Potassium Nitrate

PROPERTIES OF POTASSIUM NITRATE

By Potassium Products No Comments

All figures quoted should be considered as a typical product analysis and may vary due to manufacturing process and raw materials. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES A granular crystal or fine crystalline white powder. Critical Relative Humidity @ 30ºC: 90.5. Solubility @ 20ºC: 47 g/100ml of water (31% concentration). Water quality is critical in determining solubility, in some areas advisors recommend  25g /100ml water (20% concentration) to ensure solubility. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Chemical formula: KNO3. 38% Potassium (K). 13% Nitrogen (N). Salt index: 74 (relative to Sodium Nitrate at 100). Acidification index: non acidifying AGRONOMIC BENEFITS Suitable for crops that are sensitive to chloride. Technical grade product should preferentially be used for foliar feeding and drip irrigation. Compatible for blending with MAP, LAN, Urea, Ammonium Sulphate ,Potassium Chloride. Please note: Consult a qualified person (Act 36 of 1947) for specific applications / recommendations.

Potassium Chloride - KCl - MOP

PROPERTIES OF POTASSIUM CHLORIDE – KCl – MOP

By FERTILIZER PRODUCTS, Potassium Products No Comments

All figures quoted should be considered as a typical product analysis and may vary due to manufacturing process and impurities. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES A fine or granular product. Colour of product may vary from white – pink – red and grey depending on minerology and impurities. Critical Relative Humidity @ 30°C: 84. Solubility at 20°C: 34.2g / 100ml water CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Chemical formula: KCl. 50% Potassium (K). 50% Chloride (Cl). Salt index: 114 (relative to Sodium Nitrate @ 100). AGRONOMIC BENEFITS & CAUTIONS 1. The cheapest and most concentrated source of K. 2. May be put through irrigation systems. 2. NPK plant mixtures that have been band placed and contain combined  Nitrogen and Potassium content in excess of 75kg could cause salt burn. 5. Compatible for blending with MAP, LAN, Urea, Ammonium Sulphate. Please note: Consult a qualified person (Act 36 of 1947) for specific applications / recommendations.
