> Significantly increased iron and chlorophyll concentrations in the leaves and 
> also increased potato yield.

A field experiment was conducted in an iron deficient soil to investigate the effect
of foliar application of Iron on the growth of potato. Results indicated that foliar
application of iron significantly increased iron and chlorophyll concentrations 
in the leaves and also increased potato yield. No significant difference in iron
concentration and potato yield was observed among various iron sources. However,
there as a significant difference in chlorophyll concentrations among the various
iron treatments.
