Magnesium plays a major role in the process of photosynthesis. It is also involved with a number of enzyme systems and the movement of sugars from leaves to the rest of the plant.<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium deficiency is usually found on the older leaves of plants as an interveinal chlorosis. When severely deficient, leaves can abort and fall off. Spotting or interveinal yellowing are the first symptoms. If not dealt with efficiently the problem will move upwards, affecting other parts of the plant. Magnesium deficiency will seriously affect crop growth, quality and yield because the crop will not be able to photosynthesise effectively.<\/p>\n       <\/div>\n\n   <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id='block-columns-block_2e2610fabd0951ea5d8c89bb6b6a4543' class='columns-block pt-8 lg:pt-24 pb-8 lg:pb-24'>\n\n    <div class=\"container grid gap-8 grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2\">\n\n        \n            <div class=\"border-b-[5px] border-[#EFEFEF]\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1696\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/strawberry-bowl-field-scaled.jpg\" class=\"w-full object-cover h-78 lg:h-96 mb-[38px]\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/strawberry-bowl-field-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/strawberry-bowl-field-scaled-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/strawberry-bowl-field-scaled-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/strawberry-bowl-field-scaled-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/strawberry-bowl-field-scaled-1536x1018.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/strawberry-bowl-field-scaled-2048x1357.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/strawberry-bowl-field-scaled-960x636.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\n                <div class=\"lg:px-6 mb-10 content\">\n                    <span class='heading h5 text-left' >O-Mix<\/span>\n<p>Magnesium is included within <a href=\"\/uk\/\">O-Mix<\/a> water soluble blended fertilisers at a rate of 1.6-5.0% depending on the grade selected, but additional magnesium can also be applied either as a foliar feed or added to stock tank B when a crop supplement is needed.<\/p>\n<a data-button-type='primary'  href=\"#\" target='_self' rel='' class='btn '>View O-Mix<i class='icon-chevron-right text-[9px]'><\/i><\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            \n            <div class=\"border-b-[5px] border-[#EFEFEF]\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2295\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Strawberry-Field.jpg\" class=\"w-full object-cover h-78 lg:h-96 mb-[38px]\" alt=\"soft fruit fertiliser | OMEX\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Strawberry-Field.jpg 2295w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Strawberry-Field-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Strawberry-Field-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Strawberry-Field-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Strawberry-Field-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Strawberry-Field-2048x1371.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Strawberry-Field-960x643.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2295px) 100vw, 2295px\" \/>\n                <div class=\"lg:px-6 mb-10 content\">\n                    <span class='heading h5 text-left' >Folex Mg 13<\/span>\n<p>Folex Mg 13 is a 13% MgO magnesium nitrate option for application to a crop usually during the vegetative phase and Folex Mg 9 is a 9% MgO magnesium sulphate option for use during the generative phase.<\/p>\n<a data-button-type='primary'  href=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/products\/folex-mg-13\/\" target='_self' rel='' class='btn '>View Folex Mg 13<i class='icon-chevron-right text-[9px]'><\/i><\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            \n   <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id='block-full-width-block_d96ca07eaf5d871626ce1b6c8507bd9d' class='full-width-block pt-8 lg:pt-24 pb-8 lg:pb-24 bg-secondary relative' data-content-colour=\"light\">\n\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"absolute right-0 bottom-0 h-3\/5 md:top-0 md:bottom-auto md:translate-y-0 md:h-full object-cover 4xl:right-[calc(50vw-960px)] z-[1] opacity-10\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/themes\/omex-2024\/public\/img\/x-simple-text-background.svg\" alt=\"Omex Logo X\">\n    \n    <div class=\"container relative z-[2]\">\n\n       <div class=\"max-w-4xl\">\n            <h4 class='heading h5 text-left' style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Biostimulants for Strawberries<\/h4>\n<p>Biostimulants are playing an increasingly important role in optimising the performance of strawberry crops, ensuring that canopy is functioning as efficiently as possible to move dry matter to where it is needed most, and most profitably, i.e. the fruit.
