Sulphate of Potash or SOP contains at least 50% potassium and 17% sulphur
Potassium deficiency symptoms in crops :
- The tips and edges of older leaves become scorched or burned.
- The base and stem of the plant are weak, often leaning.
- The plant loses its resistance to drought, frost, disease and insect attacks.
- Leaves, flowers and fruits fall off.
- The plant's growth slows down and its bushiness decreases.
- Seeds and fruits become small and wrinkled.
Ispahani Shakti SOP Fertilizer Requirements :
- Potassium deficiency can reduce yield by up to 40%.
- SOP fertilizer is readily available for plant uptake as soon as it is applied to the soil.
- SOP fertilizer increases crop resistance to disease.
- Since potassium and sulfur help regulate various biological processes, the use of SOP fertilizers increases the quality and storage value of crops.
- SOP fertilizer is not affected by moisture and humidity, so it does not increase soil acidity. This fertilizer is easily mixed with most pesticides and fertilizers.
- Most horticultural crops, such as vegetables and fruits, are sensitive to chlorine, as chlorine reduces crop growth, yield, and quality. SOP fertilizer is almost chloride-free, ensuring proper yield of high-quality crops (such as potatoes, tobacco, onions, garlic, ginger, bananas, etc.).
Usage and application period :
- Apply by sprinkling at the end of tillage and mix with the soil.
- If there is a deficiency of potassium and sulfur in the crop, sprinkle according to the dosage.
