The objective of this study was to identify the K-bearing minerals as well as the granulometric fraction of the soil with potential to supply K to the plants from two basaltic Oxisols (Hapludox and Kandiudox). The mineralogical analyses of the granulometric fractions of the Hapludox soil revealed the probable occurrence of a mica mineral in the fine silt and coarse clay fractions, while feldspar minerals occurred in the sand, coarse silt, and fine silt fractions. In the Kandiudox soil, a […]
