1. Product Overview
Q1. What is DCM VIVIKALI® and what is it used for?
DCM VIVIKALI® is an organic potassium specialist (NK 2-20) with no phosphorus, designed for situations where targeted potassium nutrition is required — hardening off ornamentals,
supporting fruit and root crop development, correcting potassium deficiency on sandy or magnesium-rich soils, and autumn turf maintenance.
Q2. What does potassium actually do in the plant, and why does it matter?
Potassium regulates water balance, drives nutrient transport, strengthens cell walls, and is essential for fruit quality, colour intensity, and plant resistance — making it one of the most important macronutrients for crop finish and resilience.
Q3.What does the VEGETAL certification mean?
The VEGETAL mark confirms that DCM VIVIKALI® contains only plant-derived raw materials — no animal by-products — making it suitable for growers who exclude animal-derived inputs on ethical, policy, or supply chain grounds.
2. MINIGRAN® Technology
Q4. What is MINIGRAN® Technology and why does it matter?
MINIGRAN® Technology produces homogeneous microgranules between 800 and 2,500 micron, delivering up to 60%
more even nutrient distribution than conventional granular fertilisers — with the practical benefits of dust-free, low-odour application and compatibility with all professional spreading equipment.
3. Application
Q5. What application rates are recommended for DCM VIVIKALI®?
Rates range from 2–3 kg/m³ for potting substrate top dressing up to 8–12 kg/100 m² for fruiting vegetables at planting — with separate rate guidance depending on whether VIVIKALI® is being used as the sole potassium source or as a supplement alongside other fertilisers.
Q6. When should DCM VIVIKALI® be used as the sole potassium source versus an additional source?
Use VIVIKALI® as the sole potassium source where no other fertiliser in the programme contributes significant K; use it as an additional source where a balanced fertiliser already supplies some potassium but the crop or soil requires more.
4. Choosing the Right Product
Q7. What is the difference between DCM VIVIKALI® and DCM Mix 2?
DCM Mix 2 (NPK 7-6-12) is a balanced organic fertiliser that provides nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium together; DCM VIVIKALI® (NK 2-20) is a potassium specialist used where
potassium supplementation is needed without adding significant nitrogen or phosphorus to the programme.
5. Sourcing Through Fargro
Q8. Why source DCM VIVIKALI® through Fargro?
Fargro supplies DCM VIVIKALI® with the technical support of an experienced agronomy team who can help you use it correctly within a wider programme — getting potassium nutrition right is
crop-specific and timing-dependent, and the product performs best when placed accurately.
6. Packaging
Q9. How is DCM VIVIKALI® packaged?
DCM VIVIKALI® is available in 25 kg bags, with 36 bags per euro-pallet (900 kg per pallet).
