Abstract:

Two field experiments were conducted at Saslu and Sothenhalli village of Dodballapur taluk, Bangalore rural district during Kharif 2014 and 2015 in low K soils with different sources and levels of K application. There was an increase in grain and stover yield with increase in levels of K application and significantly higher grain (77.45 q ha-1) and stover yield (116.38 q ha-1) was recorded in 125% K through potassium schoenite applied treatment. Similarly, higher agronomic efficiency of N (26.42 kg kg-1), P (52.84 kg kg-1) and K (79.25 kg kg-1), higher potassium recovery efficiency (172.94%) and higher nutrient requirement of N (1.63 kg q-1), P (0.38 kg q-1) and K (0.54 kg q-1) were recorded in 125% of K applied through potassium schoenite.


Keywords: Maize, Potassium schoenite, Potassium recovery efficiency, Agronomic efficiency
