Specifications
| Technical | Potash Derived from Molasses (PDM) — K2O min. 14.5% 14.5% K2O min. |
|---|---|
| Category | Fertilisers |
| Chemical group | Potassium salts recovered from sugar-industry molasses |
| Target crops | All crops |
| Corrects | Not applicable — this is a nutrient input, not a crop-protection product. |
| Key benefits | Potassium made in India. The country imports almost all its muriate of potash, and PDM is the domestic alternative — which is why it carries a subsidy. It is a weaker source than MOP by the numbers, so the rate per acre is higher, but it brings organic matter with it and the price reflects the difference. |
| Pack sizes | 50 kg |
| Recommended dose | The FCO sets composition and labelling, not application rate. Note that the notified minimum is 14.5% K2O against 60% for muriate of potash, so a rate carried across from MOP would be roughly four times short. |
| Water volume | Applied to soil, not sprayed. |
| Waiting period (PHI) | Not applicable to a fertiliser. |
| FCO category | Organic fertiliser |
| Regulatory framework | Fertiliser (Control) Order 1985, Schedule I |
| Shelf life | To be confirmed. PDM is hygroscopic — it takes up moisture from the air — so keep the bag closed and off the floor. |
