Chelated Iron Liquid 7% 10L - 100% Chelated, pH-Neutral Turf Iron for Fast Green-Up
A 100% chelated liquid iron for a fast, even green-up on fine turf, sports surfaces and amenity grass. Made with a carboxylic acid chelate at a neutral pH, the iron stays available to the grass instead of locking up with other elements in the soil, and the risk of iron oxidisation – a cause of soil panning – is greatly reduced.

Key Features
- Neutral pH protects grass cell walls – acidic iron sulphate products can strip calcium from cell walls and weaken them
- Helps shield leaf surface cells and their beneficial microbes from UV radiation, supporting natural defence against pest and disease attack
- Low sulphate content (13%) and a gentle pH, so it has little effect on the soil microbes that break down thatch
- Instantly bioavailable for rapid uptake and an outstanding presentational green-up
Suitable For
- Golf greens, tees and fairways
- Bowling greens and cricket squares
- Football, rugby and other sports pitches
- Ornamental and amenity lawns
Application
| Applicator | Application Rate | Water Volume | 5 L Pack Coverage (m²) | 10 L Pack Coverage (m²) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boom Sprayer | 20 ltr/ha | 200 - 400 ltr/ha | 2,500 | 5,000 |
| Knapsack | 2 ml/m² | 20 - 40 ml/m² |
- Half fill the sprayer with clean water, add the concentrate as required, then keep mixing thoroughly while topping up with the remaining water.
- Use a suitably calibrated sprayer and apply evenly, taking care not to overlap or miss areas.
- If no rain falls within 2 days of application, irrigate the treated area thoroughly.
- Do not apply in hot, dry weather or frosty conditions.
What is a Chelate?
The word chelate (pronounced 'key-late') comes from the Greek χηλή (chele), meaning claw, because the chelating molecule wraps around the central molecule much like a lobster's claws. In practice, a chelating agent is an organic molecule that encapsulates a plant nutrient molecule and stops it from precipitating out, which would otherwise make the nutrient unavailable. The change in surface properties of the chelated molecule makes the encapsulated ions far more likely to be absorbed through the roots and leaf tissue, so the applied nutrient is used more efficiently.
