T Stanes Hugo Potassium Nitrate 13:00:45 Water Soluble Fertilizer

T Stanes Hugo Potassium Nitrate 13:00:45 Water Soluble Fertilizer

T Stanes Hugo is a potassium nitrate-based water-soluble fertilizer with an NPK grade of 13:00:45. It supplies 13% nitrogen in nitrate form and 45% water-soluble potassium expressed as K2O, supporting healthy plant growth, flowering, fruit development and crop quality.

Potassium nitrate provides two essential plant nutrients in a readily soluble form. It is particularly useful in crop nutrition programmes when plants require increased potassium along with nitrate nitrogen. The formulation can be applied through foliar spraying and fertigation according to product-label instructions.

Product Details

Key Benefits of T Stanes Hugo

• High Potassium Nutrition: Supplies potassium to support fruit development, crop quality and normal plant metabolism.
• Nitrate Nitrogen Supply: Provides nitrate nitrogen for plant growth, chlorophyll formation and protein synthesis.
• Supports Flowering and Fruiting: Helps meet crop nutrient requirements during reproductive growth.
• Improves Fruit Quality: Adequate potassium nutrition contributes to fruit size, colour, firmness and sugar transport.
• Supports Stress Tolerance: Potassium helps regulate stomatal activity and plant water balance.
• Water-Soluble Formulation: Suitable for nutrient application through foliar spray and drip irrigation.
• Flexible Crop Nutrition: Can be incorporated into fertilizer programmes for vegetables, fruits, flowers and field crops.

Nutrient Composition and Functions

How Does T Stanes Hugo Work?

Potassium nitrate dissolves in water to supply nitrate and potassium ions that plants can absorb through their roots or leaves under suitable application conditions.

Nitrate nitrogen contributes to chlorophyll formation, amino acid synthesis and plant growth. Potassium supports enzyme activation, stomatal regulation, carbohydrate movement and cellular water balance.

The combination is useful when crops require potassium-rich nutrition with a moderate supply of nitrogen.

Recommended Crops

Potassium nitrate 13:00:45 is commonly used in fertilizer programmes for various crops, including:

• Vegetables: Tomato, chilli, capsicum, cucumber, brinjal and other vegetables.
• Fruit Crops: Banana, grapes, pomegranate, mango, citrus and other fruit crops.
• Field Crops: Cotton, maize, paddy, soybean and other agricultural crops.
• Flower Crops: Rose, marigold and other ornamental flowering plants.

These are general potassium nitrate applications. Follow the Hugo product label and local nutrient recommendations for crop-specific use.

Recommended Dosage and Application

Important: These are reference application rates published by Shanmukha Agritec for potassium nitrate 13:00:45, not independently verified T Stanes Hugo-specific rates. Use the dosage printed on the original Hugo label.

How to Apply T Stanes Hugo

Foliar Spray

1. Confirm the correct application rate for the crop and growth stage.
2. Measure the recommended quantity of fertilizer.
3. Dissolve completely in clean water.
4. Mix thoroughly to prepare a uniform spray solution.
5. Apply evenly to crop foliage during suitable weather conditions.
6. Avoid spraying during extreme heat or when plants are severely stressed.

Drip Irrigation / Fertigation

1. Determine crop nutrient requirements based on growth stage and soil or water analysis.
2. Dissolve the recommended fertilizer quantity in clean water.
3. Apply through a compatible fertigation system.
4. Maintain uniform fertilizer distribution throughout the irrigated area.
5. Flush the irrigation system after application as recommended.

Best Stage for Application

Potassium nitrate is commonly used during active crop growth, flowering, fruit setting and fruit development when potassium requirements are significant.

The appropriate application stage and frequency depend on the crop, existing nutrient supply and local growing conditions.

Compatibility and Precautions

Potassium nitrate is soluble in water and is used in many fertigation programmes. However, compatibility with other fertilizers and crop protection products depends on the formulation, water quality and mixing concentration.

Follow the instructions on all product labels and perform a small compatibility test before tank mixing where appropriate. Avoid excessive fertilizer concentration that could cause leaf injury or nutrient imbalance.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is T Stanes Hugo used for?

Hugo is a potassium nitrate fertilizer intended to supply nitrogen and potassium for plant growth, flowering, fruit development and crop quality.

2. What is the composition of Hugo 13:00:45?

The stated fertilizer grade contains 13% nitrogen, 0% phosphorus and 45% potassium expressed as K2O.

3. Is Hugo a water-soluble fertilizer?

Yes. It is identified as a potassium nitrate water-soluble fertilizer.

4. What is the foliar spray dosage per litre?

A reference potassium nitrate 13:00:45 product recommends 5 g per litre of water. Confirm the correct rate on the T Stanes Hugo label before application.

5. What is the fertigation dosage per acre?

The supplied reference recommends 1–3 kg per acre for potassium nitrate 13:00:45. The Hugo-specific rate should be confirmed from its original label.

6. Can potassium nitrate be used for tomato and chilli?

Yes. Potassium nitrate is commonly included in tomato and chilli nutrition programmes, particularly when potassium demand is high.

7. Does Hugo support fruit size and quality?

Potassium plays an important role in carbohydrate transport, fruit development and quality. Actual results depend on crop nutrition and growing conditions.

8. Can Hugo be applied through drip irrigation?

Potassium nitrate fertilizers are generally suitable for fertigation. Follow the original Hugo label and irrigation-system requirements.

9. What is the difference between potassium nitrate and potassium sulphate?

Potassium nitrate supplies potassium and nitrate nitrogen, while potassium sulphate supplies potassium and sulphur. Their use depends on crop nutrient requirements.

10. Does Hugo contain phosphorus?

No. The 13:00:45 grade indicates zero phosphorus.

Safety and Storage: Store the fertilizer in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials. Follow product-label precautions, use the recommended application rates and keep the product away from children and animals.
