Iron is an important element for plants as it fulfils a number of metabolic functions. It also plays a major part in photosynthesis and is a large part of the production of chlorophyll. Canna Mono Iron will help treat a deficiency and ensure the plant continues to function as well as it can. Liquid Iron is easy for the plant to absorb and mixes well with any other nutrient and is stable with each pH.
Canna Mono Iron Application
- To be applied as an iron fertiliser, amongst others, in the case of an iron deficiency.
- As a supplementary remedy to stimulate the growth and bloom.
Dosage
- Maintenance dose: 1:1500 => 7.5 ml/10 litre
- Moderate deficiency: 1:1000 => 10 ml/10 litre
- Serious deficiency: 1:500 => 20 ml/10 litre
Dilute 10-20 ml concentrate per 10 litre of water (1:1000/1:500).
Warning
A good fertiliser contains all essential elements in the correct proportions. An overdose of iron will not damage the plant, but obstructs the absorption of phosphate. Therefore, proceed with caution when determining the dose. Fe contains the organic layers DTPA&EDDHA which prevent oxidation.
