Physical Description:
Off-white coarse chip (2-5mm) with some fine powder. Available in bulk or bagged.
Uses:
This high analysis fertiliser is suitable for pastoral, arable and horticultural applications.
Benefits:
Magnesium Oxide is a cost-effective source of magnesium where large amounts are required. Availability of the magnesium from this product will rely on soil acidity. This is a BioGro restricted input therefore written permission is required before applications to organic production systems can be made.
Application:
Rates of application are typically up to 40kg/ha (21 kg Mg/ha) as a maintenance dressing, or up to 200kg/ha as capital inputs. Magnesium Oxide is not compatible with many fertilisers. Refer to the Product Compatibility Chart for more information. When it is mixed with other fertilisers, it is important to reduce the bout width when spreading, as magnesium oxide does not spread as well as many other products.
Storage & Handling:
Store in a dry place. Can be very dusty so precautions may need to be taken.
