Sulphate Of Potash

Categories: COMMERCIAL SOURCES OF PLANT-FOOD

Some sulphate of potash is imported into this

country. Its content of potash may vary 1 or 2 per cent below or above

50. Its physical condition favors mixing more than does the muriate. It

usually costs several dollars a ton more than the muriate, and the fact

that it is known to favor quality in tobacco, and is popularly supposed

to do so in the potato, creates demand at the higher price. It is

soluble in water, and quickly available. As a rule, it has no higher

agricultural value than the muriate.
