CROP NUTRITION:
K-MagŪ Premium 0-0-21.5
For high-quality bulk blended fertilizers, K-MagŪ Premium supplies three vital plant nutrients including potassium, magnesium and sulfur (21.5% K2O, 11% Mg, 21% S). This premium product is mined and granulated near Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Uniformity
Typically, the larger the Uniformity Index (UI) value, the greater the uniformity of particle size and the better the blending characteristics. K-MagŪ Premium typically ranges between UI 42 and 47, an excellent range for high-quality blends.
Less Abrasive
Due to the granulated nature of K-MagŪ Premium, it is much less abrasive than crystalline granular forms, causing less wear and tear on blending and application equipment.
High-Quality Blends
K-MagŪ Premium is ideally sized for blending with an SGN typically between 245 and 265. Very uniform in size, it also has a lower bulk density than crystalline K-MagŪ Granular. Because it is a granulated material, K-MagŪ Premium has excellent properties for impregnation with herbicides or pesticides.
Minimal Chloride
K-MagŪ Premium's maximum chloride content is typically below three percent, minimizing the potential for fertilizer burn. It is widely used on sensitive vegetable and fruit crops requiring high fertilizer rates. It is also used on other crops including tobacco, for example, which have high potassium and magnesium demands, yet are sensitive to chloride.
Replacement of K, Mg and S
Potassium, magnesium and sulfur are three basic nutrients essential for plant growth and are vital to profitable crop production. They are continually removed from the soil by high-yield crop production and, in the case of sulfur and magnesium, are not replaced by many of today's high-analysis fertilizers.
Readily Soluble
K-MagŪ premium is in the water soluble sulfate form; providing potassium, magnesium and sulfur in a form readily absorbed by plants. The rapid solubility of the product is a special benefit in the production for short-season crops, especially in areas of cold soils and limited rainfall or irrigation.
Non-Acidifying
K-MagŪ is neutral in pH when applied to the soil, and therefore, it does not contribute to additional soil acidity.
