Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Potassium did not improve alfalfa relative feed value or quality.
- Intervention effect Potassium fertilization increased herbage K concentration and uptake.
- Association Each 100 kg ha −1 increase in available K index raised corn grain yield by 0.5 Mg ha −1 under carryover K alone.
- Association Each 100 kg ha −1 increase in available K index reduced corn stover yield by 0.4 Mg ha −1.
- Association Available K index did not affect corn silage yield under carryover alone.
- Intervention effect Additional K applied to corn increased stover yield by 10%.
- Intervention effect Additional K applied to corn increased silage yield by 8%.
- Recommendation Applying K to first-year corn rather than alfalfa may improve economic return on medium STK soils.
