MOP 0-0-60 Fertilizer

MOP 0-0-60 (Muriate of Potash, also known as Potassium Chloride) is a potassium fertilizer containing 60% potassium oxide (K2O) and approximately 47% chloride. It is the most commonly used potassium source in agriculture worldwide, supporting fruit development, disease resistance, and overall plant vigor.

Our MOP guarantees: Water-Soluble Potassium (K2O) 60.0% minimum, Moisture 1.0% maximum, Granule size 2-4mm (90% minimum). Every batch includes a Certificate of Analysis from our ISO-certified laboratory confirming actual potassium content.

MOP (0-0-60) contains potassium as potassium chloride with ~47% chloride. SOP (0-0-50) contains potassium as potassium sulphate with no chloride. MOP is cheaper and suitable for chloride-tolerant crops. SOP is required for chloride-sensitive crops like tobacco, grapes, potatoes, and citrus.

Yes. MOP contains chloride, which is beneficial for chloride-tolerant crops such as maize, rice, sugarcane, oil palm, cotton, and wheat. For chloride-sensitive crops like tobacco, grapes, potatoes, citrus, and coffee, SOP 0-0-50 is recommended instead.

MOP is ideal for maize, rice, wheat, sugarcane, oil palm, cotton, soybean, groundnut, pasture grasses, and most field crops. These chloride-tolerant crops benefit from MOP's high potassium concentration and cost-effective pricing.

Standard MOP contains 60% K2O (potassium oxide), which is the highest concentration available among common potassium fertilizers. This high analysis reduces transport and application costs for bulk buyers compared to lower-grade potassium sources.

Yes. Thai Fertilizer supplies MOP 0-0-60 in 50kg PP woven bags with PE liner, 25kg retail bags (custom printing 100+ MT), 1000kg FIBC jumbo bags, and bulk vessel shipments for export to Africa, Asia, and South America.

Standard MOQ is one 20-foot container (25-27 MT, or 500-540 bags of 50kg). Bulk orders of 100+ MT receive volume discounts. For orders over 500 MT, break-bulk vessel shipping offers more competitive per-ton pricing.

The Harmonized System Code for MOP (Potassium Chloride) is 3104.20. This code is used internationally for customs declarations, trade statistics, and import duty calculations.

Apply as basal dressing at planting (100-200 kg/ha), split into 2-3 applications during the growing season, or as top dressing during fruit development. Band-place 5-7cm from the seed row or broadcast and incorporate into soil. Split application reduces leaching losses in sandy soils.

Typical MOP rates: Maize 100-200 kg/ha, Rice 80-150 kg/ha, Sugarcane 200-400 kg/ha, Oil Palm 2-4 kg/palm/year, Cotton 100-200 kg/ha, Soybean 50-100 kg/ha. Rates depend on soil potassium levels and target yields.

MOP has a salt index of 116, which is higher than most nitrogen fertilizers. This means it has a high risk of seed damage when placed in direct contact with seeds. Always band-place MOP away from the seed row to prevent germination damage.

Every shipment includes: COA, Certificate of Origin, Commercial Invoice (HS Code 3104.20), Packing List, Bill of Lading, Phytosanitary Certificate, MSDS, and Fumigation Certificate. Additional documents arranged per destination country requirements.

Yes, we arrange inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas, or FIGICO Intl at the port of loading in Thailand. Inspection covers potassium content analysis, quantity verification, and packaging condition.

We accept: Irrevocable L/C at sight, T/T (30% deposit, balance against documents), and bank transfer for smaller orders. Payment terms may vary based on order size and buyer history.

Yes, MOP can be blended with Urea, DAP, and NPK for custom formulations. However, blends should be used promptly as MOP's chloride content can increase moisture absorption in storage.

When stored properly, MOP maintains quality for 12-24 months. It is less hygroscopic than urea, making it relatively stable during tropical storage. Anti-caking coating provides 6-12 months of protection.

Production lead time is 10-15 days. Sea freight from Laem Chabang Port: East Africa 18-25 days, West Africa 25-35 days, South Asia 10-18 days, Southeast Asia 7-14 days, South America 30-45 days.
