This thorough crop guide covers all the aspects of cucumber plant nutrition: growth stages, how to grow cucumbers, fertilization recommendation and much more
Abstract: Fertigation increases efficient use of water and fertilizers, produces higher yields, improves quality of the production and protects environment. To ensure uniform distribution of water and fertilizers, the irrigation system must be properly designed and operated.
Healthy plant growth requires large amounts of nitrogen and potassium, so these elements must be supplied regularly. Multi-K™, Haifa’s flagship potassium nitrate brand, is the basis of a whole line of plain and enriched products, designed to provide optimal plant nutrition under all growth conditions.
The benefits of Multi-K™ potassium nitrate
♦ Stronger & healthier plants
♦ Higher yield and better quality
♦ Water saving
♦ Counteracting salinity damages
Multi-K™ is a necessity for chloride-sensitive crops.
The presence of nitrate in Multi-K™ enables the plant to minimize its uptake of chloride, whenever this damaging anion is present in the soil solution or in the irrigation water.
Multi-K™ is suitable for Nutrigation™/ Fertigation and foliar application. Multi-K™ Prills are ideal for direct soil application. The Multi-K™ line includes a complete range of products addressing a variety of crops, growth conditions and applications. How to choose the right potassium nitrate product for your crops?
The roles of Potassium (K) in the plant: Potassium (K) is a macro-nutrient, one of elements that the plant consumes in large quantities. It has many vital functions, among which:
Formation of sugars and starch
Activation of enzymatic reaction
Keeping turgor
Regulation of the opening of leaf stomata
Building cell walls
Thus, potassium improves plant durability and yield quality:
