- It contains highest 60% K20 among all potassic fertilizers.
- This fertilizer is suitable for acidic and heavy soils but not for alkaline soil.
- It should not be used in sugarcane, sugar beet, tobacco, tomato and potato because accumulation of sugar is affected due to chloride ion present in the fertilizer.
- In these crops K2SO4 and KNO3 should be used instead of KCL.
