Potassium phosphite|CAS13492-26-7

The mechanism of action of potassium phosphite is mainly a series of biochemical reactions of +3-valent phosphorus in crops, soil and other environments. The specific mechanism of action for different conditions is very complex. The main function of potassium phosphite in agriculture is fungicide, which has been proved to be very effective through a large number of use cases. Different crops are used in different growing periods with different dosages. Its solubility is very good, and it can be soluble with most trace elements under the regulation of additives, etc. Its safety is also good.

Ⅰ, the mechanism of fungicide and disease resistance

The +3-valent phosphorus and +5-valent phosphorus have completely different action mechanisms. The +3-valent phosphorus has a good inhibitory effect on fungal diseases, inducing the crop to produce continuous immunity to pathogenic fungi and viruses. Meanwhile, +3-valent phosphorus can be bi-directionally transported through xylem and phloem, and is absorbed faster than phosphorus in the phosphate state (+5-valent), which has a very good effect on promoting roots and flowers, and increasing the content of soluble cellular matter. Potassium phosphite is involved in the plant's defense response to pathogens, transmitting disease and trauma signals to other parts of the plant causing systemic acquired resistance. When the pathogen invades, potassium phosphite induces the production of lignin in seedling cells, which increases the thickness of the cell wall, making the cell wall hard and firm, confining the pathogen to the cell wall, individual cells, or localized tissues, and thus deterring its further invasion and expansion. The +3-valent HPO3 root is an acquired system-induced resistance to disease, a type of generalized biological control. It can be absorbed by plant leaves and roots and transported to the plant body, exerting its direct bactericidal function, and at the same time initiating the disease-resistant defense system, which will stimulate the plant to produce phytodefensins and thus produce disease resistance when the pathogen invades the plant.

2, Crops in general: 1 weekly application at a rate of 6-10 liters/ha throughout the growing period, especially during periods of adversity.

3, Vegetable crops grown in rockwool (soilless vegetables): 2 applications in total, one immediately after planting and the second one at the beginning of fruit set, at a rate of 3-5 liters/ha per 1,000 liters of water for irrigation.

4, Strawberry: 4 applications, from planting to the first fruiting period, with a dosage of 8-10 liters.
