Description

Causmag® AL8 is a reactive calcined magnesite produced under closely controlled conditions. It is a specially sized utility grade.

Uses

Causmag® AL8 has many fertilizer applications in agriculture, including side dressing on bananas, pineapples, vegetables, sugar-cane and broad acre pasture improvement. Other uses include loose licks, fortified mineral blocks and pre mix feed formulations, where superfine particulate may cause a problem when mixing.
