SOP contains no chloride and hence has a much lower salt index than MOP. Where soils are saline or sodic and where irrigation water may have high chloride levels SOP is the preferred form of potassium to use.
Where seeds or transplants are placed in direct contact with fertiliser, SOP is much less likely to cause root burn of plants.
