Sulphate of Potash - Granular is the base component for the Potash Gold range. It is virtually chloride free with a salt index of only 46 (whereas Potassium Chloride is 114). The essential sulphur content is in the readily plant available sulphate form. Sulphate of Potash - Granular consists of grey or white granules.

Why Use
- Providing potassium to crops sensitive to chloride and salt
- Contains a low salt index helping to avoid the plant taking up excess water
- Mixes well with all other fertilisers

Caution when mixing
Sulphate of Potash - Granular mixes well with other products and is rarely used on its own.
Segregation may occur when mixed with product with differences of particle size.

Benefits
This product is mainly used for high value horticultural crop production where the extra benefits of low salt index and sulphate supply offset the higher cost compared to Potassium Chloride. This product is ideal for crops sensitive to chloride and to salt. A low salt index also avoids the plant taking up excess water, thus potentially improving the plants' resistance to disease.
Sulphate of Potash - Granular is ideal for providing potassium to crops sensitive to chloride and salt e.g. tomatoes, avocados, lettuce, melons, french beans, tobacco, citrus, kiwifruit, raspberries and strawberries.

Application and storage
Actual spreading rates will vary according to farm type, climate, productivity and soil type. Soil testing and fertiliser plans are available to ensure you use the right product at the correct rate. Call our Customer Centre for information.
As with most solid fertilisers, Potassium Sulphate can be stored over a season as long as it is kept in a cool, dry, well ventilated area.
Sulphate of Potash - Granular is manufactured via the Mannheim process, where potassium chloride and sulphuric acid is combined in a furnace heated to around 800 C.
