It is white in color and has a fine crystal structure and is obtained by reacting magnesium minerals with nitric acid. It contains 11% nitrate nitrogen and 15% magnesium (MgO). Since it is completely soluble in water, in addition to classical uses, it can be applied to the soil with drip/sprinkler/underground infiltration irrigation and to the leaves with a sprayer. Since the use of magnesium nitrate is prohibited in organic agriculture, magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride is used instead. It is put on the market in 25 kg bags.
