Storage Notes:
Keep in dry place and avoid exposure to moisture. To protect against high atmospheric humidity, it is
advisable to cover Patent Kali Granular with a plastic sheet. When stored in bulk, walls and floor
should ideally be sealed with a bituminous coating. Paint iron beams and supports with anticorrosive
coating. Wooden walls and roof trusses have proved to be particularly resistant.
Recommendations for application
Patent Kali Granular is particularly suitable for:
• use in organic farming systems (BFA certified)
• base dressings and/or as side dressing
• improving potassium, magnesium and sulphur levels on all soil types irrespective of soil pH
Patent Kali Granular is a highly concentrated fertiliser containing the three nutrients potassium,
magnesium and sulphur, all in the sulphate form, in an ideal ratio. All three nutrients are readily watersoluble
and immediately available to the plants. Patent Kali Granular has a low salt index and is
virtually chloride-free (max.3%). It is thus an ideal potassium, magnesium and sulphur source for
chloride and salt-sensitive crops such as fruits, vegetables, grape-vines, hops, potatoes, sunflowers
and forest trees. Patent Kali Granular is effective on all soil types, irrespective of pH.
Patent Kali Granular is approved by the Biological Farmers of Australia Co-op Ltd for use in organic
farming systems as it is derived from naturally occurring salt deposits.
Application rates Patent Kali Granular depend on;
• the specific potassium, magnesium and sulphur demand of the crop
• the crop rotation
• the content of plant available potassium and magnesium in the soil
• the yield expectations
• the use of organic fertilisers
• climatic conditions
For the most important crops the following rates give a general indication assuming an average
content of potassium and magnesium in the soil.
