Magnesium Sulphate

Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is a highly soluble and plant-available source of two essential secondary nutrients—magnesium and sulfur. It plays a vital role in photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and protein synthesis. Magnesium is the central atom in the chlorophyll molecule and is indispensable for energy transfer within plants. Sulfur is essential for amino acid and vitamin formation.

Magnesium Sulphate is environmentally safe, easy to apply, and compatible with most fertilizers and crop protection products. It is suitable for foliar spraying, fertigation, and direct soil application, making it a versatile tool for both conventional and organic farming systems.

Description

Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is a highly soluble and plant-available source of two essential secondary nutrients—magnesium and sulfur. It plays a vital role in photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and protein synthesis. Magnesium is the central atom in the chlorophyll molecule and is indispensable for energy transfer within plants. Sulfur is essential for amino acid and vitamin formation.

This compound is widely recognized not only as a secondary nutrient source but also as a micronutrients carrier that enhances the uptake and function of other nutrients in plant systems. Its ability to correct magnesium deficiencies quickly makes it an essential input for high-value crops like fruits, vegetables, pulses, cereals, oilseeds, and ornamentals.

Benefits
  • Corrects Magnesium Deficiency:
    Essential for crops grown in magnesium-deficient soils, it prevents interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between leaf veins) and promotes greener, healthier leaves.

  • Vital for Chlorophyll Formation:
    Magnesium is the core element of the chlorophyll molecule, making it crucial for efficient photosynthesis.

  • Improves Crop Metabolism:
    Facilitates enzyme activation and energy transfer processes within plant cells, supporting vigorous growth and productivity.

  • Enhances Nutrient Uptake Efficiency:
    Supports better absorption and mobility of macronutrients (N, P, K) and other micronutrients, optimizing overall plant nutrition.

  • Supports Sulfur Functions:
    Sulfur is key for amino acid synthesis (cysteine, methionine) and vital in the production of plant proteins and oils.

  • Boosts Yield and Quality:
    Improves fruit set, sugar content, color, and storage life of produce, particularly in crops like tomatoes, grapes, and citrus.

  • Safe and Environmentally Friendly:
    Non-toxic, non-residual, and does not harm beneficial soil organisms or pollinators.

Application

1. Foliar Spray:

  • Dosage: 5–10 g per liter of water

  • Frequency: Apply 2–3 times at 10–15 day intervals

  • Timing: Best applied in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid leaf burn

2. Soil Application:

  • Dosage: 25–50 kg per hectare (adjust based on soil test)

  • Method: Broadcast or band application near root zone for optimal absorption

3. Fertigation:

  • Dosage: 5–10 kg per acre depending on crop stage

  • Compatibility: Compatible with most water-soluble fertilizers; avoid mixing with calcium-based products in the same tank

Time
  • Early Growth Stages: Magnesium Sulphate enhances root and vegetative development

  • Pre-Flowering & Fruiting: Ensures adequate magnesium and sulfur supply during high nutrient demand

  • Corrective Use: Apply Magnesium Sulphate whenever deficiency symptoms appear (yellowing, stunted growth, poor leaf formation)

Suitable for year-round application across various growth stages, especially critical during flowering and fruiting periods.

Precaution
  • Do not exceed recommended dosage to avoid nutrient imbalance.

  • Avoid mixing with calcium nitrate or products with high calcium content in the same tank mix.

  • Always perform a jar test before tank-mixing with other agrochemicals.

  • Use clean, filtered water for foliar applications to prevent nozzle clogging.

  • Store Magnesium Sulphate in a cool, dry, and shaded area, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Shelf Life
  • 24 months (2 years) from the date of manufacture when stored properly.

  • Product remains stable and effective under recommended storage conditions.
