Although not as rapid-acting as iron chelate, its effects are longer-lasting. It can be mixed with compost and dug into the soil to create a store which can last for years. Ferrous sulfate is sometimes added to the cooling water flowing through the brass tubes of a turbine condenser. It forms a corrosion-resistant, protective coating inside the tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is used as a traditional method of treating wood panels on houses, either alone dissolved in water or as a component of water-based paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTreatment Application Rates for Lawns\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication rates can vary greatly depending on the desired effect and the specific lawn.

If this does not give the desired effect, you can use a stronger solution, up to a maximum of 15% Ferrous Sulphate Heptahydrate (150mls\/1L of water).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA typical application for greening of grass would be 30 ml-60 ml per Litre.  Be aware that at dilutions of 150 mL per Litre, blackening of moss will occur.  For this reason, Ferrous Sulfate is often included as an active ingredient in commercial lawn moss-killing products.  Over-application could also blacken the grass itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe suggested application rate for Ferrous Sulphate solutions is about 5 sq m per Litre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease be aware that Ferrous Sulphate solution will cause staining if spilt or applied to hard surfaces such as concrete.  These brownish stains are effectively a form of rust, and to remove them one will need to use an acid solution like Oxalic acid (used as a 5% solution).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen treating lawns with ferrous sulphate, keep pets off the surface for at least one week. This protects their well-being and prevents residue transfer onto hard surfaces (i.e. brown staining).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor application on agricultural pasture land\/paddocks etc use at the same rates as above. Animals like horses must be kept off grasslands for at least 4 weeks before being allowed back to graze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn overuse of Ferrous Sulphate can be harmful if the land being applied to has a low pH (Acidic), as Ferrous Sulphate is naturally acidic with a pH of 2.5. We also recommend treating the entire lawn rather than specific areas to prevent some patches from becoming more acidic than others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: This information is a guideline and is provided in good faith.

This should be dug into a depth of 6 to 10 inches. As the ferrous sulphate is biologically degraded, acidification occurs over several months, so the process is gradual. To avoid building up too much iron in the soil, wait 12 months before testing the pH again and repeating the process if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHealth \u0026amp; Safety\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR-Phrases: R22 Harmful if swallowed.
