Dry potassium fertilizer does not provide a steady available stream of potassium
Yield Innovations • June 16, 2025

The availability of potassium from soil applied potash is HIGHLY dependent on soil moisture. As soils dry out during the growing season (when yield is being determined), potash availability greatly diminishes.  We have been spending a tremendous amount of money on a product that is not available when we often need it! Potassium Chloride (0-0-60) requires 85% soil wetness to solubilize or be plant available. How often during the growing season is the soil drier than 85% wet? With a high yield mindset, we simply cannot leave potassium availability completely up to mother nature providing a timely rainfall event… and at the right yield-influencing time!

Potash (0-0-60) loses its availability as the soil dries out. However, potassium acetate is still available when soil dries out another 264.8%! So, potassium acetate is more available in soil applied applications when the soil is dry and will stay available as the soil begins to dry out.

The majority of Yield Innovations’ products are in the Potassium Acetate form, the most soluble form of potassium!
