Description
Recommendations for use:
– for preventive and intervention supplementation when a deficit becomes apparent.
– where the natural uptake of nutrients from the soil is impaired, e.g. by adverse weather conditions
– in crops with high nitrogen/potassium requirements.
– to increase resistance to stress caused by drought, disease and the consequences of insect foraging
– to optimise bud formation, flowering and fruiting processes
– to improve the size and quality of the crop, to improve the taste of fruit and vegetables and to improve storage quality.

The role of potassium in crops:
- is responsible for the quantity and quality of the yield
- participates in the regulation of nitrogen uptake
- is responsible for the water management in plants
- contributes to building resilience to drought conditions
- promotes the development of the root system and the uptake of other nutrients from the soil
- increases the frost resistance of plants
- is involved in the formation of starches and sugars.
The role of nitrogen in crops:
- building material for proteins and nucleic acids
- ensures proper development of plants: roots and above ground parts
- important constituent of chlorophyll, vitamins, hormones and DNA
- has a beneficial effect on optimum vegetation length: flowering and yielding
- improves water management in plants, increases drought tolerance.
- stimulates the development of the root system and increases the absorption of nutrients from the soil
Potassium deficiencies result in:
- Inability to defend themselves against drought stress: plants lose their turgor and start to wilt
- Yellowing of leaves progressing from the edges. Over time, the leaves wilt, turn brown and die
- The plants are smaller, with a shorter and more flaccid stem
- Delayed flowering, flowers are noticeably smaller
- Limited ear and cob formation, poor grain pouring
Nitrogen deficiencies result in:
- Light green color of leaves and plant stems in extreme deficiency turning into yellow discoloration of leaves
- Abnormal, reduced plant habit
- Poorly formed fruit, pods, or ears
- Accelerated maturation
- Increased susceptibility to fungal diseases and the effects of insect feeding
Dosage and timing of application:
| Crop | Dose (l/ha) | Number and Timing of Treatments |

| Onion, Leek | 3-5 | 2-3 treatments: from the 3-4 leaf stage (BBCH 13-25) or 2 weeks after planting, at intervals of 7-14 days |
| Hops | 3 | 3 treatments: during the period of intensive growth |
| Fruit Trees and Shrubs | 3 | 3 treatments: from the pink/white bud stage (BBCH 51) |
| Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli | 3-5 | 2-3 treatments: from the 4-6 leaf stage (BBCH 15-19), at intervals of 7-14 days |
| Maize | 2-3 | 2 treatments: from the 4 to the 8 leaf stage (BBCH 15-18) |
| Carrot, Parsley | 3-5 | 2-3 treatments: from the tuberous root formation stage (BBCH 41-50) until 3 weeks before harvest, at intervals of 7-14 days |
| Cucumber, Tomato | 3-5 | 2-3 treatments: from the 3-4 leaf stage (BBCH 13-25) (or 2 weeks after planting), at intervals of 7-10 days |
| Oilseed Rape | 2 | 3 treatments: from the start of growth to the beginning of bud development (BBCH 30-50) |
| Cereals | 2 | 2-3 treatments: after the start of growth until the end of earing (BBCH 25-59) |
| Potatoes | 2-3 | 3 treatments: first – during intensive leaf and stem development (BBCH 19-49), second – at the beginning of flowering (BBCH 51 -55), third – 12 days after the second one |
Attention: The fertiliser must not be mixed with phosphate fertilisers.
