Q1: Is Monopotassium Phosphate suitable for organic farming?
A1: Monopotassium Phosphate is not typically approved for use in certified organic farming due to its synthetic production. However, it's highly effective in conventional farming practices.
Q2: Can Monopotassium Phosphate be mixed with other fertilizers?
A2: Yes, MKP is compatible with most water-soluble fertilizers, except for those containing calcium or magnesium, which may cause precipitation.
Q3: What is the recommended application rate for Monopotassium Phosphate?
A3: Application rates vary based on crop type, growth stage, and soil conditions. It is advisable to conduct a soil test and consult with an agronomist for tailored recommendations.
