Potassium nitrate as a fertilizer

Potassium nitrate as a fertilizer

A vegetable garden or allotment, is not only beautiful to look at, but also provides you with delicious fresh homemade fruits and vegetables all year round. To enjoy a rich harvest, it is important to fertilize your little garden regularly. In doing so, it is important to know what nutrients your plants need.

The nutrients needed by plants are indicated by so-called macronutrients. Plants mainly need three macronutrients, which are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Each of these macronutrients is responsible for its own part of the growth process.

Nitrogen is responsible for plant growth and development, phosphorus for root development and fruit flowering, and potassium for the absorption of water and other nutrients. Potassium is additionally known to improve crop quality.

When there is a deficiency of these nutrients in the soil, a poor and weak harvest is imminent. Therefore, it is important to fertilize appropriately.

But which fertilizer is the very best?

Over the years, different fertilizers have been used and tested. This has shown time and again that organic fertilizers produce the best results in crop growth and color. In addition, by using organic fertilizers, you prevent any soil contamination.

Using potassium nitrate as a fertilizer

One of the most interesting organic fertilizers is potassium nitrate with the chemical formula KNO3. The name actually says it all, the substance consists of potassium and nitrate. These are the two most important macronutrients needed by plants. With a small amount you feed your crops and bring them to optimal condition. 

There are several types of alternatives offered on the market but despite this, potassium nitrate still remains the best choice. This is due to the high and pure presence of the substance potassium and nitrate. With no other additional additives, it is exactly what your plants need. The purest form of fertilization.

Potassium nitrate is generally offered in dry form and can be easily spread by hand. It is also possible to dissolve it in water and pour it over your crops.

How much potassium nitrate to add to garden?

Potassium nitrate consists of 13 percent nitrogen and about 1 to 1.5 kg of nitrogen should be added to the soil per 100 square meters annually. This amounts to about 10 kg of potassium nitrate per 100 square meters. Or, 100 grams per square meter of garden. When fertilizing, it is important to make sure there is no imbalance of nutrients. This can be avoided by spreading the product evenly throughout the garden and not concentrating it in one spot.
