POTASSIUM

Potassium increases the plant's vigor including disease resistance. Strong, stiff stalks are also an effect of potassium. Additionally, potassium promotes productions of sugar, starches and oils, increases size of grains and fruits and improves the quality of the crop's yield.
 

POTASSIUM - DEFICIENCY

Potassium deficiency includes reduced vigor, increased disease problems, thin fruit/vegetable skins as well as small fruit.
