Krishikranti Iron Fe 12% EDTA Chelated Iron Micronutrient Fertilizer

Krishikranti Iron Fe 12% EDTA is a 100% water-soluble chelated iron micronutrient fertilizer. It corrects iron deficiency and interveinal chlorosis in all crops vegetables, fruits, field crops, and horticultural crops. Iron in EDTA-chelated form stays available to plants across soil pH 4 to 8, including alkaline soils where regular iron fertilizers fail. Suitable for foliar spray, drip irrigation, and soil application.

New leaves turn yellow or white between the veins while the veins themselves remain green. This pattern is called interveinal chlorosis and is the most reliable sign of iron shortage in a plant. Older leaves stay green. If yellowing starts on old leaves, the problem is not iron it may be nitrogen or magnesium. Always check new growth first. Spray Krishikranti Iron Fe EDTA 12% immediately on seeing these symptoms: New leaves yellow between the veins classic interveinal chlorosis; veins stay green while leaf tissue turns pale Youngest leaves almost white or very pale yellow severe iron deficiency stage; act immediately Stunted new shoot growth iron deficiency slows cell division in growing points Poor fruit colour and size iron is essential for chloroplast function which drives photosynthesis and fruit development Reduced yield in grain crops paddy and wheat show poor tillering and weak grain filling under iron stress Common in alkaline black soils (pH above 7) iron gets locked in soil even when present in adequate quantity Critical for Indian farmers: Iron deficiency is most common in alkaline soils (pH above 7) widespread across Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Gujarat. In these soils, iron reacts with calcium carbonate and becomes unavailable to plant roots even when soil iron levels are adequate. EDTA-chelated iron (Fe EDTA 12%) remains plant-available across pH 4 to 8 this is why it works where Ferrous Sulphate fails. Dose and Application Rate Iron Fe EDTA 12% Foliar Spray 0.5 – 1 g per litre water Pump:7.5–15 g per 15-litre pump When:At deficiency signs OR preventive at vegetative stage Repeat:After 10–15 days if yellowing persists For:All crops Drip / Fertigation 500 g – 1 kg per acre When:Vegetative to flowering stage How:Dissolve fully, inject via fertigation unit Flush:Drip lines with plain water after use For:Vegetables, fruits, horticulture Soil Application 500 g per acre When:Basal before sowing or transplanting How:Mix with sand or FYM, spread near root zone Water:Irrigate immediately after application For:All field crops Hydroponics / NFT As per nutrient formula Note:Fe EDTA is the standard iron source in soilless systems Add to:Nutrient reservoir dissolves completely, no residue For:Greenhouse, NFT, deep water culture Note: Doses are based on FCO 1985 label standards. Always confirm the exact dose from the product label. Increase to 1 g/litre for severe deficiency. Use 0.5 g/litre for preventive spray. How to Use Krishikranti Iron Fe EDTA 12% For Foliar Spray: Dissolve 0.5–1 g of Fe EDTA 12% in 1 litre of clean water. Stir until fully dissolved no undissolved particles. Spray in the early morning (before 9 AM) or late evening (after 5 PM) avoid strong midday sun which causes rapid evaporation and reduces absorption. Cover both upper and lower leaf surfaces. Stomata on the underside absorb iron faster. Repeat after 10–15 days if yellowing persists. Most crops show visible greening within 5–7 days of first spray. Do not spray before expected rainfall the product will wash off before absorption. For Drip Irrigation / Fertigation: Dissolve 500 g to 1 kg per acre fully in water before adding to the drip system. Inject through the fertigation unit during the regular irrigation cycle. Flush drip lines with plain water after application to prevent residue buildup. Apply at the vegetative stage for prevention. Apply immediately on deficiency detection for correction. Jar Test Before Tank Mixing: Before mixing Fe EDTA 12% with any pesticide or fertilizer in the spray tank, mix a small quantity of each in a jar with water. Wait 30 minutes. If no precipitation, separation, or colour change occurs, the combination is safe for tank mixing. This is especially important before combining with calcium or phosphate products.

Iron stays soluble and plant-available instead of getting locked in insoluble compounds. Direct chlorophyll synthesis: Iron is a key component in chlorophyll production. Once absorbed, Fe EDTA directly restores the plant's ability to produce chlorophyll yellowing reverses within 5–10 days. Enzyme activation: Iron activates multiple plant enzymes involved in respiration, nitrate reduction, sulphate reduction, and biological nitrogen fixation in legume nodules. Stable across pH 4 to 8: Unlike ferrous sulphate which becomes insoluble above pH 6.5, EDTA-chelated iron remains fully available across the pH range found in most Indian agricultural soils. Works through both leaves and roots: Foliar spray delivers iron directly through leaf stomata. Soil or drip application delivers iron via roots without soil fixation losses. Key Benefits of Krishikranti Iron Fe EDTA 12% Corrects iron deficiency fast visible leaf greening within 5–7 days of foliar spray Works in alkaline Indian soils (pH up to 8) where regular iron fertilizers fail 100% water soluble no residue, no clogging in drip systems or sprayers Restores chlorophyll production deeper green, healthier, more productive leaves Boosts photosynthesis and dry matter accumulation for higher yields Safe for foliar application no leaf burn at recommended dose Compatible with most water-soluble fertilizers and most pesticides Suitable for field crops, horticulture, vegetables, fruits, and hydroponics FCO 1985 compliant meets Indian regulatory quality standards Frequently Asked Questions : Fe EDTA 12% Chelated Iron What is Fe EDTA 12% and what is it used for? Fe EDTA 12% is a chelated iron micronutrient fertilizer containing minimum 12% iron bound with EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid). It corrects iron deficiency in all crops. Iron deficiency causes interveinal chlorosis — new leaves turn yellow while the veins stay green. Fe EDTA 12% corrects this through foliar spray, drip irrigation, or soil application. Dose for foliar spray: 0.5–1 g per litre of water. What is the dose of Iron EDTA 12% per litre of water? The foliar spray dose of Fe EDTA 12% is 0.5 to 1 gram per litre of water. For a 15-litre knapsack sprayer, use 7.5 to 15 grams. For drip irrigation or fertigation, apply 500 grams to 1 kg per acre. Increase dose if deficiency symptoms are severe. Always confirm from the product label. What is the difference between Fe EDTA 12% and Ferrous Sulphate? Fe EDTA 12% is chelated — iron stays plant-available at pH 4 to 8 and is instantly absorbed through leaves and roots. Ferrous Sulphate precipitates in alkaline soils (pH above 6.5) and becomes unavailable to plants. Fe EDTA 12% does not cause leaf burn, does not clog drip systems, and is 3–5× more efficient per gram of iron compared to Ferrous Sulphate. Why does iron deficiency occur even when iron is present in soil? In alkaline soils (pH above 7) — common across MP, UP, Rajasthan, and Punjab — iron reacts with calcium carbonate to form insoluble compounds. Plant roots cannot absorb this fixed iron even when soil tests show iron is "present." This is iron fixation. EDTA chelation prevents fixation and keeps iron soluble and plant-available across pH 4 to 8. On which crops can Iron Fe EDTA 12% be used? Iron Fe 12% EDTA works on all crops — paddy, wheat, maize, cotton, soybean, groundnut, tomato, chilli, brinjal, okra, capsicum, cabbage, potato, grapes, pomegranate, mango, citrus, banana, apple, moong, chana, sugarcane, ginger, turmeric, and all other vegetables, fruits, pulses, and horticultural crops. Also suitable for hydroponics and greenhouse crops. When should I spray Iron EDTA 12% on my crop? Spray Iron EDTA 12% immediately when yellowing of new leaves (interveinal chlorosis) is observed. For preventive use, apply once at vegetative stage and again at flowering or fruit development. Always spray in the early morning (before 9 AM) or late evening (after 5 PM). Avoid spraying in strong afternoon sunlight or before expected rainfall. Can Fe EDTA 12% be mixed with other fertilizers or pesticides? Fe EDTA 12% is compatible with most water-soluble fertilizers and pesticides. Always do a jar test before tank-mixing — mix a small amount of each in water and wait 30 minutes to check for precipitation or separation. Avoid mixing with phosphatic fertilizers in the spray tank as phosphate can bind iron. Apply phosphate fertilizers separately.
