The fertilizers in which has potassium as the major component are known as potash fertilizers. Potassium is one of the three macronutrients required by plants and helps plants in the water uptake and synthesis of plant sugars. Potassium is available in foods derived from plants and is very useful for humans as well.
Generally, plants absorb potassium from the soil. However, in certain types of soils, potassium content is low or non-existent. Potash is manufactured on a commercial scale as fertilizer to be used in such soils. It is also used to improve the yield of the crops and the nutrient value. Potassium deficiency in plants results in a decrease in crop yield, poor water utility, and a decrease in pest resistance.
The decrease of potash content in many of the agricultural soils due to aggressive farming over the years has increased the demand for potash fertilizers. Increasing requirements to enhance the yield of crops on limited land, increasing food demand due to the growing population, and increasing government initiatives to increase agricultural productivity are driving market growth. However, the volatility of prices of potash fertilizers and growing demand for organic crop cultivation are hindering market growth.
