Potassium Hydroxide Flakes

Potassium Hydroxide Flakes

Potassium hydroxide (KOH), though, is a versatile white hygroscopic (water-absorbing) flake that is also known as caustic potash. Its a mixture of potassium ions (K⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻). It readily dissolved in water, with heat generated and a strongly alkaline solution formed. Potassium hydroxide, with its strong basic and chemical nature, also finds its application in various industrial, chemical and agriculture related activities. Potassium Hydroxide Flakes In agriculture, potassium hydroxide flakes are often

used to provide potassium, an essential macronutrient for plants, as well as perform many other functions.

Benefits

  • Source of Potassium
  • Potassium is essential for growing plants, it helps with water retention, disease resistance, and overall plant quality.
  • As the plant-available form of potassium, KOH is a fast, readily soluble potassium source particularly for potassium-deficient soils.
  • Adjusts Soil pH
  • The alkalinity of lime helps to alkalinize the pH, thus helping crop growth in regions where soils are too acidic
  • Improves Nutrient Uptake
  • Plays a major role in improving soil conditions increasing availability and absorption of other nutrients.
  • Versatile Applications
  • That can be applied as a foliar spray, in the irrigation system or as part of fertilizers.
  • Eco-Friendly
  • Environmentally friendly as it does not leave any harmful residues in agricultural soil.

Uses

  • Fertilizer Production
  • It is used to produce potassium based fertilizers such as liquid fertilizers and foliar sprays.
  • Accumulates potassium, essential for flowers, fruits, and seeds.
  • Soil Amendment
  • Included for raising soil pH in acidic soils, which improves overall soil structure and fertility.
  • Neutralizes detrimental acids and promotes the microbial activity required for plant growth.
  • Foliar Application
  • Solutions of potassium hydroxide are sprayed directly onto the leaves of plants in order to: Replete potassium deficits rapidly.
  • Control of pH in Irrigation Water
  • Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is introduced in irrigation systems to maintain pH in the water to allow nutrients soluble, be available to plants.
  • Formulation of Pesticides and Herbicides
  • Acting as a pH stabilizer or as a base in pesticide and herbicide formulations to increase their effectiveness
  • Growth Enhancement
  • Promotes strong root systems, increases drought tolerance and improves yield and quality.
