Introduction:
Monopotassium Phosphite (MKPΦ, chemical formula KH₂PO₃) is a high-efficiency source of phosphorus and potassium, widely used in agriculture, horticulture, and industry. With excellent solubility and bioavailability, Monopotassium Phosphite has become an essential ingredient in modern plant nutrition and disease resistance programs.
Applications:
Agriculture:
Used as a fertilizer and plant growth promoter. It enhances plant defense mechanisms against fungal and bacterial pathogens, while providing essential nutrients for healthy growth.Horticulture:
Applied in fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants to boost yield, improve stress tolerance, and stimulate strong root development.Industrial Use:
Serves as an intermediate in the production of various phosphorus-based chemicals.
How to Use Monopotassium Phosphite:
Foliar Spray:
Dilute Monopotassium Phosphite with water (typically 0.2%-0.4%) and spray evenly over plant leaves during critical growth stages.Soil Application:
Can be mixed with irrigation water (fertigation) to promote root absorption. Application rates depend on the crop and soil conditions, usually around 2-4 kg/ha per application.Compatibility:
Monopotassium Phosphite is compatible with most fertilizers and agrochemicals but should not be mixed with acidic products unless properly tested.
Performance Compared to Other Phosphates:
Property | Monopotassium Phosphite | Monopotassium Phosphate (KH₂PO₄) | Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) |
---|---|---|---|
Main Components | Phosphite (PO₃³⁻) + Potassium | Phosphate (PO₄³⁻) + Potassium | Phosphate (PO₄³⁻) + Ammonium |
Plant Health Effects | Stimulates disease resistance, systemic acquired resistance (SAR) | Supplies nutrients | Supplies nutrients |
Solubility | Very High | High | Moderate |
pH Value | Slightly acidic | Neutral | Alkaline |
Bioavailability | Rapid absorption, direct defense activation | Mainly nutritional | Mainly nutritional |
Monopotassium Phosphite not only provides nutrients but also acts directly as a plant defense activator, something traditional phosphates cannot do.
Especially valuable for high-value crops needing both nutrition and enhanced disease resistance.
