NanoK® application drives a 32% greater uptake of potassium in peppers during early fruiting

June 6, 2022

Arcadia, FL

Baseline tissue samples pulled: 4/25/2022

After treatment samples pulled: 4/28/2022

Crop: Bell Pepper, Bloom to early fruiting

Products: 2 qt/ac LOKOMOTIVE ® , 4 oz/ac NanoK ®


In this latest trial from Arcadia, FL, a bell pepper grower trials LOKOMOTIVE ® (2-0-25 potassium acetate) at a 2 qt/ac application with and without 4 oz/ac NanoK ® . All tissue samples were pulled at random throughout a four-acre block.


After the potassium acetate application, the potassium levels dropped from 3.26% to 2.73%. After the potassium acetate with NanoK ® application, the potassium levels increased from 3.00% to 3.48%. 

Not only was there a better efficiency of potassium in the plant, but adding NanoK® offered better efficacy of nitrogen and phosphorus within plant tissue. Most noteably there was a slight increase in phosphorus with NanoK® application versus a decline in the potassium acetate only application.

NanoK® delivers potassium acetate through Aqua-Yield® nanoliquid technology to provide potassium to crops all season long. Potassium is a vital nutrient for plant growth. Applying NanoK® ensures a strong plant structure resulting in enhanced crop quality and yield. NanoK® also decreases drought stress and boosts the plant’s immune system to fight off disease.
