PeKacid™, the brand new Fully-Soluble Acidic Fertilizer from Rotem Amfert
Rotem Amfert, a subsidiary of the Israeli Group ICL Fertilizers has just launched the production of PeKacid™ (0-60-20 solid mono crystal), a highly acidic (pH = 2.2), fully-soluble PK fertilizer formulated for fertigation applications for calcareous soils and/or high bicarbonate content irrigation waters. An “acid in the bag" product, PeKacid™ is aimed at replacing the conventional application of technical and agricultural-grade phosphoric acid, resulting in an easier, safer and more effective fertilization process.
PeKacid™ is intended for soil-less as well as open-field horticulture fertigation applications, and is well-suited for use in blends of fully-soluble fertilizers as a tool for incorporating calcium, magnesium and micronutrients into the mixed fertilizers. Due to its acidic nature, PeKacid™ has an anticlogging action and enhances nutrients’ uptake.
The fruit of intensive in-house development and technology, the patent-protected PeKacid™ is the third high-technology fertilizer to be developed and produced by NovaPeaK, the Specialty Fertilizers segment of ICL Fertilizers. NovaPeaK’s first soluble fertilizer was MKP (PeaK), which it pioneered in the early 90’s, followed by the 2005 launch of its fully soluble MAP (NovaMAP™) fertilizer. With PeKacid™, NovaPeaK is now strengthening its position in the Soluble Phosphate fertilizers sector.
