WHAT IS POTASIUM NITRATE?

Potassium nitrate (13-0-46) is a highly soluble fertilizer containing two key nutrient ingredients that improve yield and quality in plants. It contains the %13 nitrogen and 46% potassium (K₂O) that plants prefer. It can be applied in the soil and as foliar fertilizer or in the irrigation.

SPECIFICATIONS

Potassium Nitrate contains %13 nitrogen and %46 potassium used exclusively by plants

Potassium Nitrate dissolves completely in water, can be used in all kinds of irrigation systems. Because of this property, it is used widely as fertilizer in foliar fertilizing and drip irrigation .

All of the nitrogen contained is in nitrate (NO₃) form and can quickly be absorbed by plants. It encourages the uptake of other nourishment (K+, Ca++, Mg++) or (K,Ca,Mg)

Can be used safely with all kinds of plants because it doesn’t contain sodium or chloride. Easy to use

The prill form is good for soil use, the crystal form is ideal for foliar fertilization and drip irrigation.

BENEFITS

Potassium Nitrate can be used with all irrigation systems. It results in plentiful, shapely, quality produce.

It increases the amount and quality of the fruit. It fights against prematurely dropping fruit.

It produces larger, better quality potatoes. It reduces storage losses. It increases the amount of dry matter in the potato.

It increases the flowering, quantity and quality of the fruit. It plays a role in reducing dormancy. In all kinds of melons, it improves the aroma, color and sugar content. It produces a shiny peel, resistant to disease and shorter time to full maturity.

It produces more, heavier buds with higher fiber content.

It can be used confidently on all kinds of flowers. It directly improves the color and shape of the flowers.

It improves the quality and quantity of the crop. It increases the sugar content and improves resistance to disease.

It produces greater yield and better quality leaves.

TYPES

Potassium nitrate is available in two forms:

PRILL: For direct soil applications either by machines or by hand, provides for easy mixing with other prill-type fertilizers

CRYSTAL (STANDARD): Suitable for drip irrigation or foliar fertilization.

APPLICATION

The Prill-type is used before planting or during hoeing and irrigation.

Drip irrigation - fertilizing: Potassium nitrate dissolves quickly and completely, so it wont clog irrigation systems and can be used safely.

For these reasons, the CRYSTAL form is the best fertilizer for drip irrigation.

For quick results or to reduce deficiency, it can be applied directly to the leaves. Use the crystal form. It can be applied in combination with medicines, pesticides.

It can be mixed in the correct amount with any pesticides, medicines and so applied at the same time as spraying.

Either mixed in with other fertilizers or in preparing a liquid fertilizer, it is the best "combination" fertilizer
