▏Composition

▏Application method

Foliar spraying: When used to supplement potassium or enhance crop resilience, a solution of 0.1% - 0.3% is usually prepared, (100 - 300g of potassium acetate is added to 100 liters of water) 

1.For Fruit trees (Apples and grapes): During fruit expansion period, spray 0.2% potassium acetate solution, once every 7 - 10 days, 2 times; 

2.For vegetables (tomatoes and cucumbers): After flowering, spray 0.1% - 0.2% potassium acetate solution, about 30L/acre one time. 

lRoot fertilization: usually 3 - 5kg/acre one time. It should be used during key periods such as fruit expansion, root growth period, or after harvest. 

For soil with severe potassium deficiency: dosage appropriately increased to 5-8kg/acre one time, but it is necessary to avoid excessive application which may lead to soil salt accumulation and other problems.
