pasturemag

What is pasturemag? 

Pasturemag is a convenient granular fertiliser that contains all five major plant nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (blended to your requirements), sulphur and magnesium, plus calcium for plant and animal health.

Why choose pasturemag? 

Pasturemag is the ideal choice for many farming situations, but offers special benefits for dairy farmers. Low soil magnesium levels around calving can lead to the development of grass staggers and milk fever. A typical application of pasturemag to dairy land supplies sufficient magnesium to meet the normal maintenance requirements of most dairy operations, so helping to prevent animal health problems. In addition, the inclusion of nitrogen promotes a rapid pasture response, while the phosphorus and sulphur encourage long-term clover growth. Applying all the major nutrients in one product can help save on spreading costs

Using pasturemag

  • The pasturemag range of products is designed to be used alone; however, they can be blended with certain other fertilisers.
  • Pasturemag products are compatible with potash, SOA (sulphate of ammonia), triple super, sulphur gain and Serpentine Super.
  • Care should be taken if pasturemag products are mixed with n-rich urea or n-rich ammo. Such mixes should be spread immediately on receipt.
  • Pasturemag products should be stored in cool, dry conditions. Exposure to moisture, e.g. rain, puddles, high humidity, will cause the products to deteriorate, which will make spreading difficult.
