Potassium (K) is a macronutrient required by plants for energy production, enzyme
activation, formation of cell wall, production of protein, and photosynthesis. However, K in …

Potassium (K) is one of the essential nutrients required by crops in large quantities;
however, its use in agriculture by farmers is less than required in developing countries. This …

Soil acidity compromises agricultural output in tropical acid soils. Highly weathered tropical
acidic soils are characterized by low pH, organic matter, nutrient availability, but high …

Potassium (K) is a scarce agricultural chemical, which is being depleted from Nigerian soils
at a fast rate. There are no known resources in Nigeria and farmers depend on imported …

Highly weathered tropical acidic soils are characterized by low pH, low organic matter, and
aluminium and iron toxicity. These factors pose a challenge to achieving sustainable …

Modern intensive agriculture leads to significant decline in soil K status due to crop removal
without compensating through K fertilizer. Most of the K ores suitable for commercial K …

Soil acidification is an important cause of declining crop yields in many countries, including

A greenhouse study was conducted to compare chemical effects of wood ash and CaCO3
on the growth of rye grass (Lolium perenne L.) in three tropical acid soils (Kandiudult) …

Recently published assessments of nutrient budgets on a national basis have shown that K
deficits for developing countries are so substantial that a doubling of world production of …

Potassium (K) is one of the most abundant nutrient elements in soil and one that is required
in large amounts by plants. Of the huge amount of K in many soils only a fraction is available …
