Multi-PK - NPK 0:52:34 Water-Soluble Fertilizer - Multiplex Products
Item description
Multiplex Multi PK (0:52:34): The Nitrogen-Free Bloom Booster for Premium Fruit Quality
Stop vegetative growth and force your plants to flower. Maximize fruit size, sugar content (Brix), and color with this premium water-soluble fertilizer.
Is your crop growing too many leaves but not enough flowers? You need Multiplex Multi PK (0:52:34). Unlike standard fertilizers, this formulation contains Zero Nitrogen. It sends a powerful signal to the plant to stop growing stems and start producing energy (Phosphorus) and filling fruits (Potassium).
Perfect for Pomegranate, Tomato, Grapes, and Melons during the fruiting stage.

- ? Stops Leafy Growth: By withholding Nitrogen, it forces the plant to focus 100% of its energy on reproductive development (Flowering & Fruiting).
- ? Sweeter, Heavier Fruits: High Potassium (34%) drives sugar transport into the fruit, increasing weight, firmness, and shelf life.
- ⚡ Instant Energy: Contains 52% Phosphorus in a super-soluble form (MKP), providing immediate ATP energy for flower blooming.
- ?️ Disease Resistance: Proven to help suppress Powdery Mildew on leaves by strengthening the cell walls and altering leaf pH.
- ? 100% Water Soluble: Ideal for drip irrigation and hydroponics. It has a low salt index, making it safe for delicate roots.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Multi PK acts as a "Metabolic Switch" for your crops.
- The Reproductive Trigger: By cutting off Nitrogen supply and flooding the plant with Phosphorus, it stimulates the production of ATP (Energy), forcing the plant to transition from growing leaves to making flowers.
- The Sugar Pump: Potassium acts as an osmotic pump, moving sugars produced in the leaves directly into the fruit. This increases "Brix" (sweetness) and fruit weight.
- Root & Cell Strength: The acidic phosphorus strengthens root systems and thickens cell walls, making it harder for fungal diseases to penetrate.
Result: A compact plant loaded with heavy, high-quality fruits.
Target Crops & Synergistic Solutions
| Crop | Goal & Micronutrient Synergy |
|---|---|
| Tomato & Solanaceous Veg |
Goal: Prevent "Blotchy Ripening"
and firm up fruit. Synergy: Use with Manganese if leaves show yellow mottling (Interveinal Chlorosis). |
| Pomegranate & Grapes |
Goal: Deep red color (Anthocyanin) and High
Sugar. Synergy: Apply with Boron/Calcium (separate tank) to prevent cracking. |
| Cauliflower & Cabbage |
Goal: Compact curds. Synergy: MUST use Multiplex Molybdenum to prevent "Whiptail" disorder. |
| Legumes (Soy/Beans) |
Goal: Pod filling. Synergy: Use Molybdenum to activate root nodules for Nitrogen fixation. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Do NOT mix Multi PK with Calcium (Calcium Nitrate) or Magnesium fertilizers in the same tank. They will form a stone-like solid.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Application Method | Dose (Per Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (Per Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray | 600 g - 1 kg | 200 L | 3 g - 5 g | 0 Days |
| Fertigation (Drip) | 2 kg - 3 kg | - | - | 0 Days |
| Hydroponics | - | - | Add to Stock Tank B | 0 Days |
*Use higher dosage for fruit filling stage. Use lower dosage for pre-flowering.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at three critical stages: 1. Just before flowering (to induce blooms), 2. During fruit set, 3. At "Color Break" (Veraison) for sweetness.
- Tank Mixing: Use "Tank B" for Multi PK. Do NOT mix with Calcium Nitrate or Magnesium Sulfate in concentrated form.
- Temperature: Dissolves best in warm water. If water is freezing cold, agitate well.
- Foliar Tips: Always use a wetting agent (like Maxiwet). Spray in the cool morning hours to avoid leaf burn.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why does it have 0% Nitrogen?
Nitrogen promotes leafy (vegetative) growth. By removing
Nitrogen, Multi PK stops the plant from growing taller and
forces it to use its energy for flowering and fruiting
instead.
2. Can I mix Multi PK with Calcium Nitrate?
NO. They react to form Calcium
Phosphate, a white stone-like precipitate that will clog your drip
lines and is useless to the plant. Apply them on different days or
in separate tanks.
3. Can I use it for Hydroponics?
Yes, it is the standard source of Phosphorus for
hydroponics. It helps buffer the pH to around 4.5, which is
excellent for nutrient availability.
4. My crops are yellowing. Is Multi PK enough?
If yellowing is interveinal (between veins) on young
leaves, you likely need Manganese or
Iron as well. Multi PK provides energy, but
micronutrients provide the "machinery" for
photosynthesis.
5. Will it burn my plants?
Multi PK has a very low "Salt Index" (8.4), making
it one of the safest fertilizers. However, do not exceed
5g/L for foliar sprays, especially in hot weather.
Safety & Disclaimer
Always read and follow the instructions on the official product label. Perform a "Jar Test" before mixing with pesticides. Note: If using Molybdenum supplements alongside this, restrict grazing for cattle to prevent toxicity (Molybdenosis).
