Cholinga chachikulu chimagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri pamakampani opanga zinthu. Ndizofunikira zopangira mchere wa potaziyamu kapena alkalis, monga potaziyamu hydroxide, potaziyamu sulphate, potaziyamu nitrate, potaziyamu chlorate, ndi potaziyamu alum. M'makampani opanga mankhwala, amagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati diuretic komanso mankhwala oletsa komanso kuchiza kuchepa kwa potaziyamu. Makampani opanga utoto amagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga mchere wa G, utoto wotakasuka, ndi zina zambiri. Agriculture ndi mtundu wa feteleza wa potashi. Mphamvu yake ya fetereza imathamanga, ndipo itha kugwiritsidwa ntchito molunjika kuminda yolima kuti ichulukitse chinyezi m'nthaka ndikukhazikika kwa chilala. Komabe, siyabwino kugwiritsidwa ntchito munthaka yamchere ndi fodya, mbatata, beet shuga ndi mbewu zina. Potaziyamu mankhwala enaake ali ndi kukoma kofanana ndi sodium chloride (kuwawa), ndipo amagwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati chowonjezera pamchere wambiri wa sodium kapena madzi amchere. Kuphatikiza apo, imagwiritsidwanso ntchito popanga chopanikiza kapena chopanikiza lawi, chopangira chithandizo chazitsulo, komanso kujambula. Itha kugwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati mankhwala, kugwiritsa ntchito sayansi, kukonza chakudya, ndi mankhwala enaake a potaziyamu atha kusinthidwa ndi sodium chloride mu tebulo mchere kuti muchepetse kuthamanga kwa magazi. [6] Potaziyamu mankhwala enaake amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri pamagetsi azamankhwala. Ili ndi zotsatira zenizeni zamankhwala ndipo imagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri m'madipatimenti osiyanasiyana azachipatala.
