Potash is a vitally important element, necessary for the functioning of all living organisms. It is a natural
component of soils and, along with phosphorus and nitrogen, an irreplaceable nutrient for plants and
agricultural crops. Balanced plant nutrition can only be ensured by regular and timely application of these
three main macronutrients. Potash has been used throughout history in the manufacture of glass and soap,
but is used primarily as a fertilizer, with 95 % of all potash produced being used in this way, as there is no
known substitute that rivals its effectiveness in this capacity.
