Polifoska 8 (8-24-24) Grupa Azoty - NPK fertiliser

Polifoska 8 fertiliser with uniform light grey to dark grey granules, grain size class 2-5 mm, at least 92%. Coated granules, not permanently caking. Bulk density: 0.9-1.0 kg/dm³.

Polifoska 8 NPK(S) 8-24-24-(9) 50 kg Chemical composition:

• 8% nitrogen (N) in ammonium form,
• 24% phosphorus (P2O5) soluble in neutral ammonium citrate and water, i.e. available in the form of mono- and diammonium phosphate, and 21% soluble in water,
• 24% potassium (K2O) soluble in water, in the form of potassium chloride, i.e. potassium salt
• 9% sulphur trioxide (SO3) soluble in water, in the form of sulphate.

Polifoska 8 Compound fertiliser B.1.1. Purpose and application :

This fertiliser can be used for all cultivated plants: winter and spring cereals, industrial and root crops, on grassland and in vegetable and orchard cultivation. POLIFOSKA^® 8 is recommended for soils with similar phosphorus and potassium content, under proper organic fertilisation conditions and especially for cereals when straw is incorporated.

The highest efficiency is achieved by applying POLIFOSKA^® 8 before sowing, mixing it with the soil to a depth of 10-20 cm. This fertiliser can also be used in early spring as top dressing for winter crops. Perennial crops should be fertilised in spring. POLIFOSKA^® 8 can be mixed directly before spreading with urea, ammonium nitrate and Saletrzak/Salmag, and at any time with potassium salt.

Recommended Polifoska 8 doses in kg/ha*

PLANT	SOIL PHOSPHORUS AND POTASSIUM CONTENT
	very low and low	medium¹	high and very high
Winter and spring cereals – per 1 t of grain	50	33	21

Peas, broad beans – per 1 t of seeds	70+40 kg K	50+15 kg K	35
Lupins – per 1 t of seeds	83+20 kg K	65	35
Potato with manure³ – per 10 t of tubers	67+20 kg K	30+20 kg K	20 kg K
Potato without manure – per 10 t of tubers	100+40 kg K	67+40 kg K	33+35 kg K

Field-grown grasses and grasses with legumes – per 10 t of green mass	75+70 kg K	60+50 kg K	40+30 kg K

*depending on the expected yield, calculate the Polifoska 8 dose, e.g. wheat grain yield 5 t/ha on soil with medium phosphorus and potassium content apply 33 kg Polifoska 8 per 1 tonne of expected grain yield (from the table) x 5 tonnes = 165 kg/ha Polifoska 8 or e.g. potato tuber yield 30 t/ha on soil with medium phosphorus and potassium content grown with 25 t/ha manure, apply 30 kg Polifoska 8 and 20 kg potassium salt per 10 tonnes of expected tuber yield (from the table) x 3 = 90 kg/ha Polifoska 8 and 60 kg/ha potassium salt;

1- if soil content is unknown, doses recommended for medium content soil should be used until soil analysis is performed;
2 - kg/ha potassium salt 58-60%;
3 - recommended manure dose for potato 25 t/ha, for maize for silage and for beet 35 t/ha.
