Potassium Mobilizer

Potassium is an essential element for plants. Potassium plays a vital role in the formation of amino acids and proteins from ammonium ions, which are absorbed by roots, from the soil. It is also responsible for the transfer of carbohydrates, proteins, etc. from the level to the roots. It also plays a vital role in the uptakes of other elements particularly nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium, potassium regulates the permeability of the cellular membrane.
Soil contains soil colloids, clays and minerals, which fixate the applied Potash Fertiliser into insoluble forms of Potash. Thus, plants can utilise only about 30% of the applied Potash. The fixation of Potash is a chemical reaction, involving:
Adsorption of applied potash onto clay minerals;
Conversion / Precipitation of applied Potash by clay minerals to insoluble forms of Potash.
Many micro-organisms play a significant role in nutrient uptake for plants. They are capable of mobilizing Potash to plants in all types of soil especially, low Potassium soils. Use of such bacteria is shown to increase the availability of potash in a useable form for the plants to absorb/ uptake.
When it is mixed with or applied to the soil, it gets activated and starts multiplying. As these cells grow and multiply, they mobilise the available potash in the soil and make the same available to the root zone/ plant system, by cleaving the bonds between the Potassium and Silica molecules in the clay and soil colloids, which immobilise the applied Potassium Fertiliser.
Benefits:
It makes potassium available near the root zone, in the range of 30 to 50 Kg/ Ha.
It enhances availability of applied “K” Fertiliser by 15-20 %.
It enhances early root development, leading to increase in plant growth and subsequently greater yield.
It is easily compatible with all other microbes in the soil/ root zone.
It elicits rapid cell development in plants.
It increases production of plant proteins.
It increases the efficiency of water use in plants.
It increases the stand persistence, longevity and hardiness of crops/ plants.
It does not disturb ecological balance as it is environment friendly.
