Potassium Nitrate is a crystalline salt, (KNO3); a strong oxidizer used especially in making gunpowder, as a fertilizer, labs and in medicine- We do not advise in any of the use except for Agriculture use as it contains two major essentials plant nutrients used as a fertilizer for high-value crops that benefit from nitrate, nutrition and a source of potassium (K+) free of chloride (Cl?).
Potassium nitrate appears as a white 100% Water soluble fertiliser. Noncombustible, but accelerates the burning of combustible materials. If large quantities are involved in fire or the combustible material is finely divided an explosion may result. May explode under prolonged exposure to heat or fire. Toxic oxides of nitrogen are produced in fires. Used in solid propellants, explosives, fertilizers.
Agricultural Use
The use of KNO3 is especially desirable in conditions where a highly soluble, chloride-free nutrient source is needed. All of the N is immediately available for plant uptake as nitrate, requiring no additional microbial action and transformation in the soil.
Growers of high-value vegetable and orchard crops sometimes prefer to use a nitrate-based source of nutrition in an effort to boost yield and quality. Potassium nitrate contains a relatively high proportion of K, with an N to K ratio of approximately 1:3.
Many crops have high K demands and can remove as much or more K than N at harvest. Applications of KNO3 to the soil are made before the growing season or as a supplement during the growing season. A diluted solution is sometimes sprayed on plant foliage to stimulate physiological processes or to overcome nutrient deficiencies.
Both N and K are required by plants to support harvest quality, protein formation, disease resistance and water-use efficiency. Therefore, to support healthy growth, farmers often apply KNO? to soil or through the irrigation system during the growing season.
Potassium nitrate accounts for only a small portion of the global K fertilizer market. Its primarily used where its unique composition and properties can provide specific benefits to growers. Further, its easy to handle and apply, and is compatible with many other fertilizers, including specialty fertilizers for many high-value specialty crops, as well as those used on grain and fiber crops.
Foliar application of K during fruit development can be advantageous for some crops since this growth stage often coincides with high K demands during the time of declining root activity and nutrient uptake. It is also commonly used for greenhouse plant production and hydroponic culture.
