Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄)
Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄)
Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄) is a strong oxidizing agent widely used in agriculture for its disinfectant, fungicidal, and water treatment properties. It helps control soil-borne pathogens, improves seed germination by sterilizing seeds, and enhances irrigation water quality by oxidizing organic impurities. Known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, KMnO₄ is a versatile solution for maintaining healthy crops and preventing disease outbreaks.
Overview
Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄) is a strong oxidizing agent widely used in agriculture for its disinfectant, fungicidal, and water treatment properties. It helps control soil-borne pathogens, improves seed germination by sterilizing seeds, and enhances irrigation water quality by oxidizing organic impurities. Known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, KMnO₄ is a versatile solution for maintaining healthy crops and preventing disease outbreaks.
Key Features & Benefits
1)Acts as a broad-spectrum disinfectant against fungi, bacteria, and algae.
2)Improves seed germination by breaking dormancy and sterilizing seed surfaces.
3)Used for soil sterilization, reducing pathogen load.
4)Enhances irrigation water quality by oxidizing organic matter and contaminants.
5)Helps control storage rot in certain fruits and vegetables.
6)Non-persistent in soil – breaks down into manganese dioxide (MnO₂), providing trace Mn to plants.
7)Multi-purpose agricultural input with low application rates.

Safety & Handling
1)Strong oxidizer – handle with care.
2)Wear protective gloves, goggles, and mask while handling.
3)Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from organic materials and reducing agents.
4)Avoid direct skin or eye contact – may cause irritation or burns.
5)Keep away from fire, combustible materials, and direct sunlight.
6)In case of accidental spill, dilute with plenty of water and neutralize with reducing agents.
7)Keep out of reach of children and animals.
