Potassium management in rice-maize systems in South Asia by Timsina, Jagadish, Kumar Singh, Vinod, Majumdar, Kaushik

“…Potassium (K) availability in soils is largely governed by their mineralogical composition. The extent of weathering of primary K‐bearing minerals, the chemical pathways through which weathering takes place, as well as the dynamic equilibrium between various K fractions in soils are factors which determine different soil types of varying K‐supplying capacity. …”
