Abstract
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.
