Compass Minerals releases Protassium+ Organic

Organic crop growers now have a pure, consistent and reliable potassium fertilizer option with the release of Protassium+ Organic sulfate of potash from Compass Minerals. Protassium+ Organic is a dual-nutrient, concentrated sulfate of potash offering a high potassium (50 percent potassium) and plant-available sulfate sulfur. It is the only domestically produced and packaged SOP certified and approved for organic food production by the Organic Materials Review Institute, California Department of Food and Agriculture and USDA National Organic Standards Board.

Protassium+ Organic allows growers to reduce the amount of applied fertilizer. It requires three tons of manure to apply the same amount of potassium in only 0.18 ton of Protassium+ Organic, minimizing time, labor and fuel expenses. Additionally, compared with manure or compost, Protassium+ Organic offers a safe, reliable and consistent potassium nutrient source that is easy to handle, blend and apply.

“Organic food production is increasing each year. To help meet this demand, our customers are asking for a safe, reliable and high-quality organic potassium nutrient product for their crops,” said Todd Denzin, vice president of sales and marketing for Protassium+. “From the moment Protassium+ is drawn from the Great Salt Lake, it is in its purest organic form. We do our best to preserve that integrity until it arrives to our growers’ fields.”
