Abstract
Plant-available soil potassium resources are an important factor of sugar beet plants growth over the whole vegetative season. In the K-responsive sites positive relationships were found between yield and the sum of soil available potassium as determined by the Egner-Riehm procedure, and added K-fertilizer. The coefficient of determination — R2 for this relationship, amounting to 0,41, was significant. For the K-non-responsive sites this relationship was not significant. In order to determine the critical soil K level the Cate-Nelson scatter diagram was developed. The found K critical level, irrespective of a site responsiveness to K-fertilizer, amounted to 190 mg K/1 kg of soil. In both groups of sites 4 sub-groups were distinquished. The most numerous was the subgroup I representing sites of the highest probability of response to increase of soil available K, and also to a K-fertilizer applied. Both the main groups differed by the 3rd subgroup containing sites with high content of plant available K, but still responsive to the K application. In this subgroup no sites were found of the main K-non-responsive group.
