Regreening properties of the soil slow-mobile H₂bpcd/Fe³⁺ complex: Steps forward to the development of a new environmentally friendly Fe fertilizer.

ABSTRACT: The application of synthetic Fe-chelates stands for the most established agronomical practice to alleviate lime-induced chlorosis, which still constitutes a major agronomic problem. However, the percolation through the soil profile due to the negative charge of the most deployed molecules results in agronomical and environmental problems. H₂bpcd/Fe³⁺ complex features distinctive chemical characteristics, including moderate stability of the Fe(bpcd)⁺ species (logβ _ML = 20.86) and a total positive charge, and we studied its behavior in soil and regreening effects on cucumber plants. Soil column experiments have underlined that H₂bpcd/Fe³⁺ is retained in more amounts than EDDHA/Fe³⁺. The new ligand was
