MKP

MKP, or Monopotassium Phosphate, is a fully water-soluble ionic compound with the highest amount of nutrients, used for electrolyte replenishment and total parenteral nutrition. It is the preferred source of phosphorus and potassium when nitrogen fertilization should be limited. It is mainly used at the early stages of the growth season when phosphorus and potassium are needed at high rates for the establishment of root system, and during the productive stages of sugar-rich fruit crops, to increase sugar content and to improve fruit quality. It can be applied in combination with other fertilizers to meet crop nutritional needs throughout the growth cycle. The benefits of MKP include: fully water-soluble; consists of 100% plant nutrients; free of chloride, sodium and other detrimental elements for plants; safe for plants and humans, due to moderately low pH and low salt load. The solubility of MKP is enhanced by increase in water temperature as shown below: Water temperature (°C): 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 Solubility (g/100g water): 14.8, 18.3, 22.6, 28.0, 33.5 MKP has a moderately low pH that remains almost constant at different concentrations: Concentration (%): 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 1.0 PH: 4.7, 4.6, 4.6, 4.4
