Potassium chloride is an essential fertilizer for plant growth. It is fast-acting, readily absorbed by the soil, and not easily lost. Applying appropriate amounts of potassium fertilizer can promote strong crop stems, prevent lodging, encourage flowering and fruiting, and enhance resistance to drought, cold, and pests. Therefore, it is of great significance for high agricultural yields. Germany used it as its primary potassium fertilizer as early as 1861 and maintained a long-term monopoly in its production. Potassium chloride is also a major agricultural potassium fertilizer in China. Due to its abundant mineral resources, simple production methods, high potassium content, and low cost, potassium chloride remains the world's most important potassium fertilizer, accounting for over 90% of global potassium fertilizer sales. Of this, 50% is applied directly, and the remainder is mainly used to manufacture compound fertilizers.
