Magnesium (Mg) is essential to plants. It is strongly involved in photosynthesis and transporting carbohydrates from leaves to roots, which is particularly important for tuber development. Yet, it may be overlooked within fertiliser programs focused on N, P and K.

In this Podcast Stephanie Tabone from the PotatoLink project and AHR talks to NSW's regional representative Marc Hingerager about his 2022 magnesium demonstration trial in Canowindra NSW. They discuss the trial, the results and why magnesium is important.
