The effects and efficacy of ferrous sulfate on plants

1. Adjust the pH of the soil: ferrous sulfate can adjust the pH of the soil, it is acidic, many plants growing in nature need an acidic soil environment, so as to grow well, adding ferrous sulfate to the soil can make the soil become weakly acidic, which is conducive to the absorption of nutrients by the roots of plants that like acidic soil.

2. Promote chlorophyll synthesis: ferrous sulfate is commonly known as iron fertilizer, iron can promote the synthesis of chlorophyll, if the iron element is insufficient in the process of growth and development of plants, it is easy to appear yellowing of leaves, so it is necessary to regularly apply fertilizer with iron elements, ferrous sulfate can also promote the absorption of phosphorus and nitrogen by plants.

3. Application method: ferrous sulfate is acidic, so it can only be applied to plants in the environment of acidic soil, and ferrous sulfate needs to be dissolved with clean water before use, so as to play the role of supplementing iron, and it should be diluted in a certain proportion before application, and the concentration is too high to cause damage to the plant.

The effects of ferrous sulfate are as follows:1. Generally, ferrous sulfate contains 19-2 iron, sulfur, and is a good iron fertilizer.

2. Regular use of acid-loving plants can prevent and control the occurrence of yellowing. Because iron is necessary for the formation of plant chlorophyll, when iron is deficient, the formation of chlorophyll is hindered, causing plants to develop green deficiency and the leaves turn yellow. The aqueous solution of ferrous sulfate can directly provide iron that can be absorbed and utilized by plants, and can reduce the alkalinity of the soil.

3. At the same time, ferrous sulfate can also be used as a pesticide to prevent and control wheat smut, apple and pear scabs, and fruit tree rot diseases; It can also be used as fertilizer to remove moss and lichen from tree trunks.

There are many plants suitable for ferrous sulfate, and the commonly used ones are gardenias, Milanese, azaleas, hydrangeas, violets, coleus grasses, hyacinths, etc. Pay attention to the frequency of use, just use it once a month, if you use it too often or for too long, it will affect the growth of the plant.

Ferrous sulfate has a very many effects, especially in farmed plants. Firstly, the application of ferrous sulfate can adjust the pH of the potting soil and reduce the pH value of the soil. It can promote the synthesis of plant chlorophyll and effectively inhibit yellowing caused by iron deficiency in plants. To use ferrous sulfate correctly, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

When a plant grows for a certain period of time, the soil will gradually deteriorate, for example, acidic soil will become alkaline. At this time, ferrous sulfate can play a good role in regulation, and it can be applied to the soil to effectively improve the soil acidity and alkalinity, and reduce the pH value in the potting soil, so that the root system can grow more fully in the soil.

Applying ferrous sulfate to plants can effectively promote the synthesis of chlorophyll in plants. However, it should be noted that it should not be used frequently, otherwise it will lead to root growth***, for example, the plant roots will become black and gray and rotten. In addition, it can also supplement a large amount of iron, which can effectively avoid yellowing, falling off and wilting of plant leaves.

First of all, ferrous sulfate is only suitable for flowering plants that like to grow in acidic soil, and plants that prefer to grow in alkaline soil are prohibited. Then it must be dissolved in water to dissolve and produce iron when it is used, so it cannot be sprayed directly in the potting soil, which must be noted.

When spraying and using, be sure to mix ferrous sulfate and water in accordance with the proportion, and pay attention not too much or too little. When watering, it can be directly poured on the soil layer of the root of the plant, which is conducive to the full absorption and growth of the root system. Note that ferrous sulfate should be sealed during and after use, and kept in a dry location.

Ferrous sulfate can be used to make iron salts, iron oxide pigments, mordants, water purification agents, preservatives, disinfectants, etc.;

1. Water treatment.

Ferrous sulphate is used for the flocculation purification of water, as well as for the removal of phosphate from municipal and industrial effluents to prevent eutrophication of water bodies.

2. Reducing agent.

A large amount of ferrous sulfate is used as a reducing agent, mainly to reduce chromate in cement.

3. Medicinal. ferrous sulfate for **iron deficiency anemia; It is also used to add iron to food, and long-term overuse may cause abdominal pain, nausea, etc. In medicine, it can also be used as a local astringent and blood tonic agent, and can be used for chronic blood loss caused by uterine fibroids.

4. Colorants.

Ferrous sulphate is used in the production of iron tannate inks and other inks. Mordants for wood dyeing also contain ferrous sulfate; Ferrous sulfate can be used to dye concrete to a yellow rust color; Carpentry uses ferrous sulphate to dye maple with a silvery color.
