Losses over 18 weeks of iron (Fe) in leachates from several peats and wood wastes that had been amended with ferrous sulfate (FeSO4.7H2O) were generally less than 1% of the total Fe in the material. Increasing additions of Fe either had little effect on Fe losses in leachates or lowered them, mainly through a lowering in the concentration of Fe-organic complexes in leachates. DTPA-extractable Fe in wood wastes did not decline with leaching but there were some reductions in peats. The data suggest that a single pre-plant addition of 0.75-1.0 g/L FeSO4.7H2O would supply enough Fe for at least six months of plant growth in media based on peat with a low native Fe content.
