What is the difference between red potassium and red potassium? Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Yan. When choosing corn potash fertilizer, there are often two potash fertilizers in the market, crystal potassium and red potassium, what is the difference between them? Which potassium works better on corn? Today, let's find out.
In terms of potassium content, crystalline potassium and red potassium are different: both crystal potassium and red potassium are potassium chloride, but they differ in morphology, so the potassium content of both is basically the same, but crystalline potassium is purer and has fewer impurities.
Red potassium includes raw mineral potassium and extruded potassium.
Raw potassium is mined from potash ore and processed directly, and the quality is better than extruded potassium.
Extruded potassium is made by crushing the raw ore potassium and then extruding it twice.
When purchasing, it is necessary to know whether the country of origin is marked on the outer packaging bag, such as Russian red potash, etc., and it is also necessary to know the import contract number.
In appearance, crystal potassium and red potassium are different: visible to the naked eye, crystal potassium is colorless and transparent, slightly reddish and looks very beautiful. The appearance of raw potassium is red or light red, and the characteristics are angular and irregular. The color of extruded potassium is also red, but it is slightly lighter compared to raw potassium. However, extruded potassium is secondary processing, and one side looks relatively flat.
In terms of water solubility, crystal potassium and red potassium are different: crystal potassium is better water soluble than red potassium, so the plant can absorb potassium more efficiently.
In terms of economic benefits, red potassium is much cheaper to purchase than crystalline potassium.
All things considered, which potash fertilizer do you prefer when choosing? You can leave a message together.
