MULTIMAX - POTASSIUM
THE ROLE OF POTASSIUM Increases root growth and improves drought resistance. .Maintains turgor, reduces water loss and wilting. Aids in photosynthesis and food formation. Enhances translocation of sugars & starch particularly during grain fill. Produces grain rich in starch. Increased protein content in plants. Builds cellulose and reduces lodging. Activates many enzyme systems. Maximises N usage. Reduces disease susceptibility.
THE ROLE OF PHOSPHORUS
• Key role in crop maturation
• Very important in water relations along with Potassium, improved drought resistance
• Major role in energy relations and photosynthesis and therefore is vital at key growth stages
• Can increase the plants cold tolerance
• Involved with the overall health of the crop and resistance to environmental pressure. This gives improved plant nutrient health.
• Vital to maximise rooting
• Increased grain sites
•Improved rooting maximises nutrient uptake
NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY
There are many limitations to root and foliar uptake of both phosphate and potash
• Soil temperature
• Low soil oxygen levels e.g. increased water holding in the soil
• Low soil organic matter
• Soil texture and pH
• Other nutrient interactions
• Limited root volumes of major arable crops
