13-00-45 – Potassium Nitrate
13-00-45 (Potassium Nitrate) Water Soluble Fertilizer is a pure fine crystal powdery water-soluble fertilizers, yet quality is excellent with 13% Nitrogen (N) and 45% Potassium (K²O) but without Phosphorus (P²O₅). Ideal for application in crops fruiting / ripening stage in which potassium plays major role in fruit quality, colour, size, taste and storability. Its nitrogen in the form of nitrate means rapid uptake in plants and high potassium improves plant metabolism and water management.

Benefits
- Enhances Fruit Quality : Improves fruit size, taste, color, firmness, and overall shelf life.
- Promotes Potassium Uptake : Provides potassium required by the plant during fruit development and ripening.
- Fast Nutrient Absorption : Nitrate nitrogen gets into the plant quickly, so no rain is no gain.
- Enzyme Activation : Potassium activates more than 60 enzyme processes, which supports photosynthesis and sugar movement.
- Increases Water Regulation : Potassium increases the ability to tolerate drought and increase water-use efficiency in plants.
- No Phosphorus – Perfect for high phosphorus soil or crops, eliminating over- fertilization.
- Chloride Free – Safe for chloride-sensitive crops like grapes, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries and more.
- Increases Marketable Yield & Crop Quality : Results in higher marketable yield and better crop quality.
- Works with Drip Systems – Completely soluble and works with fertigation and foliar sprays.
Application
- Crops : Fruits (grapes, pomegranate, banana, citrus), vegetables (tomato, chili, cucumber), flowers, and other high-value crops.
- Note : Always test foliar applications on a small area first.
Time
- Start applying 13-00-45 at the fruit setting stage.
- Continue applications through the fruit development and maturation stages.
- Avoid early-stage application where phosphorus is more critical.
Precaution
- Do not mix 13-00-45 with calcium- or magnesium-based fertilizers in the same tank.
- Always conduct a jar test before mixing with pesticides or other nutrients.
- Use clean water and avoid hard water for foliar sprays.
- Store 13-00-45 (Potassium Nitrate) in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
- Use protective gloves and goggles while handling and preparing the solution.
Shelf Life
2 years from the date of manufacturing when stored in proper conditions.
Keep 13-00-45 in original, sealed packaging for maximum stability.
Packaging
- Available in 1 kg, 5 kg, and 25 kg high-grade laminated bags with moisture-proof inner lining.
