Acetate-Based Nutrients
This chart shows the relative absorption percentages of potassium after a foliar application.
Nutrients designed for unmatched foliar absorption.
Acetate-based nutrients generally have superior foliar availability over traditional nutrients. Lower use rates and more efficient nutrient utilization are typical of acetate-based nutrients. This allows crop managers to reduce their overall fertilizer salt loads while safely achieving excellent tissue levels of nutrients. As an example, the chart on the right shows how potassium acetate has up to five times the foliar availability of traditional forms of potassium such as potassium nitrate.
