PLANTS DIG POTASSIUM
“
Although it is not an active
component of plant organic
matter and compounds,
potassium is closely
involved in the activation
and regulation of numerous
plant processes.”
A
card-carrying member of the elite 17 elements deemed
essential for the growth, development and reproduction of plants, potassium (K) is not an element to grow
without. Categorized as a macronutrient, along with
nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), potassium is required
by plants in relatively large amounts. Although it is not an
active component of plant organic matter and compounds,
potassium is closely involved in the activation and regulation of numerous plant processes. The importance of
potassium in these processes is the reason it has earned the
nickname “The Regulator”.
