Ongoing soil potassium depletion under intensive cropping in India and probable mitigation strategies. A review Agron. Sustain. Dev. (IF 5.832) Pub Date : 2022-01-13 Das, Debarup, Sahoo, Jyotirmaya, Raza, Md Basit, Barman, Mandira, Das, Ruma
Potassium (K) is essential for plant growth and vital for soil health. However, despite high crop demand, K fertilization continues to be ignored or severely inadequate in Indian agriculture. Over time, this could lead to severe depletion of soil K reserve, irreversibly alter K-bearing minerals, and adversely affect soil fertility and crop productivity. Hence, we should comprehensively assess the alarming
