Question
Its me again!
How does potassium cyanide affects the uptake of ions in plants.
And how could you plan an experiment show how potassium inhibits ion uptake.  

Answer
I have never carried out an experiment using KCN on plants so I do not know what it does but it cannot be good. and I suggest that you do not carry out in projects using cyanide.  It is too dangerous.
 You can design an experiment using fertilizers containing K.
