Physical State: homogeneous cylindrical pallet with a medium diameter of 3 - 4 mm and a medium length of 5 - 7 mm.

It prevents ferric chlorosis which is a result of deficiencies of Iron in the soil or of its unavailability towards root absorption, caused by the excessive presence of limestone. For this reason, it is necessary that the Iron results protected from the possibility of being immobilized in the ground and the best performance is carried out by the humified organic substance. In confirmation to that, several experiments but also direct experience of farmers have widely demonstrated that Iron sulfate fertilization, associated with the application of humified and stabilized organic substance, guarantees the best results in order to prevent and heal Iron deficiencies.

ECOFERRO® 250 PLUS / As a nutrient:

• With ECOFERRO® 250 PLUS based fertilizers, the crop is also given slow-release organic Nitrogen which, most of all during autumnal fertilization, doesn’t risk to be washed out by rain.
• ECOFERRO® 250 PLUS is perfect for the fertilization of orchard implants (apple tree, pear tree, cherry tree, peache tree, kiwi tree and plum tree) and vineyards, since it allows the storage of Iron and organic substance in the depth of the ground, in areas of the soil that won’t be reached later during the following cultivation phases.
• Usually recommended doses are sufficient to prevent and also heal any lack of Iron and are also enough to provide an adequate basic nitrogenous nutrition.
• ECOFERRO® 250 PLUS is widely used in winter-summer periods for the fertilization of gardens, lawns, shrubs and all kinds of bushes. After spreading, it is recommended to bury the product; from march onwards, irrigate when needed.
• Open field spreading must take place at a minimum depth of 2 cm and a maximum depth of 15 cm; usage on arboreal crops must be at a minimum distance of 18 - 20 cm from the trunk and at a depth of 10-15cm.

Correct Doses and Usage

Crops	Period	Dosage	Directions of use
Apple tree, Pear tree, Cherry tree, Apricot tree	Early spring, autumn after harvest	0,5-1 kg in every plant	Bury the product; if grassed, spread before mulching
Peach tree Plum tree Kiwi tree	Early spring, autumn after harvest	1,0-1,5 kg in every plant	Bury the product; if grassed, spread before mulching
Grapevine, Dessert grape, Citrus fruit	Early spring, autumn after harvest	0,5-1 kg in every plant	Bury the product; if grassed, spread before mulching
Strawberry, Horticultural crops	Before seeding or before transplant during soil preparation	600-800 kg/ha	Bury the product before soil premise
Protected crops, Flowers, Green frond plants	Before seeding or before transplant during soil preparation	80-150 kg in 1000 m2	Bury the product or spread it on the surface; then, irrigate

 

CROP	Non-calcareous and/or with a high amount of organic substance	Calcareous and/or with low organic substance	Poor in Iron and/or calcareous
New implant: Orchards, Vineyards, Kiwi trees, Citrus fruit	1000-1200	1500-2000	2000-2500
				Burial depth depends on the level of shortage
	600-700	800-1100	1000-1200
	On the line, with plants in production	Slightly bury; if not possible, spread before grass mulching
Horticultural, Crops flowers	600-900	1000-1200	1200-1500
