Fast acting liquid which corrects magnesium deficiency. Deficiency is common in citrus trees, tomatoes, vegetables, camellias, azaleas, gardenias and other acid loving plants. Magnesium is needed for photosynthesis. Deficiency is indicated by yellowing mainly in mature leaves, but with a residual green patch shaped like an inverted V at the base of the leaf.
Features
- Yates Leaf Greener Magnesium Chelate is an easy to use liquid trace element
- Recommended as a foliar application, this delivers magnesium directly to the deficient leaves for faster results
- Foliar applications also result in much lower magnesium additions into the soil when compared to traditional Epsom salts soil drench applications, resulting in less wastage and lower risk of soil toxicity
- Works differently from other chelates
- Releases nutrients gradually to minimise leaf burn
- A targeted solution for fast results
- Sticks firmly to foliage and is rain-fast in 2-3 hours
General application
Application: Spray to lightly wet the leaves, before runoff. NOT for stone fruit (see instructions for stone fruit below)
Rate: Mix 20mL in 1L water and apply with garden sprayer
Frequency: Every 2-4 weeks
Timing :Apply when symptoms appear. Reapply when necessary
Area: 1L/15m² depending on size of plant canopy
Stone Fruit
Application: Soil drench, applying to moist soil around plant (only recommended for stone fruit)

For optimum results reassess plant symptoms every few weeks to decide if further applications are necessary. Begin treatment as soon as symptoms become visible or early in the growing season if a deficiency is known to exist. It is best to apply many smaller amounts rather than a single large amount.
