MOP (Muriate of Potash) ایم او پی

The economical potassium source for most field crops.

N 0%P₂O₅ 0%K₂O 60%

What it is

MOP fertilizer (potassium chloride, also spelled mop fertiliser) supplies 60% potash (K₂O). Potassium regulates water use, strengthens stems, and improves grain filling and disease resistance. It is the cheapest potassium source per unit of K₂O for cereals, cotton and sugarcane.

Benefits

  • Highest K₂O concentration among potash fertilizers
  • Improves lodging resistance and grain quality
  • Single basal application usually suffices

Precautions

  • Contains chloride — avoid on chloride-sensitive crops such as tobacco and some fruits (use SOP instead)
  • Apply basally; top-dressing potassium is less effective

Application guidance

Broadcast and incorporate at land preparation or sowing as the full potassium dose. For chloride-sensitive crops, substitute SOP (50% K₂O) at an adjusted rate.
