pH Control Products

MORR, Inc. offers a comprehensive selection of high-quality formulations designed to effectively manage pH levels in agricultural applications. Proper pH management is essential for optimizing nutrient availability, enhancing plant health, and ensuring successful crop yields. This product line includes potassium hydroxide, phosphoric acid, citric acid, potassium bicarbonate, and potassium carbonate, each tailored to meet the specific needs of growers and cultivators.

Key Products:

1. Khemical pH Up (50% Potassium Hydroxide):

   • This concentrated solution is specifically formulated to raise the pH of water for fertilizer pH management. Maintaining the correct pH during fertilizer blending is crucial for solubility and nutrient uptake. Khemical pH Up is designed for efficiency, allowing a small amount to effectively buffer and adjust irrigation water, keeping costs manageable.
   • Technical-grade potassium hydroxide is proven to predictably raise pH and maintain setpoints for extended periods, outperforming other pH adjustment products.
   • Freeze Point: 48°F.
   • Usage Note: Conduct a titration test to determine the appropriate amount needed for pH adjustment.

2. Khemical White Phosphoric Acid (75%):

   • This high-concentration phosphoric acid is an effective solution for lowering pH with minimal addition to fertilizer blends. As an odorless, colorless inorganic compound (H3PO4), it not only adjusts pH but also provides phosphorus, a vital nutrient for plant growth.
   • When incorporating into fertilizer programs, it is essential to perform a jar test to check compatibility and monitor for precipitation. Additionally, observe pH stability over time to understand how long the solution remains effective.
   • Available in 5-gallon and 55-gallon sizes, with drum pumps available for 55-gallon drums.

3. Khemical Citric Acid Anhydrous:

   • This versatile acid is available in granular and fine granular forms, serving dual purposes in agriculture. It effectively adjusts pH levels in soil and irrigation systems, enhancing nutrient availability and improving plant health and yield.
   • Citric acid also contributes to pest management, offering a safer alternative to synthetic chemicals and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
   • Product Variants:
     • Granular (50 Pounds, 40/Plt): Ideal for general agricultural use.
     • Food Grade Granular (50 Pounds, 44/Plt): Meets stringent quality standards for crops intended for consumption.
     • Fine Granular Food Grade USP (50 Pounds, 44/Plt): Ensures a higher dissolution rate for precise pH control in specialized settings.

4. Khemical Potassium Bicarbonate (KHCO3):

   • This water-soluble compound is an effective agent for raising pH levels in nutrient solutions and soils. Potassium bicarbonate not only adjusts pH but also provides potassium, an essential macronutrient that plays a critical role in plant metabolism, water regulation, and stress resistance.
   • Its neutralizing properties make it an excellent choice for managing soil acidity and enhancing nutrient uptake. Additionally, potassium bicarbonate can help control certain fungal diseases, making it a valuable tool for integrated pest management.
   • Packaging: Available in 50-pound bags (40/Plt), suitable for large-scale agricultural operations.

5. Khemical Potassium Carbonate (K2CO3):

   • This highly soluble compound is used to raise pH levels in irrigation water and nutrient solutions. Potassium carbonate is effective in providing potassium while also acting as a buffering agent, helping to stabilize pH levels over time.
   • Its rapid dissolution rate ensures quick adjustments, making it ideal for dynamic agricultural environments where pH fluctuations can impact crop health.
   • Like potassium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate supports plant growth by enhancing nutrient availability and promoting overall vigor.
   • Packaging: Available in 50-pound bags (40/Plt), designed for efficient handling and application in commercial agriculture.

Safety Considerations:

• Khemical products are formulated with the highest quality raw materials to ensure reliability and effectiveness. However, concentrated solutions can cause severe skin burns and permanent eye damage. Proper storage, usage guidelines, and personal protective equipment are essential for safe handling.

Khemical's pH Control Products for Agriculture are trusted by growers across North America for their uncompromised quality and performance. By effectively managing pH levels, these products help prevent issues that can arise from improper nutrient management, ultimately supporting successful agricultural operations.
