Yates Liquid Magnesium Chelate

Fast acting liquid which corrects magnesium deficiency. Deficiency is common in citrus trees, tomatoes, vegetables, camellias, azaleas, gardenias and other acid loving plants. Magnesium is needed for photosynthesis. Deficiency is indicated by yellowing mainly in mature leaves, but with a residual green patch shaped like an inverted V at the base of the leaf. Features Yates Leaf Greener Magnesium Chelate is an easy-to-use liquid trace element Recommended as a foliar application, this delivers magnesium directly to the deficient leaves for faster results Foliar applications also result in much lower magnesium additions into the soil when compared to traditional Epsom salts soil drench applications, resulting in less wastage and lower risk of soil toxicity Works differently from other chelates Releases nutrients gradually to minimise leaf burn A targeted solution for fast results Sticks firmly to foliage and is rain-fast in 2-3 hours Ingredient Magnesium (Mg) as magnesium lignosulfonate chelate 1.25% w / v How to Use General Application Alleviate Magnesium deficiency symptoms Method – Foliar spray: Recommended Spray to lightly wet the leaves, before runoff.
