Can potassium chloride be used as fertilizer?

Potassium chloride as fertilizer

Potassium chloride can be used as a fertilizer and can be used directly as a fertilizer. This fertilizer is usually used in agricultural planting, mainly to provide potassium for crops such as rice and corn, which can make the soil more fertile and suitable for crop growth.

Potassium chloride can be used as flower fertilizer. During the growth period of flowers that need potassium supplementation, it can be applied directly to the soil. It can be used as fertilizer for flowers, but if the flowers do not need potassium, do not use it. It is suitable for roses, Clivia, etc.

How to make potassium chloride fertilizer

1. Soil fermentation

Potassium chloride can be mixed in soil without plants, and then a certain amount of water can be added for fermentation. This can make the soil more fertile and the distribution of potassium more even.

2. Direct application

Potassium chloride can be buried at a suitable distance from the plants, and then a certain amount of water can be poured in. The potassium chloride will slowly decompose in the soil, gradually transporting the potassium element to the plants that need to consume this substance.

Key points for using potassium chloride fertilizer

1. Pay attention to the use of flowers

Potassium chloride fertilizer is not a general fertilizer. Many flowers do not need to consume too much potassium. If it is applied blindly, it is easy to cause the soil concentration to be too high and the plants cannot absorb it.

2. Use in moderation

Potassium chloride fertilizer contains a very high content of potassium, and it will release a large amount of organic matter during the decomposition process. Therefore, when using it, you should adhere to the principle of small amounts and multiple times and add it gradually.
