Potassium salt of active phosphorous (PSAP); An innovative bioactive p and k fertilizer cum elicitor molecule in improving growth, yield, quality and climate resilience of crop plants

Plants require conditions of balanced plant nutrition to realize its maximum genetic potential. A pre-determined ratio of nutrients is more critical than actual concentration of the individual elements. Two or more elements working together to create an overall improved physiological state in plants is called physiological synergism which is an important concern of nutrient use efficiency. Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) are an essential elements for carrying essential plant physiological functions and also serves an adaptive significance under various environmental cues. The first imbalance that needs to be corrected in the present day agriculture is the undying love for nitrogen as a fertilizer. PSAP is a research molecule designed and developed to cater to the need of crop plants and the mode of its application helps to satisfy the P and K demand at critical growth stages and to significantly improve nutrient use efficiency in general and nitrogen use efficiency in particular. The key to invention of PSAP is the need of the farming community of efficient and timely phosphorus availability by overcoming the soil fixation and other transformation barriers and the activated phosphorus and potassium combination in PSAP helps them readily available.
