- Active ingredient
- Potassium Chloride (KCl) - Muriate of Potash
- Controls
- Host: Crops and pastures. Target: Potassium deficiency
Incitec Pivot Muriate of Potash (MOP) (50% K) is potassium chloride (KCl).
It is the most economical of the potassium fertilizers and therefore the most commonly used.
It is used in sugarcane, pastures and many horticultural crops.
Features:
Potassium stimulates the growth of strong stems and gives the plant some disease resistance by promoting thickness of the outer cell walls.
Adequate potassium can reduce moisture loss from growing plants, thereby giving some drought resistance.
Potassium improves colour, flavour and storing quality of fruit and vegetables.
MOP is the most concentrated form of granular potassium and typically the most cost effective.
The even granule size of MOP allows for accurate spreading.
MOP is commonly blended with SSP to supply major nutrients for pasture based systems
Restrictions:
MOP should not be used on salt sensitive crops, where soil salt levels are high or increasing, or where irrigation water has high salt levels.
Do not place MOP near seed unless the seed has been protected by lime-coating or inoculation.
Do not store in silos.
