ICL Nova PeaK MKP – Professional Nitrogen-Free PK Finisher (0-52-34) for Precise Crop Management
As your crops approach the final stages of development, nutrient requirements shift dramatically. Excess nitrogen during this period can delay maturation and negatively impact fruit quality. When you choose ICL Nova PeaK MKP, you are opting for a high-purity mono-potassium phosphate tool designed for precise generative control. This nitrogen-free mineral salt acts as a strategic add-on for the final weeks before harvest. Select your preferred pack size above—from the 1 kg bag for targeted application to the 25 kg sack for professional-scale fertigation.
🎯 Strategic Role: Why integrate MKP into your feed program?
Nova PeaK MKP is not a standard base fertilizer; it is a specialized instrument for regulating the final stages of growth. It fulfills a clear, distinct role in any professional feed program:
-
Supporting Maturation: Use during the final third of the crop cycle. By providing a nitrogen-free source of phosphorus and potassium, you assist the plant in transitioning away from vegetative development, allowing it to focus its metabolic energy on fruit density and maturation.
-
Hydroponic Precision: Ideally suited for soilless systems (coco coir, rockwool, NFT). It allows you to fine-tune your EC (electrical conductivity) during the peak flowering phase without risking unwanted nitrogen accumulation.
-
Deficiency Correction: If your plants display symptoms of phosphorus or potassium deficiency (such as leaf discoloration or stalled bud development), this pure single-salt formulation provides an immediate, targeted fix without upsetting the overall nutrient balance.
Purity over Bulk: The Advantage of Technical-Grade MKP
Many growers rely on off-the-shelf liquid PK boosters. However, these formulations often consist largely of water and stabilizers. Choosing a high-purity mineral PK salt ensures you are paying for 100% active ingredients. With a guaranteed analysis of 52% P₂O₅ and 34% K₂O, Nova PeaK MKP delivers the concentrated nutrition necessary for robust fruit development.
Phosphorus facilitates cellular energy transfer, essential for structural development and fruit formation. Potassium regulates osmotic pressure, improving water transport and the translocation of carbohydrates (sugars and starches) into the harvestable parts of the plant. The result is improved fruit firmness, consistent density, and enhanced flavor profiles.
Core Technical Benefits:
- 💧 Rapid, Residue-Free Solubility: The fine crystalline structure dissolves instantly and completely. It prevents sludge or sediment, protecting your irrigation infrastructure, drip emitters, and pumps from blockages.
- 🛡️ Low Salt Index: Free from harmful chlorides and sodium. This minimizes osmotic stress on sensitive fine root systems, even during high-performance feed cycles.
- 🧪 pH-Buffering Capacity: The product exhibits a mildly acidic reaction (pH ~4.5 in a 1% solution), which helps stabilize the nutrient solution within the optimal uptake window for most crops.
Application Guidelines: The "A-B Tank" Protocol
Nova PeaK MKP is highly concentrated; therefore, precision is key. When utilizing professional dosing systems, please observe the industry-standard "A-B Tank" rule:
Note on Concentrated Stock Solutions: When mixing stock tanks for automatic dosing, never mix Nova PeaK MKP directly with concentrated calcium (e.g., Calcium Nitrate) or magnesium sulfate. This will cause immediate chemical precipitation (gypsum formation), which blocks nutrient uptake and clogs lines. In the final, diluted irrigation water, these components are fully compatible.
Dosing Recommendations
Due to its high concentration, use Nova PeaK MKP as an add-on, not a base:
-
Soil and Coco Substrate: Apply 0.5 to 1.0 gram per liter of irrigation water (approx. 5–10 grams per 10 liters). Reduce your base flowering fertilizer by 25% to maintain a balanced nutrient profile.
-
Foliar Application (Correction only): For rapid deficiency repair, dissolve 5 grams per liter of water. Apply only under low-light conditions (evening) to prevent leaf burn.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Can I use MKP as a standalone fertilizer?
No. Because it contains zero nitrogen and no essential micronutrients, it cannot support plant life on its own. Use it exclusively as a strategic add-on to your base nutrient program during the final stages of the cycle.
-
How does this differ from liquid PK 13/14 boosters?
Concentration and purity. Liquid boosters are largely water. Nova PeaK MKP provides the pure active ingredient (52/34 ratio), offering significantly higher yield per Euro and avoiding the storage of unnecessary water volumes.
-
Does it clog irrigation systems?
Absolutely not. Because it is a high-purity technical grade, it leaves no residues, sludge, or crystalline deposits in pipes or emitters, making it the preferred choice for advanced hydroponic and fertigation systems.
