Key Roles of Iron in Plant Nutrition
-
Iron: Necessary for maintenance of chlorophyll in plants and plays an important role in the formation and activity of a series of respiratory enzymes. It is also a constituent of various enzymes and proteins, important in photosynthesis and carbohydrate breakdown in mitochondria, and aids in the activation of a number of biochemical processes within the plant.
Time of Application: Foliar spray after 30 days of germination or transplantation.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Maintains Chlorophyll and Photosynthesis: Supports the formation and activity of respiratory enzymes and plays a role in photosynthesis and carbohydrate breakdown in mitochondria.
-
Corrects Iron Deficiency Quickly: Controls iron deficiency quickly and enhances absorption of other nutrients from the soil.
-
Keeps Plants Healthy: Helps maintain overall plant health, addressing chlorosis before it affects growth.
-
Improves Growth and Yield Quality: Gives normal growth and high-quality yields, increasing yield both by quality and quantity.
-
Suitable for a Wide Range of Crops: Addresses iron chlorosis, which is common in Groundnut, Pulses, Maize, Sorghum, Tapioca, Turmeric, Sugarcane, and several fruit and horticultural crops.
Multiplex Iron Dosage & Recommended Crops
Recommended Crops: Maize, Cabbage, Sugarcane, Groundnut, Peach, Apple, Citrus, Berry, Grape vines, Sorghum, Soybean, Strawberries, Raspberry, Pulses, Tapioca and Turmeric.
Method of Application and Dosage:
- Foliar Spray: Dissolve 500 g of Multiplex Iron in 250 litres of water and spray on both surfaces of leaves, after 30 days of germination or transplantation.
- Soil Application: Apply 10 kg of Multiplex Ferrous Sulphate per acre for all crops.
Compatibility, Safety & Storage
Tank-Mix Compatibility
Use Multiplex Maxiwet or Nagastha-180 sticking or spreading agent for better spreading and absorption of the sprayed solution. Consult an agronomist before tank-mixing with other fertilizers or crop protection products.
Safety Precautions
- Wear gloves while handling and spraying.
- Avoid application during peak sunlight or windy conditions for uniform coverage.
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling the product.
- Wash hands and exposed skin after application.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the product in its original sealed container.
Multiplex Iron Expert Advice
"Since iron stays put in older leaves and doesn't move to new growth, chlorosis always shows up first in younger leaves as alternate green and chlorotic stripes. Correcting this early with Multiplex Iron, either as a foliar spray or soil application, keeps chlorophyll formation on track and protects both yield quantity and produce quality."–BigHaat Agronomy Expert
Additional Information
- Iron deficiency symptoms include interveinal chlorosis of young leaves and twig die back, generally starting with paling of leaves followed by alternate green and chlorotic stripes along the length of the leaf.
- Iron deficiencies are most common in wet, cold or high pH soils, and can appear similar to nitrogen deficiency, particularly in loss of colour.
- Adding a sticking agent like Multiplex Maxiwet to the spray solution really helps with even coverage and better absorption
- Soil test-based applications are recommended for accurate deficiency correction.
