“…Enhancing availability of iron to plant results in an increase in photosynthesis and carbohydrate transportation in plant tissues, thereby increasing yield level [16]. Considerable yield enhancement with trunk injection of iron compounds was also reported by other researchers [6], [9], [13].…”

“…Injection into the trunk may convey adequate iron to the plant, regardless of high pH of a calcareous soil [5]. The considerable effects of iron trunk injection on increasing iron uptake and transportation in date palm have been found by others [9], [12], [17]. Meanwhile, there are some other reports that confirm enhancing Fe concentration of fruit trees as a result of deep placement of iron fertilizers in the soil [7], [18].…”

The effect of different iron fertilization methods on yield and some fruit quality parameters of the date-palm variety 'Piarom' was studied in a calcareous soil of Hormozgan Province in Iran. The trees were 12 years old and the treatments comprised of: 1-control, 2-surface placement of Fe-EDDHA in the soil with two levels, 3-deep placement of FeSO 4 in the soil (Chalkood method) with two levels, and 4-injection of FeSO 4 solution into the trunk of trees with four levels. The experiment was accomplished as a randomized complete blocks design with nine treatments and three replications during four years Injection of 25 grams of FeSO 4 into the trunk resulted in the highest yield, having considerable differences with the other treatments. The maximum concentration of iron, as well as the highest Brix index and reducing sugars content were obtained in trees injected with a solution of FeSO 4 , showing no significant differences between different levels of FeSO 4. Therefore, it can be concluded that trunk injection is a more efficient method for iron fertilization of date palms grown in calcareous soils. Moreover, the best injection level was 25 grams FeSO 4 tree-1. 

“…EDTA was shown to have a high binding constant for Cu, allowing its dissolution (Li et al 2018). Ghasemi-Fasaei et al (2005) reported that soil application of Fe-EDTA increased the content and concentration of Cu in chickpea significantly, whereas Abo-Rady et al (1987) found soil application of Fe-EDDHA had no significant effect on Cu concentration in the leaves of two different date varieties. EDTA has been reported to extract up to 40% of the total Cu in the soil, increasing bioavailability of Cu substantially (Kocialkowski et al 1999).…”

The low availability of micronutrients such as zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) and macronutrients (phosphorus (P), in particular) in calcareous soils adversely affects plants such as sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) that are highly sensitive to deficiencies of these elements. This study investigated the potential effects of different Fe chelates and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on nutrition and growth of sorghum plants growing in a low-fertility calcareous soil. A glasshouse experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with four PGPR treatments (Pseudomonas putida P159, Pseudomonas fluorescens T17-24, Bacillus subtilis P96, and an uninoculated control), and three Fe treatments (10 mg Fe kg −1 soil as Fe-EDDHA or Fe-EDTA, and no Fe application). Application of both Fe chelates (Fe-EDDHA and Fe-EDTA) increased plant dry weight, shoot content, and concentration of Zn and Cu (copper) compared with the control treatment; however, Fe-EDTAwas found to be more effective than Fe-EDDHA. Fe-EDTA significantly increased the concentration of Cu, Zn, and Mn (manganese) up to 74.7%, 40.3%, and 30.6% in the rhizosphere, respectively. The use of PGPR significantly increased plant growth as well as the content of Mn, Zn, Cu, and K (potassium) compared with the uninoculated plants. Overall, the Fe-EDTA chelate was more effective in increasing nutrient uptake and growth of sorghum plants than Fe-EDDHA because of its low chemical stability at high pH. Combined application of Fe-EDTA and PGPR strains provided the greatest growth and nutritional benefits to sorghum plants growing in the alkaline nutrient-deficient calcareous soil.

“…In this concern, injection Fe to date palm increased yield, fresh weight, fruit weight, fruit size, chemical characteristics and Fe in leaves than untreated or soil application treatment (Abo-Rady et al, 1987;Saleh, 2008;Abdi and Hedayat, 2010;Mohebi et al, 2010). Such results were also found with Shaaban (2009) on mango and Fikry et al (2016) on orange they found that trunk injected trees produced comparable higher yield of fruits with higher firmness, juice volume, TSS/acid ratio and Vit.…”

This experiment was conducted during 2014 and 2015 seasons in a Private Orchard at Hirriyat Resznah Village, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of different methods of fertilization with some minor elements (iron-Fe and boron-B) namely foliar application, trunk injection and soil application on yield and fruit quality of Samany date palm grown in clay soil under flood irrigation. Results indicated that date palm injection stem with Fe+B recorded the highest values of yield/palm, bunch weight, number of fruits/strand, average fruit weight, TSS, total and non reducing sugars and Vit. C content. The application of Fe + B in leaves axiles with abaxial bunch increased N, P contents and total protein in mature fruits in both seasons. Fe and B concentrations in fruits and pinnaes were the highest with the trees which sprayed Fe+B on bunch. Soil application with Fe+B was the superior treatment in increasing the contents of N, P, K and the concentration of Fe and B in roots of palm than other application method treatments. On the other hand, control treatment (untreated palms) recorded the highest values of total tannins in fruits and lowest values of all abovementioned traits in both seasons.
