Sequestrene 138 Fe Iron Chelate is a source of iron in a form readily available to plants. It can be applied either as a soil application or as a foliar spray. Sequestrene 138 Fe is effective over a wide pH range, including soils where pH is 7.0 and above. Rates of application will depend upon the severity of deficiency, but should be kept within the recommended range for each crop.

To be absorbed from the soil, the Sequestrene 138 Fe must get into the root zone. The chelate can be placed in the root zone during planting or it can be moved into the soil by rainfall, irrigation, or tillage.

Soil applications of Sequestrene 138 Fe can be made as a drench, injected directly into the soil, or banded. For row crops, soil applications are most effective when made in a band placed in the soil at planting time, or as a sidedressing shortly after plants emerge or after transplanting. Sequestrene 138 Fe can be applied alone or in combination with dry or liquid fertilizers. When applied to the soil around trees, apply within the drip line and lightly incorporate into the soil or water in. Sequestrene 138 Fe can be used at any time, but application in the spring or around planting time is preferred because (1) spring rains will move Sequestrene 138 Fe into root zone, and (2) iron will be available during the early flush of plant growth. Injection into the irrigation water provides a good after-planting method of application.

Foliar spray applications in water should be made as thorough cover sprays carefully following the Directions for Use given below. Adding a small amount of wetting agent or detergent to the solution may be helpful to insure even distribution on the leaf surfaces and increase the effectiveness of foliar applications. Sequestrene 138 Fe is compatible with most commonly used insecticides and fungicides and can be applied in combination with them. However, because available pesticide combinations differ so widely, before applying chelate-pesticide combinations to large crop areas a small test area should be sprayed to determine that no phytotoxicity or undesirable effects result from the combination spray.

To facilitate mixing of the product into solution, it is suggested that the required amount be added to a small amount of water and mixed until completely dissolved. The pre-mix solution can then be added, using agitation, to the final water or liquid fertilizer solution.

Fruit and Nut Crops (in orchards and groves)

Foliage: Mix 1-11/2 lbs. per 100 gals. of water and apply as a thorough cover spray prior to bloom or after harvest. To avoid possible injury to plants do not use in combination with oils.

Soil: Apply 1/2-2 oz. per tree for each inch of trunk diameter, but do not apply more than 1 lb. per tree. Apply annually in the spring, either prior to or at the time of new spring growth.

Foliage: Mix 1-3 lbs. per 100 gals. of water and apply as a thorough cover spray about 4-6 weeks after full bloom. If deficiency is severe, apply 1 or 2 additional sprays at 2-3 week intervals. To avoid possible injury to plants do not use in combination with oils.

Foliage: Mix 1 lb. per 100 gals. of water and apply as a thorough cover spray any time after the harvest of the main crop and up until bloom of the succeeding main crop. Do not apply when the main fruit crop is on the tree. To avoid possible injury to plants do not use in combination with oils or miticides.

Soil: For nursery stock, apply 1/3-1/2 lb. per 300 sq. ft. For mature trees, apply 1/3-1/2 lb. per tree in light sandy soils and 1/2-1 lb. per tree in heavy soils. Broadcast evenly within the drip line prior to the winter flush of growth. For an annual maintenance program, apply 1/4-1/3 lb. per tree.

Soil: Band or sidedress 1/2-1 lb. per 100 ft. of row in early spring or when deficiency symptoms first appear.

Foliage: Mix 11/2 lbs. per 100 gals. of water and apply as a thorough cover spray.

Soil: Band or sidedress 1/2-1 lb. per 100 ft. of row.

Soil: Apply up to 5 lbs. per acre at planting or when deficiency symptoms first appear.

Foliage: Apply 11/2 lbs. per acre in sufficient water for thorough coverage. Apply 4-6 weeks after planting or when deficiency symptoms first appear. Repeat in 2-3 weeks if necessary.

Soil: Apply up to 5 lbs. per acre at planting or when deficiency symptoms first appear.

Soil: Band or sidedress up to 5 lbs. per acre at planting or when deficiency symptoms first appear.

Soil: Apply up to 10 lbs. per acre at planting or within a few weeks after planting.

Foliage: Apply 11/2 lbs. per acre in sufficient water for thorough coverage. Apply 4-6 weeks after planting or when deficiency symptoms first appear. Repeat in 2-3 weeks if necessary.

Foliage: Apply 2-21/2 lbs. per acre in a band over the soybean plants with sufficient water for thorough coverage. Apply within 3-7 days after chlorotic symptoms develop or when the beans are growing into the second trifoliolate stage. Applications later than the second trifoliolate stage will not be as effective.

Soil: Band or sidedress up to 5 lbs. per acre at planting or when deficiency symptoms first appear.

Foliage: Apply 11/2 lbs. per acre in sufficient water for thorough coverage. Apply 4-6 weeks after planting or when deficiency symptoms first appear. Repeat in 2-3 weeks if necessary. Apply to cucumbers, eggplants, melons, peppers, squash, and tomatoes prior to bloom.
