Magnesium is a key element of mineral nutrition, playing a critical role in the processes of photosynthesis and the overall development of crops. Its deficiency in the topsoil layer leads to serious physiological disorders, such as chlorosis, which significantly reduces plant productivity and final yield. It is important for an agronomist and a specialist to be able to conduct differential diagnostics, distinguishing signs of magnesium starvation from iron or calcium deficiency, as well as to understand the factors limiting the availability of this element in various types of substrates and soils.
This collection contains a complex of materials dedicated to the practical aspects of managing magnesium nutrition. Readers will find information here about the properties of modern sulfate fertilizers, such as epsomite and kieserite, the rules for their application, and methods for calculating application rates based on agrochemical analysis. We have also included articles on related issues of mineral nutrition, including the role of sulfur, the use of complex preparations, and strategies for nutrient correction in greenhouse conditions. These materials will help specialists promptly identify symptoms of nutrient imbalance and make informed decisions to optimize the mineral nutrition of various crops.
