      It is true that Fe availability is dictated by the soil redox potential and pH.. In soils that are aerobic/higher pH, Fe is readily oxidized, and is predominately in the form of insoluble ferric oxides. But many turfgrass species exudes natural chelating compounds (eg, phytosiderophores) that complex Fe and render the Fe available for plant uptake.
      Plant roots absorb iron from the soil solution most readily as (ferrous) Fe2+, but in some cases, also as (ferric) Fe3+ ions

    I always say, if it's not broke don't fix it! If the grass already dark green, leave it alone. Actually, you're supposed to do a soil test, to detect if they are any nutrient deficiencies in the soil before applying any additional chemicals to the lawn, because it may not need it. The before and after results of your lawn almost looks the same. I can't tell any difference! If there is a difference it's only marginal, not like as in night and day.

      I actually made a video about FloodJet vs AI vs Fan. The AI tips are more coarse than a fan tip but less coarse than a FloodJet. It’s kinda right in the sweet spot. This would’ve been ideal to do with a fan tip and maybe even a surfactant.

    • @jasonpakkala9015
      @jasonpakkala9015 Рік тому

      AI isn't necessarily more coarse. It depends on the nozzle sizes. Floodjet nozzles are great for fertilizer and normally have a much wider angle, like 110 degrees, which is more forgiving with overlap and height. AI nozzles are better for contact fungicides, like Daconil because the droplet is actually a bubble and explodes on contact creating better coverage. I was fortunate to see the results of flood/flat fan vs AI when Syngenta came on site for quality control research at a local golf course.

    I just got tall fescue sod, did fairly well and mowed it for the first time 2 weeks ago. Im going to mow it 3” instead of 4” this weekend. Summer is coming and i know i have to use iron to help it stay green (sorry for this long rant) i havent fertilized it, should i? I wanted to use iron.. which would be best for tall fescue? And when is the best time im assuming now since summer is basically here. And this epson salt? Never heard and when can i apply that and can i do it at the same time i use iron?

    • @TheLawnMentor

Data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency shows Ironite has - by a wide margin - the highest levels of arsenic of all fertilizer products surveyed. Ironite also contains lead. But neither ingredient is listed on the Ironite label. Both can build up in the soil.
      According to the Washington State Department of Health, “accidental ingestion of less than half a teaspoon of Ironite may be toxic to small children.” Arsenic is a known carcinogen and even small amounts of lead can harm a child’s ability to learn. Children can be exposed to lead and arsenic through skin contact with the soil after lawns and gardens are fertilized or by ingesting fertilizer on fertilized soil.
