Pekacid: instructions for the use of fertilizer and composition, dosage and analogues

"Pekacid" is a new fertilizer based on phosphorus and potassium. It is actively used in drip irrigation systems. Top dressing was developed by Israeli experts. The substance has a pronounced acidifying effect on water and at the same time is an effective source of potassium and phosphorus. Due to its unique characteristics, the composition cleans drip irrigation systems. In order for the substance to give the desired effect, it is important to use it correctly.

Composition and beneficial properties of fertilizer

The chemical is available as a powder or white granules.The composition of "Pekacid" contains 60% phosphorus. It is available in the form of phosphoric anhydride. Also, the substance includes 20% potassium, which is present there in the form of an oxide. At the same time, the fertilizer does not contain chlorine or sodium.

Pekacid is characterized by the following agrochemical properties:

high phosphorus content;
good solubility in water;
prevention of the appearance and elimination of formed limescale in irrigation systems;
acidifying characteristics is a very important property for hard water containing bicarbonates and for soils with pH values above 7.2;
improving the absorption of minerals by cultivated plants - this is due to the acidification of the soil solution;
no sodium, chlorine and other harmful components - the composition helps to increase yield parameters and improve fruit quality.

Operation principle

The unique properties of "Pekacid" help to create good conditions for growing various plants.

The use of a substance allows you to achieve the following results:

maintain normal acid-base balance of soil and water;
improve the absorption of micro- and macronutrients from the soil by roots, making them more available to crops;
reduce nitrogen evaporation;
prevent limescale clogging of drippers and neutralize bicarbonates.

Pekacid helps to saturate crops with potassium and phosphorus and at the same time reduces labor costs for cleaning irrigation systems.

What plants are used for

The drug should be used when the water contains an excessive amount of bicarbonates - more than 1.5-2 millimoles per 1 liter. Also, the composition is used in the alkaline composition of the liquid, the pH of which exceeds 7.2.In such a situation, "Pekacid" is a non- alternative fertilizer that is used to make working fluids. The most effective substance is considered to be on carbonate soil types.

"Pekacid" can be used in the working fluids of drip irrigation systems and low-volume hydroponics. It can also be used when watering with a hose. The composition is suitable for potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and other vegetable crops. They can also feed fruit trees, seedlings, flowers, grapes.

Rules for the use of Pekacid

When using Pekacid, it is important to strictly follow the instructions. Fertilizer is used not only with a lack of minerals, but also to prevent this condition. The main indications for the use of the drug include the following:

changing the shade of the lower leaves to yellow;
leaf blanching and shredding;
lack of buds and flowers;
deceleration of development and growth of new branches;
curvature of the bark of fruit trees after the spring temperature drops to negative parameters.

Feeding is required at different stages of crop development. In this case, the dosage must be strictly observed. On average, 3 kilograms of the drug per 1000 square meters are used to prepare the solution.

For the first time, the finished composition must be applied for irrigation at the time of planting the seedlings on the beds or a week after the seeds hatch. The greatest effect from the use of top dressing is manifested on alkaline soil types and when using water with acidity parameters of more than 7.2.

"Pekacid" can be used for various vegetables and fruit plants. To avoid an overdose of the drug, it is important to follow the instructions clearly. There are several options for using top dressing:

For use on large areas, you need to take 2-3 kilograms of funds per 1000 square meters. For small beds, mix 1 small spoon of product with 1 liter of liquid.
For irrigation 1-2 times a month, it is worth taking 0.5-1 kilogram of the drug per 1000 square meters.
If no more than 3 irrigations are planned during the summer, you need to take 2-3 kilograms of the drug per 1000 square meters.

On average, the seasonal cost of the drug, excluding the content of calcium and phosphorus in the soil, is 50-100 kilograms per 1 hectare.

Safety

"Pekacid" belongs to the third class of danger. When working with it, you need to adhere to the following safety rules:

use gloves;
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling is complete;
avoid inhalation or eye contact;
when the drug enters the body, immediately consult a doctor;
keep product out of the reach of children and pets.

Compatibility with other fertilizers

The product can be combined with many fertilizers. These include the following:

magnesium, potassium or ammonium sulfate;
potassium or ammonium nitrate;
urea;
micronutrients in the form of chelates;
calcium, magnesium or potassium nitrate.

Analogues

There are no exact analogues of Pekacid in composition. The closest substance is the Israeli-made Nutrivant Drip. It can be used with increased water hardness and for alkaline types of soil.

Composition mixes well with water and improves the absorption of nutrients by plants. The drug can be used with a drip irrigation system. With its help, it is possible to improve the quality characteristics of the crop and clean up fragments of the irrigation system.

"Pekacid" is an effective tool that helps to saturate cultivated plants with potassium and phosphorus. It perfectly cleans irrigation systems from plaque. It is important to follow the instructions clearly.
