FERTAIL (DTPA-FE 11%)

Addressing Iron Chlorosis in Berry Crops

When the leaves on raspberries or strawberries start yellowing while the veins remain green, it is a textbook sign of iron deficiency. Relying on simple sulfates is ineffective, especially in soils with neutral or alkaline pH.

Application and Field Performance

The product comes as a powder that dissolves remarkably well in the sprayer tank. The key here is the DTPA chelate. It is significantly more stable in high-pH conditions compared to standard EDTA formulations. Apply it strictly as a foliar treatment, ensuring the leaf surface is fully covered for maximum absorption.

• Composition Efficiency: With 11% iron in a highly bioavailable form, it revitalizes the crop within just a few days of application.
• Application Frequency: The manufacturer allows up to 2 treatments.
• Handling: As a Class 3 hazard product, it is straightforward to handle with standard PPE, consistent with other common micronutrient fertilizers.

Foliar feeding with "FERTILE" doesn't just improve leaf color; it effectively kickstarts the photosynthesis process, which directly improves berry size and market quality. If your berries are struggling with micronutrient deficiencies, this DTPA-chelated iron is the most direct path to recovery.
