Maxing Micronutrient Fertilizer Portfolio: Calcium, Magnesium, and Manganese for African Soils

While nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium get the most attention, the yield gap in East African agriculture is often caused by deficiencies in calcium, magnesium, and manganese. Maxing supplies all three — the secondary and micronutrient fertilizers that close the gap NPK alone cannot.

Calcium Fertilizers

Maxing supplies calcium-based fertilizers for correcting calcium deficiency in acidic soils and improving crop structure and root development.

· Calcium sulfate (gypsum): 23 % Ca, neutral pH effect, for alkaline and neutral soils

· Calcium nitrate: 19 % Ca + 15.5 % N, water-soluble, for fertigation and foliar application

Magnesium Fertilizers

Magnesium is the central atom in chlorophyll. Maxing supplies magnesium sulfate in two forms:

· Epsom salt (MgSO4·7H2O): 10 % MgO, 13 % S, highly soluble, ideal for foliar and fertigation

· Kieserite (MgSO4·H2O): 27 % MgO, 22 % S, less soluble, for soil application

Manganese Fertilizers

Manganese deficiency is common on alkaline soils in the Rift Valley and coastal areas. Maxing supplies manganese sulfate for soil and foliar correction.

· Manganese sulfate (MnSO4·H2O): 31-32 % Mn, water-soluble, for soil and foliar application

Why Source Micronutrients from Maxing

China is the world's largest producer of sulfate-based micronutrients. Maxing's products come from established chemical manufacturers with consistent quality and competitive pricing. All products come with Certificates of Analysis and comply with international standards.

Ordering micronutrients alongside your urea and ammonium sulfate simplifies logistics — one supplier, one shipment, one set of documents.

Summary

Maxing's micronutrient portfolio covers calcium, magnesium, and manganese — the three nutrients most commonly limiting in East African soils. All products are available in standard export packaging with COA documentation. Combine with urea and ammonium sulfate orders for simplified procurement.

FAQ

Q: Can I order micronutrients together with urea in the same container?

A: Yes, you can mix different Maxing products in one container. This simplifies logistics and reduces per-product shipping costs. We will provide separate COAs for each product in the container.

Q: What is the minimum order for micronutrient fertilizers?

A: Minimum order is typically 1-2 tonnes per product. For combined orders with urea or ammonium sulfate, we can accommodate smaller micronutrient quantities within a container load.

Q: Are Maxing micronutrient products water-soluble?

A: Epsom salt, manganese sulfate, and calcium nitrate are fully water-soluble, suitable for fertigation and foliar application. Calcium sulfate (gypsum) has limited solubility and is best for soil application.
