Product analysis

Application Recommendations

Nutrigation

It is recommended to use MKP as a source of phosphorus and potassium where nitrogen levels should be kept low.Because of its unique characteristics, MKP can be applied through any irrigation system and on any growth medium. Unlike phosphoric acid,MKP is moderately acidic.

Therefore, it is not corrosive to fertilizer pumps or to irrigation equipment. 

Compatibility

MKP is compatible with most water-soluble fertilizers, except for fertilizers containing calcium (Ca⁺⁺)or magnesium (Mg⁺⁺). To apply MKP in combination with calcium or magnesium fertilizers, use two fertilizer tanks. If only a single fertilizer tank is available, apply those fertilizers at different times. 

Quantitative Nutrigation

Each kilogram of MKP in the tank provides 520 grams of P2O5 (230g P) and 340 grams of K2O  (280g K).

Proportional Nutrigation

The phosphorus and potassium concentration in the irrigation water depends on the quantity of MKP in the tank mix, and on the injection ratio. Use the fol owing table to calculate the quantity of MKP and the injection ratio needed to reach your target concentration in the irrigation water.

Foliar Feeding

Foliar application of MKP is an optional supplement to soil fertilization at growth stages when high levels of phosphorus and potassium are required. At early season foliar application with MKP promotes the establishment of healthy root system.  MKP is an efficient suppressor of powdery mildew in susceptible crops (deciduous, vineyards,mango, cucumbers, melons, roses and others). Application of 1% MKP mixed with systemic

fungicides improves the efficiency and enable to reduce application rates of the latter.  MKP is compatible with most commonly used pesticides and fertilizers. However, it should not be mixed with calcium or magnesium fertilizers. Also, iron, manganese, zinc and copper must be in the form of chelates. 

Field-crops and vegetables: On young leaves, spray concentration of 1.0% MKP is recommended in most crops. On mature leaves and more tolerant crops, concentration of 2.0% may be applied. 

Fruit-trees:

It is advisable to confirm compatibility of your intended spray-mix by preparing a sample of the spray materials at their recommended concentrations in order to rule out the possibility of a detrimental cross reaction. This mixture should be sprayed onto small area prior to commercial treatment, in order to assess whether an adverse effect occurs.
