Potassium magnesium sulfate fertilizer is a multi-element potassium fertilizer. Besides potassium, sulfur and magnesium, it also contains calcium, silicon, boron, iron, zinc and other elements. It is weakly alkaline and is especially suitable for application to acidic soil. It is generally used as a base fertilizer, and can also be used as a top dressing. It is suitable for crops such as rice, corn, sugarcane, peanut, tobacco, potato, sugar beet, fruit, vegetables and alfalfa. Compared with single-element potassium fertilizers such as potassium chloride and potassium sulfate at the same potassium rate (K2O), the application effect of agricultural potassium magnesium sulfate is better than that of potassium chloride and slightly better than that of potassium sulfate.
Magnesium sulfate fertilizer is one of the series products of multi-element potassium sulfate. It is a very important fertilizer. It not only provides plants with magnesium and sulfur elements but also loosens the soil, promotes the growth and development of plant leaves, branches and root systems, and makes the plant root system extensive. At the same time, it can prompt plants to absorb nitrogen, phosphorus and other elements in the soil more quickly and increase the plants' ability to resist disease. It is called the "nutrient agent for plant growth and high yield". Plants cannot grow normally when deficient in magnesium, so magnesium must be supplemented in time to raise productivity and agricultural yield. The magnesium element is an important component of chlorophyll, is indispensable for photosynthesis, is an activator of many enzymes, and can promote the metabolism of carbohydrates, the synthesis of nucleic acids, the transformation of phosphates, and so on.
Potassium magnesium sulfate fertilizer is a natural mineral fertilizer. It is known as the "white gold potassium" for crop fertilization and is a replacement for potassium sulfate. It is processed through numerous complicated procedures from natural ore containing potassium sulfate and magnesium sulfate, and is a natural green fertilizer that can provide crops with comprehensive and balanced nutrients: potassium, magnesium and sulfur.
On the basis of the functions of traditional potassium sulfate products, the magnesium element has been added, greatly promoting the most important photosynthesis in the process of crop growth. The magnesium element plays a vital role in crop growth. It is the core component of chlorophyll. Crop growth mainly depends on photosynthesis, and what plays a decisive role in photosynthesis is precisely chlorophyll.
Magnesium can also greatly promote crops' absorption of phosphorus and promote the formation of growth enzymes in crops, thereby promoting the formation of vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins and fats in crops, and preventing premature leaf drop and fruit drop during the ripening period.
Experiments show that potassium magnesium sulfate fertilizer is suitable for all crops, and is especially suitable for economic crops such as vegetables, fruit trees, tea and flowers. It can provide crops with long-term stable fertilizer efficiency, improve crop quality, and enhance crops' drought resistance, cold resistance and resistance to pesticide damage, with very obvious yield-increasing effects.
Potassium magnesium sulfate fertilizer: white powder/granular. Agricultural potassium magnesium sulfate is currently produced in the world only in the United States, Germany and China's Jinaier Lake, and is still a new variety in the potassium fertilizer series in China. Compared with the traditional product potassium sulfate, potassium magnesium sulfate fertilizer has added the magnesium element, which can promote photosynthesis in crop growth and provide more comprehensive and balanced nutrients. It has the advantages of rich nutrient content, good soil improvement effect, effective promotion of crop growth, and remarkable economic benefits. It is a multi-element potassium fertilizer. Besides potassium, magnesium and sulfur, it also contains calcium, silicon, boron, iron, zinc and other elements. It is generally used as a base fertilizer, and can also be used as a top dressing. It is suitable for crops such as rice, wheat, corn, cotton, peanut, sugarcane, tobacco, potato, sugar beet, fruit trees and vegetables.
