The normalized use of "Kalimagnezii" in the garden or in the garden contributes to a significant increase in fertility and increase the quality characteristics of the crop. The real finding of this substance is for chlorophobic plants and poor, depleted soils. What is the "Kalimagneziya" fertilizer, what recommendations the manufacturers give in the instructions, when it is necessary and in what dosages to use it - you will find the answers to these questions in our article.
Important! Experts categorically do not recommend to make potash supplements during germination and development of rhizomes. It is better to do this in the fall in small portions in several stages.
Potassium Fertilizer Description
"Kalimagneziya" is a three-component mixture of potassium, magnesium and sulfur in the ratio of 30:17:10 percent. During chemical analysis, up to 3% chlorine was found in the composition of the agent. Such small amounts of the element allow to classify this fertilizer to chlorine-free. In the sale of the drug can be found under the brand name "Kalimag" in the form of granules or powder pink-gray shades. 
It is unusual for the substance to sedate, it dissolves well in water. In the working solution a slight precipitate of insoluble impurities is allowed. In the scientific literature, "Kalimagneziya" is referred to as "double magnesium and potassium sulfate" or as "double salt", which is caused by potassium and magnesium prevailing in the composition of the fertilizer. All components are evenly distributed in the substrate, simultaneously affecting its physical properties and fruit and vegetable crops.
Producers note the effective influence of dressing on potatoes, berry plants, legumes, tomatoes, rutabagas, cucumbers, buckwheat, cabbage. Moreover, the effect of the drug does not depend on the composition of the land in the garden.
Did you know? The Japanese in ancient times fertilized plants with human feces, because Buddhism forbade the use of manure. In addition, the feces of the rich were valued much more expensive. This was explained by the fact that they have a more high-calorie diet.
Action on garden crops
In the complex, all components of "Kalimagneziya" have an effective impact on the quantity and quality of the crop, and also have a beneficial effect on the soil. What happens after you water the bed with this fertilizer, let's look at the details on the example of each component.
Potassium is responsible for enhancing the protective functions of plant organisms. Having received this element, the plants acquire immunity to pathogenic bacteria and viruses, resist the defeats of fungal spores, it is easier to survive the winter cold. Manicured ovaries initiate rapid maturation. Fruits are characterized by high taste and commodity qualities.
Potash fertilizers, in addition to increasing yields, improve the quality characteristics of farmed products. Among the potassium fertilizers emit such: wood ash, potassium sulfate, potassium salt, potassium nitrate, potassium chloride.
Magnesium takes over the release of energy from plants. In cases of deficiency of this microelement, a certain lifeless state of the stems and foliage is observed. This is due to a suffering root system.
Botanists explain that under the influence of sunlight and sufficient soil moisture in the fibers of the plant, the synthesis of sugars occurs, which further affects the amount of carbohydrates, fructose, cellulose, and starch. Therefore, the element is of particular importance for cereals, beans and potatoes.
Important! Lack of magnesium is not immediately noticeable. The lifelessness of the stems is already apparent in critical situations. Pay attention to the lower foliage. With a sufficient amount of trace element, it should not be yellow and twisted.In addition, magnesium is assigned the function of uniform distribution of nutrients through plant tissues. If a malfunction occurs, the plant does not absorb water well when it is watered, stops growing, and often sunburns appear on the stems.
Sulfur as an auxiliary component is responsible for the recovery of cells and fibers, as well as for the absorption of nutrients and the formation of proteins. It is of particular importance for cruciferous vegetable crops. With its shortage, growth is observed, the shoots are weakened, the leaves are small and not developed, the cuttings are woody. 
Many lovers of gardening affairs mistakenly think that these are signs of nitrogen starvation, since there are many similarities between them. Significant and perhaps the only difference is that with sulfur deficiency, the foliage does not fall off, as with a lack of nitrogen.
Did you know? Potash fertilizers are made from raw potash salts that are mined in Canada, Belarus and Russia.
Soil impact
Light sand and sandy substrates, in which, as a rule, there are not enough nutrients, especially in need of double salt. Also, its impact is more obvious on sod-podzolic lands, in which potassium deficiency is often noted.
The remedy will also have a beneficial effect in swampy areas, peatlands, and depleted red soils. When applying fertilizer on emaciated soils, abundant moisture is important. Despite the versatility of the drug, on chernozem its use is inappropriate. According to agronomists, these soils already contain sufficient amounts of the necessary trace elements. The shortage of magnesium and sulfur is better compensated by magnesium sulfate.
On chernozem nitrogen fertilizers are effectively used: urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, sodium nitrate.
Fertilization of southern serozem and chestnut substrates will be ineffective, with the exception of plants that need higher dosages of potassium. (sugar beet, sunflowers). And also not worth experimenting on solontsah. Experts explain that in their composition an increased amount of potassium-magnesium mixtures, therefore, "Kalimagneziya" will only contribute to an increase in alkalinity.
Methods of application and consumption "Kalimagnezii"
"Kalimagneziya" as a mineral fertilizer is used on almost most soils, especially chlorine sensitive plants need special use in its application.
Important! The maximum dose of the drug per weaving garden should not exceed 35 grams.The dosage recommended by manufacturers depends on the characteristics of the substrates and the cultivated plant, as well as the yield claimed by the landowner. The substance in the fall is buried in the ground, and during the growing season, fruit and vegetable crops are used for root dressings.
Leading agronomists share the experience of preparing the solution "by eye" - when there are no weights, then the required amount of fertilizer can be calculated on the basis that 1 gram of "Calimagnese" is 1 centimeter cubic. It turns out that in 1 teaspoon - 5 grams of the drug, in 1 tablespoon - 15 grams, and in a matchbox - 20 grams. 
According to the instructions for use of ten square meters in the fall of the mixture should be up to 200 grams. In spring, the dose should be halved. And for greenhouse production recommended about 50 grams. In cases of root feeding, an aqueous solution is prepared in a proportion of 20 g: 10 l.
Some lovers of vineyards resort to spraying vine three times with a classic solution. This is done at a monthly interval in cases where the culture suffers from a lack of nutrients and the main feeding is not carried out.
Important! If you overdo it with potash fertilizers on cucumber crops, the culture may wither from magnesium deficiency.For delicate rhizomes of cucumbers "Kalimagneziya" can play a cruel joke. To guess with the rate and time of feeding, focus on the composition of the soil. On exhausted areas in the spring when preparing the beds, close the pellets into the ground. Potassium cucumber liana can be fertilized with the simultaneous introduction of organic matter (chicken manure, mullein).
Moreover, this procedure does not interfere at the beginning of flowering, when the substrate was fed in the fall. In general, experts recommend up to three potash supplements: when preparing the bed, budding and during the appearance of the ovary.The same top dressing scheme is recommended when growing tomatoes. On good soils, about 15 - 20 g of mixture per square meter will suffice. Be prepared that such impurities do not affect the tomato flavor, and contribute to the immunization of nightshade to a number of diseases.
Flower cultures need potassium-magnesium fertilizers with premature falling of foliage, small inflorescences, slow development and withering. At the beginning of autumn it is recommended to add up to 20 g of powder per square meter of powder, and it will not interfere with fertilizer irrigation during flowering.
Did you know? In one teaspoon of soil of live microorganisms more than people on Earth.
Benefits of using fertilizer
The main advantages of "Kalimagnezii" are as follows:
- universality of the drug;
- good digestibility by plants;
- impact on any soil;
- simultaneous beneficial effects on crops and soils;
- the ability to increase the yield, taste and product characteristics of fruits;
