Mg deficiency – Gramophone

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.
Deficiency symptoms (25-30 DAS) first appear on the lower leaves and shed prematurely, showing purplish red leaves with green veins.
Magnesium deficiency in soil can be arrested by applying Magnesium sulfate 9.5% @ 10 kg/acre as Basal dosage at the time of Sowing.
Magnesium sulfate @ 70-80 gram per acre is sprayed twice a week in order to remove the lack of magnesium deficiency in cotton crop.

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.
