Monopotassium Phosphate Fertilizer (MKP)

Mono Potassium Phosphate 0-52-34

Is a fully water-soluble phosphate fertilizer, a highly efficient source of phosphorus and potassium for plants. As a nitrogen-free fertilizer, MKP is the preferred source of phosphorus and potassium when nitrogen fertilization should be limited.

The advantages of MKP

Fully water-soluble
Consists of 100% plant nutrients
Free of chloride, sodium and other detrimental elements for plants
Safe for plants and humans: Has a moderately low pH and low salt index
Suitable for the fertigation, foliar application and production of fertilizer blends and nutrient solutions
4. Storage & Handing
L Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container tightly closed.
L Do not add water or other material to the container.
L Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
L Do not store near acids or other acidic materials.

5. Packing
L In net 25kg pp bags;
L Packing with pallets;
L 25MT/20'FCL.

6. Application Recommendations

As a nitrogen-free fertilizer, A common case is at early growing season, when phosphorus and potassium are needed at high rates for the establishment of root system. Application of MKP at the productive stages of sugar-rich fruit crops help to increase sugar content and to improve the quality of these.

MKP can be applied in combination with other fertilizers to meet crop nutritional needs throughout the growth cycle. Its high purity and water solubility make MKP an ideal fertilizer for fertigation and for foliar application. Additionally, MKP is suitable for preparation of fertilizer blends and production of liquid fertilizers. When applied as foliar spray, MKP acts as a suppressor of powdery mildew.

It is recommended to use MKP as a source of phosphorus and potassium where nitrogen levels should be kept low. Because of its unique characteristics, MKP can be applied through any irrigation system and on any growth medium. Unlike phosphoric acid, MKP is moderately acidic. Therefore, it is not corrosive to fertilizer pumps or to irrigation equipment.

(1). Compatibility
MKP is compatible with most water-soluble fertilizers, except for fertilizers containing calcium (Ca++)or magnesium (Mg++). To apply MKP in combination with calcium or magnesium fertilizers, use two fertilizer tanks. If only a single fertilizer tank is available, apply those fertilizers at different times.

(2). Quantitative Nutrigation
Each kilogram of MKP in the tank provides 520 grams of P2O5 (230g P) and 340 grams of K2O (280g K).

(3). Proportional Nutrigation
The phosphorus and potassium concentration in the irrigation water depends on the quantity of MKP in the tank mix, and on the injection ratio. Use the following table to calculate the quantity of MKP and the injection ratio needed to reach your target concentration in the irrigation water.

(4). Foliar Feeding

Foliar application of MKP is an optional supplement to soil fertilization at growth stages when high levels of phosphorus and potassium are required. At early season foliar application with MKP promotes the establishment of healthy root system. MKP is an efficient suppressor of powdery mildew in susceptible crops (deciduous, vineyards, mango, cucumbers, melons, roses and others). Application of 1% MKP mixed with systemic
Fungicides improves the efficiency and enable to reduce application rates of the latter. MKP is compatible with most commonly used pesticides and fertilizers. However, it should not be mixed with calcium or magnesium fertilizers. Also, iron, manganese, zinc and copper must be in chelate form.

Field-crops and vegetables: On young leaves, spray concentration of 1.0% MKP is recommended in most crops. On mature leaves and more tolerant crops, concentration of 2.0% may be applied.
