Whether we are growing vegetables or fruits, we all need to fertilize plants. Magnesium fertilizer is also one of many fertilizers and has an irreplaceable role. So, what are the functions of magnesium fertilizer and what should be paid attention to when using magnesium fertilizer?

Magnesium Fertilizer

The role and efficacy of magnesium fertilizer are mainly reflected in three aspects. First, it can promote the better synthesis of chlorophyll. After the magnesium atom is combined with the chlorophyll molecule, it has the necessary structure to absorb light quantum. The second is to promote protein synthesis, magnesium is necessary for polysomes. The third is the activation of enzymes. Magnesium is more effective than other ions in activating phosphokinases.

Precautions for the use of magnesium fertilizer

Magnesium fertilizer can be directly used as base fertilizer, top dressing and foliar fertilizer. For example, calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer and magnesium ammonium phosphate, which is slightly soluble in water, can be used as basal fertilizer application; the use of magnesium fertilizer for top dressing needs to be applied early, and it can be applied in furrow or flushed with water. It can also be used for foliar spraying of crops. It is mainly used for magnesium deficiency symptoms caused by root system obstacles in fruit trees, nightshade, vegetables and legumes. The effect of foliar spraying is not long-lasting spray.
