- Intervention effect Foliar K acetate increased marketable tuber yield relative to pre-plant KCl in both years.
- Intervention effect K treatments showed no consistent impacts on measured potato growth traits.
- Observation The authors conclude that supplemental K acetate improves Mesa Russet tuber yield.
- Recommendation The authors call for research on the mechanism of K acetate yield gains.
