Potassium demands of individual plant species and genotypes are different. Vegetables are mostly regarded as potassium-loving plant species, which is why their optimal supply is very important.

The large number of species with specific demands for mineral nutrition, combined with many different production systems, is what makes vegetable production so specific.

Additionally, vegetable production is one of the most intensive branches of plant production. Vegetables are used for different processed products, and with high contents of nutrients and protective agents they are very important for human nutrition.

All this combined means vegetables very important in the total food production, and are of great economic value, prompting the decision to publish this book looking at vegetable nutrition with potassium.
