Abstract

Morton et al. (2014) presented the results from two rates of potassium (K) pasture trials conducted on Pumice soils which commenced in spring 2009 and ran for 3 years. They reached a number of conclusions with respect to the management of potassium requirements on such soils, based on the soil Quick Test K (QTK) samples (0-75 mm) collected in spring and suggested that the results from these two sites were unique. While noting that soil samples were collected in the autumn, they did not include these data in their anaylsis and discussion of the results. This communication discusses the implications of this omission. Keywords: potassium, pasture, pumice, soil tests
