Description

Application
Fertilizer for fruits vegetables tobacco tea potatoes and other chloride-sensitive crops. Used in hydroponics and greenhouse farming. Ingredient in specialty fertilizers and nutrient blends. Industrial use in glass manufacturing dyes and chemicals. Sometimes used in pharmaceuticals and food processing.

Purpose
Improves crop yield and quality. Enhances drought resistance and disease tolerance in plants. Supports root development and fruit formation. Supplies sulfur needed for protein synthesis. Preferred where low-chloride fertilization is required.

General Description
Potassium sulfate (K2SO4) also called sulfate of potash (SOP). It is highly valued because it provides potassium without adding chloride making it suitable for chloride-sensitive crops. Dissolves in water. Main nutrients- Potassium (K) for plant growth and strength. Sulfur (S) for protein and enzyme formation.
