Potassium is a vitally important element for all living organisms. It is a natural component of soils and along with phosphorus and nitrogen, an irreplaceable nutrient for plants. A balanced agricultural crop nutrition can only be ensured by regular and timely application of these three main macronutrients.

Why Plants Need Potassium

Potassium increases the nutrient level, improves the taste, colour and structure of fruits
Potassium improves resistance to crop diseases and pests
Potassium improves resistance to droughts and frost
Potassium increases the rate of nitrogen assimilation

Why Farmers Use Potassium

To achive high yields balanced use with other elements
To improve product quality
To improve soil conservation and the natural soil balance of nutrients

Thereby, proper use of potash fertilizers is safe for the environment.

Why People Need Potassium

Improves supply of oxygen to the brain
Involved in the transmission of neural impulses
Activates enzymes
Normalises heart rhythm
Has a beneficial effect on kidneys
Regulates the water balance in cells and tissues
Regulates metabolic processes
Has a beneficial effect on skin
Regulates the acid-base balance of blood
Prevents accumulation of sodium in cells
Helps to eliminate toxins from the body

Why Mankind Cannot do Without Potash

The world’s population is growing, while the arable land per capita is declining, so people feel the need for higher crop yields to ensure food safety.

Scientific studies show that the maximum yield and consistently high quality of crops can only be achieved by providing plants with all necessary nutrients (including potassium) in the required amounts.
