Magnesium Nitrate

Magnesium Nitrate is a water-soluble fertilizers composed of magnesium and nitrogen in nitrate form. It is a highly efficient source of essential nutrients that play a key role in chlorophyll production and overall plant metabolism. As a crystalline white compound, Magnesium Nitrate dissolves rapidly in water, making it ideal for fertigation and foliar applications. It ensures quick nutrient uptake and is widely used across a range of horticultural and field crops to prevent and correct magnesium deficiencies.

Description

Magnesium Nitrate

Magnesium Nitrate is a water-soluble fertilizers composed of magnesium and nitrogen in nitrate form. It is a highly efficient source of essential nutrients that play a key role in chlorophyll production and overall plant metabolism. As a crystalline white compound, Magnesium Nitrate dissolves rapidly in water, making it ideal for fertigation and foliar applications. It ensures quick nutrient uptake and is widely used across a range of horticultural and field crops to prevent and correct magnesium deficiencies.

Specification
  • Chemical Formula : Mg (NO ) .6H O
  • Magnesium (Mg) : 9.5% minimum
  • Nitrate Nitrogen (NO -N) : 11% minimum
  • Solubility in Water : 100%
  • Appearance : White crystalline powder
  • pH (1% solution) : 6.0 - 7.5
Benefits
  • Enhances Photosynthesis : Magnesium is the central element of chlorophyll. By supplying magnesium in an available form, this fertilizer promotes higher photosynthetic activity, improving plant energy and productivity.
  • Boosts Nitrogen Efficiency : The nitrate nitrogen in Magnesium Nitrate enhances root development and protein synthesis, leading to improved plant vigor and yield.
  • Quick Correction of Deficiency : It rapidly corrects magnesium deficiencies in crops showing symptoms like interveinal chlorosis, leaf curling, or poor fruit setting.
  • Improves Fruit Quality : Magnesium plays a critical role in sugar translocation, thereby enhancing the sweetness, size, and shelf life of fruits like grapes, tomatoes, and citrus.
  • Compatible with Other Fertilizers : Magnesium Nitrate blends well with most water-soluble fertilizers, making it suitable for integrated nutrient management plans.
  • Reduces Stress : Regular application reduces the impact of abiotic stress such as drought and heat, enhancing plant resilience and productivity.
  • No Chloride or Sulphate Content : Unlike other magnesium sources, this product is chloride- and sulphate-free, ensuring no risk of salt buildup or crop toxicity.
  • Safe for All Crops : Being highly pure and low in impurities, Magnesium Nitrate is safe for use on sensitive crops including floriculture and exotic vegetables.
Application

Magnesium Nitrate can be applied through:

  • Foliar Spray : Recommended for quick deficiency correction and nutrient support during critical growth stages.
  • Fertigation : Suitable for drip and sprinkler irrigation systems, ensuring even distribution and efficient root uptake.
  • Dosage :
  • Foliar Spray : 1.0 - 2.0 grams per litre of water, depending on the crop and stage of growth.
  • Fertigation : 5 - 10 kg per acre per application, depending on soil condition and crop requirement.
    Consult an agronomist for crop-specific recommendations.
Time
  • Apply Magnesium Nitrate during the vegetative and reproductive stages for best results.
  • Magnesium Nitrate is ideal at early signs of magnesium deficiency.
  • During flowering and fruit development to improve quality and yield.
  • Avoid spraying Magnesium Nitrate during peak sunlight hours; best applied during early morning or late evening.
Precaution
  • Always use clean water for preparation.
  • Do not mix Magnesium Nitrate with calcium-containing products in the same tank as it may cause precipitation.
  • Use protective gear (gloves, mask) during handling and spraying.
  • Store Magnesium Nitrate away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
  • Conduct a jar test before mixing with other agrochemicals.
Shelf Life

Magnesium Nitrate has a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture if stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area in the original, unopened packaging.

Packaging
  • Available in high-quality laminated HDPE or LDPE bags.
  • Standard pack sizes: 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 25 kg.
  • Custom packaging options available on bulk demand.
