What is potash fertilizer, the main function of potash fertilizer, the role of potash fertilizer in agricultural production

The name of potash fertilizer comes from its function. Potassium in plants generally accounts for 0.2%~4.1% of the dry matter weight, second only to nitrogen. Potassium participates in the activation of more than 60 enzyme systems, photosynthesis, transportation of assimilated products, carbohydrate metabolism and protein synthesis during plant growth and development. Therefore, people named this fertilizer "potash fertilizer".

Potash fertilizer is a nutrient element required for the growth of crops. It can promote the growth and development of crops and improve the quality and yield of crops. The following are the main effects and functions of potassium fertilizer:

The main effect of potassium fertilizer:

Promote photosynthesis: Potassium fertilizer can promote the synthesis of chlorophyll, enhance photosynthesis, enable crops to better utilize solar energy, and improve the utilization rate of light energy.

Enhance stress resistance: Potassium fertilizer can enhance the stress resistance of crops, so that crops have better drought resistance, cold resistance, waterlogging resistance, salinity and alkali resistance. At the same time, it can also improve the ability of crops to resist diseases and pests and reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests.

Promote growth and development: Potassium fertilizer can promote the growth and development of crops, make crops grow stronger, and improve the ability of crops to resist lodging.

Increase yield: Potassium fertilizer can increase the yield and quality of crops. In agricultural production, potassium fertilizer is particularly effective in increasing the yield of grain crops such as cereals, wheat, and corn.

Improve quality: Potassium fertilizer can improve the quality of crops, making them more nutritious and taste better. For example, potassium fertilizer can increase the sweetness and flavor of fruits, and increase the weight and hardness of fruits.

Potassium fertilizer has the following functions in agricultural production:

Nutrient supply: Potassium fertilizer is one of the important nutrients required for crop growth. It can provide potassium ions (K?) for crops and participate in various physiological metabolic processes in crops, including photosynthesis, protein synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, etc.

Water management: Potassium fertilizer can regulate the water metabolism of crops and enable crops to better adapt to arid and semi-arid environments. Potassium ions can maintain the normal function of cell membranes, reduce water loss, and improve the water use efficiency of crops.

Enhanced stress resistance: Potassium fertilizer can improve the stress resistance of crops, including drought resistance, cold resistance, waterlogging resistance, and salinity resistance. Potassium ions can enhance the water retention and osmotic regulation ability of cells, reduce the water gradient inside and outside cells, and reduce cell damage, thereby improving the stress resistance of crops.
