Potassium formate (For Foliar Fertilizer) in Ahmedabad
Potassium Formate (For Foliar Fertilizer) is a high-solubility, organic-based potassium source ($HCOOK$) specifically designed for rapid nutrient absorption through plant leaves. Innovacorp India Pvt. Ltd. supplies this premium grade to Ahmedabad’s agricultural and horticultural sectors, providing a superior alternative to traditional potassium salts due to its low salt index and exceptional bioavailability.
In the fertile belts surrounding Ahmedabad, Sanand, and Kheda, our Foliar Grade Potassium Formate is highly valued by commercial growers for its ability to quickly correct potassium deficiencies without causing leaf burn. Because the formate anion is a natural plant metabolite, it allows for faster penetration of potassium ions through the leaf cuticle, promoting better fruit quality, enhanced stress resistance, and improved water regulation in crops across Gujarat’s diverse climatic conditions.
Why Potassium Formate for Foliar Application?
Potassium plays a critical role in plant physiology, influencing water regulation, photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and crop stress resistance. When applied as a foliar spray, potassium formate ensures fast and efficient nutrient uptake due to its unique molecular structure.
Potassium can adjust the colloidal state of cell protoplasts, increase the intensity of photosynthesis, and promote the formation of starch and sugar in crops. It has the effects of improving cold tolerance, drought tolerance, disease resistance and lodging resistance for certain crops, fruits and vegetables. Appropriate supply of potassium fertilizer can also promote the absorption and utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus by crops, and increase crop yield and fruit setting rate.
When crops and fruit trees are lacking in potassium, they will manifest as physiological exhaustion. Within two or three days, the leaves of the plants will rapidly turn yellow or red, and then wither and fall off. The stems die, commonly known as red leaf stem blight. Therefore, before crops, vegetables and fruit trees are seriously lacking in potassium, effective potassium must be supplemented, and foliar spraying of potassium is the most economical and effective way to supplement potassium.
Potassium fertilizers currently used in the market are generally potassium sulfate, potassium nitrate, potassium chloride and their compound fertilizers. What kind of foliar spraying potassium fertilizer to choose is nothing more than the following criteria:
In order to be clear, we can compare several foliar potassium fertilizers currently commonly used as follows (among them, potassium chloride contains extremely high harmful substance chloride ions, which is basically out of consideration.
