Greenway Biotech Potassium Sulfate 0-0-53 is a solution-grade fertilizer made of potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄). It guarantees 53% soluble potash (K₂O) and 17% sulfur. It contains no nitrogen or phosphate.
It is used where a soil test shows low potassium. Gardeners weigh it and work it into vegetable beds, place it around fruit trees, or spread it on established lawns at no more than 1.89 lb (856 g) per 1,000 sq ft at a time. It supplies potassium as a sulfate rather than a chloride. California's processing tomato guideline prefers potassium sulfate over potassium chloride. Its strawberry guideline avoids potassium chloride where sodium and chloride are high.
Hydroponic and fertigation growers use it as one of the potassium sources in published university recipes. Dissolve it completely. Keep its concentrate apart from calcium concentrates such as calcium nitrate, because calcium and sulfate form gypsum. The product page gives amounts per plant, per tree, per 1,000 sq ft of lawn and per gallon, with a calculator.
