A Better Way To Farm Podcast
217: 12 Days of Nutrients - Day 4 Magnesium
December 13, 2023
Listen in as we uncover the secrets of maximizing profit on your farm by focusing on the crucial role of magnesium. We explore how magnesium is vital for chlorophyll production, phosphorus utilization, and activating plant enzymes. We highlight the danger of excess magnesium and discuss the importance of achieving a balance with other nutrients like calcium and sodium. Don't miss out as we investigate the interplay between magnesium and nitrogen and their combined effects on our soils. Here, we touch upon the intriguing topic of magnesium versus manganese and their influence on plant health and growth. As we always say, managing a farm isn't just about the crops; it's about the soil, the nutrients, and most importantly, the balance. Let’s go in!
