We all know this but what we cant figure out is why we&#8217;ve been having Potassium problems here recently. We had a good bit of rain this year so that could be one theory however Potassium isn&#8217;t as mobile as Nitrogen and we seemed to do well with our Nitrogen levels. Dr. Glenn Harris has a theory that elevated Calcium levels are reducing Potassium uptake. People are pushing pH levels higher which usually results in higher Calcium levels. It&#8217;s a pretty sound theory. Until we get it figured out here are a few things we can do to help alleviate our Potassium problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Soil Sample<\/strong>-Make sure you&#8217;re getting the right amount out there.<\/li><li><strong>Don&#8217;t split<\/strong>-Put it all out at planting, do not split the Potash applications.<\/li><li><strong>Foliar<\/strong>-Two rounds of K2O, (5-10lbs) during early bloom (1st-4th week of bloom). <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No matter how timely you are with scouting and spraying your cotton, if your N, P, and K aren&#8217;t right then you cant maximize the potential of the plant.
