Mono Potassium Phosphate (MKP) 25KGS

MKP fertilizer is Mono Potassium Phosphate, a highly water-soluble fertilizer with a 0-52-34 NPK ratio, meaning it contains 0% nitrogen, 52% phosphorus, and 34% potassium. It is a valuable source of phosphorus and potassium for plants, especially when nitrogen needs to be limited. MKP is used to boost root development, promote flowering and fruiting, increase fruit quality, and improve drought resistance. 

Composition and Properties 

• Chemical formula:

  KH2PO4cap K cap H sub 2 cap P cap O sub 4

  𝐾𝐻2𝑃𝑂4

• NPK ratio: 0-52-34

• Solubility: Highly water-soluble, with solubility increasing as water temperature increases

• pH: A 1% solution has a pH of 4.5, which can help facilitate the absorption of other nutrients

• Safety: Free from harmful elements like chlorine, sodium, and heavy metals 

Benefits and Uses 

• Boosts root development: Ideal for the early stages of a plant's growth to help establish a strong root system.

• Promotes flowering and fruiting: Supports the formation of flowers and the development of fruits.

• Improves fruit quality: Can increase sugar and starch content in sugar-rich crops.

• Increases drought resistance: Helps plants transport water and nutrients more efficiently.

• Foliar spray: Can be applied as a foliar spray to prevent fungal growth and increase the effectiveness of pesticides when mixed with them. 

Application Methods 

• Fertigation: Used in hydroponics and other irrigation systems because of its high solubility.

• Foliar application: Dissolve in water and spray directly onto the leaves.

• Soil application: Apply directly to the soil, either dry or dissolved in water.

• Dormant application: Can be applied to trees and shrubs during their dormant period. 

Important considerations 

• Avoid high temperatures: Do not apply foliar spray during periods of high temperature and low humidity or when plants are under water stress.

• Application rates: The exact amount to use can vary, so follow product instructions. A common recommendation is to start with small amounts and increase as needed.
