What is the effect of potassium supplementation on sesame

(Agricultural Wealth Network) Potassium is mainly present in sesame leaves and stems, with leaves accounting for 45.4% of the total and stems accounting for 41.2% of the total. Potassium can promote photosynthesis, accelerate the synthesis and transport of carbohydrates, and promote the absorption of nitrogen. When potassium supply is sufficient, sesame stems are strong, which can improve lodging resistance and disease resistance. When potassium fertilizer is insufficient, the plant's photosynthesis is weakened, growth is inhibited, and yellow and purple spots appear at the tips of the lower leaves, causing yield reduction.
