Brief Project Summary:

Potassium is a mineral that is often deficient in Kansas soils. This study is directed at developing information on the scope of the problems and solutions needed to maximize soybean yields in Kansas. This project was initiated in 2009 on cooperating farmer's fields in Southeast Kansas. The initial project plan involved establishing K response trials with soybeans on soils varying in K soil test levels and monitoring soybean response to applied K in the year the plot was established. In addition, K soil tests for the control and highest applied rate of K were monitored regularly from initial site selection to date.
