NACHURS foliar nutrients have proven to translocate quickly from the young leaves to the root system. This translocation promotes a healthier plant and healthier root system. A healthier root system takes up more nutrients from the soil. In general, a healthier plant is a more profitable plant! 

Foliar sprays should contain:

• Nitrogen to act as an electrolyte to carry nutrients
• Phosphate for internal circulation 

The most critical times to apply:

• Periods of great growth activity 
• Transition from vegetative to reproductive state 
• Presence of deficiency/damage 

Timing is crucial. Untimely applications are not effective.

NACHURS Potassium Acetate (Bio-K) Technology is a combination of an inorganic salt reacted with an organic acid to form a potassium acetate fertilizer. What makes NACHURS Bio-K unique is in the origination of its organic-based carrier (anion), the acetate molecule. Acetate is a natural plant metabolite that has many important functions within the plant as well as in the symbiotic relationship between plant roots and soil microbes/mycorrhizal fungi. It provides a base in which many plant compounds are thereby formed.

Acetate is also a very important part of signaling compounds (flavonoids, lipochitooligosaccharides, etc.) which promote plant-soil microbe relationships, enhanced defense mechanisms, and increased plant productivity.

Since the carrier portion of NACHURS Bio-K is a natural plant metabolite, it is more rapidly and readily taken up by plants, which in turn leads to increased potassium use efficiency and higher productivity.

NACHURS Bio-K also has a very low salt index and leaf burn potential, thus making it extremely safe for both foliar and in-furrow applications. NACHURS Bio-K Technology in a sound, well balanced fertility program will provide the plant with added energy (derived from acetate) which will ultimately lead to increased yield.
