Srijan Ferrous Sulphate 19% Iron Micronutrient Fertilizer

Product Description

Ferrous Sulphate (FeSO₄) Micronutrient Fertilizer is an iron-based fertilizer designed to correct iron deficiency and promote healthy plant growth. Iron is an essential micronutrient required for chlorophyll synthesis, photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and various metabolic processes in plants.

Regular application helps prevent leaf yellowing (chlorosis), improves nutrient absorption, and supports vigorous plant development. By enhancing chlorophyll production, Ferrous Sulphate promotes greener foliage, better energy production, and increased crop productivity.

Mode of Action

Ferrous Sulphate is absorbed through leaves and roots, supplying essential iron required for chlorophyll synthesis. It enhances photosynthesis, enzyme activity, and plant metabolism, resulting in greener leaves, improved nutrient utilization, vigorous growth, and higher crop productivity.

FAQs Related to Ferrous Sulphate

Q. Can iron be mixed with fertilizers? 
A. Iron can be mixed with nitrogen- and potassium-based fertilizers such as urea and MOP. However, avoid mixing it with DAP, SSP, and other phosphate fertilizers, as they can convert iron into insoluble forms and reduce its availability. Do not mix ferrous sulphate with lime or alkaline products.

Q. What is another name for ferrous sulfate?
A. Ferrous sulphate is also known as green vitriol, copperas, or iron(II) sulphate. Its chemical formula is FeSO₄ and it is commonly supplied as the heptahydrate form, FeSO₄·7H₂O. Its natural mineral form is called melanterite, and in India it is commonly written as ferrous sulfate.

Q. Why does ferrous sulphate not work effectively in alkaline soil?
A. In alkaline and calcareous soils, iron from ferrous sulphate can oxidize and become unavailable to plant roots. For quick correction, use foliar spray, apply elemental sulphur to acidify the root zone, or use an Fe-EDDHA chelate in soils with pH above 7.2.
