Potassium Nitrate is the ideal potassium source to grow outstanding crops with additional supply of directly available nitrogen in the form of nitrate. NO3-facilitates the uptake of other essential nutrients like potassium (K+), calcium (Ca++) and magnesium (Mg++). Free flowing, fine, crystalline powder of potassium nitrate, which quickly dissolves in water, the most all-round and efficient water-soluble K-source of its kind. Virtually free of chloride and mixable with all water-soluble nutrient sources. It is an indispensable component in well-balanced nutrition programs for fertigation of crops, grown in soil or hydroponic systems. Due to its low risk of leaf burning and compatibility with other plant nutrient sources and most pesticides, is also widely recommended for foliar application.

Nutrient Breakdown:

• 12% Nitrogen (N)
• 38% Potassium (K)
• 46% Potassium Oxide (K2O)

Potassium: essential nutrient for yield and quality, promotes the production of proteins.

• Promotes photosynthesis
• Intensifies the transport and storage of carbohydrates
• Improves uptake efficiency of N fertilizers
• Improves water use efficiency
• Promotes lycopene synthesis

Nitrate: The preferred nitrogen source

• Non-volatile
• Promotes the uptake of cations (K+, Ca++, Mg++)
• Nitrate is readily absorbed by the plant
• Nitrate limits the uptake of chloride
• Efficient conversion to amino acids in the leaves

Benefits:

• Covers potassium requirements of a crop without supplying excess sulphate or chloride. It is the most suitable K-source under alkaline and saline conditions.
• Contains nitrogen in nitric form, the most efficient nitrogen source for plant growth. Nitrate is non-volatile and enhances the uptake of potassium (K+) together with other essential cations like calcium (Ca++) and magnesium (Mg++). The use of potassium nitrate is indispensable to increase the nitrate (NO3-)/ammonium (NH4+) ratio which positively affects plant performance during all growth stages.
• Due to its high K/N ratio, provides an optimum source for balanced potassium and nitrogen nutrition during a plant's generative production phases.
• Can be mixed with all water-soluble fertilizers and dissolves quickly in water.
