Southern Ag Chelated Liquid Iron 1 Gallon – 5% Iron Concentrate for Lawns, Ornamentals & Vegetables

Southern Ag Chelated Liquid Iron is a concentrated, easy-to-apply 1-gallon liquid iron formulation designed to correct iron deficiency and boost rich green color in lawns, ornamentals, vegetables and trees.

When plants show pale leaves or interveinal yellowing from low available iron, a chelated liquid iron delivers iron in a plant-ready form without altering soil pH. This one-gallon jug contains 5% iron in a chelated form that helps roots and foliage absorb iron more readily than many insoluble iron sources. Southern Ag's formulation is intended for foliar spray or soil application where manufacturers' rates are followed, making it practical for home gardeners, landscapers and small-acreage growers aiming for healthier green color across lawns, shrubs and edible beds.

How quickly will I notice greener color after applying this liquid iron?

Foliar applications can produce visible darkening of leaf tissue within several days to a week as iron is absorbed through leaf surfaces. Soil applications may take longer because the iron must move to feeder roots and be taken up by the plant.

• Foliar spray: often visible in 3–7 days under good weather.
• Soil drench: gradual improvement over 1–3 weeks depending on soil conditions.
• Repeat applications can maintain color without over-application when used per label rates.

Can I use this iron on lawns, vegetable gardens, and trees without harming plants?

Yes — when applied according to label instructions, the chelated iron is safe for many turfgrasses, ornamentals, vegetables and woody plants. Avoid excessive concentrations and do not mix with incompatible products; always test a small area if unsure.

• Suitable for turf: promotes deep green color without nitrogen.
• Good for ornamentals and young trees showing chlorosis symptoms.
• Follow dilution and timing directions to prevent leaf burn or staining.

What are the practical application methods and rates for a 1-gallon jug?

This product can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench; rates vary by plant type and treatment frequency. Use calibrated spray equipment for even coverage and measure carefully to avoid over-application.

• Foliar: dilute according to label and spray until leaves are uniformly coated.
• Soil drench: mix into water and apply around the root zone to encourage uptake.
• One-gallon jug provides multiple treatments for small to medium properties when used at recommended rates.

Will this affect soil pH or replace a full fertilizer program?

Chelated iron is formulated to remain available to plants across a range of pH levels and does not meaningfully change soil pH. It corrects iron-specific deficiencies but is not a complete fertilizer; continue a balanced feeding plan for nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

• Designed to supply iron only (5% iron content).
• Use alongside regular fertilization for overall plant nutrition.
• Helpful as a corrective treatment rather than a sole long-term feed.

Who is this for? Southern Ag Chelated Liquid Iron, 1 Gallon, is ideal for homeowners, landscapers and small growers who need a practical, concentrated iron source to quickly address chlorosis and improve visual green color across lawns, ornamental beds, vegetables and young trees. It's a good choice when iron deficiency is the specific issue and when users prefer a chelated liquid that’s simple to measure and apply with common spray or drench equipment.
