8. Storage and transportation: This product should be stored in a dry, ventilated and clean warehouse. When loading and transporting, it should be packed with care to prevent damage to the packaging, moisture and heat. During transportation, it should be protected from rain and moisture, and should be isolated from toxic substances.
Scope of application:
As a trace element nutrient, it is used in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry or other economic crops, and can be widely used in water-soluble fertilizer, foliar fertilizer, organic fertilizer, compound fertilizer and plant nutrition fortifier.
Product Features:
1.Iron is a component of many important enzymes (such as cytochrome oxidase, catalase) and electron transmitters (such as cytochrome, ferredoxin) in plants. It also participates in the formation of chlorophyll;
2. The organic acid fully chelates the metal elements with the organic active substances, which has a medium chelating strength, which not only effectively solves the compatibility problem, but also releases iron ions and organic active substances in the crop body. The slow release effect is obvious and the absorption High utilization rate;
3. The content of metallic iron element (≥17%) is higher than that of EDTA iron sodium, which can be reduced by 20% compared to the amount used. It has high active ingredients, low molecular weight, and is easier to absorb. It is an ideal substitute for EDTA iron sodium;
4. The pH value of the soil environment can be adjusted to slightly acidic, which helps to form a soil environment for beneficial microbial activities, forms a good soil aggregate structure, and has obvious soil improvement effects;
5. Low heavy metal content, will not cause harm to the environment, and it's non-toxic, harmless and more environmentally friendly;
