Nano- and Pheroid technologies for development of foliar iron fertilizers and iron biofortification of soybean grown in South Africa

Abstract Background Foliar iron (Fe) fertilization of crops may increase Fe concentrations in edible portions of plants and improve yield in soils with low available Fe. However, the role of foliar Fe fertilization in increasing seed Fe has not been studied in soybeans (Glycine max). In this study,...
