MULTIPLEX RUBY FE (IRON FE EDTA - 12 %)
Available Offer
Multiplex Ruby Fe: The Ultimate Cure for Plant Iron Deficiency (Chlorosis)
Turn yellow leaves green fast! A premium Chelated Iron (Fe-EDTA 12%) fertilizer designed for rapid recovery and high yields.
Are your plants suffering from Iron Chlorosis (yellowing of young leaves while veins stay green)? This "Hidden Hunger" can devastate your harvest. Multiplex Ruby Fe provides 100% bio-available iron that bypasses soil lock-up, instantly restoring chlorophyll and energy production. Unlike cheap sulphates, this advanced EDTA Chelate is safe, effective, and won't burn your leaves.
Essential for Paddy nurseries, Sugarcane, Citrus, and Rose gardens.
[Image of iron deficiency chlorosis in plant leaves]Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Greening: Visible recovery within days. Iron restarts the chlorophyll factory, turning pale leaves dark green.
- ?️Chelation Technology: The EDTA "claw" protects iron from oxidizing (rusting) in the tank or on the leaf, ensuring 100% uptake.
- ⏳Stress Defense: Boosts antioxidant enzymes (Catalase/Peroxidase), helping plants fight heat and drought stress.
- ?️100% Soluble: Dissolves completely without residue. Perfect for spraying or drip irrigation without clogging nozzles.
- ?Safe on Leaves: Low salt index prevents "leaf scorch," unlike Ferrous Sulphate which can burn sensitive tissues.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Iron is the metabolic spark plug of the plant. Without it, energy production stops.
[Image of photosynthesis electron transport chain]- Chlorophyll Synthesis: Iron acts as a cofactor for enzymes that build chlorophyll. Ruby Fe provides the raw material to turn "albino" leaves green again.
- Electron Transport: It is crucial for Photosystem II and I. It moves electrons during photosynthesis to create ATP (Plant Energy).
- Nitrogen Fixation: In legumes (beans/peas), Iron is required for root nodules to fix atmospheric nitrogen into fertilizer.
Result: A high-energy, dark green plant that maximizes yield.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Symptom Cured |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Nursery Chlorosis (Seedling yellowing/mortality) |
| Sugarcane | "Ratoon Chlorosis" (Pale stripes on young leaves) |
| Citrus & Grapes | Interveinal Chlorosis on new flush |
| Rose & Ornamentals | Yellowing of new shoots (Common in alkaline soil) |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: The ideal dose is 0.5 g per Litre. Do not overdose, as EDTA can burn leaves in high heat.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Application Method | Dose (Per Litre) | Water (L / Acre) | Total Dose (Per Acre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray (Standard) | 0.5 g | 150 - 200 L | 75 g - 100 g | 0 |
| Drip / Fertigation | - | - | 500 g | 0 |
*PHI = 0 Days. Micronutrients are safe and leave no toxic residue.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as soon as you see yellowing on young leaves. Spray in the cool evening to avoid leaf burn.
- Adjuvants: ALWAYS use a wetting agent (like Multiplex Maxiwet) at 1ml/L. Waxy leaves (like onion/citrus) repel water; the wetter ensures the iron sticks and enters the leaf.
- Coverage: Spray the underside of leaves. The pores (stomata) are more numerous there, leading to faster uptake.
- pH Check: Ensure your spray tank water pH is between 5.5 and 6.5. If it is too alkaline (high pH), the EDTA may break down.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is this different from Ferrous Sulphate?
Ferrous Sulphate oxidizes (rusts) quickly and can burn leaves. Ruby Fe (EDTA) is protected by a "claw" molecule, making it 100% stable, safe, and twice as effective.
2. Can I apply it to the soil?
Yes, but only if your soil is acidic (pH < 6.5). In alkaline soils (high pH), the iron will get locked up. For alkaline soils, Foliar Spray is far superior and cheaper.
3. Can I mix it with other pesticides?
Yes, it is generally compatible. However, DO NOT mix with Copper fungicides or Lime Sulphur. Always do a "Jar Test" first.
4. Why 0.5 g/L? Can I use more?
Do not exceed 1 g/L. Iron EDTA is potent. High concentrations can cause spotting or scorching on leaves, especially in hot sun. 0.5 g/L is the proven safe dose.
5. My old leaves are yellow. Is this Iron deficiency?
No. Iron deficiency affects the NEW (young) leaves first. If old leaves are yellow, it is likely Nitrogen or Magnesium deficiency.
Safety & Disclaimer
Always read and follow the instructions on the official product label. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Use proper PPE while spraying.
