Risk management with SOLU K 52
The effects of climate change are causing increased risks in agriculture.For example, erratic weather and dry spells and the associated lack of nutrients in the ground can lead to crop failures that represent significant economic damage for farmers.
Applied at the right time, the potassium sulphate fertiliser SOLU K 52 counteracts the risk of crop failures. This is because leaf fertilisation is more effective than soil fertilisation in rapidly balancing out nutrient deficiencies, since plants are able to absorb the nutrients within just a few hours.
Young crops especially are very sensitive to fluctuations in the nutrient supply, since their root systems are not yet properly developed.
Leaf fertilisation is also helpful in other stress situations:
- late growth
- damage to the plants
- lack of soil moisture in hot areas
- low temperatures
- if normal fertilisers are heavily fixated by roots – in this case, soil fertilisation can be partially replaced with a reasonable proportion of leaf fertilisation.
The use of SOLU K 52 contributes to yield stability in a range of different ways.
