Premium agricultural Potassium Sulfate SOP 0-0-52: low-chloride potassium and sulfur nutrition for chloride-sensitive crops and premium fruit quality
Ihumate Potassium Sulfate (SOP, K2SO4, CAS 7778-80-5) is a high-purity, low-chloride, fully water-soluble potassium fertilizer raw material with water-soluble K2O > 52% and sulfur (S) > 18%. The white powder or fine crystal grade adds no intentional nitrogen, phosphorus or chloride, making it suitable for fertigation, hydroponics, sprinklers, foliar programs, and manufacture of water-soluble, liquid and high-potassium fertilizer formulas.
1. Clear 0-0-52 positioning: a stable potassium source for fruit sizing, color development, sugar-acid balance, dry-matter accumulation and post-harvest quality, with additional sulfur nutrition.
2. For chloride-sensitive crops: low chloride supports grapes, citrus, strawberry, potato, tobacco, tea and protected vegetables where chloride input must be limited.
3. Flexible formulation: nitrogen- and phosphorus-free analysis lets agronomists adjust N:P:K independently and blend with potassium nitrate, MKP, EDTA micronutrients, humic acid, amino acids and seaweed systems.
4. The Ihumate advantage: batch management covers K2O, sulfur, chloride, moisture, insolubles, pH, appearance and dissolution performance, backed by COA, SDS, export documents, dependable supply, formulation support and OEM/ODM packaging.
Compatibility note: sulfate can precipitate with calcium in concentrated stock solutions. Use A/B tanks for calcium-containing fertigation formulas or run a jar test before field use.

For fertigation, hydroponics, sprinklers, validated foliar feeding, and production of high-potassium, low-chloride water-soluble and liquid fertilizers. Count both K2O and S in formulation calculations and adjust from crop demand, soil, irrigation-water and tissue analysis.
| Crop Name | Growth Stage | Application Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Fertigation/Sprinklers | Fruit sizing, color and quality formation | 10-30 kg/ha per application; adjust to analysis and local program |
| Hydroponics/Soilless | Nutrient-solution preparation | Calculate from target K2O, S and EC; no fixed field rate |
| Foliar Spray | Potassium/sulfur supplement or quality improvement | 0.5%-1.5%; conduct a crop-safety test first |
| Fertilizer Production | WSF, liquid fertilizer and high-K NPK | Calculate from target K2O and S analysis |
