Magnesium foliar fertilisers are specially developed for application to the leaves. Magnesium (Mg) is an important nutrient for plants, necessary for various processes in plant metabolism. A deficiency of this nutrient can lead to various growth problems in plants, such as reduced growth, yellowing of the leaves and reduced yield performance. Acute nutrient deficiencies can be quickly counteracted by application to the leaf.

Chelated nutrients improve absorption and plant availability for optimal nutrient uptake.

The application of magnesium foliar fertiliser can be combined with other foliar fertilisers and compost tea.

The chelation

A chelate is a chemical compound in which a metal ion is bound to a larger organic molecule, the chelating agent. This bond forms a complex that is both stable and soluble. The chelating agent usually forms multiple bonds with the metal ion, creating a ring-like structure. This unique structure of the chelate increases the stability and bioavailability of the metal ion and prevents it from precipitating or becoming inaccessible to plants or organisms.

Improved nutrient absorption: Chelated nutrients are more readily absorbed by plant leaves, ensuring efficient nutrient uptake.
Improved nutrient use efficiency: Chelated fertilisers increase the availability of nutrients to plants so that they can efficiently take up and utilise the important elements.
Rapid nutrient delivery: Chelated foliar fertilisers deliver nutrients directly to the plant's leaves, enabling rapid uptake and utilisation.
Targeted nutrient application: The application of chelated fertilisers to the plant leaves enables the targeted correction of specific nutrient deficiencies and promotes balanced plant nutrition.
Corrective measures for deficiencies: Chelated fertilisers can quickly correct nutrient deficiencies in plants, preventing or mitigating potential yield losses or negative effects on plant health.
Increased plant growth and development: Chelated foliar fertilisers provide the necessary nutrients for optimal plant growth, resulting in better overall development, yield and quality.
Reduced risk of nutrient loss: Chelation helps prevent leaching or immobilisation of nutrients in the soil, reducing the risk of nutrient loss and ensuring nutrient availability to plants.
Compatibility with other fertilisers: Chelated foliar fertilisers can be easily combined with compost tea, fertilisers or other agents for convenient and efficient application.
Environmentally friendly option: Chelated foliar fertilisers can be applied in smaller quantities compared to traditional fertilisers applied to the soil, reducing the risk of environmental pollution.
Flexible application methods: Chelated foliar fertilisers can be applied by foliar spraying, drip irrigation or fertigation systems, allowing flexible application according to crop requirements and growth stage.

Application and dosage

Crop	Application rate
General	Foliar fertiliser for magnesium supply: 2-5 l/ha, concentration: 0.5-1%. Via irrigation: 0.5%.
Viticulture	Prevention of magnesium deficiency and stalk paralysis, leaf quality: Several applications with 5 l/ha from the time the shoots are visible until shortly before harvest.
Pome fruit	Against premature leaf fall, for magnesium supply: several times 5 l/ha from flowering (for varieties susceptible to russeting only from walnut size).
Strawberries	Yield, vitality, magnesium supply: 2-3 times 5 l/ha from the beginning of flowering until harvest.
Potatoes	Against premature leaf dieback, for better yield: 1-2 times 5 l/ha from the beginning of row closure.
Vegetables	1-2 times 5 l/ha as soon as sufficient leaf mass has developed.
Stone fruit	Against premature leaf fall, for magnesium supply: 2-3 times 5 l/ha from the beginning of flowering until harvest.
Ornamentals	For leaf quality, leaf colour; photosynthesis, for magnesium supply: 1-2 times 5 l/ha as soon as sufficient leaf mass has developed.
Hops	2-3 times 4 l/ha from the beginning of flower development until 4 weeks after the end of flowering.
