RELEASE OF NONEXCHANGEABLE POTASSIUM FROM DIFFERENT SIZE FRACTIONS OF2 HIGHLY K-FERTILIZED SOILS IN THE RHIZOSPHERE OF RAPE (BRASSICA-NAPUS CV DRAKKAR)
Jf. Niebes et al., RELEASE OF NONEXCHANGEABLE POTASSIUM FROM DIFFERENT SIZE FRACTIONS OF2 HIGHLY K-FERTILIZED SOILS IN THE RHIZOSPHERE OF RAPE (BRASSICA-NAPUS CV DRAKKAR), Plant and soil, 156, 1993, pp. 403-406
The release of nonexchangeable potassium by the different particle siz
e fractions of two soils was studied with a culture device designed to
confine soil samples in the rhizosphere of rape (Brassica napus cv Dr
akkar). After 8 days of cropping, the contribution of nonexchangeable
K to K uptake ranged from 50% in the fine clay to 80-100% in the coars
er fractions. Due to their high supplying power and their relative abu
ndance, the silt fractions provided a major part of the supply of K by
these soils.
