Potassium can be really helpful in plant growth and reproduction. This type of fertilizer is also great for soil that has low chlorine (Cl) content. By having just the right amount of chlorine content in the soil, the crops will be resistant to disease.

Potassium chloride is used to prevent or to treat low blood levels of potassium(hypokalemia). Potassium levels can be low as a result of a disease or from taking certain medicines, or after a prolonged illness with diarrhea or vomiting.
