Renisco KCS 68 is a clay-coated, controlled-release potassium sulfate fertilizer granule containing approximately 68% K₂O equivalent. The clay coating regulates potassium release, aligning nutrient availability with plant uptake over an extended period. This minimizes leaching and enhances nutrient-use efficiency. Renisco KCS 68 is widely used in horticulture, agriculture, turf management, and specialty crop production.

Description

Renisco KCS 68

Primary Uses

  1. Agriculture & Field Crops
  • Provides essential potassium supply for crops like corn, wheat, soybeans, and cotton.
  • Enhances plant stress resistance, improved yield, and quality.
  • Reduces soil salinity impact by replacing chloride-based potassium sources.
  1. Horticulture & Specialty Crops
  • Used in fruit trees (citrus, apple, stone fruits), grapes, berries, and vegetables.
  • Promotes fruit size, flavor, sugar content, and shelf life.
  • Applied in sustained-release programs for consistent nutrient delivery.
  1. Turf & Ornamental Plantings
  • Used in golf course greens, sports fields, and ornamental landscapes.
  • Supports turf strength, drought tolerance, and uniform color.
  • Ideal for slow-release fertilization to reduce burn risk and runoff.

Secondary Uses

  1. Controlled-Release Nursery Media
  • Incorporated in potting soils and nursery mixes to provide prolonged potassium supply.
  • Reduces frequency of nutrient application in containers.
  1. Greenhouse Production
  • Used in greenhouse bedding plants and container-grown ornamentals where consistent nutrient release is desirable.
  1. Golf Course & Landscaping Projects
  • Applied in maintenance of EMBANKMENTS and MITIGATION plantings requiring slow-release nutrition.
