Potassium Phosphate

Description

Potassium phosphate is an inorganic compound that exists in several forms, including monopotassium phosphate (KH₂PO₄), dipotassium phosphate (K₂HPO₄), and tripotassium phosphate (K₃PO₄). It is a white, water-soluble salt commonly used in agriculture as a fertilizer to provide essential phosphorus and potassium for plant growth. In addition to its role in agriculture, potassium phosphate serves as a buffering agent, nutrient supplement, and stabilizer in food products, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. It is valued for its ability to maintain pH levels and enhance the solubility of minerals.
