Eurosolids Potassium Nitrate Horticultural Grade is a highly pure Potassium fertilizer, which dissolves rapidly and completely. Our product is not sensitive to caking and is recommended during fruit or tuber development. The high level of Potassium plays an important role in achieving higher yields with optimal quality, and affects overall plant performance. Furthermore, the presence of Nitrate Nitrogen has a positive effect on the uptake of Potassium in the plant and is crucial during fruit sizing.
