Potassium formate (For Foliar Fertilizer)

Potassium formate (For Foliar Fertilizer) in Assam

Potassium Formate ($HCOOK$) acts as a high-speed metabolic activator, where the formate anion facilitates the swift translocation of potassium ($K^+$) ions into the plant's vascular system. In the Assam tea and horticulture sectors, this is particularly beneficial during the monsoon season when soil-based nutrient uptake is often hampered by waterlogging. Scientifically, it acts as an osmotic regulator, helping the plant maintain turgor pressure and withstand the physiological stress of Assam's humid heat and occasional dry spells. For the Ginger and Black Pepper plantations of the Karbi Anglong region, our Potassium Formate offers a low salt index and excellent tank-mix compatibility with other micronutrients, promoting vigorous root development and increasing the oil content of aromatic crops while adhering to sustainable farming practices.



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.
