FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Click on each question to see the answer.

What is potassium chloride (muriate of potash) and when should I use it?

Potassium chloride, commonly known as muriate of potash, is the most concentrated and economical potassium fertilizer available, containing 62% K₂O. It's ideal for:

  • Field crops like corn, wheat, soybeans, and alfalfa that tolerate chloride
  • Lawns and pastures requiring cost-effective potassium
  • Situations where chloride is beneficial (disease suppression in small grains)
  • Large-scale agricultural operations prioritizing cost efficiency
  • Soils deficient in both potassium and chloride

With its high concentration and lower cost per unit of K₂O compared to other potassium sources, muriate of potash is the preferred choice for chloride-tolerant crops.

Which crops should NOT receive potassium chloride?

Avoid using potassium chloride on chloride-sensitive crops, as it contains approximately 47% chloride. Sensitive crops include:

  • Tobacco: Chloride reduces leaf burn quality and marketability
  • Potatoes: Can reduce specific gravity and increase blackening
  • Fruits: Strawberries, raspberries, grapes - reduces sugar content
  • Vegetables: Tomatoes, peppers, lettuce - affects quality and taste
  • Ornamentals: Azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias
  • Tree fruits: Citrus, stone fruits - can cause leaf burn

For these crops, use potassium sulfate or sulfate of potash magnesia (K-Mag) instead. Always consider crop sensitivity and quality requirements when choosing between chloride and sulfate forms.

How does muriate of potash compare to potassium sulfate?

Key differences between muriate of potash and potassium sulfate:

  • Potassium content: Muriate (62% K₂O) vs Sulfate (53% K₂O)
  • Cost: Muriate is typically 40-50% less expensive per unit of K
  • Chloride content: Muriate (~47%) vs Sulfate (none)
  • Salt index: Muriate (116) vs Sulfate (46) - higher burn potential
  • Secondary nutrients: Muriate (none) vs Sulfate (17% sulfur)
  • Solubility: Both are highly water-soluble

Choose muriate for cost-effectiveness on tolerant crops; choose sulfate for quality-sensitive crops or when sulfur is also needed.

What are the benefits of chloride in crop production?

While often viewed negatively, chloride is actually an essential micronutrient that provides several benefits:

  • Disease suppression: Reduces severity of root rots and leaf diseases in wheat and barley
  • Improved nitrogen efficiency: Helps suppress nitrification, keeping N in ammonium form longer
  • Osmotic regulation: Assists in stomatal function and water relations
  • Photosynthesis: Required for water-splitting reaction in photosystem II
  • Yield enhancement: Can increase yields in responsive crops by 5-10%
  • Winter hardiness: Improves cold tolerance in winter wheat

Most soils are not deficient in chloride, but some sandy soils far from ocean influence may benefit from chloride application.

How should I apply potassium chloride for best results?

Follow these best practices for muriate of potash application:

  • Timing: Apply pre-plant or early in growing season to allow chloride dispersion
  • Placement: Band application reduces salt injury risk compared to broadcast
  • Split applications: For high rates, split into multiple applications
  • Avoid seed contact: High salt index can damage germinating seeds
  • Soil moisture: Apply when soil has adequate moisture to prevent burn
  • Foliar caution: Use lower concentrations (1-2%) to prevent leaf burn
  • Storage: Keep dry to prevent caking - very hygroscopic

For fertigation, ensure complete dissolution and monitor EC levels, as muriate of potash significantly increases salt concentration.

I am not not sure the bag broken caused by shipping or the original packing not good?
I ordered three 25lbsproducts this time. Two of them were broken and the powder spilled. Hope, that will not happen again.
