This book covers the use and dynamics of potassium fertilizers in
agriculture. It explores potassium dynamics in soil,
phytoavailability, uptake and translocation in crop plants, impact
of potassium fertilizers on quality of agricultural produce.
Potassium is an essential plant nutrient that has long been
overlooked in agriculture of many developing countries. In most of
the agro-ecosystems of such countries, potassium balance is
negative because its application seldom matches with crop removal.
Agro-technicians lack enough skills and resources to promote the
right source of fertilizer at the right rate, time and place to
facilitate profitable farming. There is a need for farmers to
update their farming practices so as to improve the crop yield and
quality under unfavorable climatic conditions. Correct application
of potassium fertilizers is directly linked with increased crop
yield per unit land area in most of the developing countries.
Therefore this book fills the gap in the information and provide
the readers with latest updates on use of potassium fertilizers.
This book contains latest information relevant for graduate
students, progressive farmers, extension worker, early career
researchers, and policy makers.
