Abstrakt: A brief review shows that application of K fertilizer to cereal crops grown on soils of Western Siberia can contribute to 20 to 30% yield increases. Field experiments conducted in 'cereals-fodder crop' systems suggest a trend towards higher yields due to K application in both first spring wheat or spring barley crops. A significant yield response to K was obtained for second spring wheat and forage crops of maize or oat-pea mixes. Significant increases in carrot and potato yields were observed within the 'vegetable-potato' cropping system even at the lowest K rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
