Green Potash is a Fertrell product containing zeolite and algae potash with an analysis of 0-0-15. The zeolite component has potential to loosen heavy soils and increase water holding capacity. This unique structure of zeolite also enables it to effectively exchange minerals and nutrients. Essentially zeolite has the ability to loosely hold potassium and other nutrients in suspension, which keeps them readily available for plant uptake.
The second component of Fertrell’s Green Potash is algae potash which provides trace minerals and micronutrients, as well as a source of potassium. Potassium is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth. It is part of the base saturation and when amending the soil, the percentage of potassium is balanced based on the type of crop being grown. In addition to providing for overall plant health, potassium plays a major role in the regulation of water uptake and usage in plants, and is known to improve drought resistance. Plant shape, size, color, and taste are improved when adequate potassium is available.
Green Potash, which is an organic component with large amounts of readily available potassium, has several benefits:
