Slaked magnesian lime (4 kg), corrective of soil pH
MAGNESIQUE SUSTAINED LIME (4 KG), CORRECTIVE OF SOIL PH
CALCE MAGNESIAC is formed by Ca and Mg oxide in the right proportions that can be used by plants; it is used for various applications: for the correction of acid soils, to prevent and treat physiopathies caused by calcium deficiency (apical rot, bitter pit, rachis desiccation), to protect branches and trunks, as a neutralizer in the preparation of Bordeaux mixture, etc.
Calcium and Magnesium are two fundamental elements for the plant, as the former strengthens the cell walls while Magnesium, being a component of chlorophyll, is essential for the green color of plant tissues. The magnesium deficiency in fact causes serious yellowing of the leaves, starting from the outer margin, and drastically decreases the productions.
