Cotton gets a kick

Article Abstract:

High yields of cotton require a proper potassium program. Research has shown that the cotton plant is very sensitive to low available soil potassium. Potassium-deficient cotton has been shown to lose more yield than other crops grown on the same tract. A cotton plant during boll development may use up potassium at a rate of 2 to 3 pounds/A/day.
