IRON (Fe)
-
-
-
Animal
Fe carries oxygen in the hemoglobin of red blood cells, enabling cells to produce energy
-
-
-
Soil
-
-
typically contain 1–5% total iron, or 20,000–100,000 lb/ac in the top 6 inches
-
-
-
plant deficiency seldom due to a lack of iron, typically poor plant-availability
pH influences availability
deficiencies in alkaline soils,
excesses in acidic soils
-
-
-
magnetism induces plant responses, enzyme activity, germination and water uptake in seeds
Magnetic treatments may enhance plant vigor by influencing the biochemical process that involve free radicals and by stimulating the activity of proteins and enzymes
-
-
-
-
Indicators of excess
limited protein production, or protein is lost

FUN Facts
beavers teeth are high in iron, which hardens their teeth and gives them their distinctive orange color!
-
-
-
Iron is antagonized by many minerals, and forms bonds with phosphates, sulfides, carbonates and oxides
-
The long-term solution to address Fe is through the adoption of methods that lift soil OM and aerate soils (Eh).
If high applications of nitrogen are being applied, look to reduce these, and ensure ground is covered to reduce nitrate build-up in soil.
Creating beautiful, aggregated soils and plants with dense rhizosheaths & increasing microbial biomass and activity is the key to solving Fe issues for plants, animals and humans.
