Description:

AGRIVENTURE MAGNESIUM EDTA (Magnesium Disodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetate) is a highly stable, water-soluble chelated micronutrient. By binding magnesium to EDTA, the nutrient remains highly bioavailable, allowing plants to absorb it instantly without it becoming trapped or reactive in the soil.

Technical content: Magnesium EDTA

Key Features & Benefits:

• Enhanced Photosynthesis: Magnesium is a foundational building block of chlorophyll. Supplying plants with chelated magnesium ensures vibrant green foliage and optimal energy production.
• Superior Nutrient Absorption: Chelation protects the magnesium from reacting with other elements in the soil, allowing it to be absorbed instantly by the plant. It improves overall nutrient efficiency and significantly reduces waste from leaching.
• Wide pH Stability: Unlike unchelated mineral supplements, Magnesium EDTA remains highly soluble and effective across a broad range of soil and water pH levels.
• Versatile Application: It is highly effective for both foliar sprays and soil/medium drenches across a wide variety of crops, including vegetables, fruits, and cash crops.

Crops suitability:

High Magnesium Demand Crops:

• Vegetables: Spinach, Tomato, Lettuce
• Cereals: Wheat, Rice, Maize
• Tubers & Roots: Potatoes, Sugar Beet

Commonly used for:

AGRIVENTURE CHELATED MAGNESIUM (Mg-EDTA) is a highly efficient micronutrient fertilizer primarily used to prevent and correct magnesium deficiencies in plants. It ensures maximum nutrient absorption and promotes healthy development by supporting critical physiological processes.

Mode of entry: Foliar Absorption & Root Absorption

Mode of action:

• Photosynthesis: Magnesium is the core metal ion in the center of the chlorophyll molecule. It is directly responsible for light absorption and allows the plant to harness solar energy to produce food.
• Enzyme Activation: It acts as an essential cofactor for more than 300 enzymes in plants. This includes activating Rubisco, the vital enzyme responsible for carbon dioxide fixation during photosynthesis.
• Energy Transfer & Transport: Magnesium is required for the synthesis, transport, and utilization of ATP (the plant's energy currency). It facilitates the movement of sugars and starches (photoassimilates) from source leaves to the roots, developing seeds, and fruits.
• Nutrient Uptake: It enhances the plant's ability to uptake other critical macronutrients like Nitrogen and Phosphorus, leading to better fertilizer-use efficiency.
• Stress Resilience: Adequate magnesium levels improve the plant's natural defense mechanisms against abiotic stresses like heat, drought, and high light. It helps the plant manage reactive oxygen species (ROS) and prevents oxidative damage.

Mode of application: Foliar Spray, Fertigation / Drip Irrigation, Soil Drench / Root Application

Dose: 1.5 - 1.7 gm per 1 liter water or 25gm in 15-liter water

Additional information:

Magnesium is highly mobile in the plant, meaning older leaves will often show a yellowing between the veins (interveinal chlorosis) when a deficiency occurs, as the plant relocates magnesium to younger, growing tissues.

To correct deficiencies or boost crop yields, farmers utilize several application methods:

• Soil Amendment: Applying dolomitic lime or magnesium sulfate directly to the soil prior to sowing.
• Foliar Spray: Applying water-soluble magnesium sulfate directly to the leaves is a highly effective way to quickly boost chlorophyll levels and yield, especially during critical growth periods like grain filling or flowering.

Management Tip: Farmers must balance Magnesium and Potassium. Excess Potassium application can inhibit a plant's ability to uptake Magnesium from the soil; the generally recommended agronomic balance is a 1K:2Mg ratio.
