Features Improved flower formation and seed production. Earlier and more uniform crop maturity. Improvements in crop quality. Along with phosphate, potash is instrumental in starch and carbohydrate synthesis, which is essential in the development of large and healthy photosynthesis organs. A potash deficiency may lead to reduced cell wall strength, which can lead to the breaking of stems, leafs, and susceptibility to the toppling over and breaking of heavy branches. Phosphate deficient plants take longer to initiate flowering, produce fewer flowers, and are restricted in flower size. Phosphate deficiencies can result in a reduction in leaf expansion and also the number of leafs.
