Datasheet
Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate Agro / Technical Grade
Description
In agriculture and gardening, magnesium sulfate is used to correct magnesium deficiency in soil, since magnesium is an essential element in the chlorophyll molecule. It is most commonly applied to potted plants or to magnesium hungry crops such as potatoes, roses, and tomatoes. The advantage of magnesium sulfate over other magnesium soil amendments (such as dolomitic lime) is its high solubility. Its application may be foliar or drop watering.
