Docto-Fer

Docto-Fer is produced under the strict quality assurance of Doktor Tarsa. Every product offered is fully compliant with the European Union Fertilizer Regulation standards. Doktor Tarsa holds the TS EN ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System Certificate and adheres to international quality criteria. Docto-Fer plays a vital role in plant physiology, as iron is an essential component of many plant enzymes. It is found in chloroplasts and plays a key role in the photosynthesis process. Iron is crucial for chlorophyll synthesis, which is necessary for capturing sunlight and enabling energy conversion in plants.

Docto-Fer

High-Efficiency Iron Chelate for Sustainable Crop Health

Docto-Fer is a premium iron supplement developed under Doktor Tarsa’s strict quality assurance system, and it complies with the European Union Fertilizer Regulations. Certified by TS EN ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System, it meets international standards to ensure consistent product quality and effectiveness in crop nutrition.

Why Iron is Essential for Plants

Iron (Fe) plays a crucial role in the metabolic processes of plants, particularly in chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthesis. It is a vital component of many plant enzymes and is mostly concentrated in the chloroplasts, where energy conversion takes place.


Iron Deficiency in Soil

Although iron is often abundant in soil, the bioavailable portion that plants can absorb is usually low, especially in neutral to alkaline soils.
Deficiency becomes more severe in soils with:

  • Excess lime (Ca)

  • High manganese levels (Mn)

  • Heavy metal accumulation
    These conditions interfere with iron uptake, often causing visible symptoms in plants.


Iron Deficiency Symptoms

Because iron is immobile in plants, deficiency symptoms appear first on young leaves, showing as interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between green veins). In cereals, deficiency is seen as yellow and green longitudinal stripes along the leaf.


Crops Most Sensitive to Iron Deficiency

  • Fruit trees: apple, pear, peach, plum

  • Citrus fruits

  • Vegetables and field crops

  • Ornamentals and flowering plants

Recommended Application Rates

Crop Dosage
Young saplings 10 – 20 g / tree
Early-fruiting trees 20 – 50 g / tree
Mature trees (normal yield) 80 – 100 g / tree
Mature trees (high yield) 100 – 150 g / tree
Citrus (large trees) 100 – 150 g / tree
Vineyards (per vine) 10 – 20 g
Ornamentals (roses, carnations, etc.) 500 g / da
Annual/Perennial flowers (chrysanthemum, gerbera) 600 g / da
Strawberries, raspberries (per 100 m row) 500 – 1000 g
Vegetables (open field or greenhouse) 250 – 350 g / da
Field crops 250 – 350 g / da

Application Method:
Docto-Fer should be applied directly to the soil. Dig a circular trench (15–20 cm deep) around the canopy projection of the tree. Apply the recommended dosage into the trench, then cover with soil and irrigate thoroughly.

For faster absorption, the product can be dissolved in water and poured into the trench before covering with soil. It is absorbed through the roots and transported to all parts of the plant.

When using drip irrigation systems, mix 250 g of Docto-Fer per decare (1,000 m²) with irrigation water and apply through the system.
