1. WHAT IS THIS PACKAGE FOR?
ferti-lome® developed this product for quick, economical and easy correction of iron deficiency (yellowing of foliage) and other similar nutrient deficiencies in potted plants, shrubs, lawns, citrus
and shade trees, flowers and vegetables.
NOTE: Chelated Liquid Iron should not be substituted for fertilizer, but should be used in addition to your regular, monthly fertilizer program.
2. HOW DO YOU USE IT?
SHRUBS AND CITRUS TREES (including Avocados and Mangoes). Foliage Spray: Mix 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. Apply a thorough foliage spray to both sides of leaves. For Citrus, apply every two weeks during the months of January, February and March or during budding and blooming. Any excess that runs off will drip down onto the root feeding zone and give longer lasting results. Soil Application: Lightly cultivate the ground out under the widest spread of branches and apply Chelated Liquid Iron according to
the following chart:

FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES
