Vital Hi-K® is a water-soluble NPK formula designed to be used when potassium is required as a key element; this formulation is balanced with other nutrients to improve quality, maturity, yield and full growth of any harvestable crop. Potassium is responsible for the activation of more than 80 enzymes that regulate plant growth and harvest quality making Vital Hi-K® highly effective on produce quality, increasing shelf life and brix value in vegetables and fruits. It impacts sugar, oil and fiber content in fruits and grains also improves packout in produce with better size, shape, color, taste and shelf life.

Vital Hi-K®has been added with RBT® Root Bioenhancer Technology–which is the combination of organic acids in precise balance with inorganic nutrients that boost root biomass development and increase nutrient uptake by an improved interaction between soil and root system. A healthier and well-developed root system will allow to absorb a higher amount of nutrients hence the plant will express its full genetic potential in terms of enhanced growth, higher yields and improved quality on grains or produce.

Five nutrients plus organic acids* in one formula

11-3-42 + 1.6S + 0.6Mg + OA*

• Extra K promotes osmo-regulation, improves drought resistance.
• Improves disease resistance.
• Improves seed viability in seed production.
• 100% orthophosphate base; phosphorus will be readily available to be absorbed by the plant without any delays or further breakdown in the soil.
• Slightly acidic pH
• Premium raw materials for maximum seed safety

Vital Hi-K® is a key part of Vital Plant Nutrition Program™, that consists of a pop-up starter fertilizer and three Hi-specialty fertilizers, that can be applied either straight or combined, and Vital Hi-Calc® a simple yet powerful plant nutrient calculator that allows the farmer to follow suggested nutrition programs or create their own; from a very simple program with only one application either as preplant, pop-up, or sidedress, to a very complete program with multiple applications covering all modes, one preplant, pop-up, and 2 or 3 sidedress applications. Vital Plant Nutrition Program™ is designed to fit the specific needs of any crop and any farmer.

Directions for Use

How to prepare Vital Hi-K® solution:

Fill the tank with water to 91% of its capacity, then add 2.08 lb of Vital Hi-K® per each gallon of water added; final stock solution obtained must reach 100% of the tank capacity. Be sure to dissolve the product completely with constant agitation during the mixing process.

How much to apply of Vital Hi-K® solution:

Vital Hi-K® can be applied by sidedress, topdress, or through fertigation. In accordance with concentration of solution (see Chart 1) and soil texture/organic matter content (see Chart 2), apply 5 to 28 gal of Vital Hi-K® per acre.
