When you think about potassium (K), what comes to mind? Root growth? Photosynthesis? Resistance?
Of course – potassium helps with all of these crop issues. In general, potassium helps improve yields and quality. Specifically, as the second most-consumed nutrient, potassium is important for many plant functions – from photosynthesis and nutrient transport to water regulation and disease resistance.
At AgroLiquid, we understand the role potassium plays in crop nutrition, and we offer fertilizer designed to meet these needs.
Why potassium matters
Potassium contributes to several plant processes, including:
Photosynthesis: Potassium regulates the stomata, the pores on leaves that control gas exchange and water loss. Better regulation improves efficiency.
Nutrient transport: It helps transport nutrients and sugars through the plant for healthy growth and development.
Water: Potassium helps plants manage water intake.
Disease: The right potassium levels strengthen plant cell walls, making crops more disease and pest resistant.
AgroLiquid’s liquid potassium fertilizers are chloride- and hydroxide-free, making them a great choice for your crops and soil. First, this lessens the risk of crop injury often associated with traditional potassium fertilizers. It also promotes long-term soil health. It can be applied many ways, including broadcast, top dress, sidedress, foliar, and fertigation. AgroLiquid can also be used in conjunction with many other crop protection products.
Three forms of potassium exist in the soil – unavailable, slowly available or fixed, and readily available or exchangeable. Depending on the soil, much of the total potassium in the soil is unavailable, and plants can’t use it in this form. For slowly available or fixed, the potassium is trapped between layers of clay minerals. Meanwhile, readily available potassium is the form of it that is measured by soil tests.
AgroLiquid potassium options
To help crops, we offer potassium products designed for specific needs and growing conditions.
Sure-K
A potassium fertilizer designed to encourage growth at key reproductive stages. Its formulation promotes efficient sugar processing in plants, leading to larger, higher-quality yields.
• Provides sustained potassium nutrients at key reproductive stages
• Stimulates growth of fruit, seeds, and tubers
• Chloride- and hydroxide-free
• Lower concentrations with excellent results
• Flexible application reduces manpower required
Kalibrate
This fertilizer combines potassium with nitrogen and sulfur to support early-season growth. Kalibrate is formulated to resist freezing, making it good for cold climates and early- or late-season use.
• Supports early-season delivery
• Resistant to freezing
• Easy to use with other nutrients and crop protection products
• Chloride- and hydroxide-free to protect from salt toxicity
• Adds crop-available sulfur as well as nitrogen and potassium
• Multiple application methods
• Suitable for corn, soybeans, sugarbeets, wheat, and other row crops
Kapitalize
Kapitalize is a potassium solution with added calcium and sulfur, and it’s designed for foliar application during reproductive stages. It promotes strong plant cell growth and improves resistance to stress, drought, and disease.
• Can be foliar applied with little risk of tissue damage
• Provides needed nutrition when the plant needs it – during the development of seeds or fruits
• Promotes strong plant cell growth
• Improves resistance to stress, drought and disease
• Easy to apply with other crop nutrients
PrimAgro K
This product provides potassium, nitrogen, and sulfur and also renews the natural potassium processing cycle in the soil by restoring beneficial microbes. These microbes decompose organic matter, releasing potassium and making it more accessible to plants.
• Provides essential nitrogen, potassium and sulfur
• Restores beneficial soil bacteria
• Allows the soil to naturally retain plant-usable nutrients
• Improves soil health and longevity
• Balances nutrient profile in soil
