Mineral raw materials for the fertilizer industry

Talk to our Industry experts

MAGNESIA has been your relia­ble partner for mineral com­pounds in fer­ti­li­zer pro­duc­tion for over 40 years.

Agri­cul­tu­re faces the chall­enge of sus­tain­ab­ly incre­asing yields while main­tai­ning soil fer­ti­li­ty. Mineral raw mate­ri­als play a central role in this: they supply essen­ti­al nut­ri­ents, regu­la­te the pH value and improve soil structure.

We offer proven quality, tech­ni­cal know-how and a broad port­fo­lio of raw mate­ri­als that are indis­pensable for the pro­duc­tion of single- and multi-nut­ri­ent fer­ti­li­zers as well as special for­mu­la­ti­ons. With our pro­ducts we support you in opti­mi­zing the nut­ri­ent supply of plants and incre­asing the effi­ci­en­cy of your fer­ti­li­zers.

Applications of mineral materials as fertilizers in agriculture

Mineral raw mate­ri­als are essen­ti­al for the pro­duc­tion of modern fer­ti­li­zers. Our mineral pro­ducts are available in various qua­li­ties – tail­o­red to your requi­re­ments for purity, solu­bi­li­ty and reac­ti­vi­ty. This allows indi­vi­du­al solu­ti­ons for agri­cul­tu­re and the hor­ti­cul­tu­ral indus­try to be realized.

  • Magne­si­um & calcium supply for healthy plant development
  • pH regu­la­ti­on to improve soil struc­tu­re & nut­ri­ent uptake
  • Incre­asing nut­ri­ent effi­ci­en­cy through tar­ge­ted mineral enrichment
  • Special for­mu­la­ti­ons for dif­fe­rent crops & soils
  • Tech­no­lo­gi­cal pro­ces­sing aids for uniform gra­nu­la­ti­on & storage stability
  • Sus­tainable solu­ti­ons for redu­cing envi­ron­men­tal impact

Mineral raw materials for high-performance agriculture

Through the tar­ge­ted use of mineral com­pounds, modern fer­ti­li­zers can be deve­lo­ped that are opti­mal­ly tail­o­red to the needs of today’s agri­cul­tu­re. Proven com­pon­ents such as oxides, car­bo­na­tes and sul­fa­tes ensure the supply of important nut­ri­ents and regu­la­te the pH value. Fur­ther­mo­re, the MagS­phe­res® series provide addi­tio­nal impro­ve­ments by, for example, incre­asing flowa­bi­li­ty, redu­cing the weight of gra­nu­la­tes or storing mois­tu­re for longer periods and releasing it to the soil.

                Why mineral raw materials are indispensable in the fertilizer industry

                Mineral raw mate­ri­als are the foun­da­ti­on for effi­ci­ent and sus­tainable plant pro­duc­tion. They supply essen­ti­al nut­ri­ents such as magne­si­um, calcium and sulfur, which are decisi­ve for growth, pho­to­syn­the­sis and the fer­ti­li­ty of the soil.

                Magne­si­um oxide and magne­si­um sulfate are, for example, indis­pensable sources of magne­si­um, which plays a key role in chlo­ro­phyll for­ma­ti­on. Calcium car­bo­na­te neu­tra­li­zes acidic soils and impro­ves soil struc­tu­re, while calcium nitrate enables rapid nitro­gen supply.
