PRODUCT: QUELAFERT® FOS-K (POTASSIUM PHOSPHITE FUNGICIDE)

PRODUCT TYPE: Fertilizer-Fungicide

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

QUELAFERT® FOS-K is a liquid fertilizer with fungistatic action, formulated with soluble phosphorus (30% P₂O₅) and potassium (20% K₂O). Thanks to its content of potassium phosphite, this product offers dual functionality: on one hand, it acts as a source of essential nutrients during key stages of crop development; on the other, it effectively prevents diseases caused by oomycetes, such as damping-off and root rot.

With a slightly acidic pH between 3.5 and 4.5 and a density of 1.45 g/cc, it provides excellent stability and compatibility with numerous agricultural products. It can be applied both as a foliar spray and through fertigation, adapting to the demands of intensive, horticultural, and fruit crops.

POTASSIUM PHOSPHITE FUNGICIDE BENEFITS

The use of QUELAFERT® FOS-K strengthens plant structure and stimulates root development, improving water and nutrient uptake during critical stages such as flowering, fruit set, fruit filling, and ripening. As a potassium phosphite fungicide, its preventive action against fungal diseases helps reduce the use of conventional fungicides, promoting a sustainable, zero-residue agricultural model.

Moreover, its versatility makes it a strategic tool in advanced nutrition programs, increasing crop yield and quality without compromising plant health or ecosystem balance. Its formulation as a potassium phosphonate fungicide ensures effective protection while supporting sustainable farming practices.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does FOS-K contain agrochemicals?

No. Although it has fungistatic action, QUELAFERT® FOS-K does not contain conventional pesticides or aggressive chemicals. Its effect is based on potassium phosphite, which stimulates the plant’s natural defenses against pathogens.

When should I apply FOS-K for optimal results?

It should be applied during stages when the crop requires higher phosphorus and potassium intake, such as initial root development, flowering, fruit set, fruit filling, and ripening. Frequency may vary between 2 and 6 applications per cycle, with intervals of 15 to 30 days depending on the crop type.

Can FOS-K be used continuously over time?

Yes, its sustained use is safe and beneficial. As a potassium phosphonate fungicide, it generates no toxic residues and can be applied across multiple stages of the crop cycle, helping to maintain the plant’s immune response active without causing physiological imbalances.

Is FOS-K compatible with beneficial fauna?

Yes. It is a product that respects beneficial fauna and insects, as it does not act as an insecticide or alter the crop’s microbiota. Its mode of action is indirect and safe for the agricultural ecosystem.

Which products should I avoid mixing with FOS-K?

Mixing with mineral oils, sulfur, and alkaline-reacting products should be avoided. It is also important not to apply it together with copper-based products. If copper has been used previously, it is recommended to wait at least 15 days before applying FOS-K.
