AKRA Magnesia
Only having the right amount of magnesium available in the soil enables the absorption and processing of other nutrients, their transport to the right place and their use to build up a wide range of compounds.
Advantages
Composition of AKRA Magnesia:
- Magnesium carbonate 44%
- Calcium carbonate 55%
- Trace elements 1%
Effect of AKRA Magnesia
Not only is magnesium the main atom in chlorophyll, when combined with calcium it has a significant impact on the absorption of other nutrients. This goes some way to explain why many other special and normal fertilisers do not have the expected effects on crop growth.
Only having the right amount of available magnesium enables the absorption and processing of other nutrients – in ionic form as cations (+) and anions (-) – and their transportation to the right place, as well as their utilisation to build a range of different connections.

Applications and advice
Application
Application to the soil before tillage on stubble, on ploughed soils or on soils that have not yet been prepared for sowing.
It is also possible to apply AKRA Magnesia to the crops during the vegetation period (e.g. during tillering).
Application rates
800 – 1200 kg/ha 3 – 4 years
AKRA Magnesia should only be spread at 3 – 4 year intervals. With heavy soils, a good mixing should be carried out because depth displacement is more difficult. With sandy soils, the depth displacement happens by means of seepage water through the large pores. The application rates stay the same with both soil types as AKRA Magnesia is not at risk of leaching.
Spreading
- Wet: 1 litre = 1.2 – 1.3 kg
- Dry: 1 litre = 1.6 – 1.7 kg
Note for difficult locations
AKRA Magnesia can be used almost anywhere. It should only be replaced by AKRA DGC in difficult locations with high magnesium levels as this product has a lower magnesium content.
