Monopotassium Phosphate (MKP)

Description

Monopotassium Phosphate is a fertiliser used to aid plants during the flowering phase of their life cycle. With increased levels of potassium and phosphorous aid in fruit setting, flower density and overall mass. Highly water soluble and extensively used in hydroponics.

Used in conjunction with Calcium Nitrate and Hydroflow for a complete hydroponic fertiliser solution.

Potassium contributes and aids in the fruiting and flowering process, improving the overall quality of produce. It’s also responsible for moving sugars within the plant, making flowers sweeter as they ripen. Plants use potassium to thicken cell walls, increasing mass and overall yield.

Higher levels of phosphorus will aid in adding mass to the flower, creating a dense final product. It is also a vital part of ATP production which is the energy of the plant. Phosphorus is a part of gas exchange, cell division and complex energy conversions like turning nutrients into usable forms. Larger amounts are used during rooting and in the flowering stage of growth.

Monopotassium Phosphate Registered Analysis:

• Potassium (K) – 280g/kg
• Phosphorous (P) – 220g/kg

Preparing Stock Solution – 1kg MKP = 4L Stock Solution

• Fill a 5L container with 3L water.
• Add 1kg MKP to the container of water stirring until all is dissolved.
• Once dissolved, top container up with water to reach 4L of solution.
• Store container closed tightly and out of direct sunlight.
• 4ml Solution = 1g Dry Monopotassium Phosphate
