Iron is a vital micronutrient for plants, essential for photosynthesis, respiration, and various metabolic processes. Despite its abundance in the soil, iron often exists in insoluble forms, particularly in calcareous soils, making it difficult for plants to absorb. This limited availability can severely impact crop yields and plant health. Iron is a vital micronutrient for plants, essential for photosynthesis, respiration, and various metabolic processes.
