White Crystal KNO3 Nitrogen Potassium, Potassium Nitrate Fertilizer 13.5-0-46 For Australian Farm
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.

3. Potassium Nitrate Application
1. Soil Application: Potassium nitrate can be applied directly to the soil before planting or during the growing season. The fertilizer can be spread evenly across the soil surface and then incorporated into the topsoil through tillage or irrigation.
2. Side-Dressing: For crops that require additional potassium and nitrogen during the growing season, potassium nitrate can be side-dressed. This involves applying the fertilizer in a band alongside the crop rows, ensuring that it is placed away from the plant's stem or foliage to avoid direct contact.
3. Fertigation: Potassium nitrate is highly soluble in water, making it suitable for fertigation, a method of applying fertilizers through irrigation systems. It can be dissolved in water and applied directly to the crop's root zone through drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, or other irrigation methods.
4. Potassium nitrate is a raw material for producing black gunpowder, such as mine gunpowder, ignition wires, firecrackers, etc. KNO3 is also used in fireworks to generate purple sparks. Mechanical heat treatment is used as a salt bath for quenching. The ceramic industry is used to manufacture porcelain glaze color drugs. Used as a glass clarifying agent. Used for manufacturing automotive lamp glass shells, optical glass picture tube glass shells, etc. The pharmaceutical industry is used to produce penicillin potassium salts and rifampicin drugs. Used for making cigarette paper. Used as a catalyst. Potassium nitrate fertilizer 13-0-46 can be used as mineral processing agents. Used as a compound fertilizer for crops and flowers.
Advantages for potassium nitrate fertilizer
Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is a popular fertilizer 13-0-46 used in agriculture due to its high potassium and nitrogen content. Here are some key features and benefits of potassium nitrate fertilizers:
Nutrient Content: Potassium nitrate is a rich source of both potassium (K) and nitrogen (N). It typically contains around 13.5% nitrogen and 46% potassium by weight, making it an excellent source of these essential nutrients for plants.
Water Solubility: Potassium nitrate is highly soluble in water, which means it can be easily dissolved and absorbed by plant roots. This solubility allows for efficient nutrient uptake by plants, ensuring that they receive the necessary nutrients in a readily available form
Improved Plant Quality: Regular application of potassium nitrate fertilizers can enhance the overall quality of plants. It promotes stronger root systems, improves resistance to diseases and pests, and enhances the color, texture, and taste of fruits and vegetables.
Versatility: Potassium nitrate can be used with various crops, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and ornamental plants. It is suitable for different growing methods, such as field cultivation, greenhouse production, and hydroponics.
