Magensium sulfate application

Magnesium sulphate fertilizer application:

Magnesium sulfate fertilizer is a medium to trace element fertilizer that contains abundant

magnesium and sulfur elements.Magensium is the fourth most important element after nitrogen,

phosphorus and potassium. Europe attaches great importance to the application of magnesium

fertilizer, followed by Southeast Asia and North America. The three regions account for more than

70% of global magnesium fertilizer consumption.

There are many grades of Magnesium sulfate, they can used for food, feed, paper making,

water treatment, however, 80% are as agriculture fertilizer usage.

If a plant lacks magnesium, the first manifestation is yellowing and withering of the leaves,

 

leading to incomplete photosynthesis and even plant death.
