Mono Potassium Phosphate (MKP) 100g

Description

Mono Potassium Phosphate (MKP) is a water-soluble inorganic salt with the chemical formula KH₂PO₄, also known as monopotassium phosphate or potassium dihydrogen phosphate. It appears as a white crystalline powder, is highly soluble in water, and provides essential phosphorus (typically 52% P₂O₅) and potassium (34% K₂O) nutrients without nitrogen. Key Properties MKP is odorless, stable under normal conditions, and slightly acidic (pH around 4.6-5.8 in solution), making it hygroscopic and ideal for storage in airtight containers. Its high solubility supports quick dissolution for liquid applications, with no chloride or sodium, ensuring safety for sensitive crops. Primary Uses In agriculture, MKP serves as a fertilizer (NPK 0-52-34) for fertigation, drip irrigation, hydroponics, and foliar sprays, boosting root growth, flowering, fruit quality, and disease resistance. It's also a food additive, buffering agent, and used in pharmaceuticals for electrolyte balance and pH stabilization.
