Abstract
Field experiments were conducted in 2012, 2013, and 2014 near Murray, KY to evaluate response of dark fire-cured tobacco to potassium rate and application method. Treatments included 4 rates of potassium based on soil test K values with potassium sulfate (0–0–50) at 0%, 50%, 100%, and 150% of the recommended potassium rate in each year. All potassium treatments were either manually broadcast applied and incorporated 1 day prior to transplanting or manually band applied and incorporated 7 days after transplanting. Based on soil tests for the location of the 2012–13 tests, a higher rate of potassium fertilizer was recommended, compared to the 2014 location. Potassium rate and application method did not have a significant effect on yield components (lug, second, and leaf) in any year; however, there was a response in 2012–13 for total yield. Within the 100% recommended rate in 2012–13, broadcast (3,367 kg ha−1) application of potassium resulted in significantly higher yield than banded application (3,001 kg ...
期刊介绍:
Chinese Tobacco Science is an academic scientific journal (bimonthly) under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China, and sponsored by the Tobacco Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Qingzhou Tobacco Research Institute of China National Tobacco Corporation. It was founded in 1979 and is publicly distributed nationwide. The journal mainly publishes academic papers on scientific research results, new production technologies, and modern management in my country's tobacco science research and tobacco production technology. In addition, it also publishes forward-looking review articles in the field of tobacco research. There are columns such as tobacco genetics and breeding, cultivation technology, modulation and processing, physiology and biochemistry, plant protection, review or monograph, quality chemistry, etc.
