Results show potatoes treated with Protassium+ yield 3 Tons more U.S. No. 1s per acre than potatoes treated with muriate of potash5 . MORE U.S. NO. 1S Protassium+ provides potatoes the necessary nutrients for optimum yield, including 17% sulfate sulfur. The sulfate sulfur in Protassium+ can help keep potatoes healthy by inhibiting the spread of powdery scab disease4 . TWO ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS BETTER STORABILITY Protassium+ delivers nutrients that help reduce shrinkage and sprouting in storage. In fact, potatoes treated with Protassium+ have fewer sprouts per tuber after 200 days in storage versus potatoes treated with other K sources (like muriate of potash)3 . Potatoes remove up to 56 lbs. of K2O/100 cwt of yield1 . Results show that replenishing fields with Protassium+ produces up to 5 Tons/acre more than fields treated with muriate of potash2 . THE NEED FOR POTASSIUM CROP | POTATOES SOLUTION | REPLENISH WITH PROTASSIUM+TM PROBLEM | YIELD-ROBBING CHLORIDE K File # 1259 Many potato growers replenish their fields with K sources that contain high levels of potassium and chloride. While high potassium content is beneficial, high chloride content often leads to nutritional imbalances and nutrient displacement. To avoid the harmful effects of chloride, growers have turned to Protassium+ TM sulfate of  potash, a premium K source with more to offer.
