Potassium Sulfate – All About Fertilizer Use, Dosage, Instructions
Positive impact on plants
The agrochemical helps to solve the following tasks:
Autumn potash feeding allows you to survive severe frost conditions and ensure that you stay alive even in thermophilic perennial crops.
Increase the vitamin content and sugar percentage in fruits, buds and other parts of the plant.
Reduce the risk of disease, especially mildew.
It helps to provide plants with potassium fertilizer that is difficult to tolerate chlorine, especially to increase the production of cruciferous plants as well as potatoes, grapes, beans and citrus fruits.
It improves the circulation of important juices in plant tissues, helps the process of nutrients entering blood vessels unimpeded and evenly distributed, thus maintaining a balance between the growth of nutrients and the growth of roots.
Stimulate bud growth, especially when applied to soil in solution.
Positive impact on plants
Most importantly, acidic soils with pH in the range of 5-8 units need it. In the aspect of regulating acid-base balance, it has excellent effect.
In other cases, potassium deficiency can be identified by the following external symptoms.
First along the edge, yellow the top of the seedlings and leaves. It seems that the shrubs are fading, gradually showing a "rusty" appearance, and then the process becomes necrotic.
The positive growth of stepchildren.
The lower leaves form spots, color changes, color brightness decreases, curl.
The fragility of stems and buds increases and they lose their natural elasticity.
The vegetative growth slowed down and the yield per unit area decreased.
In arbor crops (shrubs and trees), new leaves become smaller.
The palatability of mature fruits decreased. Take cucumber as an example, the lack of minerals is manifested in the whitening of leaves, the uneven color of fruits, and the appearance of white stripes.
As the thickness of the leaves decreases, it is possible for the vein to become yellow.
The distance between nodes is reduced.
Fundamentally, the technique began to disappear.
Most importantly, plants consume a lot of this mineral and sodium during growth and fruiting, so they need potassium sulfate and sodium - first of all beets, fruit and berry seedlings, sunflowers, etc.
