Re: Iron
Glen,
I think a major component of ironite is iron sulfide (FeS) which has alot
of sulfur in it. A 10 pound dose on an average size plant could be as much as
500 pounds per acre. We'll have to find out from the manufaturer what the
acidifying affect is when applying a certain amount on 1,000 square feet. If
someone was sitting at 6.3 pH and dropped pH a point ...to 5.3, that would
not be a good thing to do. I think Jim Kuhn did a major overdose by mistake.
When we get some more info from ironite, this should all sort out and we will
know how to apply it while keeping an eye on pH.
