Draslíkbased

Draslíkbased is a proprietary, potassium‑rich compound developed by the Czech chemical company AgroChemika for use in industrial and agricultural processes. The name derives from the Czech word “draslík,” meaning potassium, reflecting the main active component of the product: potassium oxide (K₂O) derived from high‑purity potassium carbonate. The formulation also contains trace amounts of magnesium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and micronutrients such as zinc and iron to enhance its utility in various applications.

In the agricultural sector, Draslíkbased is marketed as a fast‑acting fertilizer blend designed to increase plant vigor, improve nutrient uptake, and raise crop yields. Field trials on cereal crops have reported a 6–8 % increase in grain weight on plots treated with the compound compared to untreated controls. The product is typically applied as a dolomite‑based slurry to the soil surface, allowing for quick dissolution and root absorption. Because the compound is pH neutral, it is compatible with a wide range of soil types and does not contribute to acidification.

Beyond agriculture, Draslíkbased finds application as a filler in the manufacture of organic coatings and as a catalyst promoter in the synthesis of certain polymeric materials. In industrial chemistry, its potassium content is exploited in the production of potassium salts and as an electrolyte component in certain niche battery chemistries.

Although the manufacturer claims high purity and consistent performance, independent laboratory analyses have identified varying levels of residual sodium and chloride, suggesting batch‑to‑batch variability. Consumers are advised to consult technical data sheets and perform soil testing before large‑scale use. Draslíkbased remains subject to European Union regulations governing fertilizer import and sale under the EU Fertilizers Regulation.
