DESCRIPTION
Potassium chloride is the fertilizer with the highest potassium concentration in the world market.
Therefore, for the same amount of product its potassium contribution is higher and lower cost than any other source. As with all potassium fertilizers, during its reaction in the soil, K+ ions are retained between clays and organic matter, while Cl- ions are easily leached out. In intensive management situations, as in the case of greenhouses, some accumulation of chlorides may occur with the consequent salinization of the soil profile. If this happens we recommend its washing with waters of low electrical conductivity.
APPLICATIONS
Physical compatibility: It is the traditional source of potassium used in mixtures physical, since it can be used in combination with other fertilizers. Chloride has a very important negative effect on the quality of the culture of the tobacco and some deciduous fruit trees. For that reason, any mixture Physics intended for these crops must be made with sulfate or nitrate of potassium. On the other hand, it can be advantageously used in all other types of crop, both in applications in bands and in coverage without incorporating into the floor. Due to its strong saline effect, and to avoid cases of phytotoxicity, We recommend not placing next to seeds or newly emerged seedlings. Must be distribute on the surface of the land, in a homogeneous way, incorporating it to the soil, especially in clayey soils.
It is one of the most soluble potassium salts, and can be used in fertigation although great care should be taken with the presence of impurities since it is not the most recommended presentation in this type of driving. As a source of potassium in annual crops, it can be used at time of planting or up to a month before it. As bottom fertilizer for woody crops it is advisable to carry out a potassium fertilization prior to the planting and later carry out only maintenance fertilization a little before sprouting begins.
