1 In Photosynthesis, potassium regulates the opening and closing of stomata, and therefore regulates CO2 uptake. 2  Potassium triggers activation of enzymes and is essential for production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). 3  ATP is an important energy source for many chemical processes taking place in plant issues. Protein and starch synthesis in plants require potassium as well. 2  Potassium is essential at almost every step of the protein synthesis. 3  In starch synthesis, the enzyme responsible for the process is activated by potassium.
How to Use Potash. Potash doesnât move in soil more than an inch so it is important to till it into the root zone of plants. The average amount for potassium poor soil is Â¼ to 1/3 pound of potassium chloride or potassium sulphate per 100 square feet.Excess potassium accumulates as salt, which can be damaging to roots.t is stored in soil and harvested as salt deposits. Potassium salts in the form of nitrates, sulfates and chlorides are the forms of potash used in fertilizer. They get used by plants which then release potassium into their crops.
