Potassium bicarbonate 99.7% (KHCO3) is also known as potassium hydrogen carbonate or potassium acid carbonate. Potassium bicarbonate is a white, alkaline solid used in fire extinguishers, wine making, to make soft drinks, to neutralize acids and also used as a leavening agent in baking.
It's naturally present in humans, animals, plants and virtually all living organisms. As a base, potassium bicarbonate is at the high end of the pH scale, 8.0 - 8.6pH.
Potassium bicarbonate is an accepted fungicide in organic farming. As a foliar spray has been found to stop and inhibit the growth of fungal pathogens and the spores (Alternaria blight, apple scab, black spot, blights, botrytis, downy mildews, molds, phytophthora, powdery mildew, and Septoria leaf spot) on many plants and crops. Found to be most effective as a preventative.
It's very effective on mildews as it uses various modes of action against mildews causing them to desiccate and collapse therefore the mildews having a low resistance to potassium bicarbonate. Plants also benefit form the extra intake of potassium.
