Potassium chloride (MOP) is a concentrated mineral fertilizer produced from natural potassium salts, it is an indispensable source of K for crops. Potassium along with other key nutrients contributes to balanced crop nutrition and ensures a complete normal life cycle of plants.

Potash can be used in farming in direct application and be a component in production of complex fertilizers - compounds and fertilizer blends. The use of potash among other essential nutrient sources is an integral part of intensive farming as it improves soil fertility what results in higher crop yield, better crop quality and eventually bigger farmers` revenues.

Role of K for crops:

• strengthens plant resistance to cold, drought, diseases and pests, increases yields,
• improves quality and provides for long storage of cash crops,
• reduces nitrate concentration in plants.

Role of K in food and animal feed:

• the main, safe, healthy and natural supply source of potassium both for human beings and animals,
• vital to provide a required average rate of K consumption by replenishing regular potassium losses - min. 2-3.5 g/day for human beings and 5-10 g/day for animals,
• available in various foodstuffs: plants (e.g. vegetables, fruits, cereals, soybeans), meat and dairy products.

Role of K for human health:

• provides a normal functioning of soft tissues (e.g. brain cells, kidneys, liver, muscles),
• maintains the functioning of the cardiovascular and nervous systems,
• improves resistance to illnesses.
