The Science and Future of Iron Fertilization
Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and plays a critical role in chlorophyll formation, respiratory metabolism, electron transport, and various oxidation-reduction enzyme systems. It is indispensable for maintaining normal crop growth and development. Although iron is abundant in the Earth’s crust, the proportion of plant-available iron in agricultural soils is extremely low, often accounting for less than 10% of total soil iron.
