Potassium is a critical macronutrient for the cultivation of industrial hemp [1], with its fertilization effects [2] and impact on fiber quality [3] being key areas of study. Furthermore, the plant's uptake of potassium is essential for its development and the synthesis of cellulose and hemicellulose during maturity [4].

claimScientific conclusions regarding the effects of potassium and phosphorus fertilization on industrial hemp are mixed.
claimThe quality and yield of industrial hemp bast fiber are affected more by potassium than by phosphorus.
claimThe key macronutrients required for growing industrial hemp are nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, according to Wylie et al. (2021).
claimPotassium uptake in industrial hemp increases with plant maturity, with the highest uptake occurring during the development stage of bast fibers, which causes significant increases in cellulose and hemicellulose content.
