- Product Description
Agricultural Liquid Potassium Formate – Premium Liquid Potassium Solution for Modern Agriculture
SHANXI ZHAOYI CHEMICAL CO., LTD brings you Agricultural Liquid Potassium Formate, a high-purity chloride-free potassium fertilizer engineered for precision agriculture. With over 35 years of manufacturing excellence since 1988, our facility produces 150,000 tons annually across a 27,000 m² production base.
This liquid formulation delivers ≥75% assay purity with ultra-low chloride content (≤0.2% Cl-), making it ideal for chlorine-sensitive crops. The transparent liquid format (CAS 590-29-4, molecular formula HCOOK) ensures rapid nutrient uptake while preventing irrigation system clogging. Our carbonate content stays below 0.5%, guaranteeing soil-friendly pH stability. Certified under ISO, KOSHER, and HALAL standards, this product eliminates common issues like salt accumulation and leaf scorch while enhancing potassium availability even in cold conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
Chloride-Free Sustenance for Delicate Crops
Your high-value crops like citrus, tobacco, and berries merit assurance. Our detailing contains negligible chloride (≤0.2%), avoiding root burn and leaf yellowing that conventional potassium chloride causes.
Superior Dissolvability & Application Flexibility
The fluid frame breaks down immediately in water, empowering consistent integration with trickle water system and fertigation frameworks. You'll encounter zero clogging and uniform supplement dispersion over your fields.
Dual-Action Development Enhancement
Beyond potassium conveyance, the formate anion breaks down into CO2 and water in the rhizosphere. This handle nourishes useful soil organisms whereas invigorating root improvement and progressing supplement take-up efficiency.
Low Salt Record Protection
Your soil structure remains intaglio over long-term utilize. The amazingly moo salt record anticipates soil salinization and compaction, keeping up ideal developing conditions for sequential planting seasons.
Cold-Weather Performance
Unlike granular choices, this fluid arrangement keeps up adequacy in cooler temperatures. You can amplify your fertilization window without stressing approximately diminished supplement accessibility.

How It Works?
Rapid Potassium Delivery Mechanism
When you apply this solution through irrigation or foliar spray, the fully solubilized potassium ions immediately become available for plant uptake. The absence of coating or granule breakdown means your crops access nutrients within hours rather than days.
Soil Microbial Activation
The formate component undergoes natural decomposition in the root zone. This process releases carbon dioxide that soil bacteria utilize, creating a thriving microbial ecosystem that improves overall nutrient cycling.
pH-Neutral Balance
With controlled carbonate levels, the product won't disrupt your soil's natural pH balance. You maintain optimal acidity ranges for nutrient availability without additional amendments.
Osmotic Stress Reduction
The low salt index minimizes osmotic pressure around root hairs. Your plants can absorb water efficiently while taking in potassium, preventing the nutrient lockout common with high-salt fertilizers.
