“…The foliar application of chelates can be less efficient than soil application, due to limited uptake by aerial parts (Legaz et al, 1992), but the results obtained by suggest that leaves of field-grown kiwi were able to reduce the Fe (III) from diethylenetrianinepentaacetic acid (DPTA) and take it up into mesophyll cells. This is also true for citrus (orange and tangerine) since the recovery from iron chlorosis symptoms was obtained after frequent foliar sprays with Fe (III) from Fe-EDDHA (Pestana, 2000;Pestana et al, 2002;Pestana et al, 2001a;Pestana et al, 1999).…”

“…The foliar application of Fe (II) sulphate increased leaf chlorophyll content in kiwi and citrus (Hamzé et al, 1985;Horesh and Levy, 1981;Miller et al, 1994;Pestana et al, 2002;Pestana et al, 2001a;Pestana et al, 1999). Though this treatment can improve fruit size and quality, as observed in orange (Pestana et al, 2002;Pestana et al, 2001a;Pestana et al, 1999), the positive effects obtained on leaf chlorophyll content did not always translate into increased yield, because the translocation of the applied iron into developing new leaves or fruits can be small (Legaz et al, 1992).…”

“…Several authors tested foliar applications of iron chelates to plants such as orange (El-Kassa, 1984;Legaz et al, 1992;Pestana et al, 2002;Pestana et al, 2001a), tangerine (Pestana et al, 1999); grape (Cuesta et al, 1993), and kiwi Rombolà et al, 1998b;Tagliavini et al, 2000). The foliar application of chelates can be less efficient than soil application, due to limited uptake by aerial parts (Legaz et al, 1992), but the results obtained by suggest that leaves of field-grown kiwi were able to reduce the Fe (III) from diethylenetrianinepentaacetic acid (DPTA) and take it up into mesophyll cells.…”

“…Moreover, the fact that citrus fruits are non-climacteric fruits, the iron de fi ciency may adversely affect both the harvest date as well as the storage of fruits . A fi eld experiment showed that tangerines and orange fruits of Fe-de fi cient trees, besides being smaller, had lower fresh weight and total juice content (Pestana et al 1999(Pestana et al , 2002 .…”

Iron is essential for plants nutrition, being required in small but in critical concentrations for plant growth and crop productivity. Despite total iron content in soils is much higher than that required by plants, soil iron bioavailability is low, particularly in calcareous soils. For this, many agricultural crops worldwide growing in semiarid climates and calcareous soils suffer from iron de fi ciency (iron chlorosis or lime-induced chlorosis). In this sense, chlorotic leaves may contain as much or more total iron than healthy leaves of the same age ( chlorosis paradox ). In this chapter, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the leaf visual rating of chlorosis, fl oral mineral analysis and leaf active iron for diagnosing citrus iron nutritional status. The effect of iron chlorosis on yield and physical and chemical characteristics of citrus fruits was also reviewed. We analyse the metabolic response of citrus to iron de fi ciency, paying special attention to the inducible mechanisms developed under low-iron stress and to the metabolic changes able to be used to evaluate the iron de fi ciency. Finally, we reviewed the bioactive compounds in the citrus fruits, paying special attention to the fact that iron de fi ciency enhances phenolics and, as a consequence, health-promoting effects of the fruits for the human body.
