Muriate of Potash (MoP)
Muriate of Potash (MOP), a potassium-rich fertiliser, plays a pivotal role in modern agriculture, contributing significantly to global food production. Comprising potassium chloride, MOP is a vital nutrient for plants, primarily used to enhance crop yield and quality.
Potassium is an essential macronutrient for plant growth, aiding in numerous critical processes, including photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and water regulation. MOP, with its high potassium content, addresses this nutritional need, promoting robust root development, disease resistance, and overall plant health.
One of MOP's distinguishing features is its chloride content, which can be advantageous for crops that tolerate chloride ions, such as tobacco, some fruits, and certain vegetables. However, for chloride-sensitive crops like potatoes, alternative potassium sources are preferred.
Muriate of Potash is a versatile fertiliser suitable for various cultivation methods, including broadcasting, side-dressing, or incorporation into the soil. Its role in ensuring balanced plant nutrition and bolstering agricultural productivity underscores its significance in global food security. As agriculture continues to evolve, MOP remains a cornerstone in nourishing our growing world population.

Characteristics
Pink MOP can be standard and granular:
​
Pink Standard MOP is used for producing compound NPK fertilisers and as a direct-application fertiliser.
Pink Granular MOP is used as a direct-application fertiliser and as a component of blended fertilisers.
White MOP can be in powder or pelletised:
​
White MOP is a high-purity product and is used as a component of compound NPK fertilisers, including water-soluble fertiliser, for producing potassium sulphate (SOP), potassium nitrate (NOP), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and for other industrial purposes.
Pelletised potash is specifically developed for foreign manufacturers of potassium hydroxide. Due to the large transit distances, this cannot be offered as standard white MOP without anticaking treatment.
