4 ppm as deficient.\u00a0 As there are no economical sources of soil-applied Fe available, the only options for correcting immediate Fe deficiencies are foliar Fe sprays in-season.\u00a0 If iron chlorosis has been observed during previous years in a field, iron fertilizer materials may be applied preemptively to the foliage through multiple sprayings early in the season.\u00a0 Table 1 gives suggested foliar treatments to correct iron.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Sorghums and Iron Deficiency<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Grain sorghum and sorghum family forages are by far the most likely Texas crop to encounter iron deficiency.\u00a0 Among forages, hybrid pearl millet can be substituted for grain sorghum as HPM has different iron uptake mechanism.\u00a0 It can grow well on moderately alkaline, high pH soils were iron would limit sorghums.\u00a0 For further information<\/strong> about iron in grain sorghum consult \u2018Correcting Iron Deficiencies in Grain Sorghum\u2019 L-5155<strong>,<\/strong> from Texas A&amp;M AgriLife Extension, <a href=\"http:\/\/publications.tamu.edu\/\">http:\/\/publications.tamu.edu\/<\/a> (see the \u2018Corn &amp;
