Abstract
A comparative study was carried out on the effectiveness of several commercial Fe‐compounds applied through the soil as well as via leaf spray, with a view to control the Fe‐chlorosis in Verna lemon trees directly grafted on sour orange rootstock, with a Salustiano orange tree as intermediate. The results obtained during 1985 confirm the conclusions of previous experiments: The most effective treatments were the leaf spray with Fe‐polyflavonoids, though it is interesting that Fe‐chelates applied to soil were also highly effective, as Fe leaf levels were higher than 100 ppm one month after treatments.
