OO-- ya you have plenty of Mag., Serious issues with Calcium and more serious problems with Boron. Did you spot the, one good tissue mag was associated with the best Boron, test result? This is a slam dunk for the basic question you asked about how important is mag. Someone else touched on the importance of mag for building chlorophyll. Implicit here is the importance of building sugars in the plant. These sugars are what fire up the microbes to supply the mag to make more sugar. Quite the deal aye? It only works well when you have adequate calcium and boron and silica. Track these relationships in your test results. Boron gets the calcium mobile so that it can get in the mitochondria to produce the ATP when bonded with P2O5. One could reasonable ask which comes first. I think they all come together in balance or the engine never really makes it into the peak torque range. I like MegaMag Foliar at mid pod set and at early silking to get things things really fired up. Sap testing and the weigh wagon shows it works. Innovative Surface Solutions for the product.



I'm a bit confused by your response. Looking at the tissue test he posted, the best Mg level in corn was the first one, 0.22%. It had a deficient boron test, 8 ppm. The middle sample is from soybeans, which aren't really comparable to corn.
