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.<\/p>
Potassium improves photosynthesis, increases cellular metabolism, and strengthens the root system.<\/p>
Potassium helps maintain normal metabolism, fills cells with energy, and saves the plant in drought. Potassium activates enzymes, particularly sucrose and amylase.<\/p>
Potassium deficiency is expressed by such signs:<\/p>
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.<\/p>
