- Intervention effect Magnesium fertilizers increased leaf magnesium concentration and yield in potatoes.
- Intervention effect Magnesium fertilizers increased leaf magnesium concentration and yield in sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Magnesium fertilizers had only slight influence on sugar concentration in sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Magnesium fertilizers had only slight influence on potato dry matter yield.
- Mechanism The authors related Kieserite superiority to its higher magnesium solubility.
- Recommendation The authors recommend more soluble magnesium fertilizers to avoid deficiency and yield losses.
