ABSTRACT Early potassium fertilization in previous crops may be beneficial to the main crop in succession. The objective of this study was to investigate the behavior of the soybean crop as a function of potassium (K) doses in the previous crops, associated or not with K application in soybean. The experiment was carried out from 2012 to 2015 in an experimental area of the Faculty of Engineering, UNESP, Campus of Ilha Solteira-SP, located in Selvíria-MS, Brazil. For the previous crops, a randomized block design was used in a 3 x 4 factorial scheme with four replications, i.e., three previous crops (maize, sorghum and millet) and four K doses (0, 35, 70 and 120 kg ha-1 of K2O). For soybean in succession, a randomized complete block design was used in the... |
