Iron is a crucial micronutrient in the manufacture of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is responsible for the lush green color in plants, iron deficiency, therefore, results in interveinal chlorosis or grass leaf yellowing condition<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While most soil types typically bear excess iron nutrient deposits, the iron present is in a form that can\u2019t be absorbed by the turfgrass roots. Depending on seasons, Iron may also not be readily available for plant absorption, especially in spring. As such, the application of ironite is best done in early spring when low soil temperatures suppress nutrient availability.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBenefits of Ironite for Lawns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
