In recent years, with the continuous increasing in crop yield and cultivation in successive years, many places have experienced magnesium deficiency and chlorosis, especially in facility cultivation where magnesium deficiency is more severe. Magnesiumis an important element for plant growth and development, it is an important component of chlorophyll, and a cofactor of various enzymes, playing a significant role in improving crop yield and quality. So, how to remedy magnesium deficiency in crops?

Magnesium is a moderate element in crop plants, mainly present in the tender branches and leaves of crops during the growth period, and mostly in fruits and seeds during the maturity period. The main effects of magnesium on crops include:
1. Magnesium is a component of chlorophyll in plant cells, which can promote chlorophyll formation and promote nutrient accumulation during photosynthesis.

2. Magnesium can promote the activity of functional enzymes in crop plants, regulate physiological functions, and improve crop stress resistance.

3. Magnesium can promote the synthesis and accumulation of protein and fat in crop plants, and increase the nutritional content of agricultural products.

4. Magnesium can increase the thickness of crop cell walls and prevent bacterial invasion.

5. Magnesium can improve the temperature and light resistance of plants, and prevent the occurrence of sunburn when there is strong light and high temperature.

What should we do to store magnesium hydroxide well

Like aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide flame retardant acts as a flame retardant by absorbing heat and releasing water through chemical decomposition during heating. Therefore, it has the advantages of non-toxic, low smoke, stable chemical properties of the decomposed magnesium oxide, and no secondary pollution.

How Do Magnesium-Based Fertilizers Enhance Phosphorus Availability in Global Agriculture?

The synergistic effect between ‌phosphorus (P)‌ and ‌magnesium (Mg)‌ is critical for optimizing crop nutrition. Magnesium sulfate fertilizers (e.g., ‌MgSO₄·7H₂O‌ and ‌MgSO₄·H₂O‌) significantly improve phosphorus solubility in soil by regulating pH levels and promoting root absorption.
