Potassium Sulphate Overview and its Benefits

Sulphate of Potassium (SOP) is a pure potassium fertiliser that is free of chloride (Cl) and has a low salt index. It's also known as a quality-improvement fertiliser, and it's used on both open-field and protected-cultivation crops.

It is a fertiliser that is used to aid in the growth of plants. Potassium sulphate is the ideal fertiliser for certain crops that cannot tolerate chloride-containing fertilisers. As a result, it's utilised to aid the growth of some fruits, vegetables, and tobacco. Plants benefit from gypsum. Although calcium sulphate is beneficial to plants, few people consider it to be a significant source of plant nutrients. Gypsum is well known for its ability to improve soil structure, increase aeration and infiltration, and reduce nutrient runoff and erosion.

For routine industrial handling, there is little risk. Ingestion: Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea may occur as a result of gastrointestinal irritation. Dust inhalation can irritate the respiratory tract. This is not likely to be a long-term threat.

 

POTASSIUM SULFATE BENEFITS (SOP)

While muriate of potash (also known as potassium chloride) is the most popular potash fertiliser, it is not acceptable in all situations. SOP not only enhances production and crop quality, but it also has a variety of advantages, as many people are discovering:

CHLORIDES HAVE BEEN REDUCED

MOP has a considerable amount of chloride. While this is desirable for some crops, it can be harmful to others, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts, which are chloride sensitive. Because many chloride-sensitive crops are high-value, maximising quality and yield is very important.

Toxicity can also arise when MOP is added to soils that are already high in chlorides. When working with chloride-sensitive crops or chloride-rich soils, SOP is the best choice because it contains far fewer chlorides.

SULFUR HAS BEEN ADDED

Potassium sulphate also supplies plant-available sulphur in addition to potassium. Sulfur deficiency has become more widespread in recent years, making goods that contain the secondary vitamin more appealing.

 

SALINITY LEVELS ARE LOWER

When soil salinity is an issue, potassium sulphate is the best alternative because it has a lower salt index than most potash fertilisers.
