It is 30%
potash equivalent, or roughly 25% elemental potassium. Of course, it is not in the elemental form which can start a fire on exposure to air at room temperature!
If you are in a subtropical zone, 20-5-30 (or similar ratios such as 8-2-12) with minor- and micro-nutrients is ideal. If you are in tropical or near tropical zones with abundant nitrogen in the environment, then 15-10-30 is a better choice.
BANANA FUEL DOSAGES DURING ACTIVE GROWTH SEASONS:
Very Young Plants, TC's: 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water every watering.
Young Plant in 2 gallon pot: 2 tablespoons per month.
Plant (not juvenile) in 10 to 20 gallon pot: 1/4 cup per month.
Plant in ground with significant root space: 3/4 cup per month.
Hydroponics @ 150 ppm K: 1 Tbs per 6.5 gallons of water.
