Specialty AgricultureSulfate of potash is the most effective product to build vital potassium and sulfur nutrition for high yields and consistent quality in specialized agriculture and turf markets because, unlike other potassium sources, it contains virtually no chloride. THE NEED FOR POTASSIUMPotassium is vital to agriculture because it enhances quality and yields of food crops by improving water retention, nutrient value, taste, color, texture, and disease resistance. It also promotes the efficient use of nitrogen and other nutrients. Symptoms of potassium deficiency in plants include:
THE NEED FOR SULFURSulfur is a component of three amino acids (cystine, methionine, and cysteine) and is necessary for protein synthesis, chlorophyll transport and nitrogen utilization. Sulfur improves root strength and growth of plants as well as the aroma and taste of fruits and vegetables. Sulfur is frequently referred to as the fourth major nutrient. Symptoms of sulfur deficiency in plants include:
Sulfate is the water-soluble and readily available form of sulfur. Soils used to have higher sulfur content than today, but sulfur deficiencies have become more common in recent years due to a number of factors. These include higher air quality standards that lowered sulfur emissions, increased crop yields that draw a greater amount of sulfur nutrients out of the soil, and more use of relatively sulfur-free nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.
