Fruits
Fruits
Present fruit production is driven largely by in demand highest quality fruits. Only fruit trees supplied with sufficient minerals are able to produce suchpremium fruits.
Magnesium guarantees high qualityation.
• Magnesium not only promotes assimilation, but also plays an important role in assimilate transport. This increases both the sugar and acid content of fruit.
• Magnesium improves the content of natural aromatic flavour compounds, as well as fruit size and pigmentation.
Banana
Banana is one of the most important tropical fruits. Banana is considered as valuable for human nutrition due to its high content of carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins.
Banana crops that receive a balanced fertilization have the capacity to produce maximum yields and returns. Due to high nutrient uptake by banana trees, large quantities of minerals are removed from soil.
Magnesium is needed for the development of stem and leaves as well as the synthesis and accumulation of carbohydrates.
Calcium deficiency cause leaves not to expand properly (spike leaf) ,split of the bananas when ripe , reduction in fruit weight and diamaeter.
Calcium deficiency is a widespread problem in banana crops and significantly reduces fruit quality.Over-use of nitrogen fertilizers and excessive plant vigour also compound calcium deficiencies. The effect of calcium and magnesium application on banana yield
Mango – a tasty and nutritious fruit
Of the tropical fruits, mango is second only to banana in terms of global production .Mango is a very delicious and nutritious fruit containing large amounts of vitamin C.
• Magnesium plays an important role in determining mango quality, as the edible portion of mango contains approximately 15 % sugar, an adequate magnesium supply will ensure sufficient sugar production and translocation to the growing fruit.
• Magnesium influences the yield potential as the tree requires magnesium for optimal root growth, especially during the un-bearing phase. Underdeveloped root systems are more prone to nutrient deficiency and water stress.
• The calcium deficiency begins internally in mango, when the flesh becomes brown and rotten . When the mango is ripe, the blossom end gets soft , called soft-nose.
