Description
Additional information

Bionova MgO 10 is a food-grade mineral additive containing 10% magnesium. Magnesium is essential to the process of photosynthesis. This additive should be applied when deficiencies occur and/or to stabilize RO water for irrigation. Magnesium in MgO 10 forms the reactive nuclei in the chlorophyll, which converts light energy into chemical energy. Mg deficiency is often seen in cultivations irrigated with RO water or when cultivating under LEDs.

What Makes Bionova MgO 10 So Effective?

Magnesium (10%)

Magnesium in MgO 10 forms the reactive nuclei in the chlorophyll:

Forms reactive nuclei in chlorophyll molecules
Converts light energy into chemical energy
Central atom in every chlorophyll molecule
Essential for photosynthesis function
Critical for energy production in plants

Supports Chlorophyll Production

Magnesium is essential for chlorophyll production:

Central component of chlorophyll structure
Without magnesium, chlorophyll cannot form
Prevents chlorosis (yellowing) between leaf veins
Maintains healthy green color
Supports photosynthesis efficiency

Prevents Photosynthesis Slowdown

When plants present generalized chlorosis, magnesium (Mg) alone is not enough to guarantee high levels of chlorophyll:

Photosynthesis slows down until leaves die
Flowers become smaller with lighter colors
MgO 10 cures the deficiency
Restores normal photosynthesis function
Returns plants to healthy state

Supports Healthy Seed Production

To produce healthy seeds after pollination, increase the dosage of MgO 10 together with Ca 15:

Both products contain nitrogen
Helps support sufficient nutrient uptake
Essential for seed development
Improves seed quality and viability
Critical for breeding programs

Understanding Magnesium Deficiency

Signs of Magnesium Deficiency

A deficiency of magnesium manifests as chlorosis (slight discoloration) between the veins of older leaves:

Chlorosis (yellowing) between leaf veins
Older leaves affected first
Veins remain green while tissue yellows
Generalized chlorosis on leaves and flowers
Subsequent dried leaves
Smaller flowers with lighter colors
Photosynthesis slows down
Leaves eventually die

Common Causes of Magnesium Deficiency

Mg deficiency is often seen in cultivations irrigated with RO water or when cultivating under LEDs:

RO water removes magnesium from irrigation water
LED lights increase magnesium demand
High potassium or calcium levels block magnesium uptake
Low pH can reduce magnesium availability
Coco coir naturally binds magnesium

Treat Deficiency Quickly

Apply Bionova MgO 10 to the root or leaf to help plants quickly recover:

Rapid deficiency correction
Both irrigation and foliar spray work
Quick recovery from nutritional shortage
Restores healthy green color
Returns photosynthesis to normal function

Understanding Magnesium Excess

An excess of magnesium results in an ill-growing crop and smaller leaves:

Ill-growing crop
Smaller leaves
Blocks uptake of other nutrients
Use MgO 10 only when needed
Monitor plant response carefully

When Should You Use Bionova MgO 10?

Use When Deficiencies Occur

This additive should be applied when deficiencies occur:

Chlorosis (yellowing) between leaf veins
Generalized chlorosis on leaves and flowers
Dried leaves
Smaller flowers with lighter colors
Photosynthesis slowdown

Use to Stabilize RO Water

MgO 10 should be applied to stabilize RO water for irrigation:

RO water lacks essential minerals
Add 2-6ml per gallon to RO water
Prevents magnesium deficiency
Stabilizes water for optimal plant health
Essential for all RO water users

Use When Growing Under LEDs

Mg deficiency is often seen when cultivating under LEDs:

LED lights increase magnesium demand
Supplement with MgO 10 to prevent deficiency
Maintains healthy photosynthesis under LEDs
Prevents chlorosis in LED-grown crops
Essential for LED growers

Pro Tips for Using Bionova MgO 10

Tip 1: Treat Magnesium Deficiency Immediately

When plants present generalized chlorosis on leaves and flowers with subsequent dried leaves, apply Bionova MgO 10 to the root or leaf to help plants quickly recover from the nutritional shortage.

Tip 2: Essential for RO Water Users

When using Reverse Osmosis Water add 2-6ml per gallon of water. RO water removes essential minerals including magnesium. MgO 10 stabilizes RO water for optimal plant health.

Tip 3: Critical for LED Growers

Mg deficiency is often seen when cultivating under LEDs. LED lights increase magnesium demand. Supplement with MgO 10 to prevent deficiency and maintain healthy photosynthesis.

Tip 4: Combine with Ca 15 for Seed Production

To produce healthy seeds after pollination, increase the dosage of MgO 10 together with Ca 15. Both products contain nitrogen which helps support sufficient nutrient uptake.

Tip 5: Use for Outdoor Growing

Mono-nutrients like MgO 10 are excellent for outdoor growing. After checking the soil and irrigation water, use MgO 10 to adjust nutrition elements and guarantee adequate amounts of available nutrients.

Tip 6: Both Irrigation and Foliar Spray Work

MgO 10 can be applied as a soil drench/irrigation or foliar spray. Both methods are effective. Choose based on your growing situation and plant condition.

Tip 7: Prevent Deficiency in Coco Coir

Coco coir naturally binds magnesium, making it unavailable to plants. Supplement with MgO 10 when growing in coco to prevent deficiency.
