NACHURS® 2.5% Mg EDTA is a premium liquid magnesium fertilizer developed to prevent and correct magnesium deficiencies identified through soil testing, plant tissue analysis, or visible crop symptoms.
Its 0-0-9-2.5Mg formulation provides 2.5% magnesium in an EDTA-chelated form, helping protect the nutrient from soil and fertilizer reactions that can reduce its availability. The product also supplies 9% soluble potassium as part of a complete crop-nutrition program.
Magnesium is an essential secondary plant nutrient and the central element within the chlorophyll molecule. It plays a critical role in photosynthesis, regulates the uptake of other nutrients, and helps transport phosphorus within the plant.
NACHURS 2.5% Mg EDTA can be applied in-row, in a 2×2 band, or as a foliar treatment. It may be combined with NACHURS liquid fertilizers, other liquid fertilizers, fertilizer suspensions, nitrogen solutions, or water when compatibility is confirmed.

One pint of NACHURS 2.5% Mg EDTA supplies approximately 0.033 pounds of elemental magnesium.
Role of Magnesium
Magnesium performs several essential functions within the plant. Adequate magnesium can help:
- Support chlorophyll formation
- Maintain healthy photosynthesis
- Regulate the uptake of other plant nutrients
- Assist with phosphorus movement
- Support enzyme activity
- Maintain healthy leaf color
- Promote vigorous crop growth
- Support efficient energy production within the plant
Common Magnesium-Deficiency Symptoms
Magnesium deficiencies are more likely to occur in sandy soils and soils with extremely high pH. Common symptoms may include:
- Light-yellow or white coloring between leaf veins
- Interveinal chlorosis
- Loss of healthy green leaf color
- Symptoms appearing first on older leaves
- Reduced photosynthetic activity
- Restricted plant growth and vigor
In corn, magnesium deficiency commonly produces pale yellow or white areas between the parallel leaf veins.
Because similar symptoms can result from other nutrient or environmental problems, confirm suspected deficiencies through soil or plant tissue testing before treatment.

High-Response Crop Rates
In-Row Application
Apply 1–3 pints per acre.
Banded Application
Apply 2–5 pints per acre in a suitable band, commonly 2 inches to the side and 2 inches below the seed at planting.
Other Crop Rates
In-Row Application
Apply 1–2 pints per acre.
Banded Application
Apply 2–4 pints per acre.
In-row rates are intended to supply starter magnesium for the current crop and may not correct a severe deficiency. Additional banded or foliar treatments may be required.
Ground Foliar Application
Apply 1–2 pints per acre with a minimum of 10 gallons of water.
NACHURS liquid fertilizer may be used as the carrier at 3–5 gallons per acre when the combination is compatible and all label directions permit.
Aerial Foliar Application
Apply 1–2 pints per acre with a minimum of 5 gallons of water.
More than one application may be required when treating a severe magnesium deficiency.
General Mixing Instructions
- Add approximately one-third of the required water or fertilizer to the tank.
- Add any other compatible agricultural chemicals.
- Add the remaining water or fertilizer.
- Shake each NACHURS 2.5% Mg EDTA container thoroughly and add the correct amount.
- Agitate adequately to produce a uniform mixture.
Always perform a jar test before large-scale mixing. Use additional caution when combining the product with orthophosphate fertilizers, high-potash suspensions, or complex chemical mixtures.
Storage and Use Guidelines
Do not store NACHURS 2.5% Mg EDTA below 32°F. Follow the product label for handling, storage, application, and safety requirements.
Application rates should be based on soil pH, soil organic matter, crop requirements, soil testing, plant tissue analysis, and professional fertility recommendations.
Why Growers Choose NACHURS 2.5% Mg EDTA
Magnesium is fundamental to chlorophyll formation and photosynthesis, yet its availability can be limited in sandy soils, high-pH conditions, or fields with imbalanced fertility.
NACHURS 2.5% Mg EDTA supplies magnesium in a protected, chelated form designed to fit into soil and foliar fertility programs. Its flexible application rates make it suitable for starter nutrition, targeted deficiency correction, and repeated treatments where magnesium demand is high.
NACHURS 2.5% Mg EDTA should supplement a complete fertility program. Always follow label directions and consult an authorized NACHURS distributor or agronomist for crop- and field-specific recommendations.
Supply available magnesium. Support chlorophyll production. Keep crops growing strong and green.
