The objective of this talk is to present information on the yield response of cotton to varying potassium application timing (2 years) and rates (6 years), as well as associated potassium levels in soils. The soil at this location is mapped as a Memphis silt loam. Untreated check plots have not received potassium fertilizer for the last 7 years.
