Which of the following is a potassic fertilizer?

  • A.Urea
  • B.SSP
  • C.DAP
  • D.MOP

Answer: D

The potassic fertilizer is MOP (muriate of potash).

Muriate of potash is potassium chloride, containing about 60 per cent K2O, and is the most widely used potassium fertilizer.

Urea is a nitrogen fertilizer, SSP (single super phosphate) a phosphatic fertilizer, and DAP (diammonium phosphate) supplies nitrogen and phosphorus but no potassium.

SSP supplies phosphorus with some sulphur and calcium, while DAP (18 per cent N and 46 per cent P2O5) is the most widely used phosphatic fertilizer in India.
