What is SOP Fertilizer?
SOP is potassium sulphate. It usually contains about 50% potash (K₂O) and about 18% sulphur, and almost no chloride. That is why it is preferred for crops that are sensitive to chloride, such as potato, tobacco, fruit orchards (citrus, mango, guava) and vegetables. Potash improves grain filling, fruit size, colour and keeping quality, and helps the crop resist drought, frost and disease.
SOP vs MOP: Which Potash is Better?
- SOP (Sulphate of Potash): about 50% K₂O plus sulphur, low chloride – better for potato, fruit, vegetables and saline soils, but more expensive.
- MOP (Muriate of Potash): about 60% K₂O as potassium chloride – cheaper per unit of potash, but the chloride can harm sensitive crops and saline soils.
- NPK: a mixed fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus and potash (PBS average Rs. 11,083 per 50kg bag).
How Much SOP Per Acre?
Potash need depends on the crop and soil test. In Punjab, farmers commonly apply about 1 bag (50kg) of SOP per acre for wheat on potash-deficient soils at sowing, and more for potato, sugarcane and orchards. Always follow a soil test and the advice of the Punjab Agriculture Department (helpline 0800-17000). Applying potash at sowing time, together with DAP or Nitrophos, gives the best result.
