Potassium nitrate
Potassium nitrate is a known chemical, a substance that dissolves well in water to the point that it disappears and does not show its molecules. This indicates its high water solubility, and it is characterized by high solubility from other materials, making it the first choice in the manufacture of strong and effective fertilizers. Mainly used to increase the strength of the plants and improve their quality as well as their ability to treat the soil, and improve the quality and rid of the many problems that may affect, in addition to the many characteristics that made it one of the most important chemical compounds, and It enters in many with industries that are heavily used.
Characteristics of potassium nitrate
- It is considered to be one of the most pure chemicals, as it is free from impurities and has no other substances that change its properties.
- Its lowest moisture content is among chemicals, which are classified as having the lowest moisture content.
- It is characterized by high and smooth flow.
- It is a pure natural substance that does not contain additives.
- Does not contain a high level of chlorine, which makes it more pure and better quality.
- Its great water-solubility is one of its most important characteristics that make it of great industrial importance.
- A high percentage of the nitrogen element that distinguishes it.
- Is considered a safe material that is easy to use and deal with without fear of the risks that may ensue from its use.
Uses of potassium nitrate
Potassium nitrate is used in the preparation of soil and plant fertilizers. This is due to its distinct characteristics from the other chemicals in addition to the flexibility of the manufacture of these fertilizers, which is one of the industries that are easy to apply. These fertilizers are also produced in liquid and dry conditions. A slightly acidic, white powder, crystalline form, very dense and very clear, chemically composed of potassium oxide and nitrogen, the two main components of this substance.
Benefits of potassium nitrate
Many plants benefit from the addition of potassium nitrate, which increases the strength of ornamental plants and feeds the various types of trees and plants, whether internal or external, in addition to types of fruits such as bananas, strawberries, and some types of vegetables, and roses of various kinds. In addition, the benefits of potassium nitrate The most important of these benefits:
- Increases the growth of plants and trees that are added to them and work to feed them.
- It possesses tremendous capacity to resist the intensity of the winter cooler.
- The plant extracts from various diseases that may infect it, and also saves it from various agricultural pests.
