Why potassium nitrate
Potassium nitrate supplies the two nutrients a fruiting crop draws on most. The plant takes up nitrate and potassium together, and the nitrate also helps it absorb calcium and magnesium.
- Dissolves faster and more completely than any other potassium source.
- High purity and a low salt index, so no leaf or root scorch at recommended rates.
- Suits chloride-sensitive crops and every soil type and growing medium.
- Compatible with most liquid fertilizers and pesticides in the tank.
- In hydroponics, the nitrate does not compete with calcium at the roots.
- Can be used through drip, as a foliar spray, or by soil application.
