Description
Potassium bicarbonate is a safe and potent fungicide, widely used in agriculture and gardening. Its non-toxic nature makes it ideal for organic farming, effectively controlling fungal diseases while promoting plant health.
पोटेशियम बाइकार्बोनेट एक सुरक्षित और शक्तिशाली कवकनाशी है, जिसका व्यापक रूप से कृषि और बागवानी में उपयोग किया जाता है। इसकी गैर-विषैली प्रकृति इसे जैविक खेती के लिए आदर्श बनाती है, पौधों के स्वास्थ्य को बढ़ावा देने के साथ-साथ फंगल रोगों को प्रभावी ढंग से नियंत्रित करती है।
MECHANISM OF ACTION
- Altering pH Levels: Potassium bicarbonate raises the pH on the plant’s surface, creating an environment less favorable for fungal growth.
- Alkaline pH: Raises the pH of plant surfaces, creating an unfavorable environment for fungal pathogens.
- Ion Exchange: Releases potassium ions, which can competitively inhibit the growth of harmful fungi and bacteria.
- Osmotic Stress: Disrupts the osmotic balance of fungal cells, causing water loss and weakening.
- Direct Inhibition: Interferes with the metabolic processes of fungi, impairing their growth and reproduction.
- Spore Germination Suppression: Prevents the germination of fungal spores, reducing infection rates.
- Protection: Forms a protective barrier on plant surfaces, acting as a physical defense against fungal pathogens.
DOSE OF Potassium
