dalam 1 ton hasil panen tebu terdapat sekitar 1,95 kg N; 0,30 0,82 kg P2O5 dan 1,17 - 6,0 kg K2O yang berasal dari dalam
tanah.
Kalium terdapat didalam sel-sel yaitu sebagai ion-ion didalam
cairan sel dan sebagai persenyawaan adsorptif didalam zat putih telur
dari sitoplasma. Inti sel tidak mengandung kalium. Sebagai ion
didalam cairan sel, Kalium berperan dalam melaksanakan turgor
yang disebabkan oleh tekanan osmotis.
