Bio-Chel Fe is easy to use, non-phytotoxic and provides high levels of chelated iron when used in foliar and/or fertigation systems. Bio-Chel Fe is safe to use and unlike other chelates does not cause leaf burn when used at recommended rates.

Features & Benefits

Benefits of Engage Bio-Chel Fe Liquid

Provides higher levels of available and chelated iron than other chelated competitor products. Contains > 90% chelated iron. Penetration of leaves and roots are at higher rates Will not cause leaf burn. Extensive research and grower trials in US and Europe have proven that Bio-Chel Fe Liquid has greater assimilation than EDTA or amino acid trace elements and is comparable in assimilation to all other leading iron chelates. Environmentally sustainable as from a renewable resource. Can be used in irrigation systems or as a foliar spray. Cost effective in use compared to other chelated iron sources.

Foliar Bio-Chel Fe Liquid

Bio-Chel Fe Liquid contains surface active polymers. This ensures even iron distribution over the leaf surface without the need for additional adjuvants. Another advantage to using Bio-Chel Fe Liquid is that the soluble component remains hygroscopic. This helps keep the iron in a water soluble form on the leaf so that it can diffuse and penetrate into the leaf even after the spray application has dried. Standard chelate spray solutions dry out in a low humidity environment while Bio-Chel Fe Liquid remains moist and active.

The Role of Iron

Iron plays a major role in chlorophyll (green pigment plants) development and its function. It plays a role in energy transfer within plants; it is a constituent of certain enzymes and proteins. Iron functions in plant restoration and plant metabolism. Soils with a high pH will reduce the availability of iron. Excessive amounts of soluble phosphate or high rates of phosphate fertilizer can inhibit iron uptake by many crops. Increased nitrate uptake can reduce iron uptake by causing an anion-cation imbalance in plants. Iron deficiencies can also be induced by the presence of bicarbonate ion in the soil (in both saline and alkaline conditions).

Bio-Chel Fe Liquid is Plant Derived

Engage Bio-Chel Fe Liquid is derived from one of nature’s most renewable resources - living trees. Bio-Chel Fe Liquid meets all the requirements of sustainable agriculture and offers growers an efficient source of “naturally” chelated iron for both foliar and soil application.

Bio-Chel Fe Liquid use in Irrigation Systems

When used in fertigation systems Bio-Chel Fe Liquid provides a highly available and complexed iron source to provide available nutrient for an extended period. Bio-Chel Fe Liquid can be used singly or in blends and added to existing feed mixes.

Bio-Chel Fe, is a rootzone and foliar fertilizer and best results will be achieved by regular application. Always read the label and follow instructions when mixing BioChel Fe Liquid with other fertilizers and pesticides. Bio-Chel Fe Liquid is compatible with most products, however when mixing with multiple products or new products for the first time a simple jar test is recommended.
