What is IFFCO Potash Meal?

IFFCO Potash Meal is an organic potassium-rich fertilizer derived from natural mineral and plant-based sources.

Unlike chemical potash fertilizers, potash meal releases nutrients gradually, ensuring better absorption by plant roots and minimal nutrient loss.

It is especially suitable for organic farming, kitchen gardens, terrace gardens, and horticultural crops.
