e1“In soybean, chelated Fe applied to the soil before sowing increased the levels of active Fe (Fe2+) in leaves by up to 42% and dry matter of shoots by up to 46% early in the season”
e3“Soil Fe treatments did not affect leaf photosynthesis, although addition of chelated Fe to the soil resulted in greener leaves than in the control”
