Geolife Nutri Fe - Chelated Iron EDTA 12% Micronutrient Fertilizer

Geolife Nutri Fe Chelated Iron EDTA 12% Micronutrient Fertilizer

Geolife Nutri Fe is a micronutrient fertilizer containing 12% chelated iron as Fe-EDTA. It is supplied as a free-flowing, fine white powder formulated to dissolve rapidly and completely in water.

Iron is an essential micronutrient involved in chlorophyll formation, photosynthesis, respiration and several enzymatic processes. Nutri Fe provides iron in an EDTA-chelated form to support availability and utilisation by plants.

The supplied recommendation is 50 g per acre through foliar application during the vegetative stage. Nutri Fe is described as suitable for vegetables, flowers, cereals, pulses, fruits and spice crops when used according to the current product label.

Guaranteed Composition

Importance of Iron in Plants

Iron is required for chlorophyll synthesis but is not itself a structural component of the chlorophyll molecule. Magnesium occupies the central position in the chlorophyll molecule, whereas iron supports the biochemical processes needed to produce it.

How the EDTA-Chelated Form Supports Crops

Iron can become less available after reacting with soil constituents, particularly in unsuitable soil-pH conditions. EDTA chelation helps keep iron in a soluble form and supports its availability for plant uptake.

Foliar application supplies the nutrient directly to plant foliage. Actual absorption and crop response depend on leaf condition, spray coverage, water quality, weather, nutrient status and adherence to the product label.

Key Features

• 12% Chelated Iron: Contains iron in the Fe-EDTA form.
• Water-Soluble Formulation: The fine powder is designed to dissolve quickly and completely in water.
• Chlorophyll Support: Supplies iron required for normal chlorophyll synthesis.
• Healthy Foliage: Helps support natural green leaf colour where iron supply is limiting.
• Vegetative-Stage Nutrition: Recommended during active leaf and shoot development.
• Low-Dose Foliar Use: The supplied recommendation is 50 g per acre.
• Multi-Crop Potential: Suitable for different agricultural and horticultural crop groups according to label directions.

Potential Benefits

• Supports the prevention or correction of iron deficiency.
• Helps maintain healthy chlorophyll formation.
• Supports natural green foliage and vegetative growth.
• Supports photosynthetic and respiratory processes.
• Helps maintain normal enzyme and metabolic activity.
• Supports healthy development of actively growing plant tissues.
• Helps maintain crop vigour under iron-limiting conditions.
• Supports overall crop-quality and productivity potential.

Benefit note: Nutri Fe supplies iron nutrition but should not be treated as a cure for every cause of leaf yellowing. Similar symptoms can result from nitrogen, magnesium, manganese or sulphur deficiency, root damage, waterlogging, pests, diseases or unsuitable soil pH.

Possible Signs of Iron Deficiency

• Symptoms commonly appearing first on young or recently developed leaves
• Yellowing between the veins while the veins remain comparatively green
• Pale-green to yellow young foliage
• Severe cases producing nearly white young leaves
• Weak development of actively growing plant tissues
• Reduced photosynthetic performance under severe deficiency

Iron is relatively immobile within plants, so deficiency symptoms generally appear on younger leaves first. This differs from magnesium deficiency, which commonly appears first on older leaves.

Confirm suspected iron deficiency through crop history, soil-pH assessment, soil testing or plant-tissue analysis before repeated application.

Recommended Crop Groups

Crop-use warning: These are general examples within the supplied crop groups. Apply Nutri Fe only to crops and stages permitted on the current product label.

Dosage and Application

The supplied information does not specify an exact water volume, number of applications or repeat interval. Confirm these parameters from the current Nutri Fe label before application.

General Foliar-Application Procedure

1. Confirm that the selected crop and stage are approved on the label.
2. Use clean water and properly calibrated spraying equipment.
3. Measure 50 g of Nutri Fe for one acre where label-approved.
4. Dissolve the measured powder in a small quantity of clean water.
5. Stir thoroughly until the product is fully dissolved.
6. Half-fill the spray tank with clean water.
7. Add the dissolved concentrate while continuously stirring.
8. Add the remaining label-recommended water volume.
9. Spray uniformly over the crop foliage without excessive runoff.
10. Use the prepared solution promptly and clean the equipment after use.

Best Application Practices

• Apply during the cooler morning or evening hours.
• Avoid spraying during strong wind or extreme heat.
• Do not spray immediately before rainfall.
• Avoid applying to severely wilted or heat-stressed crops.
• Use sufficient water for uniform coverage of young foliage.
• Do not exceed the recommended concentration or frequency.
• Monitor crop response before repeating the application.

Tank-Mix Compatibility

Combine Nutri Fe with fertilizers or pesticides only when all relevant labels permit the mixture. Fe-EDTA may interact with strongly alkaline materials, concentrated calcium fertilizers, phosphates or other incompatible inputs.

Conduct a small jar test and limited crop-safety test before broad application of an unfamiliar mixture. Do not use a combination that develops sediment, separation, lumps, excessive heat or another sign of incompatibility.

Safety Precautions

• Read and follow the complete product label before use.
• Wear gloves, protective clothing, eye protection and a suitable mask.
• Avoid inhaling fertilizer dust or spray mist.
• Avoid unnecessary contact with skin and eyes.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke while mixing or applying the product.
• Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.
• Keep children and animals away during application.
• Do not contaminate drinking-water sources, ponds or streams.

Storage Instructions

• Store Nutri Fe in its original, properly closed pack.
• Keep in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location.
• Protect the powder from moisture, sunlight and excessive heat.
• Close the pack immediately after removing the required quantity.
• Keep away from food, beverages, medicines and animal feed.
• Keep securely out of reach of children and animals.
• Use before the expiry date printed on the pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Geolife Nutri Fe?

Nutri Fe is a water-soluble micronutrient fertilizer containing 12% chelated iron as Fe-EDTA.

What is the recommended dosage?

The supplied foliar recommendation is 50 g per acre during the vegetative stage. Follow the label for the correct water volume and repeat interval.

Why is iron important for plants?

Iron supports chlorophyll synthesis, photosynthesis, respiration and multiple enzyme-driven plant processes.

Does iron form part of the chlorophyll molecule?

No. Iron is essential for chlorophyll synthesis, while magnesium forms the central part of the chlorophyll molecule.

Why does iron deficiency appear on young leaves first?

Iron is relatively immobile within plants, so it cannot be readily moved from older leaves to actively growing young tissues.

Can Nutri Fe be used on all crops?

The supplied information lists vegetables, flowers, cereals, pulses, fruits and spices. Apply it only according to the current label.

Can Nutri Fe be used through soil or fertigation?

The supplied recommendation confirms foliar application. Use soil or fertigation methods only if they are specifically approved on the current product label.

Can it be mixed with calcium nitrate?

Do not prepare a concentrated mixture without confirmed compatibility. Separate applications may be preferable where precipitation or crop-safety concerns exist.

Does Nutri Fe replace NPK fertilizer?

No. Nutri Fe primarily supplies iron and does not replace the crop’s essential nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium requirements.
