Hello Everyone!

Can anyone explain what the difference is  between potassium sulphate and Monopotassium Phosphate -KH2PO4

Thanks for any help on this subject in advance.

Potassium sulfate doses only potassium if needed
Mon potassium phosphate  doses mainly phosphates along with some potassium.

Oh ! Ok thanks for the fast reply Charlie.

I'm back on track i bought the right stuff i was reading a lot on the form and was getting a little confused. I thought i bought the wrong stuff.

Potassium sulfate is K2SO4.  Therefore when you use it you also add sulfur in the form of a sulfate.  Just like if you were using potassium nitrate (KNO3) you would add nitrogen in the form of nitrate.
