Hello
The "mono"-type has 1 Potassium for each Phosphorus,
the "di"-type has 2 Potassium for each Phosphorus atom.
The other substanses are of minor interest. So, if You think Your plants need
Potassium more than Phosphorus, You ought to choose the "di"-type.
I think that the might be a slight differ in how the two affect pH, but I have
know knowledge in wich direction.
