Potassium Chloride (KCl): Key Facts for Agriculture 🌱
Potassium chloride, also known as muriate of potash (MOP), is the most widely used potassium fertilizer due to its high potassium content (50-52% K or 60-63% K₂O) and low cost. It is essential for plant growth, playing a crucial role in enzyme activation, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, and improving crop quality.

Over 90% of global potash production is used for plant nutrition. Farmers apply KCl by spreading it on the soil before planting or in bands near the seed to avoid damaging young plants. Potassium improves yield, enhances fruit flavor, color, and shelf life, while chloride can benefit plant growth in small amounts.

However, excess chloride can harm crops in saline soils, especially in coastal or arid areas. Managing its use with potassium and nitrate fertilizers helps mitigate risks.

KCl is vital for sustainable farming and ensuring food security. 🌾 #Agriculture #PlantNutrition #Sustainability #Potassium #PotassiumChloride #Nutrient #plantNutrients
