Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Potassium fertilizer did not increase cane yield across locations and soil types.
- Intervention effect At the high potassium rate, soil potassium increased by 30% in the second ratoon crop.
- Intervention effect At the high potassium rate, plant potassium increased by 10.5% in the second ratoon crop.
- Recommendation The authors suggest repeated recommended potassium applications may be required for benefits in Louisiana sugarcane soils, pending on-farm verification.
