Product Overview
At Aethon Chemicals, we supply high-purity Monopotassium Phosphate (MKP), a fully water-soluble fertilizer widely used in fertigation, hydroponics, and high-value crop nutrition. MKP provides an excellent source of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in a chloride-free form, making it ideal for sensitive crops such as fruits, vegetables, floriculture, and greenhouse cultivation.
With its low salt index and high nutrient efficiency, MKP supports root development, flowering, and fruit setting while improving overall plant health. Apart from agriculture, it is also used in specialty formulations and food-grade buffer systems (non-food supply from our end).
