What is a Potassium Sulfate (K₂SO₄)?

Potassium Sulfate (K₂SO₄) is an inorganic compound composed of potassium (K) and sulfate (SO₄²⁻). It typically appears as a white or colorless crystalline solid or powder and is highly soluble in water. It is primarily used as a fertilizer, particularly for plants that require potassium, and plays a significant role in agriculture. Potassium sulfate is widely used in the agricultural industry as a potassium fertilizer to promote plant growth. Potassium is an essential nutrient for plants, helping with root development, enhancing disease resistance, and ensuring the production of high-quality crops. It is especially important for the production of fruits and vegetables.

In addition, potassium sulfate contains sulfur, which helps to adjust the pH of the soil, making it effective for crop cultivation in acidic soils. Potassium sulfate is also used in the chemical industry, including in the production of synthetic detergents, glass products, and other chemicals.
