Plant Potassium Element Determination Service

Plant Potassium Elements Determination

Potassium is one of the most abundant inorganic elements in plants. Potassium is not a component of molecular or macromolecular plant structures, it mainly exists in the plant tissues in the form of ionic or soluble potassium salt. Potassium has high content and wide distribution in plants. In almost all cases, crops contain far more potassium than other nutrients, including nitrogen. It plays important role in several physiological functions, such as promoting enzymes activation, controlling cellular growth and wood formation, enhancing photosynthetic assimilation, promoting the synthesis and transport of nutrient and metabolite, and enhancing plant resistance against drought, cold, saline-alkali, and pest stresses. Therefore, the determination of potassium is essential in the study of plant growth, metabolism, nutrition, and so on.

STEMart is able to efficiently and accurately determine the content of potassium elements in plant samples.
