Key things we want you to know
K-Mag 0-0-22 supplies water-soluble potassium, magnesium and sulfur in one product, available in 12, 25 and 50 lb sizes.
Potassium, Magnesium & Sulfur in One Natural Mineral
K-Mag is a unique 3-in-1 combination of potassium, magnesium and sulfur. It is a naturally occurring source of these three vital plant nutrients. Potassium is essential for high quality fruit, magnesium is required for the synthesis of chlorophyll, and sulfur is needed for enzyme activation.
K-Mag supplies a balanced package of three essential nutrients (K, Mg and S) in the highly available, water-soluble sulfate form.
Key Nutrients
- 21-22% Potash (K2O), 18.2% Potassium (K): Known as the "quality" nutrient. A good source of potassium, K-Mag promotes healthy root systems and increases plant vigor and resistance to disease and cold. Potassium is also essential in sugar and starch formation and the movement of nutrients through plants.
- 10.5-10.8% Magnesium (Mg), 18% Magnesia (MgO): Magnesium is the central component of chlorophyll, the pigment molecule that absorbs sunlight during photosynthesis. Providing magnesium and potassium in the proper balance, K-Mag helps increase plant strength and builds resistance to winter kill, drying, insect attack and spray damage.
- 21-22% Sulfur (S), 67% Sulfate (SO4): Sulfur helps build proteins in plants and is a key component of many unique traits. It puts the "green and leafy" into crops like spinach, gives garlic and asparagus their distinctive flavors, and improves the baking quality of wheat. Because it is in the sulfate form, it aids initial root growth and promotes seed production and vigorous plant growth.
Five More Reasons to Use K-Mag
- Resists leaching: K-Mag is 100 percent water soluble, so it goes to work as soon as there is enough soil moisture to support crop growth. K-Mag Granular dissolves slowly, resisting rapid leaching from the soil.
- Essentially chloride-free: Maximum chloride content is less than 2.5 percent, minimizing the potential for fertilizer "burn." It is widely used on sensitive vegetable and fruit crops and other crops that do not tolerate chloride well.
- Provides a balance of nutrients: K-Mag supplies potassium, magnesium and sulfur in a balanced proportion that fits the nutrient needs of many crops.
- Does not change soil pH: Regardless of application rate, K-Mag does not change soil pH because it is a neutral salt.
- Increases profit per acre: Crop producers around the world have reported extra profit per acre with K-Mag, especially on magnesium- and sulfur-deficient soils. Results depend on crop, soil type and growing conditions.
K-Mag can be used as part of a complete fertilizer for the crop or applied directly to the soil.
