Solu-K
A fully soluble fertiliser comprising potassium and sulphur, recommended for vegetables, fruits, vines, flowers, turf
and ornamentals.
Advantages:
Campbells Solu-K Tech Grade is a fully water-soluble, chloride free fertiliser containing two essential elements for your crops development, providing immediately available potassium and sulphur. Solu-K is a readily available fertiliser form of potassium and sulphur, which has no negative effects on the soil.
As a nitrogen free fertiliser, Solu-K is the preferred source of potassium and sulphur when nitrogen should be limited.
The salt index of Solu-K is lower than MOP (Muriate of Potash) and even lower than
NOP (Nitrate of Potash) making it desirable as a potassium fertiliser.
Application:
Solu-K is suitable for application via irrigation systems and for foliar spraying. It dissolves rapidly and completely and remains in solution ready for uptake via the roots or is taken in via leaf surfaces.
Campbells Solu-K Technical Grade is particularly important for:
- Peak demand periods for potassium
- Where potassium and sulphur are required but nitrogen nutrition is being kept to a minimum
- Fruit and vegetable size, sugar and colour development
- Flower development of fruit trees and ornamentals
Rates:
General fertigation rates for horticultural crops are between 25 to 70 kg/ha. When applying Solu-K through the irrigation system more frequent and smaller applications guarantee the nutrients are supplied to the plants without being lost due leaching or excessive rainfall. Foliar applications are recommended at a concentration of 0.5-1.0%. Avoid foliar application during extremes of climate and during flowering. The actual rates, number of applications and their timing will vary considerably for different crops and for different districts. Before application, seek advice from your Campbell’s Solu-K distributor or your local agronomist.
