Need of Potash for wheat crop at this crucial stage || Crop Reformer

Potassium is one of the most important nutrients for better health growth and development of wheat crop. It is usually used in the form of sop fertilizer (that is called Sulphate of Potash, potassium sulfate fertilizer, potassium sulphate fertilizer). It plays a vital role for wheat crop at booting stage of wheat crop. Smart use of this nutrient may lead to better yield of wheat. Using all the quantity of potassium fertilizer at sowing stage may not deliver required results. It is important to use it according the the needs of the crop to get maximum benefit from its usage in wheat crop. Fertilizers are becoming expensive day by day. So, there is a need to use them smartly and effectively so that we can save our precious investment and achieve a decent profit from our spending.
Potash is very important, major nutrient element and required in high quantity and even more than nitrogen in several crops. In this video, we have highlighted its Deficiency Symptoms in the field crops. In most cases its pronounced visible symptoms are not seen and a hidden hunger leading to lesser yield is attributed to potash Deficiency. Curling of maize, wheat and sugarcane crops leaves is seen in case of lesser deficiency but in severe cases scorching of leaf margins of the lower leaves is observed in most cereal crops. Late maturity, development of fleshy peeled oranges having lesser amount of juice is also attributed to its deficiency. Reduction of internodal distance in sugarcane and poor cementing or lignification of the stem tissues of the cereal crops leading to lodging tendency is also considered as the typical symptom of potash deficiency.
Such circumstances are developing in the world that may lead to a crisis of fertilizers throughout the globe. Especially developing countries are expected to become victim of this crisis. There are several reasons behind this issue. Firstly, we know that Russia is the top exporter of fertilizers globally due to its reserves of natural gas as this fossil fuel is necessary for processing of fertilizers. Due to conflict between Russia and Ukraine, America and Europe have imposed severe sanctions on Russia to stop its invasion of neighboring country. This has halted the exports of Russia because now Russia is out of SWIFT payment system that is used for payments worldwide. Second major reason is the uncertainty of global food security. China is the second largest exporter of fertilizers in the world. China has announced not to export fertilizers any more due to the risks of food shortage for their public in the near future. So, they have decided to meet the needs of its own people.
