Ferrous Sulfate

Ferrous sulfate (Iron(II) sulfate) is a product I typically do not add, but needed to this year to help keep everything in balance. I personally, prefer to have a soil slightly lower in nutrients but balanced rather than to high and out of sync. Also, tissue tests in the past have indicated that my plants are on the lower end of the range suggested range for iron. Adding some to the soil may be helpful at reducing the amount I may need to supplement with in-season. Be careful when adding nutrients since it is much easier to add nutrients than to try and take them away.

Rate applied is based on soil test.
