Magnesium (Mg) deficiency is a plant disorder. Magnesium can be easily washed out of light soils in wet seasons. Excessive potassium fertiliser usage can cause also Mg to become unavailable to the growing plant.

Mg deficiency can be rectified in the short term by applying a foliar feed fortnightly, with epsom salts diluted at a rate of 200g per 10 litres of water (8oz per 2½ gal) after flowering. In the longer term add dolomitic limestone if soil pH allows, or other Mg containing rocks such as Kieserite. Reduce usage of potash fertilsers if this may be contributing to the problem. Magnesium sulfate (commonly called Epsom salts in hydrated form) is a chemical compound with the formula MgSO4·7H2O. Origin Epsom salt was originally prepared by boiling down mineral waters at Epsom, England and afterwards prepared from sea water. ...
