Potash mineral fertilizers are used in agriculture. They are used in industry for production of multinutrient fertilizers (NPK) and at the production of the following materials:

• substitution for leather
• synthetic rubber
• yeast and yeast as fodder

Potassium is necessary for photosynthesis and therefore it affects the quality and amount of the crops. Potassium is the regulator of the water content in the individual cells and in the whole plant as well. Potassium is the controller of the plant health, it secures the natural immunity from diseases, injurants and physiologycal factors(drought, humidity, frost). Potassium provides accumulation of sugar and proteins, increasing of grain size and bulb plants size.

Potassium is continuosly outgoing from the soil, therefore it is necessary to supply its reservers. At the agricultural production with account of secondary phenomena outgoing of K2O from the soil per tonne of products is following(in kg):

• flax for spinning.....73,0
• buckwheat..............48,0
• pea..........................29,0
• barley......................27,0
• autumnal rye..........23,0
• hay..........................22,0
• potatoes.................10,7
• sugar-breet..............7,5
• berries fruit..............6,0
• tomatoes..................4,4

You may rely that if you contact the BELARUSKALI or the foreign representatives you will be delivered potash mineral fertilizers of the necessary type and amount in due time.
