Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate is used in agriculture as fertilizer, and herbicide to improve soil pH. Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate is suitable for acidic plants to supplement plants with iron. Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate can alleviate the yellow leaf disease of flowers, trees and fruit trees. Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate can be used in combination with watering and fertilization. Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate is used in gardening to kill moss. It can effectively improve the soil and remove moss and lichen. Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate can also be used as a pesticide to prevent and control the diseases of wheat and fruit trees. At the same time, it can also be used as a fertilizer. It is a catalyst for plants to make green and plays an important role in the absorption of plants. Ferrous sulfate contains 19-20% iron. It is a good iron fertilizer. It is suitable for acid loving plants. Frequent use can prevent the occurrence of yellowing disease. Iron is necessary for the formation of plant chlorophyll. In case of iron deficiency, the formation of chlorophyll is blocked, resulting in green deficiency and light yellow leaves. Ferrous sulfate aqueous solution can directly provide iron that can be absorbed and utilized by plants and reduce the alkalinity of soil. Generally speaking, if 0.2% – 0.5% ferrous sulfate solution is directly used to irrigate the basin soil, it will have a certain effect. However, the soluble iron in the irrigated soil will be quickly fixed into insoluble iron containing compounds and become invalid. Therefore, in order to avoid the loss of iron, 0.2-0.3% ferrous sulfate solution can be used to spray on the leaves of plants. The main function of ferrous sulfate is to regulate the pH of soil and prevent plants from yellow leaves, spots, scorching and other symptoms caused by iron deficiency. Because of the particularity of various plants, ferrous sulfate is highly targeted and is more suitable for some acid loving plants, such as azalea, gardenia and so on. Ferrous sulfate is an inorganic compound. The role of ferrous sulfate in raising flowers: a small amount of ferrous sulfate is added to raise the acidity of pot soil to meet the needs of plant growth. Flowers suitable for adding ferrous sulfate include: flower viewing, such as camellia, camellia, Rhododendron, Daphne odora, Clivia, chrysanthemum, plum blossom, etc; Foliage viewing species such as iron tree, kidney fern, turtle backed bamboo, spring, feather, rubber tree, Luohan pine and five needle pine.
Action of ferrous sulfate
Regulating soil pH and promoting the formation of chlorophyll (also known as iron fertilizer) can prevent the yellowing disease of flowers and trees caused by iron deficiency. It is an indispensable element of acid loving flowers and trees, especially iron trees.
Using ferrous sulfate as a herbicide for fruits and vegetables and applying ferrous sulfate to the soil before breeding can not only improve the soil pH (especially in saline alkali land), but also inhibit the growth of weeds in the field.
Ferrous sulfate can prevent diseases and insect pests, especially scab of apples and pears, rot of fruit trees, rotten skin of fruit trees and insects. It can also be used as fertilizer to remove moss and lichens from tree trunks.
The application of ferrous sulfate flower fertilizer is also conducive to promoting the photosynthesis of flower leaves to synthesize chlorophyll, and the crops look green and plump.
Ferrous sulfate can make the hardened soil loose and powerful, promote the development of plant roots, accelerate the synthesis of various substances, improve the disease resistance of crops and promote the activation of enzymes.
