Chlorine / Chloride
Abstract
Chlorine can be applied with potassium chloride (0-0-60), which is 47% chloride, ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), and magnesium chloride (MgCl2). In many situations, compound fertilizers are applied to soils.
Outcomes reported
Synthesis
Key insight
South Dakota extension guidance lists potassium chloride, ammonium chloride, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride as chlorine sources for corn fertilizer programs.
Limitations
General fertilizer guidance chapter rather than a chlorine-specific experiment, with no corn-specific chloride rate, timing, or outcome data.
