Normally Potassium exists in the form of water soluble inorganic salts.It is involved in the vital processes like photosynthesis , carbohydrate translocation & nitrogen metabolism.It also regulates stomatal contraction & involves in several enzymatic activity.Potassium deficient plants shows chlorosis of older leaves. The deficient leaf curls downwards ( convex) ,further leading to the necrosis of leaves.
