Effect of potash on yield and quality of apple trees in Shaanxi province, 1997
Separate demonstration fields emphasizing P and K use in apples and kiwi were also set up in the region to compare balanced fertilization to traditional farmer practice. Differences in yield between the two practices were not remarkable due to the use of large amounts of manure, plant stalks that could be recycled at their origin, and some use of crop-specific fertilizers containing high K and micronutrient quantities.
