Granular potassium chloride (KCl) is a single-nutrient, concentrated potassium fertilizer containing up to 60% potassium (K₂O). Potassium in chloride form is a key macronutrient that strengthens plant water regulation, increases resistance to drought, frost, and disease, and improves crop quality.
The granulated form ensures convenient and even application with mechanized equipment and minimal losses during transportation.
Recommended use
- Base application in autumn or spring;
- Suitable for medium to heavy soils for: cereals, corn, sugar beets, sunflower, perennial grasses, and vegetables;
- Especially recommended on potassium-deficient soils.
Advantages:
- Most cost-effective source of potassium on the market;
- Enhances resistance to stress factors (frost, drought, diseases); improves product quality (sugar, starch, oil content);
- Convenient granular form for even application and accurate dosing;
- Can be blended with other mineral fertilizers (after compatibility testing).
Appearance: irregular-shaped granules ranging in color from gray-pink to deep burgundy
| Mass fraction of total potassium in terms of K₂O, not less % | 58 |
| Granulometric composition, % | |
| Less than 1 mm, no more | 5 |
| from 1 to 6 mm | 95 |
- Store in dry, well-ventilated areas, protected from direct sunlight; maintain relative humidity below 70%; keep on pallets at least 15 cm above the ground, in a single layer.
- Packaging (bags, big bags) must be sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
- Acceptable storage temperature: –20°C to +35°C (avoid high humidity; if caking or condensation occurs, loosen before use).
- Avoid contact with acids, alkalis, organic compounds, or other fertilizers that may trigger chemical reactions.
- For long-term storage, periodically loosen the product.
