Granulated potassium salt 60% K2 O is a pre-sowing fertiliser. It is recommended to apply the fertiliser at least 2-3 weeks before sowing the crop by mixing it into the cultivation layer at a depth of up to 20 cm. Adhering to the earlier sowing date for potassium salt will allow some of the chlorine to leach out of the soil layer where the basic parts of the crop’s root system are developing. For grassland, it is recommended to apply the fertiliser before the start of the vegetation, after the first swath and, in the case of pastures, no later than three weeks before the start of grazing (dividing the total potassium dose into at least two parts).
