Abstract

Highlights: [•] We investigated the long term effects of K application on K use and soil status. [•] K increased grain yield, but this effect decreased with excessive application. [•] Returned straw, deep soil K utilization, weathering soil K pools may alleviate soil K deficits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
