chelated iron fertilizer for plants Ferrilene 6% EDDHA Chelated IronFerrilene is a direct replacement for Sprint 138 which is no longer available. It is a premium 100% EDDHA chelated iron (6%) formulation engineered for maximum performance in high pH, alkaline, and calcareous soils where conventional iron sources fail. Featuring the highest ortho ortho EDDHA content in the industry (5. 2%), Ferrilene delivers superior stability and long lasting iron availability even in soils with pH levels up to 12. Iron is essential

Ferrilene is a direct replacement for Sprint 138 which is no longer available. It is a premium 100% EDDHA-chelated iron (6%) formulation engineered for maximum performance in high-pH, alkaline, and calcareous soils where conventional iron sources fail. Featuring the highest ortho-ortho EDDHA content in the industry (5.2%), Ferrilene delivers superior stability and long-lasting iron availability — even in soils with pH levels up to 12.

Iron is essential for chlorophyll production and healthy plant growth, yet it has very low mobility within plants. As a result, iron deficiencies appear first in new growth as interveinal chlorosis, where leaf tissue turns yellow while veins remain green. In severe cases, foliage may whiten, growth can stall, and plant loss may occur.

Ferrilene’s strong, chemically reacted ortho-ortho chelate bonds protect iron from tie-up in difficult soils and continuously “shuttle” iron from the soil to the plant over an extended period. Developed by Valagro, Ferrilene provides reliable, season-long correction of iron chlorosis in turf, ornamentals, fruit trees, and agricultural crops.

If soil pH is below 8.0, Main Event Dry Iron is recommended; however, for the most challenging alkaline conditions, Ferrilene is the preferred solution.
