MOP Fertilizer
Muriate of potash fertilizer, 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.
Benefits of MOP fertilizer
-
Potassium stimulates the growth of strong stems and gives the plant disease resistance by promoting the thickness of the outer cell walls.
-
Adequate potassium can reduce moisture loss from growing plants, thereby giving some drought resistance.
-
Potassium improves the colour, flavour and storage 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.
