Spatial variability of soil potassium and its relationship to land use and parent material

Abstract: Information on the spatial distribution of plant nutrients is a prerequisite to predict their behaviour and to monitor the fertility in a watershed. This study was conducted to evaluate variations of plant available potassium (PAK) and non-exchangeable potassium (NEK) of a watershed with different land use and parent materials. Eight hundred soil samples were taken from 0-30 and 30-60 cm depths across the Kazova watershed of 20 656 ha in size. Average PAK was 152.8 mg/K kg in surface layers and 167.2 mg/kg in … Show more

“…Often, K availability is more dependent on its concentration relative to Ca and Mg than on the total quantity of K present in the soil solution. The levels of K in solution, as well as the release of K, are dependent on the concentrations of Ca and Mg in soil solution (Akbas et al, 2017). Except exchangeable Ca, there was no significant (P>0.05) difference in CEC, exchangeable Mg and K between slope positions.…”

“…The increased input of OM increases the soil cationic exchange capacity, which can reduce the leaching rate of positively charged nutrients like Ca 2+ , potassium (K + ), and magnesium (Mg 2 + ) (Mbah, 2008). However, the leaching of soil K through irrigation water, limited recycling of crop residue, continuous cropping, and soil erosion have contributed to the depletion of basic cations on agricultural lands compared to agroforestry and grasslands (Akbas, Gunal, & Acir, 2017;Lechisa, Achalu, & Alemayehu, 2014;Srivastava, Johansen, Neupane, & Joshi, 2005). Interestingly, several places in Chaulahi village within the study area had high OM but were recorded with low K value, which could be due to the high erosion losses at those sites, which were alongside riverbanks.…”

“…Уміст калію в ґрунті залежить від наявності первинних і вторинних мінералів, хімічного складу материнської породи, а на його трансформацію істотно впливають вміст гумусу, реакція ґрунтового розчину та погодно-кліматичні умови (Akbas et al 2017;Vorobiev et al, 2017;Harsha & Jagadeesh, 2017).…”
