Fe-HBED | Iron-HBED

Fe as a Chelate from HBED. Due to the high stability and affinity to trivalent Fe-Ions, HBED is a very effective chelating agent. Fe can be hold in solution even in calcium-rich media and is available for the plants up to pH values of 12. Fe-HBED has a higher stability constant compared to Fe-EDDHA (López-Rayo et al. 2009).

Mass percentage Fe: ca. 6 %.

Importance of iron in plant metabolism

Iron is constantly required during plant growth. It is a component of many enzymes and catalyzes the formation of precursors of chlorophyll - that group of materials that gives plants their characteristic green color. Chlorophylls and various iron-containing enzymes (eg ferredoxin or cytochrome b6f complex) are required for the light reactions in the plant, which provides the necessary energy for the plant growth. Therefore, iron is essential for the plant.
