Why Use Magnesium Oxide?

Magnesium Oxide is a cost effective-form of fast acting Magnesium.  Magnesium Oxide should be considered when there is a large immediate requirement for magnesium in crops and pasture.

The Benefits of Magnesium Oxide:

  • Granulated allowing it to be precision blended with most other fertilisers.
  • Cost effective form of magnesium.
  • Quickly overcome magnesium deficiencies.
  • No major impact on pH, therefore can be applied to all types of soil regardless of the pH.
  • Fully water soluble, readily dissolved by soil moisture to meet nutrient demands.

When to Use

Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring

Precautions

Avoid application before large amounts of rainfall (40ml plus within 10 hours) to reduce any leaching. In areas of high rainfall split applications are recommended.

Magnesium’s Role in Plants

  • Critical for both plant and animal growth, with deficiencies noticed in the animal before the plant.
  • Assists in plant defence processes against abiotic stresses.
  • Magnesium is the central core of the chlorophyll molecule – therefore its presence is vital for photosynthesis.
  • Low levels of plant intake can lead to hypomagnesemia in livestock, especially during the winter/early spring months.
  • Magnesium is very mobile in the plant and aids in numerous plant processes such as enzyme activation and phosphate metabolism, as it acts as a phosphorus carrier.
  • Magnesium and calcium working in synergy to promote stable soil structure.
