For high-quality bulk blended fertilizers, K-MAG Premium supplies three vital plant nutrients - potassium, magnesium and sulfur (21.5% K2O, 10.5% Mg, 21% S). This premium product is mined and granulated near Carlsbad, New Mexico.

Uniformity
Typically, the larger the Uniformity Index (UI) value, the greater the uniformity of particle size and the better the blending characteristics. K-MAG Premium typically ranges between UI 42 and 47, an excellent range for high-quality blends.

Less Abrasive
Due to the granulated nature of K-MAG Premium, it is much less abrasive than crystalline granular forms, causing less wear and tear on blending and application equipment.

High-Quality Blends
K-MAG Premium is ideally sized for blending with SGN typically between 265 and 280. Very uniform in size, it also has a lower bulk density than crystalline K-MAG Granular. Because it is a granulated material, K-MAG Premium has excellent properties for impregnation with herbicides or pesticides.

Minimal Chloride K-MAG Premium
Premium's maximum chloride content is typically below three percent, minimizing the potential for fertilizer "burn." It is widely used on sensitive vegetable and fruit crops requiring high fertilizer rates. It is also used on other crops - tobacco, for example - which have high potassium and magnesium demand, yet are sensitive to chlorides.

Replacement of K, Mg and S
Potassium, magnesium and sulfur are three basic nutrients essential for plant growth and vital to profitable crop production. They are continually removed from the soil by high-yield crop production and, in the case of sulfur and magnesium, not replaced by many of today's high-analysis fertilizers.

Readily Soluble
K-MAG Premium is totally water soluble, providing potassium, magnesium and sulfur in a form readily absorbed by plants. The rapid solubility of the product is a special benefit in the production for short-season crops, especially in areas of cold soils and limited rainfall or irrigation.

Non-Acidifying
K-MAG Premium is neutral in pH and does not contribute to additional soil acidity.

Agronomic Characteristics
Potassium is required for the uptake of nitrogen and synthesis of protein and starch. It also helps activate more than sixty enzymes, making them available to stimulate other chemical processes within the plant. Adequate potassium is essential for fruit formation, optimum yields and high quality. Magnesium activates a large number of enzymes in the plant and is also required for the synthesis of chlorophyll - the vital green pigment necessary for sugar manufacturing in plants. Sulfur activates a number of enzymes, is vital to the formation of amino acids, is crucial in the production of protein and is especially important to plants with high oil content.

Product analyses are typical as tested at mine site. Handling and transportation may affect the analysis of the delivered product.
