Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate

Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate

Ferrous Sulphate Heptahydrate (FeSO₄·7H₂O) is pale blue-green in color crystalline compound. It's a hydrated version of ferrous sulfate—a well-known iron salt that's used as a source of iron for agriculture, industry and medicine. Iron is a vital micronutrient for plants, animals, and human beings, needed in several biological processes including provision of chlorophyll in plants and oxygen transport in animals.

Benefits

  • Iron Source
  • It is an important micronutrient which is involved in photosynthesis, respiration, and enzyme activation.
  • Cures Iron Deficiency (Chlorosis)
  • Iron chlorosis is a condition that causes yellowing of leaves and stunted growth from lack of iron.
  • Increases Soil Health
  • In alkaline and calcareous soils iron is not in a plant-available form, therefore, by using this, increases the availability of nutrients in the soil.
  • Increases Plant Metabolism
  • Enables energy transfer and nitrogen-fixation in legumes.
