Product Details
Lara Extra Potassium Nitrate: A compound fertilizer containing the main essential elements: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. It is characterized by a high concentration of potassium in the form of potassium nitrate. Potassium nitrate is known for its rapid and strong effect compared to other potassium sources. Upon application through fertilization or foliar spraying, it induces significant physiological changes in plants and fruit trees. It is also used as a stimulant to break dormancy in buds as seen in peaches, pears, apples, and grapes.
Lara Extra Potassium Nitrate: Known for its rapid effect due to the potassium content, which plays a key role in several metabolic processes at the cellular level, such as maintaining water balance within cells, enhancing flowering levels, improving fruit set ratios, increasing fruit size and sugar concentration, and enhancing market quality by increasing fruit firmness, shelf life, and color through promoting the formation of natural pigments.
Lara Extra Potassium Nitrate: A highly soluble fertilizer with 100% water solubility, free from impurities, chlorine, or harmful heavy metals, and is manufactured with high precision and global expertise using premium-quality raw materials.
Lara Extra Potassium Nitrate: Enriched with specific additives that cause significant improvements in flowering rates and speed of fruit set, leading to larger fruits. The quick results are noticeable shortly after the initial fertilization or foliar spraying, which differentiates it from other potassium sources.
Lara Extra Potassium Nitrate: Highly adaptable for both soil fertilization and foliar spraying, compatible with all modern irrigation systems, including drip irrigation networks for open fields and protected agriculture, as well as mobile sprinkler systems and central pivot irrigation systems (Pivots).
Lara Extra Potassium Nitrate: Supports plants during the flowering stage by enhancing the emergence of floral buds. Potassium is a crucial element that works in conjunction with light, temperature, humidity, and internal hormonal balance to control the bud differentiation and emergence stage. This critical phase in the plant’s lifecycle precedes flowering, aiming to convert vegetative buds into floral buds, ensuring abundant and strong flowering, high fruit set levels, and ideal fruit formation.
Recommended Crops for Application:
- Field crops: Cereals (wheat, corn, rice), tuber crops (sugar beet, potato, taro, sweet potato).
- Legume crops: (peanuts, fava beans, peas, beans).
- Bulb crops: (onion, garlic).
- Oil crops: (sunflower).
- Vegetable crops:
- Solanaceous family: (tomato, potato, eggplant, pepper).
- Cucurbit family: (cucumber, zucchini, watermelon, cantaloupe).
- Strawberries and fruit orchards:
- Pome fruits: (apple, pear).
- Stone fruits: (peach, apricot, plum).
- Grapes, citrus, olives, mango, avocado, and others.
Application Rates and Uses:
Soil Fertilization via Drip Irrigation Systems:
Open Field Cultivation:
- Application Rate: 2-3 kg per acre for vegetable and field crops and newly planted fruit seedlings.
- Adjustment: Depends on crop type and growth stage.
Protected Cultivation (Greenhouses):
- Application Rate: 1 kg per greenhouse of 400 square meters, depending on the crop type and plant density.
- Gradual Increase: Dosage increases gradually with subsequent growth stages.
Fruit Orchards:
- Application Rate: 3-5 kg per acre in spring, during early root growth cycles preceding vegetative and flowering growth stages.
- Support: Followed by additional fertilization after fruit set and during fruit growth stages until maturity.
Foliar Spraying Application:
For Vegetable and Field Crops:
- Application Rate: 1 kg per acre.
For Fruit Orchards:
- Application Rate: 150-250 grams per 100 liters of water.
- Optimal Timing:
- At the beginning of spring, before the flowering stage, coinciding with the start of sap flow, bud break, and floral bud emergence.
- Continues until fruit setting to enhance fruit quality, size, color, and sugar levels.
- Dormancy Breaker:
- Used as an alternative to Dormex for breaking dormancy and promoting bud emergence in deciduous fruit trees at a rate of 1.5-3 kg per 100 liters of water.
Available Packaging:
- Pack Sizes: 10 kg packages.
