Agriculture

The Chr. Olesen Industrial division specialises in delivering minerals to the agricultural industry.

Product list

Potassium Chloride

Potassium chloride (KCl) is a widely used fertilizer in agriculture because it provides essential potassium, a key nutrient that supports plant growth, water regulation, and resistance to diseases. Potassium improves the quality of fruits and vegetables and strengthens the plant’s overall structure, making it a critical nutrient for high crop yields.

 

Potassium Carbonate

Potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) is used in agriculture primarily to neutralize acidic soils. It helps regulate soil pH levels, making nutrients more accessible to plants. Additionally, it serves as a source of potassium, promoting root development, flowering, and overall plant vitality.

 

Magnesium Sulphate

Magnesium sulphate (MgSO₄), commonly known as Epsom salt, is applied to crops as a source of magnesium and sulfur, two essential nutrients. Magnesium is vital for chlorophyll production, enhancing photosynthesis, while sulfur contributes to protein synthesis and enzyme activity. It is particularly beneficial for crops that are magnesium deficient.

 

Boric Acid

Boric acid (H₃BO₃) is used in small quantities in agriculture as a source of boron, an essential micronutrient that plays a significant role in cell wall formation, reproduction, and nutrient transportation within plants. Boron deficiency can lead to poor growth, reduced fruit set, and lower crop quality.

Copper Carbonate

Copper carbonate (CuCO₃) is utilized in agriculture primarily as a fungicide to protect crops from fungal diseases. Copper is also a vital micronutrient for plants, contributing to photosynthesis, protein production, and overall plant metabolism. It is often applied in soils or foliage sprays to control disease and promote healthy plant growth.

 

Manganese Carbonate

Manganese carbonate (MnCO₃) is used in agriculture to correct manganese deficiencies in the soil, which can hinder plant growth. Manganese is essential for photosynthesis and helps in the activation of enzymes necessary for nitrogen metabolism. By applying manganese carbonate, farmers ensure healthier root systems, better nutrient uptake, and improved overall plant vitality.

 

Manganese Sulphate

Manganese sulphate (MnSO₄) is a more soluble and common source of manganese used in agriculture to treat manganese-deficient soils. It is typically applied to crops such as cereals, legumes, and fruit trees to support chlorophyll production, nitrogen assimilation, and enzyme activation. This helps in improving crop yields and ensuring vigorous plant development.
