Can You Over Apply Liquid Iron? An Experiment On My Buffalograss

I wanted to see if my Buffalograss parkway strip could handle an overapplication of liquid iron just to see how tough it was. I've applied liquid chelated iron to my lawn before but never to Buffalograss, which is well known to be a naturally lighter shade of green.

For this experiment, I used a product called Iron Boost which is labeled as a 15-0-0 product that also contained 6% liquid iron.

I applied it to the lawn as if I was fertilizing with Nitrogen rather than supplementing with Iron.

This resulted in a fairly normal application of Nitrogen, approximately 0.38 lbs per 1k sqft, but it also ended up overapplying the Fe application by about 5-times.
