Description

GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Foliar application of ALPINE K20-S® liquid fertilizer can increase yields, but should only be considered as a supplement to a balanced soil-applied nutrient program. ALPINE K20-S is powered by Bio-K® the ultimate in potassium technology, only from ALPINE.

Potassium: Potassium teams with nitrogen and sulfur to produce protein essential for proper plant growth. The addition of potassium to your crop nutrition program provides the following:

• helps increase drought resistance
• helps develop stronger stalks and stems
• maintains a healthy plant metabolism
• assists in photosynthesis
• helps translocation within the plant
• increases protein and starch levels within the plant
• aids in fighting diseases

Boron is critical to move carbohydrates from the leaves to the fruit.

Manganese plays a vital role in photosynthesis and general plant tissue health.

Molybdenum plays a key role in the transformation of nitrogen into amino acids. The quicker the plant converts nitrates into amino acid, the less energy the plant will require to manage nitrates, allowing that energy to be utilized in performing other plant functions, increasing nutrient use efficiencies. Molybdenum also plays an important role in allowing legumes to symbiotically fix atmospheric nitrogen.  

 

Foliar applications of ALPINE K20-S liquid fertilizer has the advantage of allowing producers to add necessary nitrogen, potassium, sulfur, and micronutrients when:

  1. Tissue analysis indicates an N, K, or micronutrient shortage
  2. Large fruit or grain load is expected
  3. Deficiency N, K, S or micronutrient symptoms appear

ALPINE K20-S liquid fertilizer may be mixed with other fertilizers, fungicides, or pesticides. Always jar test to determine compatibility.

 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Fill the tank with 1/2 of required water
  • Start agitation and continue agitation during filling and spray application
  • Add other products to be tank making sure they are completely mixed
