Magnesium oxide uses
MgO is commonly used as a supplement for magnesium deficient soils especially for crops such as citrus, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and grass pastures.As we know magnesium is a required element in plant photosynthesis. Magnesium Oxide offers an available source of magnesium for various fertilizer applications.
Magnesium Oxide as a Crop Nutrient Supplement
Seventeen nutrients have been identified as essential for plant growth. Without these nutrients, plants cannot complete their life cycles. Magnesium (Mg) is considered a “macronutrient” – those of the 17 nutrients required in relatively large quantities.
Soils where large amounts of potassium (K) have been applied, repeatedly, are low in magnesium. High application of potassium or ammonium fertilizers often heightens magnesium deficiency. High cations concentration interferes with Mg uptake. This interference generally does not occur where soils contain more exchangeable Mg than exchangeable K.
