Magnesium oxide as a crop nutrient supplement and food additive

Magnesium oxide, calcined magnesium and magnesium hydroxide have various industrial and agricultural applications. RahulMag has been supplying magnesium oxide for agriculture purpose across the globe as a leading exporter. Let’s read in this article about the use of magnesium oxide as a crop nutrient and food additive.

There are 17 nutrients which have been identified as essential for plant growth. Without these nutrients, plants cannot complete their life cycles. Magnesium is considered a "macronutrient" i.e. those of the 17 nutrients required in relatively huge quantities. Soils where large amounts of potassium have been applied, continually, are low in magnesium. High application of potassium or ammonium fertilizers often heightens lack of magnesium. High applications concentration interferes with Mg uptake. This interference generally does not takes place where soils contain more exchangeable Magnesium than exchangeable Potassium. One of the various indicators of magnesium deficiency is low-yielding crops, where plants set fewer pods, containing fewer seeds, hence reduced grain yields. RahulMag’sRA-TG-80 (Rahul Tech Grade) is useful in correcting magnesium deficiencies in a wide variety of soils and crops. Soil acidification is a natural process which has been increased by normal production practices, particularly the use of nitrogen fertilizer and manure. High levels of soil acidity can reduce root growth, reduce nutrient availability, and affect crop protectant activity. Water-soluble magnesium is developed in the soil as magnesium oxide is broken down by the action of soil acids to furnish available magnesium, and neutralize acidity. The magnesium oxide supplied by Rahul Magensia Private Limited offers a good nutrient source for amalgamation of mixed fertilizers due to its high concentration of magnesium.

Food additives contribute to the overall appeal, convenience, nutritional value, and quality of foods. Magnesium is the 4th most common mineral in human bodies, with half of it found in bones as a strengthening component. Magnesium in blood and cells is essentially important for many functions such as cell metabolism, regulation of heart beat and maintain blood pressure, energy production, and neuromuscular functioning. RahulMag’s magnesium oxide is often used as a food additive for powdered foods desiccant or drying agent, color retention, pH modification or as a magnesium mineral supplement. This magnesium oxide grade produced by Rahul Magnesia Private Limited is odorless and non-toxic. Magnesium oxide adds dietary value in the form of the mineral magnesium in dietary supplements.

In addition, RahulMag’s magnesium oxide grade acts as an anti-caking agent to keep powdered foods, such as powdered mixes, free-flowing. Anti-caking prevents inter-particle interaction, and preferentially absorbs moisture to prevent bridging between particles. When added to food products, few magnesium oxide grade also helps control pH and maintain food color. Rahul Magnesia Private Limited is a leading supplier of magnesium oxide grades used for crop-nutrient supplement and food additive.

Calcined magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide are used in several agricultural and industrial processes. This article described in brief about the use of magnesium oxide grades as a crop nutrient supplement and food additive. RahulMag is a leading exporter of Calcined Magnesium Oxide. Light Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Hydroxide provide quality magnesium grades across all the continents mainly.
