Humiron®‚ water soluble iron humate is an iron micronutrient containing 40% bio-active humic acids and 6% iron in chelated form available for plants and can be used for correction and elimination of iron deficiency. It can be applied either as a soil application or as a foliar spray. Soil applications of Humiron®‚ can be made as a drench, injected directly into the soil or banded. The presence of humic acids provides the positive impacts on plant growth and health as well as on resistance against stress factors.

Origin:

After perennial research activities Humintech GmbH succeeded in developing a 100% water soluble, environmentally friendly iron humate. Humiron®‚ water soluble iron humate is gained through extraction from German highly oxidized lignites (known as Leonardite) and addition of a mineral iron salt. Next to iron it provides a very high content of humic and fulvic acids and natural biologically active trace elements. The raw materials of Humiron® are harmless and guarantee an ecological first-quality product.

Benefits:

Iron plays a key role in formation of chlorophyll, a vital component to ensure plant health. In case of iron defiency leaves have interveinal chlorosis where plant leaves are light green to yellow. In Humiron®‚ water soluble iron humate iron is complexed and chelated with humic acids that makes iron available for plants in a wide variety of problem soils. It can be used for correction and elimination of iron deficiency and applied to all agricultural and horticultural plants. It can enhance the performance of fertilizers and reduces input-costs.

• Increases iron and nutrient uptake
• Economic source of iron versus traditional chelated sources
• Direct uptake of iron, prior conversion needless
• Rich in humic and fulvic acids, which protect iron and existent micro nutrients from oxidation
• Effective especially in alkaline soils
• Physically fixed in soils, improves water-holding capacity and reduces leaching
• Eco-friendly
• Increases the permeability of cell-membranes in the roots and increases nutrient uptake
• Acts as a natural chelator for micro-elements in alkaline soils and increases their availibility for plants
• Decreases stress by drought and stress by the application of plant treatments
• Reduces the residues of herbicides and toxic substances in the soils
• Natural product, significant less phytotoxic than synthetic chelates

Humiron®‚ water soluble iron humate is 100% water soluble and it will not block the nozzles of irrigation systems, as the particle size of the suspension is <100 microns. It is suitable for direct application or can also be mixed with soluble fertilizer formulations like soluble NPK, MAP, DAP or urea and also with herbicides. It can be applied by sprinkler, drip or surface irrigation systems. First mix a small amount in a minimum of 5 L of water and fill these in the mixing-tank. We recommend to carry out a miscibility test before the first application of a mixture.

Direction For Use:

Foliar application:
Dissolve 0.5-1 g/L water and apply after planting or when deficiency symptoms appear. Repeat in 2-3 weeks if needed.

• Pipfruit: 5-10 g/10L per tree.
• Citrus: 5-10 g/10L per tree.
• Grapes: 10-15 g/10 L per vine.
• Field and vegetable crops: 1-1,5 kg/1000L per hectare.

UV stability: Absolutely UV stable at foliar application.

Soil Aapplication:
Apply 30-100 g/tree in light sandy soils and 100-200 g in heavy soils annually in spring, either prior to or at the time of new spring growth or when deficiency symptoms appear.

• Pipfruit: 10 g/tree per 10 cm diameter of bole.
• Citrus: 5-10 g/m² (nursery stock), 100-150 g/tree for an annual maintenance program.
• Berries and grapes: 75-150 g per 10 m.
• Field and vegetable crops, turfs: 5 kg/ha (e.g.: forage grasses, cotton, peas, rice, corn, beans, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower).
• Cut flowers: 10-20 g/100L in summer, 5-10 g/100L in winter into the irrigation water.
• Ornamental plants: 25-50 g/m³ of flower soil (flowerpot) 5-10 g/m³ of flower soil (flowerbed).
• Ornamental grove: 60-70 g/tree (spreaded) or per 10L water.
• Roses: 10-15 g/m³ (spreaded) or 25-50 g add to 10L of water.
