Potassium is a moving element within the plant and in all parts of the plant, it accounts for as much as 25% of ash. It is found in the soil where it absorbs relatively large quantities of the ionic image. It is distinguished from the rest of the elements that it does not enter the structure of important materials inside the plant tissues and is directly related to the protein structure, which is considered a basic nutrient of the plant.
Potassium is the primary source of absorbable potassium from the plant and the species usually represents only a small amount of total potassium in the soil.
The most important potassium deposits within the plant:
- An important component in the production and transfer of sugars in the plant.
- Helps reduce sugars and transform them into grown up.
- Basic quality of photosynthesis.
- Helps absorb dirt from the soil.
- Increases plant resistance to certain diseases.
- Reduces plant transpiration and thus increases its resistance to drought.
- Earn leg and leaves durability.
Symptoms of potassium deficiency:
- Yellowing at the leaves at the edges and inward direction.
- Wrap the leaves in the form of a mesap.
- The yellow leaves turn brown or brown.
- The leaves leaves remain small.
- If the shortage is small, a small but small quantity is formed.
- In cases of extreme shortage, leaves die especially in the middle of branches.
- We notice the weakness of the formation of fruit shoots in fruit trees.
- In general, the resulting fruit specifications are poor.
Treatment of potassium deficiency:
Potassium deficiency is treated with available fertilizers in the form of 50% potassium sulfate.
