Until recently, potassium (K) has not received considerable attention because of the general
belief that soils contain ample amounts of this element. In addition, low rates of K fertilizer …

Providing the world's population with sufficient and nutritious food through sustainable food
systems is a major challenge of the twenty-first century. Fertilizer use is a major driver of crop …

This book deals with the concentrations and transformations of nutrient elements in soils,
grassland plants and ruminants, particularly sheep and cattle. Data are restricted to those …

Apart from two major components nitrogen and phosphorous, potassium is the third

Plants modify the nitrogen (N) cycle in soil through plant N uptake, root exudation, and
nitrification inhibition resulting from root exudates and changes to the physicochemical …

Out of 81 isolated bacteria from salt pan of CSIR-CSMCRI's experimental salt farm with
salinity range from 10 to 24 Be′, one of the promising bacterial strain identified as …

Southern China's paddy soils are poor in potassium (K) and rich in iron (Fe) and aluminum
(Al) oxides, both of which are affected by fertilizer application. However, the response of soil …

Potassium (K) deficiency is widespread in crops on highly weathered upland soils under a
tropical monsoonal climate. Critical assessment of the forms of K in soils and of the ability of …
