Iron is immobile in plants; this means that plants cannot give up iron from older leaves to new ones. That is why deficiency symptoms first appear on new or young leaves. Because plants use iron to produce chlorophyll, a lack of iron leads to chlorosis or yellowing of the younger leaves. Stems can also appear short and slender. If the shortage is severe and long-lasting, each new leaf will have a lighter color than the previous leaf.

propel ™ is a concentrated (10,000 mg / l) source of ferrous iron. This iron is a mixture of easily available and time-consuming iron.

If iron is supplied in the ferric form (Fe3 +), it must be reduced by the plant to the ferrous form (Fe2 +) before it can be used. This process of conversion (known as reduction) requires the plant to consume physiological energy. propel ™ already supplies iron in the ferrous form, which improves the use of iron. Propel ™ also contains a reducing agent that helps to convert any iron present (such as iron from substrate) into the ferrous form.
