SULPHATE OF POTASH (SOP)

Sulphate of Potash (SOP)

At Akbari Agrichem (Pvt.) Ltd., we offer high-quality Sulfate of Potash (SOP)—a premium potassium fertilizer ideal for high-value crops. Known for its low chloride content, SOP improves crop quality, enhances resistance to stress, and supports better yield without the risk of salt build-up.
We supply SOP in two convenient forms:

  • Free-flowing powder for easy blending and rapid dissolution
  • Granular for direct field application and longer-lasting effect


Our SOP is designed to meet the needs of modern agriculture with purity, performance, and consistency you can trust.

Agriculture Benefits of Sulphate of Potash (SOP)

SOP is highly valued in agriculture due to its chloride-free nature, making it ideal for crops sensitive to chloride, such as fruits, vegetables, and tobacco.

Potassium helps plants thrive in key ways:

Enzyme Activation: Facilitates numerous biochemical reactions.
Protein Synthesis:
Essential for growth and development.
Starch and Sugar Formation:
Contributes to energy storage.
Water Regulation:
Manages water flow in cells and leaves.

Deficiency in potassium can lead to:

Leaf Scorching: Edges of leaves appear burnt.
Stunted Growth: Overall reduction in plant size.
Reduced Water Circulation: Increases susceptibility to drought and heat.
Poor Pest Resistance:
Weakened defense against diseases and pests.
Weak Root Systems: Compromises nutrient and water uptake.

Why AAC's SOP Stands Out:

Does not contain chloride: making it beneficial for all crops and plants.
Low salinity index: which helps prevent soil salinity buildup.
Ideal for use: in saline soils or areas with high-chloride irrigation water.

Sulfur is vital for:

Enzyme Activity: Supports metabolic processes.
Protein Formation: Integral to amino acids and proteins.

Available Packaging

AAC’s water-soluble Potassium Sulphate is packaged in 50 kg and 25 kg polypropylene (PP) bags, ensuring product integrity during storage and transportation.​

Storage Handling & Safety Measures

To maintain the quality and safety of Potassium Sulphate, adhere to the following guidelines:

Storage:

  • Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation.
  • Keep away from moisture to prevent caking.
  • Ensure storage area is well-ventilated to minimize airborne concentrations.

Handling:

  • Avoid generating or inhaling dust; use appropriate dust control measures.
  • Wear suitable protective clothing, including gloves and eye protection, to prevent skin and eye contact.
  • Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
  • Do not eat, drink, or smoke when using this product.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure safe handling and maintain the efficacy of Potassium Sulphate for your agricultural needs.

Vision, Mission, Strategy & Principles

Potassium sulphate should be stored in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation to minimize airborne concentrations. Exposure to eyes, skin, and clothing should be avoided. Proper handling procedures should be followed to prevent contamination and degradation of the product. It is advisable to use protective gloves, goggles, and a dust mask when handling large quantities. Spills should be cleaned up immediately to avoid slipping hazards. Additionally, the product should be kept away from incompatible substances such as strong acids and bases to prevent unwanted chemical reactions.

  • Proper Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation to minimize airborne concentrations.
  • Avoid Direct Exposure: Prevent contact with eyes, skin, and clothing to avoid irritation.
  • Use Protective Equipment: Wear gloves, goggles, and a dust mask when handling to ensure safety.
  • Immediate Spill Cleanup: Clean any spills promptly to prevent slipping hazards and contamination.
  • Safe Containment: Store in sealed containers, away from strong acids, bases, and incompatible materials.
  • Proper Labeling: Ensure storage containers are properly labeled for easy identification and safety compliance.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Follow all local regulations for safe handling, storage, and disposal of potassium sulphate.
