Long-term straw returning improve soil K balance and potassium supplying ability under rice and wheat cultivation

Abstract The aims of the present study were to provide scientific bases for rational use of crop straw to substitute chemical potassium (K) input. The effects of potassium fertilization and straw incorporation on soil K balance and K supplying in a long-term (14 years) field experiment. Five treatme...
