Potassium Chloride Replacement
Potassium salt fertilizers are soil biodiversity's number 1 enemy.
The average farmer applies 200 kg of potassium chloride to the soil per hectare per year. This is equivalent to the application of 1,600 litres of
bleach as far as killing soil biodiversity.'
The world currently uses 61.5 million tonnes of potassium chloride for agriculture per year², the equivalent to more than 460 billion liters of
bleach killing soil biodiversity yearly.
Verde's Product eliminates the need for potassium chloride.
