Berkshire, England: Iron (Fe) plays an important role in Chlorophyll production, reducing the potential of deficiency and subsequent chlorosis.
According to Indigrow, a Full Business Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation, there is a very large correlation between Fe availability and colour response in managed turf. The availability of applied Fe is reduced by high pH levels in the soil and spraying water.

A spokesperson for Indigrow said: “Ferrous Sulphate (Ferrous Fe2+) is the most commonly used form of Iron used to achieve cost-effective, rapid green up. Unfortunately, as a standalone raw material there are many pitfalls to using it in this basic form for professional turf managers.
“Using the most basic powder form can be more hazardous to the operator and very time consuming. Often, time constraints and the demand for visually pleasing results within days reduces the window of opportunity to spray.”
Obstacles to Nutrient Adsorption and Absorption
“The advanced formulation in Fusion Liquid Fe helps overcome all of these obstacles ensuring maximum adsorption and absorption of the applied Fe. The important 20% of the formulation adjuvant complexing agent and anti-oxidant which increase the efficacy of the nutrient adsorption and uptake.
“This has a magnified impact on the performance of similar, independently raw materials or products without sufficient formulation aids,” added the Indigrow spokesperson.
