Potassium chloride, often referred to as muriate of potash, is a vital potassium source for fertilizers. It is primarily used in agriculture to enhance crop yield and quality. Its high solubility ensures easy application through irrigation systems. Apart from agriculture, potassium chloride finds use in the food industry as a salt substitute and in the chemical industry for producing other potassium-based compounds. It also plays a role in medical applications, such as treating potassium deficiency.
