Potassium dihydrogen  ortho phosphate

Potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate KH2PO4cap K cap H sub 2 cap P cap O sub 4 𝐾𝐻2𝑃𝑂4) is used in tissue culture to help plants grow and regenerate. It’s also known as monobasic potassium phosphate (MKP) or potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP).

How it’s used

• Growth regulator: Potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate is a growth regulator that helps explants divide and regenerate.
• Buffering agent: It can help keep the pH low, which reduces the amount of ammonia that escapes.
• Source of potassium and phosphorus: It provides plants with potassium and phosphorus.
