Characteristics and advantages of potassium nitrate products:
Potassium nitrate is a unique potassium source in terms of crop growth and yield, as well as its nutrient composition. And potassium nitrate has ideal chemical and physical characteristics, and good environmental quality.
Potassium nitrate is the preferred source of potassium for all types of crops. Potassium nitrate can improve the yield and quality of vegetables, field crops, flowers, fruits and nuts. Potassium nitrate is an ideal source of hydrogen and potassium nutrients for plants. Potassium nitrate is incorporated in many products and formulations to suit the specific needs of crops and growing environments.
1. Potassium nitrate provides efficient nutrition for plants
Potassium nitrate is made up of 100% of the elements needed by plants. It is composed of cationic potassium (K+) and anion nitrate (NO3-). The analysis shows that the ratio of n-p205-k20 is 13-0-46(13 % N is equivalent to 62 % NO3-, 46% K2O is equivalent to 38% K+, adding up to 100% KNO3). Potassium nitrate is the only fertilizer that provides the two most abundant elements, which are found in the highest amounts in any plant.
Potassium nitrate absorption efficiency is high. The synergistic effect of K+ and NO3- helps plant roots absorb the two kinds of ions. In addition, THE affinity between negatively CHARGED nitrate and positively charged potassium ions prevents the adsorption of potassium ions by soil particles, thus PROlonging the time for potassium ions to be absorbed by plants.
Potassium nitrate can exist in the form of crystalline powder and particles, so it is suitable for a variety of fertilization methods. Efficient FERTILIZATION METHODS SUCH AS IRRIGATION FERTILIZATION, FOLIAR SPRAYING, TOPDRESSING AND SLOW CONTROL FERTILIZATION ENSURE TIMELY, APPROPRIATE AND APPROPRIATE APPLICATION OF NUTRIENTS.
Potassium nitrate crystal powder is an ideal product for irrigation fertilization and foliar spraying. Potassium nitrate particles are suitable for fractional soil fertilization (topdressing).
Polymer-coated potassium nitrate particles act as controlled release fertilizer to provide long-term nutrient supply throughout the growing period.
Potassium nitrate is an excellent source of potassium. Potassium is the main cation in plants and can neutralize many negatively charged mineral anions and organic acids. Therefore, potassium in potassium nitrate is very important for plant growth and development and normal function of tissues. Potassium (K+) plays a crucial role in many cellular metabolisms and acts as osmotic regulator involved in regulating several processes of plant water utilization.
Potassium nitrate provides hydrogen in a crop - available form. Nitrate is the form most readily absorbed by plants.
2. Potassium nitrate makes plants stronger
Potassium nitrate contains almost no chloride. When the concentration of chloride in the soil solution increases, the uptake of chloride instead of essential anions (especially nitrate) by plants will inevitably hinder plant growth. Elevated levels of chloride cause toxic reactions and may lead to reduced yields and even plant death. However, potassium nitrate contains almost no harmful chloride, and the nitrate in potassium nitrate can counteract the harmful effect of chloride.
Potassium nitrate is harmless to the roots. Unlike ammonium, hydrogen nitrate in potassium nitrate does not damage plant roots when soil temperatures rise.
Potassium nitrate improves frost resistance of plants. The potassium in potassium nitrate helps to thicken the cell wall and increase the concentration of electrolytes in the cell, thereby increasing the frost tolerance of the plant.
Potassium nitrate increases the resistance of plants to disease. The potassium in potassium nitrate eliminates the buildup of short-chain carbohydrates and nonprotein nitrogen, which themselves are breeding grounds for invasion by bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and viruses. Potassium nitrate enhances drought tolerance. Potassium nitrate helps build and expand the root system to better absorb water from the soil.
3. Potassium nitrate increases production
A good supply of potassium helps produce high yields and good crops. Therefore, POTASH APPLICATION RESULTS IN HIGHER VALUE PRODUCTS AND A HIGHER RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR GROWERS. Potassium element in potassium nitrate has a positive effect on the following quality parameters:
Fruit Size: The fruit is enlarged and uniform.
Fruit appearance: better colouring; There are few skin color blemishes or signs of damage caused by mechanical damage or disease. Nutritional value: High content of protein, oil and vitamin C.
Sensory characteristics: improve the taste and flavor quality
Extend the shelf life
Good industrial processing quality
4. Potassium nitrate reduces salinity
Nitrate in potassium nitrate can reduce the uptake of chlorine by plants from soil solutions or irrigation water. Similarly, potassium ions in potassium nitrate can reduce the toxic effects of sodium. Potassium NITRATE IS therefore HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR salt-sensitive crops and WHEN IRRIGATION WATER IS of poor quality.
5. Potassium nitrate improves the water efficiency of crops and saves water
The nitrate in potassium nitrate improves the utilization of water by plants. Plants treated with nitrate were more efficient with water than plants treated with ammonium, almost 100% efficient. This difference is especially pronounced when the concentration of potassium in the soil solution is small.
The potassium in potassium nitrate prevents water loss. Potassium is associated with the opening and closing of stomata, which minimizes transpiration and reduces water requirements. Moreover, adequate potassium in plants can improve the efficiency of soil water absorption.
Potassium nitrate prevents the accumulation of salt. Potassium nitrate avoids the need for extra irrigation to wash salt out of the soil.
6. Potassium nitrate improves soil properties
The nitrate in potassium nitrate increases the PH of the root surface. After nitrate is absorbed by roots, hydroxide ions (OH-) will be released, and a slightly alkaline environment will be formed in the root area, so as to improve the properties of acidic soil. Anvil potassium nitrate improves the availability of phosphorus and trace elements. Nitrate in potassium nitrate promotes the formation of organic acids (carboxylic acids) and their continuous penetration into the growth medium. This, in turn, helps release phosphorus and trace elements from the soil particles into the soil solution.
7. Potassium nitrate is easy to handle and apply
Potassium nitrate is highly soluble in water. Potassium nitrate can be completely and rapidly dissolved in water, making it an ideal choice for irrigation fertilization and foliar spraying. The solubility of potassium nitrate in water increases with increasing water temperature. Potassium nitrate has no moisture absorption. It can be bagged or stored in bulk without clumping or difficulty due to moisture absorption.
Potassium nitrate can be mixed with other fertilizers. There will be no clogging of the dropper or sprinkler head due to water insoluble substances, so it can be used to produce a variety of can mix products.
Unlike ammonium, the nitrate in potassium nitrate is non-volatile, so there is no need to bury it in the soil when topdressing.
