Studies of potassium (K) fixation in the soil were conducted by evaluating the effect of applied K on the extractability of K with time. A series of five K-sorption treatment solutions, 0.11, 0.22, 0.45, 0.90, and 1.80 cmol/kg were prepared and applied as potassium chloride (KC1) to three sets of...

Fixation of potassium in some soils of the subhumid zone of Nigeria
The fast depletion of available potassium (K) in soils of the subhumid zone (SHZ) of Nigeria has become a problem for the formulation of fertilizer recommendations, especially in the grass/legume mixtures of the fodder bank system. Five different K fertilizer recommendation models viz. Control, C...

Potassium requirements of a grass/legume pasture established on selected soils of the subhumid zone of Nigeria
Twenty surface soils (0 to 15 cm), selected to represent a wide range of available potassium (K) status and three different land-use systems (fodder bank, continously fertilized cropped land and fallow land) across the subhumid zone of Nigeria, were used for the investigation. Laboratory and gree...
