GRANULAR

High Performance Fertilizer

®
K-Mag GRANULAR supplies three vital plant nutrients — potassium,
magnesium and sulfur (22% K20, 10.8% Mg and 22% S). It is a naturally-
occurring crystalline mineral which can be direct applied or used as a raw
material in bulk blend fertilizers. It is an excellent source of non-chloride
potassium, water soluble magnesium and non-acidifying sulfur. K-Mag
GRANULAR provides an economical source of magnesium and sulfur to
produce custom bulk blend fertilizers.

potential for fertilizer "burn." It is widely used on sensitive vegetable and
