Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg) and Sulphur (S) are essential nutrients for crops. They are a guarantee for healthy plants, high yield and best quality.
Origin and plant availability of nutrients play a major role in modern agriculture, which is devoted to optimum product quality and environmental friendly production.
K+S KALI GmbH is a major producer of K, Mg and S fertilizer, which are produced from natural salt deposits in Germany. All nutrients are water soluble and thus fully available for the plant.
Crop quality
Particularly in high value crops quality has become the most important factor influencing monetary yield and thus farmers’ income. Fertilization significantly influences quality characteristics. K, Mg and S are the most important nutrients for superior quality of food crops; they
- Guarantee better appearance and taste
- Increase keeping and processing quality
- Improve nutritional value and
- Improve resistance to stress, pests and diseases.
Saline conditions
High salinity levels in the soil are toxic for plants especially in the seedling stage. Salinity restricts water uptake and affects metabolic processes such as photosynthesis, protein synthesis and phytohormone turnover resulting in depressed yield and inferior quality characteristics. However, salt tolerance of plants varies considerably among species.
