Proven: Nutrient Uptake In Just One Hour

When it comes to foliar sprays, timing is everything. Growers often face tight application windows and unpredictable weather. The ability for a nutrient to move quickly into the plant doesn’t just improve efficiency; it helps ensure your application delivers results, even when conditions aren’t perfect.

The Objective: 

We designed a simple but powerful trial: Could a foliar application of SUPER POTASSIUM^® move into plant tissue within just one hour? 

The Trial: 

The trial was conducted on sweet corn in Casa Grande, Arizona. A small plot was split into treated and untreated sections, with the treated side receiving a foliar spray of SUPER POTASSIUM at a rate equivalent to two quarts per acre.

One hour after application, leaves were collected, thoroughly washed to remove any surface residue, dried, and analyzed for potassium content in the Huma laboratory.

The Results:

In just one hour, the treated plants showed a 22% increase in potassium levels within the leaf tissue compared to the pre-treatment. No phytotoxicity was observed.

Why This Matters:

Rapid absorption turns every spray into a smart investment. When nutrients enter the plant quickly, you get more than just an efficient uptake; you gain rain-fast protection. This study demonstrates that SUPER POTASSIUM, powered by Micro Carbon Technology, is rapidly absorbed into plant tissue, helping safeguard your investment even when the weather is unpredictable. With Huma, you’re not just spraying, you’re delivering nutrients with confidence.
