Valudor Products, LLC Monopotassium Phosphate

Valudor Products, LLC Monopotassium Phosphate is the inorganic, free flowing, crystalline powder. It is often used as a fertilizer, food additive, and buffering agent. The salt often co-crystallizes with the dipotassium salt as well as with phosphoric acid. Single crystals are paraelectric at room temperature. At temperatures below −238 °F, they become ferroelectric. MKP is one of the most widely used straight fertilizers in tailor-made crop recommendations. Its high phosphorus and potassium content makes it very flexible to be used in hydroponics, easily meeting the plant’s needs for these nutrients.

Features & Benefits

Applications & Uses

Main Uses
  • Monopotassium phosphate is a high-purity PK fertilizer (0-52-34). IDue to its very low sodium content, MKP is recommended for use in any type of crop and in any fertigation system (drip irrigation, hydroponics, sprinkles, pivots) or as a foliar spray.
  • MKP is 100% soluble in water and is quickly absorbed by plants, which allows to use it for root application through irrigation systems. It is especially recommended to use in hydroponics, as it virtually does not contain chlorine or insolubles.
  • MKP can be mixed with all water-soluble fertilizers, except for calcium fertilizers and concentrated magnesium solutions. In hydroponic systems, it should normally be added to the B tank along with the sulfates and trace elements. MKP has a buffering effect, which will help stabilize the pH of the solution at around 4.5.
