POTASSIUM NITRATE, KNO3 13-0-46

Characteristics of nitrato di potassio

Improves water use efficiency

Potassium nitrate allows you to optimize the use of water : in fact, plants fed with nitrates use water twice as efficiently as those fed with ammoniacal nitrogen; adequate potassium nutrition of the plant increases its efficiency of water absorption from the soil; potassium is responsible for the opening and closing of the stomata ; an adequate supply of potassium optimizes the plant's transpiration and reduces its water needs; finally, the use of potassium nitrate as the main K resource eliminates the need for further irrigation to remove undesirable salts from the root zone .

Prevents the accumulation of salts in the soil

The synergistic relationship between potassium and nitrate promotes the rapid absorption of both ions from the soil by the roots.

The dominant presence of N in the form of nitrate (NO 3 -) in the root zone stimulates the absorption of K by the roots, and in turn, K stimulates the absorption of NO 3 -.

The reduced salinity eliminates the need for additional irrigation to leach salts from the soil.

Counteracts the negative effects of sodium

Therefore potassium nitrate is highly recommended for salinity-sensitive crops , and when growing in saline soil and irrigation water conditions.

Reduces chlorine absorption

Increasing NO 3 – levels in the root zone limits Cl – absorption .

Increases the availability of phosphorus and microelements

The nitrate in potassium nitrate increases the formation of organic acids (carboxylates) and their emission into the growing medium.

This facilitates the release of phosphates and microelements from the soil particles to the circulating solution.

Increase yields

• Potassium nitrate increases the efficiency of CO 2 assimilation thanks to the optimal functioning of the stomata, resulting in a higher production of sugars.
• Larger leaf surface area, higher chlorophyll concentration and longer leaf efficiency contribute to higher fruit quality .
• Potassium is essential for directing the flow of sugars from leaves to fruits or grains.
• It makes the conversion of inorganic N from nitrates to proteins more efficient .
• Potassium nitrate strengthens the cell wall barrier and stimulates the cell's metabolism, with a rapid turnover of intermediate metabolites, reducing the availability of substrates for pathogens.
• With its use, less water is required per kilogram of crop production.
• Potassium nitrate is essential for any sustainable fertilization program.
• The balanced management of nutritional elements reduces the quantities of fertilizers applied per unit of surface area and per unit of production, increasing the farmer's profit.

Increases the quality of the harvest

• Numerous tests have shown that potassium nitrate is a useful tool for increasing fruit size and improving uniformity.
• Potassium nitrate increases the content of nutritional elements beneficial to human health such as potassium or antioxidants such as Vitamin C.
• Uniform color and absence of defects make fruits and vegetables more attractive, guaranteeing a better market price.
• Potassium nitrate stimulates ripening processes , improving the flavor of fruits which contain more aromatic compounds and more soluble sugars.
• Well-balanced specialty crop nutrition programs that include potassium nitrate increase tolerance to biotic and environmental stresses during the production cycle allowing for lower product losses.
• Higher antioxidant content , disease resistance, optimal dry matter content and humidity control improve the preservation qualities of the product, extending its shelf life.

Potassium nitrate, nitrato di potassio is an important source of nitrogen and potassium , two macroelements essential for plant life. Nitrogen (N) is one of the fundamental constituents of amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids, and therefore is essential for plant growth. In nitric form , it is not subject to volatilization and in the soil it strengthens the absorption of other cations.

Potassium (K) has a decisive role in the quality and production yield : it promotes the development of the plant as it regulates the opening and closing of the stomata, activates numerous enzymatic systems and participates in the transport of carbohydrates and the synthesis of proteins. It also allows for more efficient use of water by helping to maintain solution potential in the phloem and cells in general.

In addition to providing these two fundamental elements, in a ratio that is optimal for the majority of crops in the production phase, when potassium needs are greatest, potassium nitrate offers other undeniable advantages.

First of all, potassium (K + ) and nitrate (NO 3 – ) ions are completely assimilated by the plant according to its needs.

This allows for reduced or no use of alternative sources of potassium such as sulphates and chlorides, which accumulate in the soil, increasing its salinity.

In fact, nitrato di potassio if expressed as required by the regulations on fertilizers in the form of nitric nitrogen (N) and potassium oxide (K 2 O) has a title of 13-0-46: but in reality it is a pure salt (KNO 3 ) which dissociates into the two components K + and NO 3 – , respectively 38% and 62%.

Therefore, since 38% + 62% = 100%, it is clear that everything we distribute as nitrato di potassio is available to plants, demonstrating its very high efficiency.

Furthermore, nitrato di potassio has a very high solubility in water, and for this reason it is a fundamental resource in fertigation , both used as such and as a constituent of other water-soluble products, such as complete crystalline NPK fertilizers.

Not only does it not provide chlorides , but rather it prevents their absorption, thanks to the antagonism that the nitrate exerts towards the chlorine present in the soil.

On the contrary, nitric nitrogen favors the absorption of the associated potassium ion , further improving the effectiveness of its use.
