What is the advantage of the low chloride content of K-Mag Fertilizer?
Many crops have a low tolerance of high chlorides in the soil and in fertilizers. Sensitive crops, such as tobacco and many fruits and vegetables, have lower quality and shorter shelf life when excessive chloride is present. Using K-Mag, especially when high rates of potassium are required, provides a low chloride source of potassium. In many cases, the quality of the fruit and vegetables are enhanced, while tobacco has a much higher quality cured leaf.
