Product Overview
Description
Wicked Growth 0-0-60 Potassium Fertilizer delivers the highest concentration of plant-available potassium on the market, making it the ultimate solution for correcting potassium deficiencies in lawns, gardens, and agricultural crops. This pure potassium formula contains zero nitrogen and zero phosphorus, allowing gardeners and farmers to precisely target potassium needs without disrupting existing soil nutrient balances.
Potassium is essential for photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and the regulation of water within plant cells. Plants suffering from potassium deficiency show yellowing leaf margins, weak stems, and increased susceptibility to drought and disease. Wicked Growth 0-0-60 rapidly corrects these issues by delivering 60% soluble potash directly to the root zone.
Whether you're managing a backyard vegetable garden in New England, maintaining turf in the humid Southeast, or growing crops in the Midwest, this professional-grade potassium fertilizer provides the targeted nutrition your plants need for maximum resilience and productivity.
Highlights
• 60% Potassium – Highest concentration available
• Zero N-P formula for targeted feeding
• Improves drought tolerance & disease resistance
• Fast-acting granular application
• Professional-grade for home & farm use
The Science Behind It
How It Works
This high-potassium fertilizer delivers 60% soluble potash directly to plant roots through soil absorption. When applied and watered in, potassium ions become available in the soil solution, where they're taken up by root systems and transported throughout the plant. The granular formulation ensures even distribution and gradual nutrient release, allowing plants to access potassium steadily over time without nutrient burn or shock.
The Science
Potassium (K) is one of the three primary macronutrients essential for plant function. At the cellular level, potassium regulates stomatal opening and closing, controlling water loss through transpiration. It activates over 60 enzyme systems involved in photosynthesis, protein synthesis, and carbohydrate metabolism. Potassium strengthens cell walls by regulating turgor pressure, which improves drought tolerance and disease resistance. The zero nitrogen and phosphorus content makes this ideal for targeted K supplementation without disrupting existing soil nutrient ratios.
Nutrients Available
60% Soluble Potash (K₂O) – Strengthens cell walls, improves water regulation, enhances disease resistance, boosts root development, increases drought tolerance, and improves overall plant vigor and stress resilience.
How to Apply
1-2 lbs/100 sq ft every 4-6 weeks. Severe deficiency: 2-3 lbs initially.
1
Action:
Survey garden bed and note deficiency symptoms. Map high-need zones.
Pro Tip:
Sandy areas and fruiting sections need more K than shaded areas.
Avoid:
Don't leave granules on surface in hot weather - damages plants.
2
Action:
Calculate 1-2 lbs per 100 sq ft. For 10x20 garden (200 sq ft), use 2-4 lbs.
Pro Tip:
Weigh fertilizer on kitchen scale. One cup 0-0-60 weighs ~0.5 lb.
Avoid:
Don't exceed 2 lbs per 100 sq ft per application. Split heavy doses.
3
Action
Broadcast granules evenly across soil surface. Work into top 2-3 inches with cultivator.
Pro Tip:
Sandy areas and fruiting sections need more K than shaded areas.
Avoid:
Don't spread on windy days - granules drift causing uneven application.
4
Action
Water thoroughly with 1-2 inches to dissolve granules and move K into root zone.
Pro Tip:
Incorporation prevents salt buildup and gets K to roots faster.
Avoid:
Don't leave granules on surface in hot weather - damages plants.
