Potassium (Potash is the old farmer's name for it) is one of the three most critical elements for good production from most growing crops, and corn is no exception. Along with Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K) is what makes up the "third number" of the three numbers you see on a bag of fertilizer, like: 10-6-4, or 5-10-5. They are, in order, the relative weight of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium in that fertilizer.
