agricultural use | magnesium is the core element of chlorophyll, which can strengthen the reduction process of plants and improve disease resistance. it is essential for photosynthesis. Magnesium is an activator of many enzymes, which can promote carbohydrate metabolism, nucleic acid synthesis, phosphate conversion, etc. Magnesium sulfate is a very important fertilizer because it can provide rich nutrition for crops. Magnesium contributes to crop growth and high yield. Sulfur is the main component of proteins and enzymes in plants, which can promote root growth, enhance metabolism and redox in plants, thereby promoting vigorous crop growth and increasing yield. Magnesium sulfate is a good fertilizer. It can not only provide magnesium and sulfur, but also make the compounded soil loose and powerful, the root system of the plant is developed, and it can fully absorb nutrients and make the plant more luxuriant. Magnesium and 15 other elements are considered to be nutrients for plant growth and high yield. Regarding plant nutrients and fertilizers, the nutrients contained in traditional fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) are obviously not enough to increase agricultural yields. The medium amount of nutrients (calcium, magnesium, sulfur) and micronutrients (zinc, copper, iron, manganese, boron, molybdenum and chlorine) become less in the soil, and the lack of these nutrients will lead to a decrease in crop yield. It has been proved that the excessive extraction of magnesium from the soil is the main source of this widely distributed deficiency. Magnesium is an important component to improve productivity and agricultural output, and it must be supplemented in time. It can be mixed with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to form compound fertilizers or mixed fertilizers according to different needs, or it can be mixed with one or more elements to form various fertilizers and photosynthetic fertilizers. After the actual field fertilization experiment of nine crops such as rubber trees, fruit trees, tobacco leaves, and beans, potatoes, and cereals, the compound fertilizer containing magnesium can increase the crops by 15-50% compared with the compound fertilizer without magnesium. | |
feed | feed grade magnesium heptahydrate sulfate is used as a supplement for magnesium in feed processing. Magnesium is an indispensable factor in the process of osteogenesis and muscle contraction in livestock and poultry. It is an activator of various enzymes in livestock and poultry, and plays an extremely important role in material metabolism and neural function in livestock and poultry. If the body of livestock and poultry is short of magnesium, it will lead to material metabolism and neurological dysfunction, supply imbalance, affect the growth and development of livestock and poultry, and even lead to death. | |
