Yokuchi Gen Fe Liquid Iron Fertiliser is a preparation based on organic compounds of iron II valence, offering excellent stability and very high bioavailability. Gen Fe significantly enhances red and orange colours by supporting the synthesis of anthocyanins and carotenoids. Its modern formula allows for dosing during lighting, but the best results are achieved when the lights are off.

Iron is classified as a trace element and is absorbed by plants as the Fe2+ ion. Iron is essential for chlorophyll synthesis, is a component of some proteins, and also participates in cellular respiration. Iron is considered an intermediate element in terms of mobility. Symptoms of iron deficiency first appear on young leaves, but over time, they can also affect older leaves.

Iron deficiency. How to recognise it?

This leads to a fading of the green colour of the stem and leaves. Long-term symptoms of iron deficiency include necrosis of new leaves (black spots and holes), which will also cause them to become stunted. Iron deficiency symptoms will first become visible on rapidly growing plants.
