Potassium release kinetics in soils of a long-term fertilizer experiment

Potassium release kinetics was investigated in soils drawn from plots of a long term fertilizer experiment that had been receiving different rates of K. Non exchangeable K release was higher in soils that were receiving organic and inorganic fertilizers than the soils not dressed with K. The amount of non exchangeable K release was faster initially and it slowed down afterwards.
