A plant-based, highly available form of K that is perfect for pastoral systems and properties that are low in Potassium. Potassium from incinerated molasses ash (Phosta K) is a natural fertiliser made from ash produced by burning molasses. This ash contains high levels of potassium, which is essential for plant growth. Using this fertiliser provides a natural, sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilisers, specifically Potassium Chloride, which is known to have detrimental effects on soil health and can burn plant leaves.

Potassium from incinerated molasses ash (Phosta K) is basically a type of fertiliser that's made from the ash that's left over after burning molasses. Molasses is a byproduct of sugar production and is often used to make ethanol and other products. Phosta K is a BioGRO Certified Organic Fertiliser that replaces Potassium Chloride (KCl) with a more effective and available source of K.
When molasses is burned, the ash that's left behind contains high levels of potassium, as well as other minerals and nutrients that are good for plants. This ash is then refined to create a concentrated potassium fertiliser or nutrient product.
Potassium is super important for plants to grow properly. It helps with root development and water regulation, and can help plants deal with stress caused by things like drought. It's also necessary for fruits and vegetables to grow.
Using potassium from incinerated molasses ash (Phosta K) is a great way to get a natural and sustainable source of potassium, and it's better for the environment than synthetic fertilisers. Plus, it's a way to recycle a waste product and reduce waste.
But it's important to be careful when using any fertiliser or nutrient product. You don't want to apply too much and end up damaging the soil and water quality. Be sure to read the instructions on the product label and get advice from a local agriculture expert or extension agent on how much to use and how to apply it correctly.
