MACFOS

Phosphorus-Potassium Foundation for Crop Yield

The “Makfos” mineral fertilizer by Astra Industrial Complex (Saudi Arabia) is a concentrated nutrition formula designed for intensive farming. The primary function of this product is to optimize physiological processes during critical growth phases, when the demand for highly available phosphorus and potassium reaches its peak.

Technological Profile of the Product

The product is based on a balanced combination of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). It is not merely a nutrient complex, but a tool for managing crop metabolism. Phosphorus acts as a primary driver for root system development, which is crucial for corn and small grains, allowing the plant to effectively utilize the soil profile. Meanwhile, potassium regulates water balance and activates carbohydrate synthesis, which directly converts into grain filling and increased weight in vegetable crops.

Practical Application and Effectiveness

• Vegetable and Fruit Crops: The use of the product promotes better fruit ripening, as well as increased sugar content and shelf life.
• Potatoes: Stimulation of starch accumulation and formation of marketable tubers of uniform shape.
• Corn and Grains: Strengthening of the stem, acceleration of photosynthesis, and increased resistance to abiotic stress.

The product comes in a finely dispersed powder form, ensuring high dissolution speed when preparing stock solutions. “Makfos” is intended exclusively for foliar application. This method of application ensures direct access of nutrients to the leaf surface, bypassing the process of phosphorus fixation by the soil absorption complex. With a safety class of 4, the product combines high agronomic efficiency with ease of logistics, making it an optimal solution for adjusting mineral nutrition at key stages of vegetation.
