Boca Hydro Chelated Iron EDTA 14%

Iron defeciency commonly called lime induced chlorosis, is yellow color that occurs in newly emerged leaves instead of older leaves.

Iron is one of the most important micro nutrients for plants, trees and lawns. While iron is usually plentiful in soil, it is not available in a form for plants to absorb it and with frequent rains many plants will become defecient.

Using high nitrogen fertilizers raises ph, making iron in the soil even less available which is why iron supplements must be chelated.

Boca Hydro Chelated Iron EDTA 14% is a fully chelated iron source designed to correct and prevent iron deficiencies in a wide range of plants. Iron is essential for chlorophyll synthesis, photosynthesis, and enzyme function—making it crucial for lush green growth and overall plant vitality.

Our EDTA chelate ensures high solubility and availability in neutral to slightly acidic pH environments (pH 4-6.5), making it ideal for hydroponics, fertigation, and foliar feeding. Safe, stable, and efficient—this iron source supports vibrant foliage, robust root development, and healthy metabolism in fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, trees, and turf.
