Potassium nitrate

Why professionals choose Potassium Nitrate from PRAYON / KEMAPCO

When it comes to improving the marketability of vegetables, fruits, and berries, growers rely on potassium supplementation. Potassium nitrate is the gold standard for plant nutrition during the active fruit-filling phase. This product, from the partnership of PRAYON S.A. and KEMAPCO, is a high-purity crystalline fertilizer that is 100% water-soluble, making it an essential choice for fertigation systems.

Application and expected results

The primary goal of this fertilizer is to provide the crop with readily available nitrogen during the early growth stages and a powerful potassium boost in the second half of the cycle. In practice, it works as follows:

• Potatoes and vegetables: Application promotes the accumulation of starch and sugars, which directly improves storage life and flavor.
• Grapes and berries: Potassium strengthens cell walls, helping berries resist cracking and rot during ripening.
• Fruit crops: Improves fruit coloration and shipping durability.

With a potassium content (K2O) of 46% and nitrogen (N) at 10-15%, this product is perfect for correcting nutrient deficiencies during periods of peak demand. Its crystalline form ensures no sediment remains in the lines, which is critical for drip irrigation systems to prevent nozzle clogging.

Fertigation benefits

Potassium nitrate from this manufacturer is highly compatible with most water-soluble fertilizers; however, it is best applied when the plant's potassium requirement exceeds its nitrogen need. Unlike chloride-based fertilizers, this product does not cause soil salinity and is safe for chlorine-sensitive crops. Delivering the nutrient through drip irrigation ensures precise placement in the root zone, minimizing waste and maximizing nutrient uptake efficiency.
