Product description
A fully water-soluble fertilizer, a highly efficient source of phosphorus and potassium for plants.
As a nitrogen-free fertilizer, MKP is the preferred source of phosphorus and potassium when nitrogen fertilization should be limited. For example, early in the growing season, when phosphorus and potassium are needed at high rates for the establishment of root system. Application of MKP at the productive stages of sugar-rich fruit crops helps to increase sugar content and to improve the quality of these.
MKP can be applied in combination with other fertilizers to meet crop nutritional needs throughout the growth cycle. Its high purity and water-solubility make MKP an ideal fertilizer for fertigation and for foliar application.
Additionally, MKP is suitable for preparation of fertilizer blends and production of liquid fertilizers.
Foliar application of MKP is an optional supplement to soil fertilization at growth stages when high levels of phosphorus and potassium are required. An early season foliar application with MKP promotes the establishment of a healthy root system. Foliar application of MKP, initiated before or after exposure to heavily diseased plants as the source of inoculum, was effective in controlling powdery mildew.
MKP is compatible with most commonly used pesticides and fertilizers. However, it should not be mixed with calcium or magnesium fertilizers. Iron, manganese, zinc and copper must be in the form of chelates.
Phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5) - 52%, Potassium oxide (K2O) - 34%
On young leaves, spray concentration of 10g MKP/liter of water is recommended in most crops. On mature leaves and more tolerant crops, concentration of 20g MKP/liter of water may be applied.
Citrus: 10-30g/liter of water : 2-3 successive monthly sprays at early fruit development, starting 1 month after fruit-set
Mango: 10-20g/liter of water : 2-4 applications after fruit-set.
Grape: 10-20g/liter of water : 1 application during fruit-set, 1 during ripening
Banana: 10-20g/liter of water : 2-6 applications with the application of pesticides.
Strawberry: 10g/liter of water (transplanting phase), 20-30g/liter of water (generative & mature phase).
