Other claims from this paper (14)
- Association The two cotton genotypes did not differ significantly in K uptake at both K levels.
- Association Genotype H103 had markedly higher root‐hair density than genotype L122 in the K 1 treatment.
- Association Neither root-hair density nor root-hair length was correlated with plant K uptake.
- Association Boll biomass of genotype H103 was significantly higher than that of genotype L122 in both treatments.
- Association K accumulation in bolls of genotype H103 was 39%–48% higher than in genotype L122.
- Association The litter index of genotype H103 was 14%–21% lower than that of genotype L122.
- Association The litter K-partitioning index of genotype H103 was 22%–27% lower than that of genotype L122.
- Association K-use efficiency of the total plant of genotype H103 was comparable with that of genotype L122 in both treatments.
- Association K-use efficiency in boll yield of genotype H103 was 24% higher than that of genotype L122 in K 0.
- Association K-use efficiency in boll yield of genotype H103 was 41% higher than that of genotype L122 in K 1.
- Association K-use efficiency of the total plant was positively correlated with BKPI.
- Association K-use efficiency of the total plant was negatively correlated with LKPI.
- Association K-use efficiency in boll yield was positively correlated with BKPI and boll-harvest index.
- Mechanism The difference in K-use efficiency is attributed to different patterns of biomass and K partitioning rather than to K uptake.
