This short film in Hindi tells the story of a farmer who is not getting proper yields from his crops despite taking care of them. A friend advises him to adopt balanced fertilization, making sure he is supplying sufficient potassium (K). This should ensure he sees the benefits of potash on crop yield, crop quality, […]
Potassium is an essential nutrient for plants, and it promotes growth and increases yields. Potash regulates plant metabolism ensuring a healthy and sturdy crop which is more resistant to stresses. Potash increases the use of other nutrients in the plant, thus increasing the efficiency of applied urea and DAP. Potash fertilization increases root growth, drought […]
