Muriate of Potash – MOP

Muriate of potash, also known as potassium chloride contains 60% potash. Potash is essential for plant growth and quality. It plays a vital role in the production of proteins and sugars. It also protects against draught by maintaining plants water content which in turn is a benefit for photosynthesis as leaves maintain their shape and vigor.

  • * Contains 60% Potash
  • * Chemical name : Potassium chloride.
  • * Particle size and colour : Nominal 2-4 mm particle sizing, pink in colour.
  • * Blending : Blends with most other products.
  • * Potassium stimulates the growth of strong stems and gives the plant 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 colour, flavour and storing quality of fruit and vegetables.
  • * MOP is the most concentrated form of granular potassium and typically the most cost effective.
  • * The even granule size of MOP allows for accurate spreading.
  • * MOP is commonly blended with SSP to supply major nutrients for pasture based systems.
