Optimizing agricultural fertilization [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2019
Plant Science Although potassium (K) is the seventh-most-abundant element in Earth's crust, mineable resources of bioavailable K are finite. Plants depend on K for growth and development, but most K in soil is inaccessible to them. Dhillon et al. calculated the K use efficiency for cereal crops worldwide over a 55-year span and found that yields in ...
