What kind of fertilizer is Potassium Acetate?

Introduction

Potassium plays a crucial role in plant chemistry and physiology. Not only does potassium stimulate early growth, but it plays a vital role in the movement of nutrients, water, and carbohydrates within the plant’s system. Because not all soil naturally contains the ideal levels of potassium, potassium fertilizer helps to increase protein production, promote the efficiency of water use, and enhance the plant's natural defense against insects and other threats to crop failure. Because potassium is a vital nutrient, growers must use quality potassium fertilizer to support their crops' growth.

Potassium Acetate Fertilizer

Potassium Acetate has proven benefits beyond other K sources for liquid fertilizer products. Acetate is the most common organic anion in nature, which leads to enhanced uptake and more efficient plant use of K.

Safe, biodegradable volatility reduction agent with dicambae

Advantage

Potassium Acetate is a new type of liquid potassium that has significant advantages and benefits over other foliar-applied potassium sources. Unlike other liquid potassium sources such as nitrates, hydroxides, thiosulfates, or carbonates, Potassium Acetate has a near-neutral pH and is not caustic or corrosive, resulting in safer foliar applications and less stress on the plant. Plants absorb potassium from Potassium Acetate much higher proportions than from all other sources, including nitrates and sulfates. Potassium Acetate is a hybrid of an inorganic salt and an organic acid, making it a truly unique foliar fertilizer.
