Abstract

On sandy soil of low K availability, permanent pasture cut 5 times during the year received up to 200 kg/ha K2O as 40% KC1 before or after one of the cuts. The effect of K fertilizing in autumn depended largely on K withdrawal with previous cuts. K uptake was not determined by growth. Except for the first cut K uptake was greater than that needed for reasonable growth. No effect of temperature on K response was found. The best treatment was 200 kg/ha K2O applied in spring.
