Langbeinite - Frankia Fertilizers

Langbeinite is a highly effective, natural mineral fertilizer that supplies essential nutrients critical for plant health. As a potassium magnesium sulfate fertilizer, Langbeinite delivers a balanced composition of 22% soluble potash (K₂O), 10% magnesium (Mg), and 22% sulfur (S) to support overall plant growth, root development, and soil fertility.

Unlike many other fertilizers, Langbeinite is pH-neutral, meaning it does not alter the soil’s acidity or alkalinity. This makes it an excellent choice for gardeners, farmers, and growers looking to improve plant nutrition without affecting soil pH levels. Whether used for in-ground crops, container plants, or large-scale agricultural applications, Langbeinite provides a consistent, long-lasting nutrient source to improve plant resilience, enhance nutrient uptake, and maximize yields.

Key Benefits of Langbeinite

Langbeinite is valued for its ability to deliver essential nutrients in a balanced and efficient manner. Its unique properties make it an excellent choice for soil conditioning and plant nourishment.

• Rich in Essential Nutrients – Provides potassium, magnesium, and sulfur, all critical for plant growth and productivity.
• Improves Root Development – Improves nutrient absorption and promotes strong root establishment.
• Supports Photosynthesis – Magnesium aids in chlorophyll production, boosting energy conversion for healthy growth.
• Improves Disease and Drought Resistance – Potassium strengthens cell walls and improves plants’ ability to withstand environmental stresses.
• pH Neutral – Does not alter soil pH, making it versatile for different soil types.
• Sustainable and Safe – A natural, environmentally friendly way to improve soil fertility without synthetic additives.
• Annual Application – Provides a steady, long-term nutrient supply, reducing the need for frequent fertilization.

By using Langbeinite, growers can ensure that their plants receive a balanced, slow-releasing nutrient supply that improves both short-term growth and long-term soil health.

The Role of Key Nutrients in Langbeinite

Langbeinite is an efficient and highly soluble source of three primary nutrients that plants require for vigorous growth and development.

1. Potassium (22% K₂O) – Improves Plant Strength and Resilience

Potassium plays a critical role in plant metabolism, improving drought resistance, disease prevention, and overall stress tolerance. It helps regulate water uptake, improves root strength, and supports fruit and flower production. With 22% soluble potash, Langbeinite ensures that plants receive adequate potassium to maximize productivity and yield.

2. Magnesium (10% Mg) – Essential for Chlorophyll Production

Magnesium is a core component of chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants responsible for photosynthesis. Without sufficient magnesium, plants struggle to produce energy, leading to weak growth and reduced yields. Langbeinite provides 10% magnesium, ensuring strong enzyme activation, improved nutrient absorption, and improved plant metabolism.

3. Sulfur (22% S) – Boosts Nutrient Uptake and Protein Synthesis

Sulfur is vital for amino acid and protein formation, helping plants produce essential enzymes and vitamins. It also plays a key role in nitrogen usage, ensuring that plants efficiently process nitrogen fertilizers for sustained growth. Langbeinite’s 22% sulfur content supports plant health while improving soil structure and microbial activity.

How to Apply Langbeinite

Langbeinite can be used in multiple ways to improve soil nutrient levels and promote healthy plant development. It is suitable for gardens, farms, container plants, and soil premixing.

1. Garden Application

• Apply up to 20kg per 250m² (44 lbs per 2500 ft²).
• Gently mix into the top 5 cm (2 inches) of soil.
• Recommended for annual application to ensure steady nutrient availability.

2. Top Dressing for Container Plants

• Apply 5 ml (1 teaspoon) per plant for individual container plants.
• Use 5 ml per 4L (1 teaspoon per gallon) of soil.
• Provides sustained nutrient release for potted plants without affecting soil pH.

3. Soil Premixing for Planting

• For small soil preparations, mix 5 ml per 4L (1 teaspoon per gallon) of soil.
• For larger soil mixing, add up to 1 kg (2.2 lbs) per cubic yard.
• Ensures even nutrient distribution before planting.

By following these application guidelines, Langbeinite helps maintain soil fertility and provides a continuous, slow-releasing nutrient supply that supports plant health throughout the growing season.
