Haifa MKP Mono Potassium Phosphate 0 - 52 - 34 Fertilizer

PRODUCT ANALYSIS:

• Total Phosphorus (as P2O5) - 52%
• Total Phosphorus (as P) - 22.7%
• Total Potassium (as K2O) - 34.5%
• Total Potassium (as K) - 28.7%

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:

Nutrigation:

It is recommended to use Haifa MKP as a source of phosphorus and potassium where nitrogen levels should be kept low. Because of its unique characteristics, Haifa MKP can be applied through any irrigation system and on any growth medium. Unlike phosphoric acid, Haifa MKP is moderately acidic. Therefore, it is not corrosive to fertilizer pumps or to irrigation equipment.

Compatibility:

Haifa MKP is compatible with most water-soluble fertilizers, except for fertilizers containing calcium (Ca++) or magnesium (Mg++). To apply Haifa MKP in combination with calcium or magnesium fertilizers, use two fertilizer tanks. If the system includes only one tank, apply the fertilizers at different times.

Quantitative Nutrigation:

Each kilogram of Haifa MKP in the tank provides 520 grams of P2O5 (230g P) and 340 grams of K2O (280g K).

Proportional Nutrigation:

The phosphorus and potassium concentration in irrigation water depend on the quantity of Haifa MKP in the tank mix, and on the injection ratio.

Foliar Nutrition

Foliar application of Haifa MKP is an optional supplement to soil fertilization at growth stages when high levels of phosphorus and potassium are required. An early season foliar application with Haifa MKP promotes the establishment of a healthy root system.

Haifa MKP is an efficient suppressor of powdery mildew in susceptible crops (deciduous, vineyards, mango, cucumbers, melons, roses and others). Application of 1% Haifa MKP mixed with systemic fungicides improves the fungicide efficiency and allows it to be used at reduced application rates.

Haifa MKP is compatible with most commonly used pesticides and fertilizers. However, it should not be mixed with calcium or magnesium fertilizers. Iron, manganese, zinc and copper must be in the form of chelates.

Field-crops and vegetables: On young leaves, spray concentration of 1.0% Haifa MKP is recommended in most crops. On mature leaves and more tolerant crops, concentration of 2.0% may be applied.

Fruit Trees:

• Citrus: 1-3% Concentration - Timing: 2-3 successive monthly sprays at early fruit development, starting 1 month after fruit-set.
• Stone fruits: 1-2% Concentration - Timing: 2-4 applications from fruit-set to fruit coloring.
• Table grapes: 1-2% Concentration - Timing: 1 application during fruit-set, 1 during ripening.
• Bananas: 1-2% Concentration - Timing: 2-6 applications with the application of pesticides.
• Vineyards: 2% Concentration - Timing: 1 application during fruit-set, 1 during ripening
  • 1% Concentration - Timing: Every 2 weeks, starting when twigs are 10-14cm long until veraison, alternated with proper fungicide.
• Olives: 3-5% Concentration - Timing: 1 application in early spring for flower induction and fruit setting, 2 applications during fruit development, 1 application on September during sizing and oil filling.

It is advisable to confirm compatibility of your intended spray-mix by preparing a sample of the spray materials at their recommended concentrations in order to rule out the possibility of a detrimental cross reaction. This mixture should be sprayed onto small area prior to commercial treatment, in order to assess whether an adverse effect occurs.
