Yield, Fiber Quality and Potassium Content of Irrigated Cotton Plants as Affected by Rates of Potassium1

O. L. Bennett2, R. D. Rouse2, D. A. Ashley2 and B. D. Doss2

Synopsis: Potassium applications increased yield of seed cotton, size of bolls, and fiber micronaire values, but decreased lint percentage. K content of plants increased in proportion to .rate of K applied. Old leaves plus petioles gave the best indication of the K status of the plant. Fiber quality was best at lower rates of K.
