Ferrilene 6% EDDHA Chelated Iron bag (5 lbs)

Ferrilene Chelated Iron EDDHA

Ferrilene is a premium soluble micronutrient granule that supplies 6.0% chelated iron derived from iron EDDHA for correction of iron deficiency, especially in alkaline soil conditions. As a direct replacement for Sprint 138, Ferrilene is designed for difficult high-pH soils where conventional iron sources may become tied up and unavailable to plants.

Iron is essential for chlorophyll production, green color, photosynthesis, and healthy plant growth. Because iron has low mobility within plants, deficiency symptoms often appear first in new growth as interveinal chlorosis, where leaf tissue turns yellow while veins remain green. Ferrilene is applied into the root zone through drip line, drench, injection, band application, or watering-in methods to provide plant-available iron where roots can access it.

Features & Benefits

✓ Direct replacement for Sprint 138 with 6.0% EDDHA-chelated iron for high-pH iron deficiency programs

✓ EDDHA chelation helps keep iron available in alkaline soil conditions where standard iron sources can fail

✓ Designed for root-zone application by drip line, drench, injection, band application, or watering-in

✓ Helps correct iron chlorosis symptoms such as yellowing new growth, interveinal chlorosis, weak color, and reduced vigor

✓ Labeled for turf, ornamentals, fruit and nut crops, citrus, grapes, berries, field crops, vegetables, and other listed crops

✓ Flexible timing allows applications throughout the season, with early vegetative growth or post-harvest before dormancy preferred

✓ Smaller split applications are preferred over fewer large applications for consistent iron availability

Labeled Use Sites

Ferrilene is labeled for fruit and nut crops including apples, apricots, avocados, cherries, macadamias, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums, prunes, and walnuts; citrus; grapes; berries including blackberries, boysenberries, dewberries, loganberries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries; field crops including alfalfa, forage grasses, cotton, cowpeas, field peas, flax, rice, soybeans, sunflowers, sugar beets, and sugarcane; corn, peanuts, sorghum, vegetables, ornamentals, and turf.

Target Deficiency

Ferrilene is designed for correction and prevention of iron deficiency, especially in alkaline soils. Iron deficiency commonly appears as chlorosis in new growth, with yellow leaf tissue between green veins. Severe iron deficiency may lead to pale or nearly white foliage, poor growth, reduced vigor, and overall decline in plant quality.

Application Notes

Apply Ferrilene into the root zone through drip line, drench, injection, band application, or by watering in the solution. The label states that applications can be made throughout the season, but early vegetative development or post-harvest before dormancy are preferred. Splitting smaller amounts into several applications is preferred over applying large quantities in fewer applications.

Rates depend on soil type, deficiency severity, and soil conditions. For turf, the label lists 2 to 3 oz per 1,000 sq ft when deficiency symptoms appear, and 0.5 to 1 oz per 1,000 sq ft for maintenance. Direct exposure to sunlight should be avoided; store in a dry warehouse sheltered from sun, and cover immediately with soil after application.
