Iron deficiency in crop soil is a widespread issue that impacts plant metabolism and chlorophyll
synthesis, leading to premature leaf drop and smaller fruits.
This problem arises from soil conditions such as porosity and a pH level above 7, with the main
symptom being leaf yellowing. While solutions exist in the market, they are expensive and difficult to
implement on a large scale.
However, this fertilizer utilizes Pseudomonas sp. ABC1, capable of producing pyoverdine
siderophores on a larger scale. This vegetative promoting bacteria effectively addresses iron chlorosis
in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner.
