Maxi Magna S (Magnesium Sulfate Fertilizer)

Maxi Magna S (Magnesium Sulfate Fertilizer)

Maxi Magna S (Magnesium Sulfate Fertilizer) is designed to correct or prevent magnesium deficiencies in all types of crops and soil conditions.

• The fertilizer is best used to prevent magnesium deficiencies before or during planting, however, it can also be used to correct growth problems during the growing season.
• Magnesium is mobile in plants, therefore correcting the deficiency as soon as possible will allow the plant to grow normally.

Maxi Magna S (Magnesium Sulfate Fertilizer) Features

• Active Ingredient: Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO4.7H₂O)

Why do I need magnesium sulphate fertilizer?

• Like all secondary nutrients, plants do not need large amounts of magnesium to thrive, but an absence of the nutrient will cause stunted growth.
• Magnesium is a key component of chlorophyll. Without magnesium, the plant cannot produce chlorophyll, which will cause photosynthesis to suffer.
• Magnesium also plays a role in the transfer and production of sugars, starches, fats, and oils within the plant. This means a lack of magnesium will cause starchy vegetables, sugary fruits, and oilseeds or nuts to lose their shape and flavor.

Warm notice!

• It is ideal to test the soil before planting and test tissue from the previous harvest to determine magnesium content and uptake.
• After testing, if you discover a magnesium deficiency, our Maxi Magna S can be easily applied to correct it quickly.

Role of magnesium

• Magnesium is the central core of the chlorophyll molecule in plant tissue. Thus, if it is deficient, the shortage of chlorophyll results in poor and stunted plant growth.
• Magnesium also helps to activate specific enzyme systems. Enzymes are complex substances that build, modify, or break down compounds as part of a plant’s normal metabolism.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Maxi Magna S?

Maxi Magna S is a fertilizer containing magnesium sulfate, designed to prevent or correct magnesium deficiencies in various crops and soil conditions.

What are the benefits of using Maxi Magna S?

• Prevents magnesium deficiencies in plants, leading to healthy growth and improved yields.
• Contributes to chlorophyll production, promoting healthy photosynthesis and overall plant health.
• Enhances the transfer and production of sugars, starches, fats, and oils, improving the quality and flavor of fruits, vegetables, and oilseeds.

When should I use Maxi Magna S?

• Ideally, use Maxi Magna S preventatively before or during planting to avoid deficiencies from the start.
• However, it can also be used during the growing season to correct existing magnesium deficiencies and promote recovery.

How does magnesium mobility in plants affect application?

Since magnesium moves within the plant, addressing a deficiency early allows the plant to utilize it throughout its system and recover faster.

What crops can benefit from Maxi Magna S?

Maxi Magna S is particularly suitable for orchids and vegetables (depending on soil conditions), but it can be beneficial for various other crops as well.

What are the key features of Maxi Magna S?

• Active ingredient: Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO4.7H₂O)
• Size: Granules ranging from 0.1-1mm (90% minimum)
• pH value: 4.5-6.5

What’s the composition of Maxi Magna S?

• Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO4.7H₂O): minimum 99.5%
• Magnesium Oxide (MgO): minimum 16.0%
• Sulfur (S): minimum 12.5%
• Other elements are present in very low quantities (chlorides, iron, heavy metals, arsenic, water soluble).

Do I always need to test my soil before using Maxi Magna S?

For optimal results, it’s recommended to:

• Conduct a soil test before planting to determine magnesium content.
• Analyze tissue samples from previous harvests to assess magnesium uptake by your plants.

Testing helps confirm a magnesium deficiency before applying Maxi Magna S.

What happens if my plants have a magnesium deficiency?

• Stunted growth is a common symptom.
• Plants might struggle with chlorophyll production, leading to poor photosynthesis.
• Starchy vegetables, sugary fruits, and oilseeds or nuts may lose their shape and flavor due to limitations in sugar, starch, fat, and oil production.

How can I apply Maxi Magna S?

The application method might vary depending on the specific situation. Always refer to the product instructions for detailed application guidelines.
