Nutrition

• KNO₃ compared to other K and N sources increases the efficiency of water and nutrient uptake in general, and in particular the uptake of cations like K⁺, Mg⁺⁺ and Ca⁺⁺, essential to achieve the required yield and quality standards.

Salinity

• KNO₃ is an essential component to create a balanced nutrition for strawberries, helping to control E.C. levels in this saline sensitive crop.

Higher yields

• Stronger plants with higher leaf area, increased root length, chlorophyll content and petiole length
• Earlier bud break and quicker flower development
• Sooner fruit setting and fruit size increase
• More homogeneous bigger sized fruit
• Higher biomass and increase in carboxylate and calcium content

Better quality

• Better coloring
• Better sugar content and taste
• Better firmness, storability and shelf life
• Use of chloride free potassium nitrate can prevent injury to the chloride sensitive strawberry plant
