Abstract


It has been recently discovered that iron chlorosis in fr and garden crops could be completely cured by the use of cer complex organic iron compounds known as "iron chelates". metallic elements in this complex form are referred to technicall being "chelated", or "sequestered " to denote the manner in wl the iron is combined with the organic fractions. 'Chelate' is a term derived from a Greek word meaning 'a claw'. These compounds combine with the metal in such a manner that the metal no longer exhibits the typical properties of the free compounds of the element (Bould, 1955, Allerton, 1955).
