Potassium Sulphate

Sulphate of Potash (SOP)
(Potassium Sulphate)

• SOP provides both potassium and Sulphur in soluble forms.
• SOP contains no chloride and hence has a much lower salt index than MOP. Where soils are saline or sodic and where irrigation water may have high chloride levels SOP is the preferred form of potassium to use.
• Where seeds or transplants are placed in direct contact with fertiliser, SOP is much less likely to cause root burn of plants.
• Potassium stimulates the growth of strong stems and gives the plant some disease resistance by promoting thickness of the outer cell walls.
• Adequate potassium can reduce moisture loss from growing plants, thereby giving some drought resistance.
• Potassium improves color, flavor and storing quality of fruit and vegetables.
