Late season potassium (K) deficiency has been observed quite frequently for cotton crops in the Brazilian cerrado region. One possible reason for such a problem could be the low water availability at this period of the season. Thus, an experiment was conducted in order to quantify the relative contribution of mass flow and diffusion in supplying K to cotton roots, as affected by soil water and K availability. The arable layer of a typic Red Latosol (Haplortox), with 630 mg […]
