“…Total potassium content was only half in soils grown with Kadali variety with AA genome compared to the soils grown with triploid AAA varieties of Robusta, Dwarf Cavendish. 17 Among the diploid banana varieties, potassium uptake was greater in Kunnan with AB genome than Anaikomban with AA genome. 1 Safet Velchi variety under AB group is supposed to possess 50% each of acuminata and balbisiana genomes but actually possessed a large segment (7 Mb) of pure AA at distal region of chromosome 6.…”

“…Varietal differences are observed for leaf traits 16 and nutrient uptake especially for potassium. 1,17 Cultivars with a high proportion of balbisiana genomes, such as ABB or BB groups, are known to possess greater ability for potassium uptake 1 and tolerance to salinity (sodium chloride) stress. 18 Rapid estimation of tissue nutrients using ion specific electrodes (ion meters) allow for the handling of a large number of samples in a short time and hence are of great help in the decision making of nutrient management strategies, food product analyses and in phenomics investigations.…”

The current study describes novel and quick methods for the quantification of K + and Na + in banana leaves using Horiba Laqua twin ion meters. Foliar K + and Na + content measured by ion meter significantly correlated with standard test values by coefficients of 0.83 and 0.46, respectively. About 48 absorbance values associated with potassium concentrations at wave numbers (1581 to 1583 and 3194 to 3410 cm-1) and 15 sodium associated wave numbers (3773 to 3996 cm-1) predicted potassium and sodium content with regression coefficients of 0.999 and 0.588, respectively. K + and Na + cations of fresh leaves in seven banana varieties were quantified using ion meters and new information of differences in the foliar potassium and sodium contents was found between banana varieties within the AAB group. The Rasbali (Silk subgroup) variety possessed greater potassium (5413 mg/L) and sodium (188 mg/L) ions than Amti (Mysore subgroup).

In this study, the data of fertility indicators of soil samples (0–20 cm) in 1980s, 2000 and 2015 in Chenzhou city were used, and the soil integrated fertility index (IFI) was calculated. The results showed that the soil pH was decreased, total nitrogen (TN), organic matter (OM), available phosphorus (AP) and potassium (AK), exchangeable calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+) and available copper (Cu) contents were increased, total phosphorus (TP), available sulfur (S) and water-soluble chlorine (Cl−) contents were decreased, total potassium (TK), available boron (B), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) were decreased first and then increased. In 2015, most of the fields were higher in pH, OM, TN, AN, AK, Ca2+, Mg2+, S, Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn, suitable in B, but lower in TP, AP, TK, available molybdenum (Mo) and Cl−. Most of the fields were in the middle grade of IFI in 2000 and 2015, and the mean IFI increased from 0.492 to 0.556 from 2000 to 2015. Thus, for soil improvement, more attention should be paid to adjust soil pH, reduce the application of organic, nitrogen and calcium fertilizers, while increase the fertilizer application of other nutrients.
