Potassium plays a fundamental role in multiple events that occur in plants. It increases the cell sap and thus the plant’s water balance and resistance against drought. It helps in preventing drought and frost stress. Potassium increases the resistance of plants against diseases. Potassium, which ensures the maturation of the seed, also provides the development of the root system of the plant. It plays a role in the formation of chlorophyll. It regulates the opening and closing of stomatal cells in plant leaves and the uptake of water by stem cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


It is a mobile element within the plant. Deficiency is seen in older leaves. In potassium deficiency, the turgor pressure in the plants decreases and the plants become brittle because of water stress. If used less in early periods, tomatoes also make a hollow. In the deficiency of cucumber fruit, bulbization is seen. Banana fruit is very important during the ripening period. It helps to prevent calyx cracks in ornamental plants. It is a very important element in quality criteria such as color, smell, taste, storage of fruits and ornamental plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
