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

Potassium Formate ($HCOOK$) as a foliar spray acts as a powerful biostimulant and osmoregulator, helping crops in Andhra Pradesh withstand abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity common in coastal regions. Scientifically, the formate anion is a natural plant metabolite that facilitates the rapid translocation of potassium cations into the vascular system, resulting in faster results than potassium sulfate ($K_{2}SO_{4}$). In the tobacco and mango plantations of AP, this chloride-free fertilizer ensures optimal stomatal conductance and water-use efficiency. Its neutral pH and compatibility with common micronutrients make it an essential component for advanced fertigation and foliar nutrition programs aimed at achieving maximum yield and superior crop resilience in South India's climate.

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.
