Is Potassium not assimilated by plants ?
Potassium is not integrated into the plant strucure to any great
extent. Potassium is predominantly involved in ion channels. It regulates potential across the cell membrane, providing energy for cellular processes, maintaining osmotic pressure, etc. Take away potassium and the cell's biological processes shut down. FWIW plants actually have quite a high potassium demand, second only to nitrogen. Andrew
