This tool turns the chosen spray strength into grams of Epsom salt for your exact volume.

Frequently asked questions

How do I mix a 2% magnesium sulphate (epsom) spray?+

A 2% w/v spray means 20.0 g per litre of water, so a 15 L knapsack needs 300 g. The calculator scales this to whatever tank size you enter.

When should I spray for the best result?+

A 1โ€“2% Epsom salt spray (10โ€“20 g/L) corrects interveinal yellowing of older leaves (magnesium deficiency) within a week โ€” far faster than soil magnesium on sandy or high-potash soils.

Can I increase the concentration to work faster?+

No โ€” going above the recommended 2% risks scorching the leaves and wasting product. Repeat sprays at the correct strength instead of one strong one.

Is the tool free and private?+

Yes โ€” free, no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so it works offline in the field.
