Iron(II) heptahydrate, dried is used as a raw material for the production of iron pigments, especially black and red iron oxide, in addition to fertilizers to enhance the iron content and the control of plant chlorosis. It can also be used as an additive to peat.
Iron (II)sulphate is an effective moss killer. It stimulates the immune system strengthening the plant and thereby prevents diseases grasses. It is also used as an element reducing chromium in cement.
