That's extremely interesting Paul. Thank you for sharing this information
with us. In light of all of this, I think it was a pity that ABC Catalyst
only touched on one aspect of iron fertilisation. In retrospect, it would
have been nice to have had a whole program (a Catalyst special) devoted to
this topic.

I was wondering the same thing, and found this Wikipedia page with the
current
