Know before you buy
The primary indicator is interveinal chlorosis, where the leaves turn yellow while the veins remain green. If your plants are showing this discoloration, it is often a sign of an iron deficiency that this chelated formula can help correct.
Yes, this product is safe for use on vegetables. It is designed to be versatile and can be applied to a wide range of plants, including flowers, shrubs, and trees.
A foliar spray provides a rapid, direct nutrient boost through the leaves for quick visual improvement. A soil drench is applied to the root zone, which allows the plant to take up the nutrients over a longer period through its root system.
While not required, using a spreader sticker like Hi-Yield® Spreader Sticker can help the foliar spray adhere better to the leaves, ensuring more efficient absorption and less runoff.
For foliar applications, mix 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. For soil drenches, the rate varies from 1 to 16 ounces per gallon depending on the size of the plant, so be sure to check the label for your specific plant type.
No, this is a mineral-based, non-organic fertilizer. It is formulated for quick, targeted correction of nutrient imbalances rather than long-term soil building.
