Potassium Sulfate (Standard)
Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4) is a high purity powder with 50 weight percent K2O. It has the following features: Powder fertilizer, Acidic and Soluble in water
Applications:
Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4) is Suitable to be used for fruit trees orchards before planting or during winter service to feed all kinds of crops especially during fruit stage to increase fruit size and improving taste, firmness and shelf-life. Standard formula takes longer time to be completely dissolved in soil compared to soluble-SOP, which make potassium more available for plant for long time and increases K-use efficiency. Enhances tolerant of plants against environmental and biotic stresses. Rich in Sulfur, which is an important element for some oil crops such as onion and garlic and increases the availability of phosphorus and micro element to be used in soil.
Safety & Handling:
Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4) when in solution is acidic salt solution. Protective clothing, rubber gloves and eye protections are recommended. Rubber safety boots should also be worn in work areas. This product should be handled in areas with proper ventilation. Before using this product, refer to the MSDS (EC number: 231-915-5) for complete safety and handling guidelines.
