TIB Chemicals AG Potassium thiosulphate solution

Potassium thiosulphate solution is The substances and mixtures defined in the plant protection act as a plant strengthening agent and has a significant share in the care and maintenance of crops. In particular, non-parasitic effects, such as frost, also belong to the original effect group. Potassium thiosulfate acts on precisely these interfaces. Deficiency phenomena due to a poor development of natural potassium silicates require an active approach using potassium-based fertilizers.

Applications & Uses

Possible applications of potassium thiosulfate K2S2O3

The soil contains potassium silicates, commonly known as potash water glass or potassium silicate. It is a colorless solid which is soluble in water. While it is mainly used as a binder and adhesive in industrial applications, it is often a component of plant strengthening agents in agriculture. This leads, however, to the fact that plants which are so concentrated in the soil can only hardly break up. The targeted addition of potassium, especially in the form of potassium thiosulfate from TIB Chemicals, promotes the water absorption rate of the plant cells and at the same time have a positive effect on plant statics and the formation of wood in general.

In this way, preventative measures can be taken, which are mandatory in longer periods of growth and at the time of fruiting. The use of potassium thiosulfate makes it easier to plan a sufficient coverage of crop-cultivating and reduces natural risks significantly. This effect can also be exploited within the framework of cultivation of sensitive plant cultures, which are particularly relevant in viticulture. Fertilizers with a corresponding proportion of potassium thiosulfate improve the K / S content in liquid mixtures.

Potassium thiosulphate

Maize counts among the crops, which are particularly under a potassium deficiency. This is not unfrequently connected with the changing ground conditions, which favor a leaching of potassium. This is regularly the case with light soils. This deeply affects the water balance of the plant and its natural regulation. There is a lack of necessary growth to strengthen cell walls and make the plant more resistant to pathogens. As a result, potassium deficits can always be associated with lower yields. Potassium thiosulfate from TIB Chemicals has a holistic approach and supports the natural formation of defense mechanisms, which makes the plant less susceptible to pathogens. Available at TIB Chemicals in an agent concentration between 48.5% and 51.5% potassium as K2O to 25%, sulfur (S) to approximately 17%.

The high sulfur content of the liquid formulation results in a favorable pH value, which makes the dissolution of the sulfur very slow. In this way, the actual chemical effect is reduced, which is advantageous in that all relevant microelements remain stable and make these receptive to the plant. At the same time, the salt content in the soil is reduced, which increases the points of attachment for potassium and thus provides the basis for controlling growth and producing nutritional and growth equilibrium. Whether for flowers or ornamental plants, different vegetable crops or, for example, fruit trees - potassium thiosulfate from TIB Chemicals, which is based in Germany, has a qualitative effect on the yields and can be mixed with other formulations without problems, except for acidic reactants. In a smaller scale, compatibility tests can be carried out quickly and safely.
