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.
The chief use of potassium chloride is in the production of fertilizers fertilizer,organic or inorganic material containing one or more of the nutrientsâmainly nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and other essential elements required for plant growth......otassium chloride. (inorganic chemistry). KCl Colorless crystals with saline taste; soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol; melts at 776Â°C; used as a fertilizer and in photography and pharmaceutical preparations. Also known as potassium muriate.
