General comment Potash is a type of high-potassium fertilizer that includes water-soluble potassium from mined and/or manufactured sources. It commonly contains potassium carbonate and potassium chloride. It is a potassium-rich salt that is formed in underground deposits from evaporated seabeds, where it is then mined.
