Chemical Name : Magnesium Sulphate Monohydrate (Kieserite)
Formula : MgSO4.H2O
Appearance : White or light pink granular.
Uses : Kieserite provides a highly concentrated form of two essential plant nutrients - Mg and S. Since kieserite applications have no major effect on soil pH, it can be supplied to all kinds of soil, irrespective of soil pH. It is commonly used prior to or during the growing season to meet the nutrient requirement of crops. Due to its high solubility it can be used to supply both Mg and S during peak periods of crop demand. Since kieserite is an earth mineral mined from naturally occurring deposits, it is permitted as an organic nutrient source by some organic certifying agencies.
