Sul Po Mag

[SHEP]

This is my Christmas present.  Mfg by Greenway Biotech in Santa Fe Springs.  Can you suggest where to reference application rates, and also locate which genus/species are heavy or light feeders

Dear Cecile,

I have not used this for my gardening work.But here are few links were customers have asked how to use it...kindly visit those links to see how much quantity one can use for the plants/palms.

In each link there is discussion on how much quantity to use.

Love,

Here is available this stuffhttp://www.kali-gmbh.com/uken/fertiliser/products/patentkali.html, which has double quantity of sulphate and 50% more potassium. Any ideas whether it can do same job as Sul Po Mag?

Potassium is supposed to encourage root growth.  Maybe it would help newly planted palms take hold.

Does anyone have Axel's chart that he posted previously and removed?  I have read the articles, but, application rates for containers (nor field grown) is not in the reference article from the U of Florida.  Cecile

I just broadcast it generously by hand. It only lasts a year or so. Jersey green sand can do the same thing, it takes a year to kick in but then it lasts about 5 years and it’s organic. I put down both sulpomag and green sand the first year and now the problems That I was experiencing  with potassium deficiency have corrected themselves. It’s been about two or three years. The greensand also has other beneficial properties that help you build better soil.

I should note that not all greensand is created equally and does not work the same, you want Jersey not Texas greensand

Thinking Phosphorus is your "root stimulator" as a pose to Potassium, which is supposed to be the overall regulator in the N-P-K formulation( or is what I've read)  I apply a higher %' age of Phosphorus at the start of the growing year for the Plumeria/ other tropical stuff, and palms to jump start  new root growth. Higher K the rest of the year.

 Good to know. Didn't realize Greensand can remain that effective longer term.  How's your garden doing??

Yes, it will do the same job. The ratio potassium-magnesium is perfect, 3-1.

If you have alkaline soil or water, more sulphate will be good.
