The effects of high CI- concentrations in the soil solution on yields of various crops is shown in the following
graphs. The steeper the yield decline with increasing CI- soil concentrations the more sensitive to chloride is a
crop and hence the better will be the response to virtually CI- free fertilisers, e.g. KALISOP and Patentkali.

Prior to these substantial yield depressions, uptake of large amounts of chloride may lead to negative effects
on crop quality such as:
Reduced content of organic acids, resulting in a flat taste
Accumulation of low molecular organic substances and thus decreased contents of valuable storage
compounds (sugar, starch, protein)
Increase hydration of plant tissue and decreased storage or processing properties.
To avoid yield, quality and hence income losses in chloride sensitive and especially high value crops, where
quality counts, the use of our low chlorine potassium fertilisers, KALISOP and Patentkali is recommended.
