Benefits of CALMAG Fertilizer

The following are the benefits of the nutrients in calmag fertilizer:

Benefits of Nitrogen

• Nitrogen promotes the production of chlorophyll in plants. This positively impacts the process of photosynthesis and also increase crop yield.
• Nitrogen is responsible for the growth of key plant tissue, this contributes to the overall health of the plant.
• Nitrogen is involved in the DNA development of plants.
• Nitrogen promotes the production of amino acid in plants.

Benefits of Calcium

• Calcium ensures the transportation and usage of other plant nutrients.
• Calcium improves stress and disease tolerance of plants by making the plan’s cells and tissues.
• Calcium promotes root development.
• Calcium promotes the division of cells.

Benefits of Magnesium

• Magnesium ensures the plants can capture sunlight for photosynthetic process.
• Magnesium optimizes the production of chlorophyll in plants.
• Magnesium improves plants’ respiration.
• Magnesium ensures the transportation of phosphorus in plants.

How to Use Calmag Fertilizer

Calmag fertilizer can be applied as basal before the planting of crops.

Calmag fertilizer can also be top dressed or side dressed. In side dressing of calmag fertilizer, calmag granules should be buried in holes beside each plant.

Calmag fertilizer can also be passed to the root zone of plants through drip irrigation pipes, this process is called fertigation. Depending on the type of crop planted, 1-3 kg of calmag should be fertigated daily to one hectare of farmland of crops.

Calmag fertilizer can be applied through foliar means to plants. To do foliar application of calmag fertilizer 1-2 kg of calmag fertilizer should be mixed with 100 – 200 litres of water.

Advantages of Using Calmag Fertilizer

• Calmag fertilizer is relatively cheap, given the proportion of nutrients in it.
• It improves the fruit colour, shelf life and quality of fruits.
• It can be used to prevent diseases like blossom end rot in crops.
• Calmag fertilizer is easy to store and use.
