Agreen Supa-K
'Algreen Supa-K' is a specific liquid fertilizer focusing on potassium (K), combined with other beneficial elements and potentially hormones or stimulants. It's designed to address potassium deficiencies in plants, particularly during the crucial fruiting and ripening stages. Here's a description of Algreen Supa-K: Algreen Supa-K: Fertilizer Description Product Type: Liquid Foliar Fertilizer / Plant Nutrient. It's an EC fertilizer (European Community fertilizer standard), indicating compliance with certain quality controls. Primary Nutrient: Potassium (K). The guaranteed content typically shows a high percentage of water-soluble Potassium oxide (K2O), often around 24% or even 42% in some NPK formulations. NPK Ratio (Common Example): A prominent NPK ratio for Algreen Supa-K is 6:0:42 + TE + STIMULANT. This means it contains: 6% Nitrogen (N) 0% Phosphorus (P) 42% Potassium (K2O) Plus Trace Elements (TE) and Stimulants (plant hormones/biostimulants). Key Features & Benefits: High Potassium Source: Specifically formulated to provide a readily available source of potassium to plants. Fruit Quality Enhancement: Its primary purpose is to improve the quality of fruits and vegetables. This includes: Bigger Fruits: Promotes increased fruit size. Good Color: Enhances the natural color development of fruits. Sweetness & Taste: Increases sugar levels (Brix) and improves overall taste. Firmness: Contributes to better fruit firmness. Longer Shelf Life & Storability: Improves the post-harvest life of produce, reducing spoilage during transport and storage. Grain Filling: Excellent for crops that produce grains, aiding in proper grain filling. Enzyme Activation: Activates many enzyme systems within the plant, which are vital for various metabolic processes. Water Management (Turgor): Helps plants maintain turgor (cell rigidity), reducing water loss and wilting, which is crucial for drought stress management. Photosynthesis Aid: Aids in photosynthesis and the formation of food within the plant. Hormones/Stimulants: The inclusion of hormones or stimulants suggests it also acts as a biostimulant, promoting overall plant vigor and stress tolerance. No Nitrate/Chloride: Some formulations are specifically noted to be free of nitrate and chloride, which can be beneficial in certain soil conditions or for specific crops. Miscibility: Often compatible and can be mixed with many common pesticides, making it convenient for integrated pest and nutrient management. Application: Typically applied as a foliar spray. Application Rates: Common recommendations are 30-50 MLS per 20 liters of water. Timing: Primarily used during the fruiting and maturation stages of crops when potassium demand is highest. It's essential for fruit filling, ripening, and overall quality development. Target Crops: Recommended for all fruiting crops, including: Tomatoes Watermelons Potatoes Mangoes, Tree Tomatoes, Passion fruits, Avocados, Citrus Other vegetables like French beans, peas, kales, cabbages, chillies, and herbs. Cereals like wheat, maize, barley, and rice (for grain filling). Packaging: Available in various sizes, such as 250ml, 500ml, 1 liter, 5 liters, and 20 liters.

Solubor
Solubor: Essential Boron for Thriving Crops in Meru Solubor is a highly effective, water-soluble boron micronutrient fertilizer (17.5% to 21% elemental boron) vital for agriculture, especially where boron deficiency is common. This powdered or granular fertilizer plays a crucial role in plants by: Strengthening cell walls and aiding cell division. Facilitating sugar transport. Ensuring successful pollination and fruit/seed set. Enhancing calcium uptake and root development. Without enough boron, plants can suffer from stunted growth, flower and fruit drop, poor quality harvests, and dieback of growing points. Specific issues include hollow stems in brassicas, poor cob filling in maize, and fruit blemishes in tomatoes. You can apply Solubor as a foliar spray (most common and effective), through irrigation systems, or directly to the soil. Solubor offers significant advantages: Corrects boron deficiency directly. Boosts yield and quality of crops like tomatoes, coffee, and maize. It's cost-effective and easy to use, mixing well with other agrochemicals. Reduces risk of crop loss from deficiency-related disorders.
