Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is potash?
Potash is a general term for potassium-rich minerals and fertilizer products, most commonly muriate of potash (potassium chloride) and sulfate of potash (potassium sulfate), used to supply the potassium crops need to grow.
What's the difference between muriate of potash (MOP) and sulfate of potash (SOP)?
MOP is the more common, generally lower-cost potassium source and is widely used on row crops. SOP contains sulfate instead of chloride, making it preferred for chloride-sensitive or high-value specialty crops. Which fits your situation depends on the crop and soil — ask us when you request a rate sheet.
What is potash used for besides farming?
Beyond agriculture, potassium compounds derived from potash are used in glass manufacturing, soaps and detergents, and various chemical manufacturing processes.
