Potassium formate (For Foliar Fertilizer) Manufacturers, Exporters & Suppliers - Innovacorp India Pvt Ltd in Amritsar

Potassium Formate ($HCOOK$) as a foliar fertilizer serves as a unique biostimulant and nutrient carrier that is absorbed by plant tissues significantly faster than potassium sulfate or chloride. Its organic formate anion is naturally metabolized by the plant, providing a clean energy source while the potassium cation regulates osmotic pressure and stomatal activity. In the Amritsar region, where soil health and water conservation are critical, this chloride-free fertilizer minimizes environmental runoff and improves drought and frost resistance. Its neutral to slightly alkaline pH and high compatibility with other micronutrients make it an ideal component for advanced fertigation and precision farming systems across North India.

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.
