USES FOR IRON SULPHATE It is used as a lawn conditioner,and is the active substance in many commercial moss killers. 1 Kg of Iron sulphate will treat 500 sq metres using a solution of between 1% (10g/L of water) and 3% (20g/L of water) - (apply at a rate of 5 sq m per litre). This will lead to greening up of grass and hardening of lawn against disease. Use of the product at dilution rates higher than 30g/L will result in blackening of moss. Application of ferrous sulphate to hard surfaces such as concrete should be avoided as rust-like staining will occur. No more than 3 applications per year should be carried out on the lawn. It is used a mordant for wool dyeing. Ferrous sulphate can also be used to stain concrete and some limestones and sandstones a yellowish rust colour. Woodworkers use ferrous sulfate solutions to color maple wood a silvery hue. In horticulture it is used for treating iron chlorosis (yellowing of folliage caused by iron deficiency). Although not as rapid-acting as iron chelate, its effects are longer-lasting. It can be mixed with compost and dug into to the soil to create a store which can last for years. N.B.
