Nano Iron contains Nano particles of Iron which measure less than 100 nano metre. It has 10,000 ppm (1 %) of Nano Iron particles.
Bioavailability: Iron is ionized and embedded in a matrix of colloidal near nano size amino acid and this matrix is again coated with a biopolymer and thus the iron ion is shielded and is not coming into contact directly thus avoiding free radical generation and lipid peroxidation and does not lead to the production of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals by the Fenton reaction, or alkoxyl and peroxyl radicals from the breakdown of lipid peroxides and hence considered safe.
Kinetics: Light and electron microscope analyses have demonstrated that Iron nano particles promoted plant growth by altering the leaf organization and increasing the chloroplast number and grana stacking. They also aid in regulating the development of vascular bundles. Nano particles could also be absorbed in the roots and then transported to the central cylinder in bio-available forms, where they were translocated and utilized by the leaves and stems.
Nano iron is available as a soluble liquid formulation
The following table gives details on Application methods and doses for the different formulations
| Soluble liquid | |
| Potency | 10,000 ppm (<100 nano metre) |
| Soil application (Soil drench OR Drip irrigation) | Dose: 2 ml / L 1 Acre dose: 400 ml 1 Ha dose: 1 L |
| Soil application(Soil drench OR Drip irrigation) for Long duration crops / Orchards / Perennials | Dose: 2 ml / L 1 Acre dose: 400 ml 1 Ha dose: 1 L Apply 2 times in 1 Year. Before onset of monsoon and after monsoon. |
| Foliar application | Dose: 2 ml / L 1 Acre dose: 400 ml 1 Ha dose: 1 L |
| Foliar application for Long duration crops / Orchards / Perennials | Dose: 2 ml / L 1 Acre dose: 400 ml 1 Ha dose: 1 L Apply 2 times in 1 Year. Before onset of monsoon and after monsoon. |
Soil application: Nano iron can be used as under:
Foliar application: Mix Nano Iron at recommended doses in sufficient water and spray on foliage. Apply twice a year for long duration crops. It is recommended to have first application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall/ spring season and second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn/ fall season.
Note: Do not store Nano iron solution for more than 24 hours after mixing in water.
Compatible with biofertilizers, organic fertilizers, organic manures, biopesticides, vermicompost, sea kelp (seaweed fertilizer), protein hydrolysates, organic carbon and rock phosphate.
Note: It is advisable to have a one-week gap if soil application chemicals / pesticides are to be used after application of Nano Iron.
Store in ambient temperature, not more than 45 degrees Celsius. Preferably store between 4 – 10-degree Celsius. Keep container closed after use. Store in a dry place.
2 Years from the date of manufacturing.
Can I apply Nano Iron during day time or a hot day?
Yes. You can apply anytime.
