Potassium chloride
FIELD OF APPLICATION
Potassium chloride is used in nutrient solutions to supply the plant nutrients potassium and chloride.
When nitrogen supply needs to be limited, e.g. at flowering, fruiting and at the end of the growing season, potassium chloride can be used in tomato cultivation to add chloride and increase the potassium content without affecting the nitrogen supply. Chloride is now considered to benefit both the generative growth of tomato plants and the taste of the fruit.
WHY SHOULD I USE POTASH
Potassium improves the plant's tolerance to drought, frost, pests and thus increases yields. The ability to control the potassium/nitrogen ratio also allows for better quality, shelf life and higher sugar content in the plant.
Chloride is sometimes considered a micronutrient, but in most crops it does not need to be added as sufficient levels are present in soil and water. In tomato cultivation, it should be added for flavor and for growth management.
Description of the project
NPK 0-0-50 + Cl 45
Benefits for the grower
- Improves taste and harvest in tomato cultivation
- Affordable potassium fertilizer
DESCRIPTION
Crystalline potassium chloride for use in nutrient solutions.
RECOMMENDATION
Dosage for tomato cultivation
Drip irrigation: up to 25 kg/1000 l stock solution with additional dilution of 1:100 before watering (giving 112 mg chloride/liter).
We recommend a water analysis of minerals to check that the nutrient solution contains the correct amount of plant nutrients. It is also important to analyze recirculated nutrient solutions to be able to adjust both plant nutrition and alkalinity before the nutrient solution goes back to the crop again.
