What is Magnisal?
Magnisal fertilizer (Magnesium Nitrate – (Mg(NO3)2 . 6H2O) is a soluble, pure and crystal fertilizer that is very effective for covering magnesium deficiencies in plants. It contains 15% MgO (9.5% Mg) and 11% nitrogen originating from nitrate. As nitrate facilitates absorption of magnesium, Magnisal is a good magnesium transporter. As it is soluble in water, it can be applied via leaves and very suitable for other nutrients. It can be given together with other substances that are given via leaves.
Physical properties of Magnisal are given below:
• Density: 0,67 g/cm3 • Solubility: 720 grams (in 1 liter of water)
• EC (grams/liter water): 1,0-1,2 (mS/cm)
• Mixtures: May not be mixed with fertilizers with phosphorous content.
• Moisture: Pretty high.
• Storage: May be stored without any limitations for time.
Where is it used?
Magnesium is essential element of chlorophyll that gives the green color of plants; therefore it has utmost importance in production of chlorophyll. Magnesium ions are utilized in protein synthesis, enzymatic reactions and production of vitamins. Magnesium deficiency causes the below given symptoms: Initial symptoms start with loss of green color in old leaves.
This is followed with yellowing seen between veins. In certain plants spots are seen in magnesium deficiency. When there is a high level of magnesium deficiency leaves turn their color to reddish purple. In time green parts get lost. The first symptoms of magnesium deficiency are seen in old leaves.
