How to Use

For best results, always apply Yates Liquid Iron Chelate as a foliar spray, the recommended yellow leaf corrector for acid-loving plants.

  • General Application:

    1. Mix 20 mL of Yates Liquid Iron Chelate in 1 L of water.
    2. Spray lightly to wet leaves before runoff using a garden sprayer.
    3. Apply every 2–4 weeks or when symptoms appear.
  • Stone Fruit:

    1. Use only as a soil drench—mix 5–10 mL in 2 L of water.
    2. Apply with a watering can every 2–4 weeks as needed.
  • Always apply to moist soil and avoid spraying during flowering or when temperatures exceed 25°C. For best absorption, spray in the early morning or late afternoon.
  • Reassess plant symptoms every few weeks and reapply as necessary. Multiple small applications are more effective than a single large dose.

FAQ

Can Yates Liquid Iron Chelate be used on all types of plants?

Yates Liquid Iron Chelate is formulated primarily for acid-loving plants such as camellias, azaleas, rhododendrons, citrus, and roses. While it is safe for most garden plants, it is especially effective as a yellow leaf corrector for acid-loving varieties. For stone fruit, only use as a soil drench rather than a foliar spray.

How quickly will I see results after applying Yates Liquid Iron Chelate?

Most users notice visible greening of leaves within days to a week after application, especially when used as a foliar spray. The fast-acting chelated formula ensures rapid absorption and correction of iron deficiency symptoms.

Is Yates Liquid Iron Chelate safe for use around pets and children?

When used as directed, Yates Liquid Iron Chelate is considered non-hazardous and not scheduled as a poison. However, it is recommended to store the product out of reach of children and pets and avoid direct contact with skin or eyes during application.

Will this product stain paving, clothing, or garden ornaments?

Iron-based products, including Yates Liquid Iron Chelate, can potentially cause staining if they come into contact with porous surfaces or light-colored materials. It is advisable to apply carefully and avoid overspray on hard surfaces or decorative items.

How does Yates Liquid Iron Chelate compare to granular iron supplements?

Liquid chelated iron is absorbed more rapidly by plants, particularly when applied as a foliar spray. Granular forms may take longer to be effective and are more suitable for ongoing soil conditioning, while Yates Liquid Iron Chelate provides a quick solution for visible yellowing and iron deficiency.

Restore vibrant green colour with Yates Liquid Iron Chelate – a fast-acting yellow leaf corrector for acid-loving plants, providing essential iron to restore vibrant green foliage and promote healthy growth.
