Abstract
Abstract Iron chelates useful for supplying iron to plants growing in calcareous iron deficient soil are prepared by admixing an iron(II) or iron(III) compound with a compound formed by reacting a slat of an Alpha -amino acid having the formula H2NC(Z)HCOOH wherein Z is hydrogen, a lower alkyl group, a phenyl group, an aralkyl group having 7-10 carbon atoms, an alkaryl group having 7-10 carbon atoms, or a cycloalkyl group having 3-8 carbon atoms with formaldehyde and a phenol having the formula X-C6H4-OH where X is -SO3M, -COOM, or an alkyl group having about 1-4 carbon atoms, and M is a member selected from a second group consisting of an alkali metal cation, HN *(CH2CH2OH)3, and A, wherein A is one half of an alkaline earth metal cation.
