WHAT IS POTASH?

• Potassium is obtained from potash-bearing ores


such as sylvanite.

• Potash in mined from naturally occurring ore


bodies which were formed as sea water
evaporated.

• Potash, or carbonate of potash, is in fact a


mixture of potassium salt with impure form of
potassium carbonate (K2CO3). In other words, it
is the common term used for the fertilizer forms
of the element potassium (K).
Potassium occurs abundantly in nature, being
the 7th most common element in the earth's
crust. Some clay minerals which are associated
with heavy soils are rich sources of potassium.
33
WHAT IS POTASH USED FOR?
• 95% of Potash is used for fertilizer

• Fertilizer (NPK) is a combination of Nitrogen (N),


Phosphate (P) and Potassium (K)

• Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are three of


the most essential nutrients that a plant needs to
grow.

44
BENEFITS OF POTASH
• Slows growth of crop diseases
• Maintains cell resilience
• Reduces wilting
• Reduces water loss
• Increases the protein available to plants
• Assists in photosynthesis by activating more than 50
enzymes
• Improves drought resistance
• Builds cellulose
• INCREASED CROP YIELDS

Potash has no commercial substitute as a potassium
