Exploration of Responses to Potassium in Western Uruguay
Several regions of Uruguay has recently shown K deficiencies and responses. This project looks to determine the different areas with K deficiency, evaluate responses in the main field crops, and provide information on K soil testing.
IPNI-2007-URY-2
Field trials and field observations in 2005 have shown K deficiencies in corn and grain sorghum at western Uruguay areas. Read more
Interpretive Summary
This research is based on previous observations of potassium (K) deficiency and responses to K fertilization in field crops grown within the northwestern Uruguay region. Data from the initial field work, including 50 experiments under wheat, barley, maize, soybean, sunflower, and sorghum, indicated a critical soil K concentration of 0. 30 to 0. 40 cmol/kg i. e. , soil test K (STK) of 117 to 156 ppm .
