di-Potassium Phosphate /Potassium Phospahate Dibasic / NPK 00-52-34

Di potassium phosphate is a compound that combines two essential ingredients for plant growth: potassium and phosphate. Dipotassium phosphate is one of several water-soluble potassium phosphate ions formed when potassium interacts with phosphoric acid. In agriculture, it is used as a fertilizer.

Molecular Formulae- K2HPO4

Alternative Names- Potassium hydrogen phosphate

ADVANTAGES AND USES-

• Dipotassium Phosphate is used to maintain the pH of the soil.
• DKP fertiliser is a great source of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) for plant nutrition. 
• Because it is extremely soluble, it dissolves fast in soil, releasing plant-available phosphate and potassium.
• It increases the number of flowers and fruit sets, which enhances crop quality and production.
• It is free-flowing, dust-free, and does not generally cause storage issues.
• Recommended for crops like sugarcane, cotton, oilseeds, pulses, and other cash crops.

HOW IT WORKS-

• It works as an important potassium source in fertilizers.
• Potassium is important for crops as it is a major component that makes up chlorophyll and facilitates enzymes production and proper flowering of plants.  

TIME OF APPLICATION-

• Use it at the beginning of the growing season for the best results.

RECOMMENDED USAGE- 

• It is recommended that 2 to 4 kg of dipotassium phosphate be used per cubic yard. 

HOW TO USE-

• Dig a trench around 2-3 inches deep all around the plant, leaving three inches from the plant trunk. 
• Spread our dipotassium phosphate uniformly in the trench and then cover the trench with soil.
• Water the plant till some water comes out of the bottom of the pot.
