First get a soil test.  Putting fertilizer and elements such as iron without knowing what is needed can have unwanted effects.  Another issue is that Nitrogen is very mobile in the soil.  With all the rain we have had most of it may have washed through the soil.  If you think you may have a disease review the second website to find out what to look for.
