Could molasses be used as a foliar spray to treat Iron Chlorosis? Is the iron in it sufficient? Or is there some way to add iron to it?

It can't hurt to try. You can use it as a soil drench as well. You need to find out what is causing your Iron Chlorosis. Alkaline soils (PH above 7.0) or decomposing organic matter in alkaline soil can cause iron deficiency. Poor drainage can be another cause.
