The role and significance of potassium in plant growth: A comprehensive study

Abstract
The present study discusses the importance of potassium as a key plant nutrient and problems associated with excess and/or deficiencies of potassium in the plant. The availability of potassium to the plant is highly variable, due to complex soil dynamics, which are strongly influenced by root–soil interactions. Many plant physiologists consider potassium second only to nitrogen in importance for plant growth. Potassium is second to nitrogen in plant tissue levels with ranges of 1 to 3% by weight. Potassium is vital to many plant processes, its functions are discussed elaborately. Potassium deficiency symptoms are mentioned with examples.
