High chloride, high loss
Protassium+ clearly outperformed the
MOP-treated potatoes in the trial. MOP
is well known for its high chloride
content at 46 percent compared
with Protassium+ at around
1 percent. High chloride content
can have adverse effects on the
fertility and profitability of
potatoes. Specifically, high
amounts of chloride cause poor
germination, stunted root growth and, most
importantly, buildup around a plant's root system,
which consequently blocks the uptake of essential
nutrients like nitrogen and sulfur.
Protassium+ is the right K source
Protassium+ contains less than 1 percent chloride,
minimizing the risk of plant toxicity and a
resulting substandard yield.
Plus, Protassium+ has the lowest
salt index per unit of K
2
0 among
all major sources of potassium.
With 17 percent sulfur in sulfate
form and 50 percent potassium
oxide that are readily available
for uptake, Protassium+ premium
sulfate of potash delivers the vital K that
potatoes need to grow to their full potential.
