I-Potassium Nitrate ku-Potassium Fertilizer
Abalimi bayakwazisa ukuvundisa nge-KNO₃ ikakhulukazi ezimeni lapho kudingeka umthombo wezakhi oncibilika kakhulu, ongena-chloride. Emhlabathini onjalo, yonke i-N itholakala ngokushesha ukuze imuke izitshalo njenge-nitrate, engadingi isenzo esengeziwe se-microbial kanye nokuguqulwa kwenhlabathi. Abalimi bezitshalo zenani eliphezulu zemifino nezithelo kwesinye isikhathi bakhetha ukusebenzisa umthombo wokudla okusekelwe ku-nitrate emzamweni wokuthuthukisa isivuno nekhwalithi. I-Potassium nitrate iqukethe ingxenye ephezulu kakhulu ka-K, enesilinganiso esingu-N ukuya ku-K cishe kokukodwa kuya kokuthathu. Izitshalo eziningi zinesidingo se-K esiphezulu futhi zingasusa i-K eningi noma ngaphezulu kune-N ekuvuneni.
Ukufakwa kwe-KNO₃ emhlabathini kwenziwa ngaphambi kwenkathi yokukhula noma njengesengezo ngesikhathi sokukhula. Isixazululo esihlanjululwe kwesinye isikhathi sifafazwa emaqabunga esitshalo ukuze kukhuthazwe izinqubo zomzimba noma ukunqoba ukushoda kwezakhi. Ukufakwa kwamahlamvu ka-K ngesikhathi sokukhula kwezithelo kuyazuzisa ezinye izitshalo, njengoba lesi sigaba sokukhula sivame ukuhambisana nokufunwa okuphezulu kuka-K ngesikhathi sokuncipha kokusebenza kwezimpande nokuthathwa kwezakhi. Ibuye isetshenziselwe ukukhiqizwa kwezitshalo ezibamba ukushisa kanye nesiko le-hydroponic. ingasetshenziswa njengomanyolo oyisisekelo, ukugqoka okuphezulu, umanyolo wembewu kanye nezinto ezingavuthiwe zokukhiqiza umanyolo oyinhlanganisela; esetshenziswa kakhulu elayisi, ukolweni, ummbila, amabele, ukotini, izithelo, imifino kanye nezinye izitshalo zokudla kanye nezitshalo zomnotho; esetshenziswa kabanzi enhlabathini ebomvu kanye nenhlabathi ephuzi , Inhlabathi ensundu, inhlabathi ephuzi ye-fluvo-aquic, inhlabathi emnyama, inhlabathi yesinamoni, inhlabathi ensomi, inhlabathi ye-albic nezinye izimfanelo zomhlabathi.
Kokubili i-N ne-K idingwa izitshalo ukuze zisekele ikhwalithi yokuvuna, ukwakheka kwamaprotheni, ukumelana nezifo nokusebenzisa kahle kwamanzi. Ngakho-ke, ukusekela ukukhula okunempilo, abalimi bavame ukufaka i-KNO₃ emhlabathini noma ngohlelo lokunisela ngesikhathi sokukhula.
I-Potassium nitrate isetshenziswa ngokuyinhloko lapho ukwakheka kwayo okuyingqayizivele kanye nezakhiwo kunganikeza izinzuzo ezithile kubalimi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kulula ukuyiphatha nokuyifaka, futhi ihambisana nezinye izivundisi eziningi, okuhlanganisa nezivundisi ezikhethekile zezitshalo eziningi ezikhethekile zenani eliphezulu, kanye nalezo ezisetshenziswa ezitshalweni zokusanhlamvu nefayibha.
Ukuncibilika okuphezulu kwe-KNO₃ ngaphansi kwezimo ezifudumele kuvumela isixazululo esigxile kakhulu kunezinye izivundisi ezijwayelekile ze-K. Kodwa-ke, abalimi kufanele baphathe ngokucophelela amanzi ukuze i-nitrate ingahambi ngaphansi kwendawo yezimpande.
