Exchange equilibria of potassium in soils. II. Effect of farmyard manure on K‐Mg exchange

Abstract: Exchange behaviour of potassium versus magnesium was studied on surface soil samples of 3 Ustochrepts from a semiarid tropical region in relation to different levels of cattle farmyard manure (FYM, 0,2.5,5 and 10 %). Magnesium saturated soil samples were equilibrated with KCl + MgClz solutions having a range of equivalent ion fraction of K from 0 to 1 in the equilibrium solutions. The experimental results were analysed and interpreted, using different exchange selectivity quotients and thermodynamic parameters… Show more

“…The small Kv values are in accordance with the results reported for soils containing large amounts of organic matter and noncrystalline aluminum silicates (Goulding 1983). The relatively large Kv values at small EK values may also be attributed to the presence of organic matter and noncrystalline aluminum silicate because soil organic matter, in some soils, contributed positively to the K selectivity (Poonia et al 1986;Poonia and Niederbudde 1990) and because some noncrystalline aluminum silicates having high silica contents exhibited a high K-selectivity (Perrott 1981). Since In Kv decreased quite linearly as EK increased in the relatively small EK range of 0 to 0.1, we used the following equation:…”

“…In contrast, the plots under NK + PM and NPK + RS treatments showed the great accumulation of exchangeable K in surface layers, possibly because of the increase in the sorption of K following continuous addition pig manure and rice straw, increase in the proportion of K specific internal exchange sites to K nonspecific external exchange sites, and increase in soil surface charge density (Poonia et al, 1986;Subba et al, 1993;Shi et al, 1994). The application of pig manure and rice straw increased the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil (Liao et al, 2009b), which might have resulted in increased exchangeable K utilization by rice crops .…”

“…In contrast, the plots under NPK + FYM treatment showed the maximum accumulation of exchangeable K in surface layers, possibly because of the increased sorption of K following continuous addition of FYM, an increase in the proportion of K specific internal to K nonspecific external exchange sites, and overall increase in soil surface charge density (Poonia et al, 1986;Mehta et al, 1988;Subba Rao et al, 1993). FYM increased the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil (Bhattacharyya et al, unpublished data), which might have resulted in increased exchangeable K utilization by crops (Blake et al, 1999).…”
