Abstract

Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] suffers from iron chlorosis when grown in calcareous soils due to low iron availability. Traditionally, foliar and soil application of ferrous sulfate, Fe-EDTA, Fe-EDDHA chelates, etc. are adopted as corrective measures of chlorosis. Nano-fertilizer, bioremediation, and transgenic breeding approaches open innovative line of chlorosis correction. The chapter is structured to prepare a summary of the iron chlorosis: causes, detection techniques, management approaches, and future line of research. Iron fixation in calcareous soil, iron uptake by plant, advance detection techniques, and correction measures of chlorosis were explored. The significance of bioremediation and nano-fertilizers is also identified. Microbe-mediated correction measures and nano-fertilizer application are some of the eco-friendly options. Though, further research is needed in microbe-mediated correction measures and nano-fertilizer application, there is a line of research to develop Fe defficiency tolerant rootstocks through transgenic approach. These techniques will be quite useful in lowering the dependency on synthetic chemical and make better eco-friendly options for management of chlorosis in peach, as long-term solution.
