Results show potatoes treated with Protassium+ yield 3 Tons more U.S. No.1s per acre than potatoes treated with muriate of potash 5 . MORE U.S. NO. 1S Protassium+ provides potatoes the necessary nutrients for optimum yield, including 17% sulfate sulfur. The sulfate sulfur in Protassium+ can help keep potatoes healthy by inhibiting the spread of powdery scab disease 4 . TWO ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS BETTER STORABILITY Protassium+ delivers nutrients that help reduce shrinkage and sprouting in storage. In fact, potatoes treated with Protassium+ have fewer sprouts per tuber after 200 days in storage versus potatoes treated with other K sources (like muriate of potash) 3 . Potatoes remove up to 56 lbs. of K 2 O/100 cwt of yield 1 . Results show that replenishing fields with Protassium+ produces up to 5 Tons/acre more than fields treated with muriate of potash 2 .
