As the title suggests: Which is more suitable as a fertilizer, magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride? Which type is used for magnesium-containing fertilizers in China?
Magnesium sulfate tends to caking, and magnesium chloride is not suitable for tobacco plants.
I feel that more sulfate-based fertilizers are used. . . In our village, sulfur-based compound fertilizers are used for all fertilization. . Magnesium chloride is rarely used. . Sulfates are more suitable for the soil in our area
Magnesium sulfate has lower solubility than magnesium chloride, and it tends to clump more easily; therefore, it can be considered for use in areas where large amounts of magnesium are needed. Magnesium chloride can be used in combination with micro-fertilizers, but care must be taken regarding the amount and frequency of application in crops that are sensitive to chlorine； Under normal circumstances, the compatibility of magnesium chloride is much better than that of magnesium sulfate.
Sulfates are not easy to decompose, and using too much of them is certainly not good. Therefore, ammonium fertilizers are not usually treated with sulfuric acid, and magnesium fertilizers should also not be treated with magnesium sulfate. The disadvantages of magnesium chloride are not clear.
Magnesium-containing fertilizers available on the market today mainly use magnesium sulfate.
Magnesium fertilizer is mainly magnesium sulfate. . . . . . . . . . . . .
In fact, magnesium sulfate is used in most cases; magnesium chloride is used rarely. Magnesium sulfate is preferred for use as a fertilizer due to its high viscosity, which helps it form clumps, and it also gives a better appearance. Additionally, magnesium sulfate has a strong moisture-absorbing capacity
Chloride fertilizers are used for rice, while sulfate fertilizers have a wider range of applications
Magnesium sulfate is used in the fertilizer industry to produce magnesium-based fertilizers, which play a significant role in plant growth.
