AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer Kelp and Sulfate of Potash also contains minimally processed sulfate of Potash from the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Unlike other sources of potassium this does not contain chloride (CI-), which can damage soil life and plant roots. Sulfate of potash (K2SO4) is an ionically balanced source of K and S. Plant use efficiency of ionically balanced fertilizer is much higher for root and foliar applications.

Potassium must be present in large quantities in plants because it is a component of the fluids that flood plant tissue. Potassium-deficient plants are susceptible to insect attack and have weak stalks and underdeveloped root systems. Sufficient potassium produces high quality vegetables and tree fruits with firmer stalks and higher nutritional content.
