LIBREL® FE-LO

Librel® Fe-LO is a yellow/green crystalline powder.

General Information

Librel® Fe-LO should be dissolved in a convenient volume of water to suit the spraying machine being used and the target crop leaf area. The following points should be observed:
1. The sprayer should be fitted with nozzles that produce a fine mist.
2. Only sufficient spray solution should be applied to coat the leaves and stems with a film of moisture with little or no "run off”.
3. Spraying should be carried out on a calm day but not during strong sunshine or high temperatures. The best time is late afternoon or evening.
4. If rain is imminent, spraying should be postponed. If rain falls within 4 hours of spraying, the crop should be re-sprayed 3 or 4 days later. Do not exceed a solution of 0.1% (1 g/L) for any one or combination of Librel® chelates. Some fruit varieties and cultivars can exhibit unpredictable sensitivity to EDTA chelates. Where local experience of successful use is not available, we strongly recommend small scale test applications before wide spread use.

Fruit Crops

Do not exceed a solution of 0.1% (1 g/L) for any one or combination of Librel® chelates. Some fruit varieties and cultivars can exhibit unpredictable sensitivity to EDTA chelates. Where local experience of successful use is not available, we strongly recommend small scale test applications before wide spread use.

Rates of Use

Water Volume

The amount of Librel® Fe-LO to be applied should be mixed with a volume ofmwater appropriate to the crop leaf area of the type of spraying machine being used.
Arable crops:200-600 liters per hectare.
Fruit crops:500-1000 liters per hectare.
NB:Do not exceed a solution concentration of 0.1% (1 g/L).

Wetting Agents
Unless Librel® Fe-LO is to be applied with a pesticide containing sufficient wetter, then a standard, agricultural non-ionic wetting agent should be used as recommended by the manufacturer.

Small Scale Use

For example using a Knapsack sprayer. Prepare a 0.05 -0.1% (0.5-1.0 g/L) solution and apply so as to coat the leaves and stems with a thin film of moisture with little or no run-off.

General Information

The appropriate amount of Librel® Fe-LO should be dissolved in a convenient volume of water to suit the application equipment and to ensure even ground coverage.

General Crops

Apply as a coarse low-pressure spray immediately before the last cultivation prior to sowing or planting. Where crops are established, apply between the rows.

Perennial Crops

Apply as a course low-pressure spray in a wide circular band under the limit of the full branch spread. For best results, nutrients should be in the root zone before seasonal growth begins and this can be achieved by appropriate application timing.

Rate of Use

Apply 1.5-6.0 kg/ha depending on the degree of deficiency, crop size etc.

Rate of Use

1 ppm (17.86 μmol/l) iron can be achieved by adding 7.5 grams of Librel® Fe-LO per 1000 liters of solution.

The following graph shows the particle size distribution curve for Librel® Fe-LO using Sympatec Helos H1594 Gradis System with an R7 lens:

• LibrelⓇ Fe-LO should be stored indoors in a dry place.
• Care must be taken to exclude moisture. Drums/bags/boxes must be tightly resealed each time they are opened.
• Librel® Fe-LO can be prone to small lumps forming on storage. These lumps break down readily when pressure is applied. Lump formation is not a loss of quality or performance.
• Big bags are not to be stacked during storage in order to prevent lumping/agglomeration due to weight compression

Containers made of the following materials are appropriate for the storage of Librel® Fe-LO:

• High density polyethylene (HDPE)
• Low density polyethylene (LDPE) Polypropylene (PP).
• Polypropylene (PP)

Librel® Fe-LO has a shelf life of at least four years in its original packaging, provided it is stored correctly and drums/bags are kept tightly sealed.
