Top Seven Ways K-Mag NATURAL Meets Organic Needs
Organic agriculture requires a holistic approach to nutrient management. That means a variety of inputs may be required to achieve the desired outputs. While organic growers rely on composting, crop rotation and diversity to achieve optimum yields, they must also maintain a fertile soil that properly feeds hungry organic plants.

Here are seven reasons why K-Mag NATURAL is the perfect fit in any organic nutrient management program:

1) It’s all natural. It doesn't get more natural than a 100% pure deposit of langbeinite. The remnant of an ancient, fertile lakebed, K-Mag NATURAL is drawn directly from the earth itself. Mined from the belly of the New Mexican desert, this extensive deposit of nutrient-dense material is found more than 1000 feet below the earth's surface.
   
2) Bears the OMRI Listed™ Seal. The OMRI Listed seal of approval, granted by the Organic Materials Review Institute, ensures growers that crop inputs are organically sound. Extracted, crushed, washed and made available in two grades – Granular and Standard – K-Mag NATURAL meets all the criteria for organic certification and listing.
   
3) Provides Instant Gratification to Hungry Organic Plants. The three nutrients found in K-Mag NATURAL are in the water-soluble sulfate form, meaning they are immediately available to developing organic crop roots. Although both grades are water soluble, K-Mag NATURAL Granular grade dissolves slower than Standard grade due to its larger granule size.
   
4) Won't Lower pH. As a neutral salt, K-Mag NATURAL does not increase soil acidity. It supplies needed potassium, magnesium and sulfur without acidifying the soil.
   
5) Won’t Burn Sensitive Crops. Many fruits and vegetables suffer from lowered quality and shorter shelf life when exposed to high chloride levels. K-Mag NATURAL is low in chloride, minimizing the potential for fertilizer "burn."
   
6) Brings Balance. If nothing else, balance is key in organic agriculture. If nutrient levels are out of proportion, it is nearly the same as if the nutrients were absent from the system altogether. K-Mag NATURAL provides a balanced 3-in-1 combination of K, Mg and S in proportions needed by the crop.
   
7) Its Nutrients are Necessary! Let's not forget that K, Mg and S are essential plant nutrients. Plants simply can't grow without ample supply of each of these. K provides the basis of many enzymes and promotes drought tolerance and disease resistance. Without Mg, photosynthesis can't take place. And, S is crucial for plant protein formation and flavor enhancement.
