“…Consequently, balanced fertilization should increase the input of Mg fertilizer in production to prevent absolute Mg deficiency caused by long-term unbalanced crop fertilization practices that neglect soil Mg depletion through crop Mg removal (Van Der Pol and Traore, 1993 ; Wang et al, 2020 ). Mg fertilizer not only could mitigate the detrimental effects of abiotic stress on plants but improve crop yields for most production cases, particularly for Mg-deficient regions (Boaretto et al, 2020 ; Cakmak and White, 2020 ; Wang et al, 2020 ). Choudhury and Khanif ( 2001 ) estimated the rice yield response to Mg rates that rice yields were significantly positively correlated with Mg fertilizer application rates at both sites.…”

“…There are four different Mg fractions (water-soluble, exchangeable, fixed, and organic) in soils, while for typical agronomic soils, an extensive amount of total soil Mg is bound in an exchangeable form (Gransee and FüHrs, 2013 ). However, the amounts of exchangeable Mg (ex-Mg) that are released from soils are generally small in comparison with the amounts needed to sustain high crop yields and quality (Cakmak and White, 2020 ). In addition to an absolute lack of Mg in soil, rainfall, soil acidification, high soil CEC or calcium ion (Ca 2+ ) and other factors cause Mg leaching loss (Gransee and FüHrs, 2013 ).…”

Magnesium (Mg) plays a crucial role in rice yield. Heilongjiang Province is the main rice-producing region of China, playing an important role in guaranteeing China's and the world's grain security. However, rarely Mg fertilization is applied in this province. Soil Mg status of main rice-producing areas in Heilongjiang Province was investigated and Mg fertilizer experiments were conducted aiming to provide fertilizer recommendation in this region. A total of 358 soil samples from the 0–20 cm and 20–40 cm soil layer from the main rice-producing areas of Heilongjiang Province were collected to analyze soil exchangeable Mg (ex-Mg) and relative chemical properties. Meanwhile, field experiments of soil and foliar Mg application were performed in 2017–2019 to identify the effect of this nutrient on rice yield. The results showed that the ex-Mg concentration in the 0–20 cm and 20–40 cm soil layer was 282 mg kg−1 and 243 mg kg−1, respectively. Moreover, ex-Mg ranged on the abundant and exceptionally abundant level accounted for 75% in 0–20 cm and 55.3% in 20–40 cm. The ex-Mg concentration in the upper soil layer was higher than in the lower soil layer and varied depending on regions, which the west part of Heilongjiang Province showed the highest concentration in both soil layers. Correlation analysis showed that there had a significant (P < 0.05) linear relationship between ex-Mg and pH, CEC, ex-K, Ca, K/Mg, and Ca/Mg. Meanwhile, the results of path coefficients demonstrated that pH, CEC, and Ca/Mg had the most direct effect on ex-Mg concentration among these above factors. Soil Mg application had little effect on rice yield, which might be related to the soil Mg concentration and availability, and root uptake activity. Foliar Mg application increased rice yield by 8.45% (P < 0.05) compared to without Mg treatment, increased 1,000-grain weight by 2.62% (P < 0.05), and spikelet number per panicle by 4.19% (P < 0.05). In general, the paddy soil ex-Mg concentration in Heilongjiang Province was abundant. Soil-applied Mg played little role in rice yield in ex-Mg abundant regions, while foliar application increased rice yields significantly via increasing 1,000-grain weight and spikelet number per panicle.

“…In addition, Mg can improve the drought, cold, and disease resistance of crops, and promote the growth and development of plants. 18,48 When plants lacked Mg, the older leaves at the bottom will be affected firstly. The color of the tip and edge of the leaf will change from green to light yellow, and gradually extend to the leaf vein.…”

“…15 Therefore, the application of Mg fertilizers can enhance the photosynthesis of crops, increase the yield and improve the quality of agricultural products. [16][17][18][19] Mg is actually an essential nutrient element for plant growth that is a 'forgotten element' in crop production worldwide. 20,21 With the increase in the multiple cropping index of crops and the cultivation of new varieties, although crop yields and biomass continue to increase, the amount of Mg extracted by crops from the soil is also increasing, simultaneously.…”

The use of nanofertilizers has the potential to be used to enrich edible organs with nutrients (biofortification) and improve the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds and their antioxidant capacity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of biofortification with magnesium (Mg) nanofertilizer on the accumulation of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity in green bean cv. Strike compared to a conventional fertilizer (Mg sulfate). Two sources of Mg were applied via foliar: Nanofertilizer and Mg Sulfate at doses of 0, 50, 100, 200, and 300 mg/L of Mg. The accumulation of total polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant capacity was evaluated in pods. The results obtained in this research confirm the effect of green bean pods biofortified with Mg nanofertilizers on the production and accumulation of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity, improving the nutrition and nutraceutical quality of green beans. The 50 mg/L dose of Mg nanofertilizer was the most effective treatment to increase bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity compared to high doses of Mg sulfate (300 mg/L). This is one of the first studies focused on biofortification with Mg nanofertilizers and their effect on the nutraceutical quality of green beans.
