Description
Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate
Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO₄) is a versatile fertilizer, commonly known as Epsom salt, that provides two essential secondary macronutrients: magnesium and sulfur. It is highly soluble in water, making it a fast and effective solution for correcting nutrient deficiencies in plants.
Dosage
- Foliar Spray: This method is highly effective for a quick correction of nutrient deficiencies.
- Concentration: A common ratio is 5-10 grams of Magnesium Sulphate per liter of water.
- Application Rate: For a larger area, a rate of 2-3 kg per hectare per spray is often recommended.
- Frequency: Apply 2-4 sprays per crop cycle, with a 10-15 day interval between applications. Apply in the early morning or late evening to avoid leaf burn.
Things to Consider
Nutrient composition
Check the specific nutrients included in the ammonium sulphate and verify it aligns with your plants' needs. Some popular micronutrients in these blends include Nitrogen and Sulphur.
Application rates
Always follow the instructions on the product label for proper dilution and application frequency to avoid overfertilization.
Plant compatibility
Certain plants might be sensitive to specific nutrients. Research the appropriate blends for your plant types.
Soil testing
While helpful, Fertilizers might not address underlying soil deficiencies. Consider soil testing to determine specific nutrient needs for targeted solutions.
