Abstract
Abstract A major limitation to improved crop growth on many acid Oxisols is low K availability. A field experiment was conducted in West Sumatra to study the effects of K fertilization of an oxisol under three levels of lime (0.375, 2.25 an 5 t ha −1 ) on K accumulation of a yearly upland rice ( Oryza sativa L.)‐soybean ( Glycine max L. Merr.) rotation where all above‐ground residue was removed. Six K treatments supplied 0 to 240 kg K ha −1 to each crop and lime treatment. Potassium fertilization increased grain yields of rice and soybean and K content of grain and stover of both crops. With both crops a large proportion of the K was present in the stover. Liming had no effect on K accumulation Of rice grain; an inconsistent effect on K accumulation in rice straw; and significantly increased the K content of soybean grain and stover. Upland rice was very efficient in utilizing K applied to that crop as well as residual soil K from previous fertilization. When K rate was greater than 100 kg ha −1 per crop appreciable amounts of K could not be accounted for indicating that the K was lost by leaching. Increases in exchangeable K with K fertilization only occurred in the 0‐ to 30‐cm depth.
