“…It is well established in the recent literature (Das et al 2019;Islam et al 2017;Jalali 2007;Khan et al 2014;Moody and Bell 2006) that K fertilization management based on NH 4 OAc soil testing procedure often fails in predicting the exact amounts of K that have to be added, in order to replenish exhausted soil K pools and to increase crop yields to desired levels. The latter becomes even more important for soils that contain significant amounts of 2:1 fixing clay minerals like illite or vermiculite which is a common soil clay assemblage alongside with smectites in temperate soils like Greece (Velde, 2001), or for soils under intensive cropping.…”

“…The above consideration is also reported in literature especially through quantity-intensity studies which support that there is a minimum K status in Kdeficient soils in which K ions are retained by the soil and do not exchange with Ca 2+ , despite their extraction by NH 4 OAc (Schneider 1997a, b). This portion of soil K may represent the amount of K ions fixed on some clay interlayer sites (Das et al 2019;Islam et al 2017), and thus, it could be said that it corresponds to a fraction of exchangeable K which is largely unavailable to plants.…”

“…Therefore, the quantification of available K contents of soils with respect to the contribution of both exchangeable and non-exchangeable K, in conjunction with the study of possible relationships between them and the respective modification of clay minerals, could become an essential K management tool (Li et al 2017). The above becomes even more important for soils under intensive cropping, which are expected to have higher fixation capacities and therefore, conventional extraction methods like ammonium acetate (NH 4 OAc) are proven inadequate in explaining K availability (Das 2019;Islam et al 2017;Jalali 2007). In soils like the above, the contribution of non-exchangeable K on K availability due to low levels of exchangeable K (Hinsinger 2002), as well as a possible vermiculitization effect which could result in high K-fixing properties (Hinsinger and Jaillard 1993), should be taken under consideration.…”

The objective of this study was to elucidate how changes on illite K and vermiculite content affect cation exchange capacity (CEC) and K availability and to evaluate the ability of different extraction methods to predict respective soil K fixation and release capacities. A greenhouse pot experiment with winter wheat was conducted on K-deficient soils with different K application rates and soil K was extracted with ammonium acetate (NH 4 OAc) and sodium tetraphenylboron (NaBPh 4). Illite K and vermiculite contents were determined and a modified Mitscherlich equation was applied to predict critical levels of K availability with respect to a minimum soil K status which could be considered as a constrain fixation factor (z factor). The study showed that z factor was strongly correlated with NaBPh 4-K of K-deficient soils (r = 0.97). In addition, illite K and vermiculite content satisfactorily predicted both the saturation ratio of NH 4 OAc-K (KSR) (r 2 = 0.83) and K buffering properties of K-deficient soils (r 2 = 0.75), while illite K alone well predicted available NaBPh 4-extracted K (r 2 = 0.78). Finally, strong correlations were found between critical levels of K addition and K availability of NaBPh 4-K (r = 0.92). The study suggests that potassium-fixing clay minerals can predict K availability of K-deficient soils, while CEC found to improve the above relationships. Furthermore, the amount of K that represents a minimum K status (z factor) consists of both exchangeable and non-exchangeable K, documenting the superiority of NaBPh 4 over the conventional method of NH 4 OAc in predicting fixation capacities.

“…Con respecto al K, de acuerdo a Das et al (2019), este elemento es requerido por los cultivos casi en las mismas proporciones o en algunos casos mayor que el N; no obstante, la mayoría de los agricultores solo aplican N, o N y P sin considerar o solo agregando cantidades pequeñas de fertilizante potásico. Esto concuerda con los resultados en los Cuadros 2, 3 y 4, con bajos contenidos de K y elevadas concentraciones de P. Con relación a sitios de pH ácido, Legesse et al (2017) mencionan que la acidif icación del suelo resulta en la def iciencia de nutrientes, entre ellos el K. Diversos estudios han demostrado que la disponibilidad de K es menor en suelos ácidos (Zhang et al, 2009), lo cual reduce el rendimiento de los cultivos.…”

El área agrícola de la cuenca del río San Pedro en Nayarit es una llanura costera con suelos de origen aluvial, sometidos a inundación, deposición y a diferentes procesos que controlan el aporte de nutrientes y la fertilidad del suelo. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar las propiedades de los suelos para diagnosticar la fertilidad y determinar el índice de calidad del suelo, tomando como parámetros pH, MO, N, P, K, CIC, Ca y Mg. Se realizaron muestreos a 30 cm de profundidad en 38 sitios en junio de 2017 y en 45 en 2018. Se midió pH, CE, textura, Da, CO, MO, N inorgánico, P, CIC y bases intercambiables. Los valores promedio, máximo y mínimo fueron pH 5.78, 8.15 y 3.28; MO 1.58, 3.02 y 0.65%; N inorgánico 22.5, 43.6 y 3.5 mg kg-1; P Olsen 32.5, 67.4 y 1.4 mg kg‑1; K 0.45, 0.80 y 0.10 cmolc kg-1, respectivamente. La CE promedio fue 1.39 dS m-1 e indica que no existen problemas de salinidad. El 73% de los sitios fueron de textura arenosa a franco. El índice de calidad del suelo (SQI por su nombre en inglés) indica que la cuenca tiene un nivel de fertilidad medio, SQI promedio de 0.64; el 17% de los sitios tuvieron una fertilidad baja con pH entre 3.28-5.40, MO 0.81-1.20%, N 10-20 y P 5-10 mg kg-1; 42% media, pH 6.41-7.30, MO 2.01‑2.50, N 40-60 y P 15-20 mg kg-1; 36% moderadamente alta, y 5% alta con pH 8.20-8.80, MO 3.01-4.00, N 100-150 y P 25-35 mg kg-1. La distribución del SQI demuestra que en la llanura superior los suelos son de fertilidad baja a media, en la llanura intermedia y baja son de fertilidad media a alta, y en las partes de menor altura, la fertilidad está limitada por la interacción entre el sistema continental y el marino que salinizan los suelos.

National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) databases are important for quantifying and mapping the contribution of atmospheric deposition to soil provisioning ecosystem services. These databases provide information about the atmospheric deposition of potassium (K +) which is an essential element and component of many fertilizing materials. Atmospheric deposition flows (wet, dry, and total) serve as one input of K + to soils; however, deposition varies spatially across the United States (U.S.). This study ranked an estimated provisioning value of soil ecosystem services due to atmospheric K + deposition within the contiguous U.S. by state and region based on the 16-year period from 2000 to 2015. The total provisioning ecosystem value of atmospheric potassium deposition was over $406M
