In autumn winter crops continue to actively use available resources for growth and development, as long as weather conditions allow. And right now it is important that the leaf apparatus is saturated with chlorophyll and remains functional, and that the plant can efficiently use nutrients in metabolic processes.
What role does magnesium play here?
Magnesium is the central atom in the chlorophyll molecule, so it is necessary for the normal work of the plant's photosynthetic apparatus.
For winter crops in autumn this means:
- activation of photosynthesis and phosphorus metabolism
- formation and preservation of the leaf surface that provides photosynthetic activity
- formation and accumulation of assimilates, the products of photosynthesis needed for further growth and development
- better conditions for preparing plants for winter
Therefore magnesium in autumn is support for the plant in the critical period when the potential yield of the crop is being laid down.
What to apply?
ECOLINE Complex Magnesium (Chelates) — 1.0–1.5 l/ha. Chelated magnesium is the most effective for foliar nutrition of plants.
An important point: timing
From the middle of October the weather can change very quickly: a sharp drop in temperature and shorter daylight reduce the period of active vegetation. So assess the condition of the crop and the weather forecast in advance so that the plant has time to use the applied magnesium before significant cooling.
ECOLINE Complex Magnesium (Chelates) is available across Ukraine, quickly and conveniently from our distributors.
