Potassium nitrate is a soluble source of two important plant nutrients. It is often used as a fertiliser for high-value crops that require nitrate feeding and a potassium source that is chloride free. It is also used in the production of fireworks and gunpowder. It's increasingly being used in food to preserve the quality of meat and cheese. To ease tooth sensitivity, speciality toothpaste frequently includes potassium nitrate.

Molecular Formulae- KNO3

Alternative Names- Saltpetre, Nitrate of potash

BENEFITS AND USES-

The pH of the soil is adjusted and regulated using potassium nitrate.
It is used to make fertilisers by giving potassium to crops, particularly those that cannot tolerate chloride ions.
It purifies glycerine, allowing it to be used in animal feed.
It is also used in herbicides and fungicides, and a mixture of phosphorous acid and KNO3 can be applied regularly to avoid pests and diseases.

HOW IT WORKS-

It works by adjusting the pH of the soil using its alkaline properties.
It also works as an important source of potassium for various crops.
