What does KAINIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A mineral salt of magnesium and potassium found in salt deposits and spread on fields as a fertilizer.
Kainit is a natural mineral that forms where ancient seas dried up and left thick beds of salt, and the German deposits were the first to be mined on a large scale. Farmers ground it up and spread it on soil that lacked potassium, which crops need for healthy growth. The name is also spelled kainite, and agricultural handbooks of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries often recommend it for clover and potatoes.
