Description
Liquid Iron & Nitrogen Fertiliser for Lush Green Lawns and Gardens
MaxGreen by Plant Doctor is a premium, science-backed liquid fertiliser formulated to deliver highly available iron (Fe) and nitrogen (N) for vibrant, deep green leaves. Enhanced with fulvic acid to boost nutrient uptake and retention, MaxGreen rapidly corrects iron deficiencies and supports healthy plant growth — making it essential for lawns, gardens, shrubs, and ornamentals.
MaxGreen is suitable for all plant types and soil conditions, but it performs best when soil pH is managed to avoid extreme alkalinity. If yellowing persists despite treatment, test your soil’s pH and adjust as needed. When using MaxGreen in combination with other inputs (like fertilisers, herbicides, or insecticides), always perform a jar test first to ensure compatibility. Avoid application during high temperatures or full sun, and always rinse equipment and exposed surfaces immediately after use to prevent staining from the iron content.
Why choose Max Green:
- Rapidly corrects iron chlorosis (yellow leaves)
- Promotes strong chlorophyll production for rich green foliage
- Boosts nutrient efficiency with fulvic acid
- Versatile — ideal for lawns, gardens, fruit trees, shrubs, and vines
- Eco-friendly, sustainable plant care solution
- Effective in alkaline or calcium-rich soils where iron is locked up
*Avoid mixing with incompatible products; do jar test

How it Works
The Science Behind Max Green:
Iron is an essential micronutrient required by plants for the production of chlorophyll, the green pigment that drives photosynthesis. Without enough iron, plants cannot effectively produce chlorophyll, which results in iron chlorosis, a condition marked by yellowing leaves with prominent green veins. This condition is common in lawns, fruit trees, shrubs, and ornamentals, especially in soils that are alkaline, compacted, waterlogged, or high in calcium.
MaxGreen delivers liquid iron in a highly available form, immediately absorbable by plant roots and foliage. What sets it apart is its inclusion of fulvic acid, a natural organic molecule known for its chelating and transport properties. Fulvic acid binds with nutrients like iron and nitrogen, protecting them from being locked up in the soil and helping them cross plant cell membranes more efficiently. This means plants absorb more, faster, especially under conditions where nutrients are usually unavailable.
Nitrogen (N) in MaxGreen supports lush leaf and shoot development, while sulphur (S) plays a role in protein synthesis and enzyme function. The synergy between these three nutrients, iron, nitrogen, and sulphur, improves plant colour, vitality, and growth rate, especially in stressed or nutrient-deficient conditions.
Together, the bioavailable iron, nitrogen, sulphur, and fulvic acid in MaxGreen create a powerful, fast-acting formula that revitalises tired, yellowing plants and keeps your lawn and garden thriving.
Application
- Iron products can have an adverse reaction with our darker liquids. To avoid blockages in sprayer nozzles, we recommend applying the Iron separately to other products. (Stimulizer is safe to mix with Iron). If attempting to mix together, try a jar test in the ratios you want to apply them in first. Iron should always be added last after all other products are diluted with water.
- Applied separately at various frequencies allows you to tailor nutrient input based on the soil/plant/lawn's requirements and condition.
- Shake well before use. Lightly water in. Apply separately to other products.

Safety
Safety Guidelines
Do not spray in hot weather or windy conditions.
Iron will stain paths, concrete, paving, clothes and skin, so always wear old clothes and gloves, wash hands after use and be carefully precise when applying near concrete and paths etc. Keep away from water sources such as ponds, pools etc. Can cause drying or mild irritation to skin - Rinse with water if contact occurs.
Iron deficiency in many plants & lawns is an indication of high pH or alkaline soil. If yellowing persists or returns rapidly after treatment, soil pH should be checked and adjusted if necessary. Follow application directions as excess liquid iron can lead to other problems, such as zinc and manganese deficiencies. While liquid iron provides immediate relief for plants & soil, it is not an adequate long-term solution for an iron deficiency. Keeping plants/Lawn in well-drained soil amended with sulphur to reduce the pH level can help iron in the soil become more available to plants.
DO NOT SWALLOW. Product may act as an irritant. Avoid inhalation and contact with the eyes & skin. Keep out of reach of children. Store sealed in a cool place.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PRODUCT MAY FORM SOME SOLIDS THAT CAN BLOCK FINE NOZZLES, MAY HAVE TO STRAIN PRIOR TO FILLING IF CONCERNED. NOT compatible with humic based products.
FAQ
Should I water the lawn after applying Max Green or wait 24 hours?
Foliar uptake can only happen while the leaf is wet. Max Green works best when lightly watered in after application to move nutrients into the soil. Environmental factors—such as wind, time of day, and soil pH—can influence the results, so performance may vary slightly with each application.
Can I mix Max Green with other products?
Max Green should not be mixed with other products, except for Stimulizer. Combining with other liquids may cause compatibility issues or reduce product effectiveness.
What does Max Green do?
Max Green is a liquid fertiliser with high nitrogen and iron. It quickly greens up lawns, strengthens leaf growth, and helps correct iron deficiencies for deeper colour and improved plant vigour.
How often should I apply Max Green?
Apply Max Green every 2–4 weeks during the growing season, or whenever your lawn starts to look pale or lacks vigour. Avoid over-applying to prevent nitrogen overload.
What is the application rate for Max Green?
Use 140ml per 100m² for general lawn use, diluted in water. Always read the label for specific dilution guidelines.
How quickly will I see results after applying Max Green?
Many users report visible greening within 24–48 hours after application, depending on weather and soil conditions.
Can I use Max Green on all lawn types?
Yes, Max Green is safe for use on all common Australian grasses, including buffalo, couch, kikuyu, and zoysia.
Is Max Green safe to use in hot weather?
Apply during the cooler parts of the day—early morning or late afternoon—to avoid stress or burn. Always water in lightly after application in warm conditions.
Is Max Green safe for pets and kids?
Yes, once the product has dried and been watered in, treated areas are safe for children and pets.
Can Max Green be used year-round?
Max Green is best used during the active growing seasons—spring, summer, and early autumn. Avoid applying in winter when grass is dormant.

Great result
First time using iron and the results are fantastic. So green.
MaxGreen Iron with Nitrogen Liquid Fertiliser
Colour of my lawn changed within 2 days. The deep green is amazing and now with a regular program stays this colour all year round.
A product that works!!
I applied this product on my lawn only yesterday and it seems to have greened up more overnight. I also applied this to one of my iron deficient plants and noticing a difference already
Magic Portion!
A must have product in your gardening arsenal! I use this product every 3-4 weeks especially during the growing season to bring out the best in my lawn and neighbors wonder how my lawn stands out in the heat of summer when other lawns look somewhat colorless. The secret is in the ingredients and highly recommended everyone to include it in their shopping cart the next time you visit PD's website.
Awesome green up
I just applied this to my recently scalped lawn. Within 2 days the exposed undergrowth has greened up and thanks to the added nitrogen, is pushing some good growth! Again, unbeatable value and a highly effective product. Definitely recommend.
Get it Green
I've been using Liquid Iron for ages to help green up my lawn, but MAXGreen gives your lawn that added green kick of Nitrogen. Get it!
Best all round spray
I think this product is the best all rounder to keep that green grass, and make sure its healthy. I have buffalo and its spectacular. It wont fix soil issues or nutrient issues. But once those are under control, this is the perfect thing to spray over once a month for that deep lush green that the neighbours are jealous of
MaxGreen
Great product, used in conjunction with some other products and has worked great on the lawn!
Gives lawn to envy
Changed to plant doctor from another brand and have been very happy. Max green gets your lawn a lush dark green colour that people have to feel to see that it truly is real lawn.
Deep...Deep Green
Normally the Doctors I see deliver me grief...but the Plant Doctor continues to deliver me good news over and over again. This Max Green does exactly as it says...and I dare say that as far as a deep green turf colour...my lawns would give the Adelaide Oval a run for their money. Thanks again Plant Doctor.
Wow amazing profuct
Thanks to PD this greened up my lawn in about 6-12 hours

Greener grass
I have been using MaxGreen for a couple of months now and have really noticed how much greener the lawn becomes after application. Even through the colder months it works wonders.

I sprayed only along the edge to see how well this product would work. I came home from work the next day and noticed a dark green strip along the edge of my lawn, it took me a moment to realise what was going on, then i realised. I was over the moon to see how quick and amazing the results were. So i highly recommend this product if you are wanting a quick boost in colour and growth!
