  • It is recommended to wear protective gloves and a mask during use to avoid direct skin contact and inhalation of dust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both are important phosphate fertilizer products, with the main differences being:

  • Different Chemical FormulasMKP is KH₂PO₄ (Monopotassium Phosphate), MAP is NH₄H₂PO₄ (Monoammonium Phosphate)
  • Varies in Nutrient CompositionMKP provides phosphorus and potassium, while MAP provides phosphorus and nitrogen.
  • Nutrient ContentMKP total nutrient 86% (P₂O₅≥52%+K₂O≥34%), MAP approx. 73-75%
  • Different pH ValuesMKP aqueous solution is acidic (pH approx. 4.2-4.7), MAP aqueous solution is also acidic

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is a typical chlorine-free phosphorus-potassium fertilizer:

  • Chloride-freeThe chemical formula of MKP contains only potassium, phosphorus, hydrogen, and oxygen, with no chloride ions.
  • Chlorine-Sensitive Crop FriendlyCrops such as tobacco, tea, grapes, potatoes, and sugarcane are chlorine-sensitive; excessive chlorine can affect quality
  • Chlorine-Free Potassium SourceAn ideal substitute for potassium chloride, especially suitable for high-economic-value crops
  • Improve QualityUsing MKP can improve tobacco combustibility, tea quality, and grape sugar content, etc.

The acidic nature of potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution is its chemical characteristic.

  • Cause of AcidityKH₂PO₄ dissociates into K⁺ and H₂PO₄⁻ in water, and H₂PO₄⁻ further hydrolyzes to produce H⁺
  • pH Range1% aqueous solution pH value 4.2-4.7
  • Usage InstructionsAvoid direct mixing with cationic fertilizers containing calcium, magnesium, etc., to prevent precipitation

The main differences lie in impurity content standards and application fields.

  • Impurity LimitsFood-grade products have stricter requirements for impurities such as arsenic, lead, and heavy metals.
  • Moisture RequirementsFood grade moisture ≤0.2%, which is stricter than industrial grade (≤0.5%).
  • Implementation StandardsFood grade complies with GB 25560-2010, industrial grade complies with HG/T4511-2013
  • Application FieldsFood grade for food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, etc.; Industrial grade for agriculture, industry, etc.
