Key Crops: Dairy Pasture, Irrigated Pasture, Dryland Pasture, Horticulture and Sugarcane.
Unlock the wealth in your soil: K-mag is a unique package containing potassium, sulphur and magnesium in sulphate form. It is a naturally occurring crystalline mineral that provides a sustained release of nutrients for your crops and pastures.
The importance of potassium: Plants require large quantities of potassium for vigorous, healthy growth. This is because potassium plays a vital role in photosynthesis, enzyme production, sugar transport and water uptake and retention.
The importance of magnesium: Magnesium plays an important role in the manufacture of chlorophyll (the green pigment in all plants). Magnesium also plays a part in phosphorus transport within the plant itself.
The benefits of sustained release: Trials have shown that the unique combination of potassium, sulphur and magnesium in K-mag is released to plants over an extended period. The sustained release keeps potassium, sulphur and magnesium available to the plant throughout the growing season, resulting in healthier plants and bigger yields.
Solubility: The K-mag granule size and unique combination of potassium, sulphur and magnesium lengthens the release period of these essential nutrients. Traditional sources of these elements are generally more soluble and can leach more rapidly.
Water use efficiency: Having the right levels of potassium can improve water use efficiency by decreasing the water lost from the plant by evapo-transpiration. Potassium helps the stomata on the plant leaves to close in hot dry weather keeping the water inside the plant.
