Potash derived from molasses (PDM) is a Fertilizer Control Order-notified organic potassium fertilizer manufactured from the incinerated spent-wash ash of sugarcane molasses distilleries, carrying a minimum of 14.5% water-soluble K2O. First notified under FCO 1985 in 2009, PDM was formally brought under India’s Nutrient-Based Subsidy scheme from the Rabi 2022 season, with a subsidy of[…]

Bio K fertilizer – also widely referred to as Bio Potash or PDM (Potash Derived from Molasses) – is a granular, potassium-rich soil amendment containing approximately 14.5% elemental potassium (K2O), produced from the incinerated spent-wash ash of molasses-based distilleries, a sugarcane industry by-product. Unlike synthetic muriate of potash (MOP), Bio K functions as both a[…]

Bio potash fertilizer – most commonly available in India as granular PDM (Potash Derived from Molasses) – is an organic potassium fertilizer manufactured from the spent wash ash generated during molasses-based ethanol distillation, a by-product of the sugarcane processing industry, carrying a minimum of 14.5% water-soluble potassium oxide (K2O) along with significant organic matter, amino[…]
