Iron Chlorosis and Mineral Content of ‘Fay Alberta’, ‘Shippers Late Red’ and ‘Redhaven’ Peach Trees as Affected by Iron Chelates1

Year: 1978

Type: article

Abstract: Sodium ferric ethylene di (o-hydroxyphenylacetate) (FeEDDHA) increased Fe and reduced Mn concentration in leaves of ‘Fay Elberta’, ‘Shippers Late Red’ and ‘Redhaven'peach trees ( Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) and reduced Fe chlorosis and depressed the leaf Mn:Fe ratio. FeEDDHA increased Fe and reduced leaf Mn more than did equivalent amounts of sodium ferric ethylene bis (α-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylphenylacetate) (NaFe) and hydrogen ferric ethylene bis (α-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylphenylacetate) (HFe). FeEDDHA at 14 g of Fe per tree increased size and yield of ‘Redhaven'peaches. NaFe increased Fe and reduced Mn of the leaves and decreased Fe chlorosis of ‘Fay Elberta’ and ‘Shippers Late Red’ trees. HFe increased Fe and reduced Mn of the leaves and decreased Fe chlorosis of ‘Redhaven’ and ‘Fay Elberta’ trees. The treatments had no discernible effects on Zn concentration of the leaves or on shoot growth.
