Potassium Nitrate Fertilizer 13-0-46 in Australia Market, HS Code 28342110 25KG Bags KNO3 Composition for Plants
1. Product Intoduction
Potassium nitrate is an inorganic substance commonly known as nitrate or soil nitrate. Kno3 refers to the nitrate of potassium. Potassium nitrate is a colorless transparent rhombic or rhombic crystal or white powder. Potassium nitrate is odorless, non-toxic, and has a salty and refreshing taste. Potassium nitrate has minimal moisture absorption in the air, is not prone to clumping, is soluble in water, can dissolve in liquid ammonia and glycerol, and is insoluble in anhydrous ethanol.
Potassium nitrate fertilizer is a chlorine free nitrogen potassium compound fertilizer with high solubility. Its effective components, nitrogen and potassium, can be quickly absorbed by crops without any chemical residue. Potassium nitrate is used as fertilizer and is suitable for vegetables, fruits, and flowers, as well as some chlorine sensitive crops (such as potatoes, strawberries, beans, cabbage, lettuce, peanuts, carrots, onions, blueberries, tobacco, apricots, grapefruit, and avocados).
Potassium nitrate is a strong oxidizing agent that can cause combustion and explosion when in contact with organic matter. Therefore, potassium nitrate should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from flames and heat sources. Avoid co storage and transportation with reducing agents, acids, flammable materials, and metal powders.

We have exported industrial grade potassium nitrate to Thailand several thousand tons in past 2023. Yixin potassium nitrate is polular in Thailand and Australia market.
Advantages for potassium nitrate fertilizer
Hydroponics and Greenhouse Cultivation: Potassium nitrate is commonly used in hydroponic systems and greenhouse cultivation. In these soilless growing methods, the nutrient solution or irrigation water is supplemented with potassium nitrate to provide essential potassium and nitrogen to the plants.
Foliar Spray: Potassium nitrate is sometimes applied as a foliar spray, where it is dissolved in water and sprayed directly onto the leaves of plants. This method allows for quick nutrient absorption by the foliage and is particularly useful for correcting nutrient deficiencies or providing an immediate nutrient boost for crops.
Stress Tolerance: Potassium nitrate can help improve the tolerance of plants to various environmental stresses. It enhances the plant's resistance to drought, heat, cold, and diseases, thereby improving overall crop performance and survival under challenging conditions.
Flower and Fruit Development: Potassium nitrate is known to promote flower and fruit development in crops. It plays a crucial role in the reproductive growth phase of plants, stimulating flowering, improving fruit set, and enhancing the quality and size of fruits.
