Benefits of application rates
Serpentine application rates range from 250–750Kg/Ha depending on soil and herbage magnesium status and urgency to rectify magnesium deficiency (435Kg of Serpentine per Ha delivers 100Kg of magnesium per Ha).
High application rates have been used on the West Coast and in some other cases of crops exhibiting falling productivity.
At $98/T ex Lumsden and 38% MgO the cost works out at 25.8c/Kg of MgO which is a very economical source of magnesium.
