Potassium Schoenite
Description
Potassium schoenite can be used as a straight fertilizer, or for fertilization and foliar application. It's ideal for crops that don't tolerate chlorine, like tobacco, potatoes, and sugarcane.
Mode of Action
Potassium schoenite is primarily valued for its potassium content, which is essential for plant growth and development. It typically contains around 22-23% potassium oxide (K2O). In addition to potassium, it also provides magnesium, an essential nutrient involved in chlorophyll formation, enzyme activation, and photosynthesis. Potassium schoenite typically contains around 11-12% magnesium oxide (MgO). It also contains sulfur in the form of sulfate (SO4), which is important for protein synthesis and overall plant nutrition.
Applications
Potassium schoenite can be used as a potassium fertilizer in agriculture, horticulture, and turf management. It can be applied directly to the soil or incorporated into fertilizers and nutrient blends to provide balanced nutrition to crops. The slow-release nature of potassium schoenite makes it suitable for use in long-term fertilization programs and for crops with extended growing seasons.
