Haifa Turbo-K™: a new grade of complex NPK granule generated from Multi-K™ Potassium Nitrate. The ultimate solution for maximizing yield and plant strength
In one uniform granule, your plant is provided with highly valuable nutrients combining the Multi-K™ potassium nitrate benefits plus essential macro and micro nutrients. Haifa Turbo-K™ complex fertilizer is ideal for open field, greenhouses, orchards and turf production. Geared fertilizer technology to maximize crop revenue.
The benefits of Haifa Turbo-K™ complex fertilizers
Top quality K source, based on Haifa’s Multi-K™
Contains carefully balanced K, Mg and S
Contains an optimal balance of ammonium to nitrate
Low in sodium and chloride
Accurate sulfur content for low environmental impact
Homogeneous composition in each granule, ensures uniform plant nutrition
Adequate potassium nutrition is essential for healthy growth, for the plant's strength and for excellent yield quality.
The potassium in Haifa Turbo-K™ is derived from Multi-K™ potassium nitrate, the best source of potassium for plants.
Combating soil salinity
High soil salinity impairs water uptake by the plant, thus disturbing critical physiological processes and consequently retarding growth and reducing yields. In addition, the main ions that produce salinity in the soil, sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-), have specific toxic effects on plants.
Haifa Turbo-K™ is low in sodium and chloride, and possesses a low salt index. This makes it ideal for salt-sensitive crops and for use under hot, dry climates, where salinity problems are more severe.
During the growth season of 2014 a trial was carried out in Goiás, Brazil, to study the effect of the enrichment of sugarcane nutrition with mid-season foliar sprays of Poly-Feed™ Mar and Haifa Bonus™. The results confirm that the foliar nutrition improved yield and increased the farmer’s net profit.
Trial setup
The trial was carried out in a trial station of the Association of Sugarcane farmers in Vicentinópolis, GO, Brazil.

CoteN™ is Haifa's polymer coated Urea, set for 2 or 4 months longevity (@21C). CoteN™ is perfect crops with special emphasis on N management in the soil, such arable crops.
CoteN™ is part of the Multicote™ range of Controlled Release Fertilizer (CRF), developed by Haifa Group. An accurate fertilizer release over time, governed only by soil temperature, make CoteN™ a precise and reliable N source for the crops.
The soil temperature factor
When the weather gets colder, the N release rate becomes slower. This meets the decrease in nutrients consumption by the plant. This CRF technology ensures both precise plant feeding, and efficient nutrition with s minimum loss of N to the soil.
Once the weather gets wormer and plants demands for nutrients increase, and so the release rate of Urea from CoteN™.
Nitrogen is known to be illusive Nutrient. Urea, can Volatilize as Ammonia, or can be transform to Ammonium (NH4+) , then to Nitrite (NO2-) and Nitrate (NO3-). Ammonium (NH4+) can be uptake by the roots, and it can also be tied to the soil particles as they are negatively charged. Nitrate (NO3-), due to the negative charge cannot be tied to soil particles. It can be uptake by the roots, or it can be leached to groundwater. The speed of all these transitions is depends of the temperatures, water regime, soil type and the right bacterial groups present in the soil. CoteN™, Controlled release fertilizer is affected only by temperature. Similar to the effect that temperature has on plants.
The CoteN™ Advantages
Proven Cost effectiveness
A substantial reduced N level applied to the soil
Single application, no need to fertilize again during the season.
Save on labor and time
Lower fertilization costs per area
Precise plant nutrition feeding
Accurate N release following plant's nutrient uptake demand
Ensures constant N feed regardless of rainfall and irrigation rates
A sustainable solution
Prevent nitrogen leaching to groundwater and keep a sustainable agricultural soil
NEW: CoteN™ Mix
Haifa also introduced the CoteN™Mix concept: a wide range of CoteN™ based blends, bringing the CoteN™ added values to mixes of uncoated fertilizers to complete the P & K needs.
The winter season of 2016-2017 was quite dry in Spain. A trial that that was conducted by Haifa Iberia compared different fertilization treatments in winter wheat. The comparison was between fertilization with:
