Monopotassium phosphate
FIELD OF APPLICATION
MKP is intended for the application of phosphorus to plants by foliar fertilization and to nutrient solutions for irrigation.
WHY SHOULD I USE MONOPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE
Phosphorus is an important building block as it is part of cell membranes and DNA. It is also part of the molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is needed for all energy-consuming processes in cells.
As phosphorus is often difficult for the plant to take up through the roots, especially at unfavourable pH values and at low temperatures, foliar fertilization is a good way to apply phosphorus. There are many varieties of phosphorus fertilizers with ammonium, potassium, magnesium or calcium to choose from. Plant sap analysis is a good tool to determine which substance besides phosphorus is most needed by the plant.
Description of the project
DESCRIPTION
MKP (monopotassium phosphate) is a water-soluble phosphorus fertilizer.
RECOMMENDATION
Weakly pH-lowering in nutrient solutions and spray liquids.
Can be mixed with most other fertilizers, but always test small amounts first. May form precipitates with calcium and iron. In fertilizer tanks for nutrient solutions, do not mix with calcium nitrate/lime nitrate in the same stock solution, as it may cause precipitation of calcium phosphate.
Nutrient solutions normal dose: up to 200 mg/l nutrient solution or 20 kg/1000 l stock solution (at a dilution of 1:100). Usually used in combination with other fertilizers.
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 in order to adjust both plant nutrients and alkalinity before the nutrient solution is returned to the crop.
Foliar fertilization dose: 10 kg/ha in at least 200 l water/ha.
Do not spray directly before or in connection with sunshine. 2-4 hours drying time gives optimal nutrient uptake.
For young and fragile plants do not use more than 0.5 kg/100 l spray solution.
We recommend plant sap analysis to determine the need for which plant nutrients need to be applied as foliar fertilization. The analysis can be repeated at the earliest two weeks after treatment to assess whether the treatment needs to be repeated.
