Microfertilizer ORAKUL® colofermine of potassium
ORAKUL® colofermine of potassium is intended for application in critical moments of field crops and perennials development.
It does not contain nitrogen, thus making the fertilizer an ideal source of potassium at later stages of plant development.
Potassium is the main cation in the plant body, the content of which is 1–5% of the dry mass. Due to its high mobility, it is not part of organic compounds. Potassium controls the processes of closing and opening of cell stomata, thus regulating water balance. It is the main factor in such movements as the “sleep” of the plant and daily changes in the orientation of leaves. It significantly affects metabolic processes, amino acid and protein metabolism, and participates in the processes of carbohydrate formation during photosynthesis (assimilation of CO2, movement of electrons along the electrotransport chain, photosynthetic production of O2).
Plants experience the greatest need for potassium during the period of intensive growth, during the processes of formation of new cells, photosynthesis and transport of organic compounds. Therefore, its greatest concentration is in young plant organs (3–5 times more than in old ones). Under the condition of good provision of agricultural crops with water and nitrogen, their need for this element also increases. Its sufficient amount ensures resistance to adverse environmental conditions, drought, various types of diseases and pests. Potassium acts as a synergist of phytohormones, which affect the growth of meristematic tissues, thus ensuring cell division and the formation of other types of tissues and organs from them.
When there is potassium deficiency chlorosis appears on the leaf tips (so called “marginal leaf burn”), chlorotic areas acquire bronze and dark brown colour and die off (necrosis). Potassium deficiency disrupts the water regime and as a result, growth slows down, plant productivity and product quality decrease. The application of ORAKUL® colofermine of potassium allows you to avoid the negative consequences that arise in the event of deficiency of the element in plants, thereby ensuring high yields.
ORAKUL® colofermine of potassium contains water softener, therefore the use of plant protection products in hard water (high content of Ca2+ and Mg2+ salts) in conjunction with ORAKUL® colofermine of potassium does not reduce their effectiveness. Hardness salts are reliably bound by the formulation component, without causing turbidity of the spraying solution. There is no danger of the calcium sulphate (gypsum) formation, which can lead to breakdown of spraying machinery. When conducting treatments use а freshly mixed solution.
- increases formation of sugars in leaves and their transition to other organs;
- increases plant resistance to frost, strengthens stems;
- reduces affection of crops by root blight and rust;
- improves the flow of water to plant cells;
- reduces evaporation process.
The composition of the microfertilizer allows its application, when air temperature exceeds +5°C.
It is recommended for use in conjunction with VIMPEL 2® plant growth stimulant.

1. INFORMATION FOR CONSUMERS: follow the instructions when using the formulation. The efficacy of the formulation and its ease of use depend on the application, storage and transportation conditions specified by the manufacturer.
2. COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER FORMULATIONS: the micronutrient fertilizer is applied during the growing season either prophylactically or according to the diagnostics results based on the application regulations. It performs well in tank mixes with plant protection products (unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer of the plant protection products), urea (in the recommended concentrations when using foliar fertilization of agricultural crops according to the crop growth stages), UAN, plant growth regulators, microfertilizers and biological preparations.
Attention! Not recommended for use with plant protection products, based on metals and also with microfertilizers, which have high concentration of metals.
3. PREPARATION OF WORKING TANK SOLUTION:
Warning! Prior to starting preparation of a tank mix, always check the formulations for compatibility!
For this purpose take a container, pour in it some water (which is to be used for the main application), add the tank mix components in proportions, based on the field rates of consumption. After closing the container, mix the contents by shaking it 10-15 times. Evaluate the tank mixture visually twice: immediately after mixing and after the mixture has settled (in about 30 minutes). Incompatibility of formulations is indicated by their separation into layers, residuum occurrence, flocculation of the mixture, formation of sludge that does not disperse.
Attention! It is possible to use the formulation in hard water. The active substances contained in it do not form compounds with hardness salts (СаSO4٠2H2О), hence the solution does not grow turbid.
If there are no compatibility problems, prepare the working solution just before spraying (direct application). Shake the product thoroughly in the original package and pour it directly into the sprayer tank, which is to be previously filled with water to 2/3 of its volume. After this with the mixing mode turned on add the components of the tank mixture in sequence stated in the recommendations and finish the process with filling the tank with water. Stirring of the mixture should be continued throughout the period of its preparation, as well as during application.
Application rates of the spraying solution: field crops — 70-300 L/ha, vegetables — 300-400 L/ha, fruit crops and grapes — 800-1000 L/ha.
