Effect of Various Iron-Pronounced Foliar Fertilizers on Re-Greening and Regeneration of Chloroplasts in Chlorotic Soybean Plants

Abstract

Iron chlorosis is a world-wide problem. Soils in which iron chlorosis occurs are referred to as high-lime, alkaline or calcareous. Iron chlorosis is also associated with high density of the soil, poor drainage after irrigation or with wet and cold weather conditions. Under these conditions iron is not available for continuous supply to the plant. As iron supplied to the soil is fixed under high pH values spray application of iron is the most common treatment in the field to correct iron deficiency chlorosis.
