In the autumn of 2022 in large beet farms – agrofirm «Agrosugar-2», JSC «Rassvet», LLC «Kubanagroteh» – of the three districts of the Krasnodar area production experiments with the fertilizer AgroMag® granular have been laid down. Conducting such joint research allows demonstrating the efficiency of the fertilizer, as well as building further cooperation with agronomists and farm directors.
Different crops use AgroMag® granular, which is a high-magnesium fertilizer (61,4% MgO). The fertilizer is produced by grinding, classifying and granulation of brucite mineral, natural magnesium hydroxide. It is environmentally safe in recommended doses and suitable for organic production.
The objectives of the research work to determine biological yield in the field experiments are:
-
identification of differences in magnesium fertilizer effects on yields of sugar beet crops grown in various acidic soils (pHkcl from 5.5 to 7 units in different areas);
-
making a comparison of the size of roots at control and experimental sites.

The results have shown that the use of the AgroMag® granular fertilizer in plant nutrition systems contributes to root crops consolidation. There was an increase in the biological yield in different farms of 11,5 - 25,4 tons or 15.5 - 37,6 percent, respectively.
