The artificial solution described by Dennis Hoagland in 1933, [1] known as Hoagland solution (0), has been modified several times, mainly to add ferric chelates to keep iron effectively in solution, [6] and to optimize the composition and concentration of other trace elements, some of which are not generally credited with a function in plant nutrition. [7]
If soil iron concentration is high, in spite of this it can become unavailable for absorption if soil pH is higher than 6.5. [1] Excess of elements such as manganese in the soil can interfere with plant iron uptake triggering iron deficiency. [2] Iron is needed to produce chlorophyll, hence its deficiency causes chlorosis.
Trunk injection or endotherapy also known as vegetative endotherapy, [1] [2] [3] is a method of target-precise application of pesticides, [4] [5] [6] plant resistance activators, [7] or fertilizers [8] into the xylem vascular tissue of a tree with the purpose of protecting the tree from pests, or to inject nutrients to correct for nutrient deficiencies.
Iron and ligand are absorbed separately by the plant roots whereby the highly stable ferric chelate is first reduced to the less stable ferrous chelate. [6] In horticulture, iron chelate is often referred to as 'sequestered iron' and is used as a plant tonic, often mixed with other nutrients and plant foods (e.g. seaweed).
Iron(III) chloride forms a 1:2 adduct with Lewis bases such as triphenylphosphine oxide; e.g., FeCl 3 (OP(C 6 H 5) 3) 2. The related 1:2 complex FeCl 3 (OEt 2) 2, where Et = C 2 H 5), has been crystallized from ether solution. [14] Iron(III) chloride also reacts with tetraethylammonium chloride to give the yellow salt of the tetrachloroferrate ...
The addition of ferric chloride, FeCl 3, to well water immediately after the well at the influent to the treatment plant creates ferric hydroxide, Fe(OH) 3, and hydrochloric acid, HCl. 3H 2 O + FeCl 3 → Fe(OH) 3 + 3HCl. Fe(OH) 3 in water is a strong adsorbent of arsenate, As(V), provided that the pH is low.
Plant nutrition is the study of the chemical elements and compounds necessary for plant growth and reproduction, plant metabolism and their external supply. In its absence the plant is unable to complete a normal life cycle, or that the element is part of some essential plant constituent or metabolite .
A famous reaction involves treatment with ferric salts, most commonly Iron(III) chloride, to give Prussian blue. In the reaction with Iron(III) chloride, producing Potassium chloride as a side-product: 3 K 4 [Fe(CN) 6] + 4 FeCl 3 → Fe 4 [Fe(CN) 6] 3 + 12 KCl With the composition Fe III 4 [Fe II 6]
