46 Potassium management strategies Efficient use all kinds K resources: organic fertilizers, crop straw (52% of K input, only 1/3 of crop straw returned back soils) Balanced fertilization with N, P and other nutrients K splits (soil texture-sandy soil, right time, right placedeep fertilization) to avoid leaching Other K resources: irrigation water, rainfall Sensitive crops preference: tobacco, banana Application of K under BMP of other practices
