Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Potassium source had no significant effect on kiwifruit yield.
- Intervention effect Combined K2SO4 and KCl treatment gave a slight increase in yield and economic gain compared with single fertiliser treatment.
- Intervention effect Basal K2SO4 with KCl topdressing raised single fruit weight by 7.0% compared with K2SO4 alone.
- Intervention effect Basal K2SO4 with KCl topdressing raised vitamin C content by 4.6% compared with K2SO4 alone.
- Intervention effect Basal K2SO4 with KCl topdressing raised single fruit weight by 3.1% compared with KCl alone.
- Intervention effect Basal K2SO4 with KCl topdressing raised vitamin C content by 14.9% compared with KCl alone.
- Observation No significant difference in sulphate or chloride ion content was found between potassium sources in the surface soil.
- Intervention effect Chloride ion content in deeper soil was highest after KCl treatment.
- Intervention effect Sulphate ion content in deeper soil was highest after K2SO4 topdressing.
- Recommendation Basal K2SO4 followed by KCl topdressing is the most appropriate potassium source for kiwifruit production in the study region.
