Magnesium

Magnesium is also a macronutrient due the relatively high plant requirement for this mineral.

Magnesium is an important plant nutrient as it forms the core of the chlorophyll molecule, the substance present in all green plants which traps energy from the sun and converts it into useful forms of energy that the plant can utilise. Magnesium also has many other specific roles in plants such as controlling enzyme reactions, helping to maintain the chemical balance in cells and has important roles in protein synthesis.

Some crops such as potatoes and sugar beet are particularly sensitive to a Magnesium deficiency and other crops too often show the classic symptoms of chlorosis on the fully expanded leaves, particularly along the leaf veins.

Magnesium is available in many forms which differ enormously in the solubility, spreadability and availability. Because the Magnesium in Patentkali is readily water soluble, you can be sure that it is available for the crop immediately and does not need a low pH (acid conditions) to dissolve as some other forms of Magnesium require.
