uses

Electrolyte in a salt bridge
The active ingredient of condensed aerosol fire suppression systems. When burned with the free radicals of a fire's flame, it produces potassium carbonate.
Works as an aluminum cleaner.
Component (usually about 98%) of some tree stump removal products. It accelerates the natural decomposition of the stump by supplying nitrogen for the fungi attacking the wood of the stump.
In heat treatment of metals as a medium temperature molten salt bath, usually in combination with sodium nitrite. A similar bath is used to produce a durable blue/black finish typically seen on firearms. Its oxidizing quality, water solubility, and low cost make it an ideal short-term rust inhibitor.

To induce flowering of mango trees in the Philippines.
The thermal storage medium in power generation systems. Sodium and potassium nitrate salts are stored in a molten state with the solar energy collected by the heliostats at the Gemasolar Thermosolar Plant. Ternary salts, with the addition of calcium nitrate or lithium nitrate, have been found to improve the heat storage capacity of the molten salts.
As a source of potassium ions for exchange with sodium ions in the chemically strengthened glass.
As an oxidizer in model rocket fuel called Rocket candy.

Fertilizer

Potassium nitrate is used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen and potassium – two of the macronutrients for plants. When used by itself, it has an NPK rating of 13-0PharmacologyUsed in some toothpaste for sensitive teeth.Recently, the use of potassium nitrate in toothpaste for treating sensitive teeth has increased and it may be an effective treatment.
Used historically to treat asthma. Used in some toothpaste to relieve asthma symptoms.
Used in Thailand as the main ingredient in kidney tablets to relieve the symptoms of cystitis, pyelitis, and urethritis.
