Learn moreWhy potassium?
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.
