All of Lebanon Turf's Emerald True Foliar products are designed to produce excellent surface conditions - color, consistency, controlled growth, and turf quality - while also providing seaplant extract and other beneficial supplements for root growth, stress tolerance, and disease resistance.

True Foliar MgMn was developed for situations where foliar application of these elements is more efficient than soil application. True Foliar MgMn contains 6% Nitrogen plus 3.7% Sulfur, 2% Magnesium and 5% Manganese. Like all Emerald Isle True Foliars, it also contains a minimum of 10% proprietary seaplant extract.

Magnesium is a component of chlorophyll. It is also a critical element in several plant metabolic functions including cell respiration. It is a mobile element in the plant. Deficiencies tend to occur most frequently in acidic sandy soils with low CEC, or high pH soils. Removal of clippings can increase deficiencies. In soils with high calcium or phosphorous content, soil uptake of magnesium can be inhibited. Where liming is not effective, needed or desired, foliar applications of magnesium can be very effective.

Manganese is a critical element in photosynthesis. It is an enzyme activator, supports plant metabolism and chlorophyll synthesis. Deficiencies can occur in alkaline soils, soils high in calcium, and sand-peat soils. Cold weather and poor drainage can also inhibit absorption. Excess iron, sodium or potassium can also reduce manganese absorption. When these conditions exist, foliar applications can be extremely effective in restoring the correct balance of manganese in the plant.
