Understanding Potassium for Plant Growth | Mastering How to Use Nutrients in Hydroponics

Today’s video is about understanding potassium for plant growth and mastering how to use nutrients in hydroponics. Managing your nutrients in hydroponics is so vital and also can be complicated. M.S. Karla Garcia from Hort Americas Technical Service analyzes the role potassium plays, and how it is best to add it to the nutrient solution and in what quantities. Today we will learn about another nutrient which is potassium, which is another very important nutrient for plant growth and development. What is the difference between potassium and the rest of the nutrients? Potassium can be a key factor in many important plant processes. For example, in plant nutrition, one of the most common functions of potassium is its function in enzyme activation, then controlling many important plant processes. Another important function of potassium is its role as osmotic regulator, taking an important role in stomata opening. As we know, stomata are bound by two cells. We know that a lot of things are happening in stomata, so that is one of the reasons why potassium is very important, because potassium is a key element in this process. Focusing on the role of potassium in our fertilizers, potassium can help to protect an ionization balance, so it's very important to have the correct amount of potassium in order to create the ambient for the plant to take up the nutrients. If we think about the physiology of potassium in plants, and we focus on plant production, which is the business that we care about. So, what is the function of potassium in order or quality? Potassium can affect the fruit size, the appearance, color, acidity, vitamin content, taste and shelf life. Potassium is an essential component for the survival of all living organisms. It's a mineral macronutrient that's abundant in both plant and animal tissues. It is required for all live cells to function properly. As a result, potassium (K) is an important nutrient for plant growth. Because plants absorb considerable amounts of K during their life cycle, it is regarded as a macronutrient. Minnesota soils can provide some K for crop production, but if the supply from the soil is insufficient, the K must be supplied through a fertilizer program.
