Pekacid

The Pekacid technology combines the advantages and efficiency of phosphoric acid with the ease and safety of a solid crystalline fertilizer. The use of PeKacid (an “acid-in-the-bag” product) replaces the conventional application of technical acids for agricultural use, resulting in an easier, safer and more effective fertilization process. Due to its acidic nature, PeKacid has an anti-clogging effect on irrigation systems and also enhances nutrients’ uptake. ICL uses the PeKacid technology in many of their water-soluble formulations.

The benefits of PeKacid Technology:

• Reduces pH of hard water when applied directly into the water
• Prevents clogging in the irrigation/fertigation systems, in turn allowing uniform water and fertilizer distribution across the field
• Cleans clogged drippers by dissolving precipitates formed during irrigation/fertigation
• The acidification effect decreases P-fixation in the rhizosphere and promotes (trace)elements uptake in alkaline soils (pH>7)
• Simplifies handling thanks to the unique dry form of phosphoric acid.
