Fertigation recipes for selected crops in the Mediterranean region

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.

Compared to a local potassic fertilizer, Multi-K proved superiority by improving frost hardiness and marketability  

Cucumber fertilizer requirements for various growing methods

Either grown in open field, greenhouse or tunnel, Haifa's fertilizers supply all the required nutrients in order to improve yield and marketability

 

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.

 

How the potassium in Multi-K™ helps your plants?

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.

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:

  • Improved drought resistance
  • Increased winter hardiness
  • Better disease resistance
  • Higher yield and better quality
  • Longer storage life
