The application of plant nutrients through the irrigation water (Nutrigation™) enables perfect match of plant nutrition to the crop's growth requirements, which results in high nutrient use efficiency. However, to gain the full benefits of Nutrigation™ it is important to provide pure plant nutrients only.
When you apply 1000 kg Multi-K™, you also enrich plant nutrition with almost 300 kilograms of nitrogen, which are all required by the plant. If the same amount of potassium is supplied as SOP or potash, significant amounts of elements which are not consumed* by the plants are added to the soil – contaminating it and increasing its salinity.
*Sulfur is a vital element for plants, but the quantities provided by the SOP considerably exceed the demand.
