- Magnesium plays an important role in the process of plant photosynthesis and is a key element in chlorophyll, it is one of the most important nutrients, involved in many enzyme activities and the structural stabilization of Plant Tissues.
- The ideal range of magnesium in the soil is 0.5-40gm/kg, however these days soil content of magnesium is found to be at 3-25gm/kg leading to magnesium deficiency.
- Nitrogen deficiency in the soil only intensifies the deficiency scale of available nutritional balance in the soil, thereby affecting overall crop health.
- In the early stages can be detected on lower and older leaves. The leaf veins appear darker in color while the area between the veins attains a yellowish color.
- Magnesium deficiency in soil can be arrested by applying Magnesium sulfate ( 9.5 %) as Basal dosage at the time of Sowing.
- Spraying 70-80 g/acre magnesium sulfate twice at weekly intervals.
