Potassium Sulphate

Potassium Sulfate is a key source of the essential plant nutrient potassium (K), which plays a critical role in promoting healthy plant growth, improving disease resistance, and enhancing water regulation. Mined in Saskatchewan, Frankia's Potassium Sulfate is a fine-grade product that offers superior flowability, making it easy to handle and apply in various agricultural and gardening practices. Its fully water-soluble nature ensures that potassium and sulfur are readily available to plants, providing immediate benefits to soil health and crop productivity.

Nutrient Profile and Benefits of Potassium Sulfate

Soluble Potash (K2O): Potassium Sulfate contains 52.0% soluble potash, an essential nutrient that supports key plant processes such as photosynthesis, water uptake, and enzyme activation. Potassium is crucial for improving drought tolerance, enhancing root development, and increasing overall plant resilience to environmental stresses.

Sulfur (S): In addition to potassium, Potassium Sulfate provides 18.0% sulfur, a critical nutrient that aids in protein synthesis, chlorophyll formation, and the efficient uptake of other nutrients like nitrogen. Sulfur is essential for maintaining healthy plant metabolism and promoting vigorous growth.

Water-Soluble Nutrient Source: One of the key advantages of Frankia’s Potassium Sulfate is its full water solubility, which ensures that both potassium and sulfur are immediately available for plant uptake. This makes it an ideal choice for fertigation systems and other agricultural practices where rapid nutrient delivery is required.

Fine-Grade Consistency: Frankia’s Potassium Sulfate has a fine-grade consistency similar to sand, allowing for smooth flow and easy handling without clumping. This makes it especially useful in precision applications where uniform distribution is critical for optimal plant performance.

Application Recommendations

Potassium Sulfate should be applied based on professional recommendations determined by soil analysis to ensure that the appropriate nutrient levels are achieved for your specific crops or plants.

In Gardens or Agricultural Fields: Potassium Sulfate is typically applied as part of a balanced fertilizer program tailored to the specific nutrient needs of the soil and crops. Accurate soil testing is essential to determine the optimal application rate to avoid nutrient imbalances.

Weight to Volume Conversion

Potassium Sulfate has a specific gravity of approximately 0.80, allowing for easy conversion between weight and volume to ensure precise application.

• Tablespoon (15ml): 12g
• Cup (236ml): 189g
• Litre: 800g

These conversions ensure that you can apply the correct amount of Potassium Sulfate for your specific gardening or agricultural needs.

Recommendation

Potassium Sulfate is an outstanding fertilizer for providing essential potassium and sulfur to plants in a highly available form. Its fine-grade consistency, water solubility, and smooth flow characteristics make it easy to apply in various agricultural settings. By incorporating Potassium Sulfate into your soil management practices, you can improve plant health, enhance crop yields, and promote sustainable soil fertility. We highly recommend Frankia’s Potassium Sulfate for those looking to improve the potassium and sulfur content of their soil in a precise and effective manner.
