Acet K has been developed to supply potassium to plants in a highly available form that is particularly suitable for foliar application. The formulation of Acet K is based on the form "potassium acetate” which, due to its small molecular size and the plant’s natural affinity for organic carboxylic acids, has up to several times higher foliar uptake than conventional forms of potassium fertilisers. In addition, the risk of phytotoxicity when using Acet K is extremely low.
As potassium is an essential element to give all agricultural products high quality characteristics (high sugar content, intense colour, desirable taste, etc.), Acet K is a valuable fertiliser to make the plant products marketable.
Acet K also contains a high proportion of "acetate”, a natural organic acid and plant metabolite that facilitates the absorption and transport of plant nutrients into the plants, thus increasing the effectiveness of fertilisers (e.g. Acet K promotes the absorption of iron, as the combination of potassium and organic material improves the absorption and transport of this element).
Acet K promotes the tolerance of plants to unfavourable climatic conditions, as the organic matter it contains is a source of readily available stored energy.
In addition, Acet K promotes the uptake of iron, as the combination of potassium and organic matter improves the uptake and transport of this element.
When applied through the irrigation system, it regulates the pH of the soil around the root system, which in turn improves the conditions for the growth of the microorganism population.
Acet K can be applied via foliar applications or fertigation and is recommended after fruit set until harvest.
