Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Increasing KCl rates harmed sugarcane juice quality once juice K exceeded 2000 mg L-1.
- Intervention effect K2SO4 treatments had less severe effects than KCl treatments.
- Method / resource Electrical conductivity was used to deduce sugarcane juice potassium concentration because it was easy to measure.
- Observation More than 60% of factory sugarcane juice samples had potassium above 2000 mg L-1.
- Association Sugarcane juice K had a significant negative association with sugarcane quality.
- Observation The authors infer that quality impairment likely occurs in actual sugarcane fields.
- Recommendation The authors recommend reducing potassium fertilizer dose when sugarcane juice K is high to improve quality and sugar yield.
