@@TheLawnMentor what source? I do not see a source. 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 See McBride, M.B. 1994. Environmental chemistry of soils.

@jasonpakkala9015

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.

@@TheLawnMentor Ironite is a popular fertilizer sold to green up lawns and plants in home gardens, golf courses and athletic fields. 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.

I don't use liquids so I will continue using ironite.

@@TheLawnMentor Cost of a lawn sprayer and mess dealing with sprayers. You need to dedicate the sprayers too or clean them out real good. Admittedly, I am not a lawn fanatic. I do use a sprayer for applying glyphosate but I would not dare using it for anything else. I actually also use Weed B Gon spray: My 24 ounce pre-mixed container is going on 5 years now.

I can only use granular... now what?

Say whaaaaat? That don’t sound right

Not a huge difference in the green what type of grass is it.... Most of the you tubers only see super dark green dependant on there grass... I used rgs ect but if you really look at most other people's Lawns they look pretty much the same if u use the products or not

I have TTTF out front. The rate I used was conservative and you could for sure go a little higher! Maybe the camera didn’t show it but I for sure saw a difference in a MUCH shorter amount of time than ironite. Cheaper too.

Did not change much by my eyes

I see absolutely no difference

Do you have degree in chemistry or are you just reading labels and selling product?

Uh, just use DEF. Just iron is for noobs.

This is not appropriate for alkaline soil. Most of what we see on KZread are soils from back East. It's unfortunate people don't tell us where they live...at least a state or region; it would be insightful for the rest of the uninformed.

You’re completely wrong. I’m in southeast Michigan with alkaline soil myself. PH 7.2. The whole point of using chelated iron is to avoid the iron availability issues that come with high/low ph soils. It’s pretty unreasonable to expect people to reveal where they live in every KZread video you watch. Although, location is in the description of this very video so maybe you should check there first before you make comments like this

My soil pH is high (alkaline), and I asked lawn care community and learned that ASF helps. 1 lbs per 1000sq.ft per month. I am also applying ASF & Ferros SF every month. on top of that I also apply Citric acid too.

Not a thing wrong with Ironite, dude. Used it for years, no issues. Neighbors ask me why my yard is the greenest on our street. I will admit, what you are doing in this video works good. Just quit dissing Ironite.
