	Facts on Potash
		Potash is also produced by evaporation of brines.
		It is important to distinguish the chloride in potash (KCl) from the chlorine used as a disinfectant.
		Chloride (Cl), the negatively-charged ionic form found in potash, is relatively non-reactive in the soil, and is not toxic to soil organisms or to higher plants.

		carbonate of potash, salts of tartar, or pearlash
		Potash production provided late 18th and early 19th century settlers in North America a way to obtain badly needed cash and credit while they were in the process of clearing their wooded land for crops.
		If desired, the potash could be further refined by baking in a kiln to produce a less impure form of potassium carbonate, known as pearlash for its pearly white color.

	Potash Summary
		Potash, like soda ash, was produced by running water slowly through the ashes of burned plants and then boiling down the resulting solution in large pots--hence the term, from pots and ash.

	soil potash fertility - 3.
		Natural soil potash stocks in the Atlantic region are usually too low for sustained high crop yields, however, use of livestock manure and / or fertilizer phosphorus may build up the soil phosphorus content to the point that a significant portion of the crops requirements can be met by the soil stocks.
		Muriate of potash is the highest analysis (0-0-60) and most economical potash fertilizer available.
		Potash fertilizer has high salt index, so if you include it in a banded application, the additional fertilizer increases the risk of fertilizer burn to the seed or seedling.

	Potash for Potatoes
		Potash is an essential nutrient for all plants and has a major effect upon yield and quality of potatoes as well as the general health and vigour of the crop.
		Potash may be taken in via foliar uptake but only a very small proportion of the large total requirement can be supplied by this route and foliar feeding tends to be a more expensive source of K than soil application.
		Muriate appears to be marginally superior to sulphate for this characteristic, however sulphate does appear to reduce the quantity of fat absorbed on frying and this has important process cost implications.

		MOP is recommended as ideal potassium fertiliser to crops with high K requirement, such as most cereals, oil, sugar and fibre crops, which are tolerant to chloride or where, because of adequate rainfall, accumulation of chloride in the rooting zone does not occur.
		MOP is ideally suited to replenish depleted soils where long-term K omission has led to a decline in soil K availability.
		MOP is also suited for annual maintenance dressings to keep the soil K status in the adequate supply range.

	EFFECTS OF POTASH FORM AND APPLICATION TIME ON COTTON SEEDLING DISEASES, GROWTH, AND YIELD.
		Four fertilizer treatments were studied: (1) fall application of muriate of potash (0-0-60), (2) fall application of sulfate of potash (0-0-50), (3) spring application of muriate of potash applied immediately before planting, and (4) sulfate of potash applied immediately before planting.
		The effects of potash and fungicide seed treatments on seedling disease incidence, cotton growth, and yields were determined.
		Potash treatments had no significant effect on seedling emergence, seedling vigor, seedling disease incidence, plant stands, plant growth, field cotton yields, gin turn out, or lint characteristics.

	A O U - Ponds and Managing Nutrients to Control Algae by Larry Laitner
		Potash, which we also know as potassium, can come from the mineral content of water that flows onto natural bodies of water.
		When this occurs any added potash will be quickly used by the plants that have been starving for it for some time, so several additions of potash will have to be made over a period of time.
		Add 50 grams of muriate of potash to 500 ml of water to create a 6% potash solution at a cost of about ten cents, or you can just buy Flora Fin for about ten dollars a bottle.

		Some growers hesitate to use muriate of potash because of its chloride content, but at the relatively low rates used for K maintenance this should not be a concern unless irrigation water is high in chloride - over 180 ppm.
		PC is amazingly soluble - three times as soluble as muriate of potash and nine times as soluble as sulfate of potash.

	Omitting potash fertiliser can be penny wise but pound foolish claims PDA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Penny wise, pound foolish - that's how the Potash Development Association (PDA) describes growers who are risking depleting soil K reserves, and potentially jeopardising crop yields, by omitting potash fertiliser from their nutrient management plans in order to save money.
		This is the fertility level at which potash fertiliser inputs need only match crop offtakes to maintain soil K status and still achieve maximum yields of arable, forage crops and grass.
		There are some simple rules to follow in order to make informed decisions on whether or not to apply potash, the most important being to soil sample fields every three to four years to measure available soil K levels and soil K index.

	AGR-49 LIMING AND FERTILIZING BURLEY TOBACCO
		The amount of lime, phosphate and potash needed is dependent on the soil's residual status as determined by a good soil test.
		Potash Sources -- Because a large price difference has recently developed between the preferred source of potash for tobacco (sulfate of potash) and the other widely available source (muriate of potash), there has been great interest in the cheaper source (muriate of potash).
		Although several field experiments have shown a yield increase to spring applications of muriate of potash, chloride content of the leaf lamina, particularly at the higher rates of application, is increased.

	Effects of Different Fertilizers and Continuous No
		Use of sulfate of potash instead of muriate of potash increased plant growth early in the season, but led to an increase in the incidence of Sclerotinia stem rot.
		Use of sulfate of potash instead of muriate of potash also increased mean plant height (Table 1).
		The highest yield during this period was with conventional tillage combined with use of muriate of potash and BioYield (Table 5).

		Sulfate of Potash is an enriched source of potassium, which aids in developing plant vigor and disease resistance.
		Golf course superintendents often use sulfate of potash because its high rate of potassium leads to better health and vigor, which in makes it more resilient to constant wear.
		However, sulfate of potash is virtually chloride free and thus has a lower burn potential than either muriate of potash or sulfate of potash magnesia.

		The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), assisted, through the Potash and Phosphate Institute of Canada (PPIC), the government of Pakistan to test the use of muriate of potash (MOP), a cheaper source of potash, under Pakistan soil and crop conditions.
		Accordingly, the project on the research and development of MOP, initiated in 1993 for a period of five and half years, was coordinated by Pakistan Agriculture Research Council (PARC) with the collaboration of public and private sectors institutions dealing with soil fertility and fertilizer use.
		Ehsan Akhtar, National Coordinator of MOP project, presented the highlights of the project accomplishments; need for K fertilization in Pakistan agriculture, introduction of MOP and fertilizer bulk blending in Pakistan fertilizer sector.
