Potassium is one of the basic elements necessary for good growth and development of agricultural plants. Cereals, potatoes, beets, cabbage, and cucumbers are especially in need of potassium.
Potassium improves photosynthesis, increases cellular metabolism, and strengthens the root system.
Potassium for plant nutrition and growth
Potassium helps maintain normal metabolism, fills cells with energy, and saves the plant in drought. Potassium activates enzymes, particularly sucrose and amylase.
Potassium deficiency is expressed by such signs:
- stem, leaves, and fruits lose their elasticity, wither, and wither
- the edges of the leaves curl up and become brown, “burnt”;
- Cereal crops do not grow well, the lower leaves wilt;
- Plants do not tolerate frosts well;
- The root system weakens.
Even if the soil contains potassium, this does not exempt the farmer from using potassium fertilizer. The plant is not able to independently take potassium from the soil, for this you need to dissolve it in the right proportion and preferably in combination with nitrogen, phosphorus and other micronutrients.
Potassium in pre-sowing treatment.
Pre-sowing treatment solves a set of problems:
- The beneficial substances act strictly according to their intended purpose;
- helps plants recover from the stress of chemical treatments;
- increases germination, increases resistance to adverse environmental factors.
Potassium in complex liquid fertilizers.
Plants absorb the useful trace elements in liquid compound fertilizers best. Such fertilizers contain a balanced set of nutrients – potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, nitrogen. The choice of the right fertilizer depends on the type of soil, the type of crop, the period of cultivation, crop rotation
The company “Zoloto Poley” gives preference to complex fertilizers in liquid form and offers to sell quality products of its own production. Specialists have developed an exclusive complex composition containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other useful trace elements in the most accessible form for plants.
