2024 Abstract - IMPROVING POTASSIUM MANAGEMENT IN COTTON PRODUCTION: Cotton is widely cultivated on arable soils with limited potassium (K) availability and K loss by runoff is currently a challenge for profitable cotton production. In this presentation, details about cotton K deficiency, tissue-K concentration and yield responses to K fertilization will be discussed. Understanding crop responses to K nutrition is substantial in diagnosing deficiencies and developing efficient fertilization practices.
