Potassium Nitrate
Potassium nitrate (KNO₃) is a naturally occurring salt with surprising versatility. In agriculture, it’s a valuable source of potassium (K) and nitrogen (N) for plants, boosting crop quality and yield. Its water solubility ensures easy nutrient uptake.
Beyond agriculture, potassium nitrate has a rich history as a food preservative and component of early gunpowder. Today, it finds uses in glassmaking, metalworking, and even some pyrotechnics.
