Nutri-Key Magnesium Shuttle ™

All crops should be supplemented with magnesium, regardless of the soil levels.

Magnesium is a central component of chlorophyll and as such it is required at luxury levels for all crops. In most leaf tests we analyse, magnesium is required and it should be an integral part of all crop programs.

Packaging.

  • 1 litre (1.32kg), 5 litres (6.5kg), 20 litres (26.4kg), 200 litres (252kg), 1000 litres (1260kg).
    Weight per volume: 1.26

Information:

  • Sequesters, chelates and delivers more nutrition than previously possible.
  • Small molecular size increases chelation speed.
  • Reduced stability problems.
  • In soil situations, Magnesium Shuttle™ can continue to operate beyond the original quantity dosed, complexing and converting other dormant cations into useable plant foods (especially in soils with low microbial activity).
  • Also serves as a carbohydrate-based microbial stimulant.
  • All of the Shuttle™ range contains 'background nutrients' to avoid the problems which can occur when the correction of one shortage triggers other shortages due to the antagonistic effect of trace elements.

The Functions of Magnesium:

  • An essential ingredient in chlorophyll (the vital green pigment required for photosynthesis).
  • Regulates the uptake of nitrogen (ie excess magnesium reduces nitrogen efficiency).
  • Stimulates the uptake of phosphorous - the activator in several enzymic reactions.
  • Important for protein and oil production.
  • Controls cellular respiration (energy release).
