Studies on the effect of K fertilizers application in increasing water use efficiency (WUE) and decreasing the negative effect of water stress, are quite limited, especially under field conditions. A field experiment was conducted in silty clay loam in the Agricultural Research Station of Abu-Graib-Baghdad, Iraq to study the effect of different levels of K fertilizers application on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.( and their role in decreasing negative effect of water stress.Treatments include four levels of K fertilizer (0, 200, 400 and 600 kg K 2 SO 4 ha -1 ) and two levels of irrigation (after depletion of 50 and 75 % of available water). Results revealed the following:-* Prof. Soil Sci. Dept. -Coll. of Agric. -Univ. of Baghdad -Iraq. ** Assoc. Prof. Soil Sci. Dept. -Coll. of Agric. -Univ. of Baghdad -Iraq.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
