The Role of Calcium-Magnesium Fertilizers
Calcium-magnesium fertilizers are a type of fertilizer containing calcium and magnesium that plays an important role in plant growth and soil improvement.
- Improves Soil Structure: Calcium-magnesium fertilizers can help improve soil structure, loosen the soil, and enhance aeration, thereby improving soil physical properties.
- Increases Soil pH: Calcium-magnesium fertilizers can also increase soil pH, making it more suitable for crop growth.
- Increases Soil Fertility: Calcium-magnesium fertilizers contain various nutrients, including calcium and magnesium, which can increase soil fertility.
- Promotes Crop Growth: The nutrients in calcium-magnesium fertilizers can promote crop growth, improving crop quality and yield.
- Enhances Crop Disease and Pest Resistance: When crops absorb calcium and magnesium, the cell walls on the stem and leaf surfaces thicken and the cuticle increases, enhancing their resistance to insects and diseases.
- Improves Crop Stress Resistance: Calcium-magnesium fertilizers can effectively regulate the opening and closing of leaf stomata, controlling water transpiration and improving crop resistance to drought, dry, hot winds, and low temperatures. 7. Improving Agricultural Product Quality: Applying calcium and magnesium fertilizers to fruit trees can significantly improve fruit quality, increasing fruit size, sugar content, and flavor, resulting in a sweeter, more fragrant, and healthier fruit. Applying calcium and magnesium fertilizers to sugarcane can increase yields and, in later stages, promote sugar accumulation in the stems, increasing sugar yield.
- Synergistic Effects with Other Nutrients: Calcium and magnesium fertilizers can straighten crop stems and leaves, reduce shade, and enhance leaf photosynthesis. Calcium and magnesium fertilizers also contain a certain amount of trace elements such as phosphorus, zinc, boron, iron, and manganese, providing a comprehensive nutritional benefit for crops.
