Potassium Chloride (KCL)
Product Description
Potassium chloride (commonly referred to as Muriate of Potash or MOP) is the most common potassium source used in agriculture, accounting for about 98% of all potash fertilisers used worldwide.
MOP has a high nutrient concentration and is therefore relatively price competitive with other forms of potassium. The chloride content of MOP can also be beneficial where soil chloride is low. Recent research has shown that chloride improves yield by increasing disease resistance in crops. In circumstances where soil or irrigation water chloride levels are very high, the addition of extra chloride with MOP can cause toxicity. However, this is unlikely to be a problem, except in very dry environments, since chloride is readily removed from the soil by leaching.

APPLICATIONS
Potassium chloride (KCl), muriate of potash, is the most commonly used K fertilizer in the world providing crops with two nutrients, K and Cl, essential for both plants and animals. On application to most soils, both these nutrients are readily available to crops. In arable cropping, KCl is applied with other N and P containing fertilizers frequently increasing the efficiency of their utilization. The physiological and biochemical roles played by K in crop plants are mostly well understood and have been extensively investigated. Potassium is known to activate more than 60 enzymes, has a direct function in the synthesis of protein, exerts a major influence on plant water relations.
