Potassium Sulphate ( 0.0.50+45 SO3) is a fertilizer that has got sulphate form and totally dissolves in the water. Formula of the Potassium sulphate is K2SO4. It contains Potassium equal to 50% K2O and 45% Sulphur in SO3 form.
Uses
- It is a fruit formation, growth and harvest fertilizer.
- It is used after fruit set in fruit gardens.
- It is used on tuber plants and field plants on the phase that plants' potassium necessity is high.

Benefits
- It sustains protein production( faster protein cycle)
- It sustains photo-synthesis (More CO2 digestion, more sugar)
- It increases the transition and storage of the digested materials (between leaf and fruit)
- It increases the digestion phase period and density (higher qualifed and durable fruit)
- It increases the effectiveness of the Nitrogen fertilizers
- It provides effective water usage (crop uses less water kg per plant)
