This experiment was carried out to investigate the changes on nutrient uptake and yields of onion when it was applied with urea and ammonium sulfate as nitrogen fertilizer types; potassium chloride and potasssium sulfate as potassium fertilizer types and lime requirement and phosphorus absorption coefficient controlled 5% as soil improvement index. The variety of onion used was CheonJuHwang and the soil used was Yonggye series in the Jeonnam Muan area. The amounts of N, P and K uptake were higher in the mixed application plot of ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate than in the plot of urea or potassium chloride. The sulfate content of soil was higher in the period of plant growth than in the harvest stage. The sulfate content of plant was highest in the harvest stage and this content was higher in the stem and in the leaf than in the bulb. The sugar content of onion was 7.43~8.23 Brix content was higher in the large bulb than in the small bulb. The weight of dry matter and the rate of good quality were high in the mixed application plot of ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate, so the yield of onion was increased 2~6% compared with control.

The experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the effect of a compound fertilizer for application of potato plants (Sumi) which were prepared by the Kyonggj Chemical LTD. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Comparing with the plot of 12kg/10a muriate of potash plot, the potato yield of compound fertilizer, double rate of potassium sulfate and normal rate of potassium sulfate plots were increased in order to 44%, 7% and 6% respectively. The yield of potato at the compound fertilizer were significantly higher than that of double rate of potassium sulfate, but the latter yield was lower that of control. 2. The yield of potato were to exeeding of final tuber on June 25, which was twelve day earlier than the actual harvest the application of the compound fertilizer may make possible to harvest potato eariler than normal season and benefit fammers which better economic return. 3. Manufacturing it with granular form at diammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate as majour source materials and having little urea contents, the compound fertilizer raised higher the emergence rate of potato plant than the other fertilizer were promoted the early plant growth, and kept potato plants comparatively healthier than the other fertilizer even at later stage of plant growth.

These studies were carried out to investigate the effects of potassium salts on the changes of chemical properties in submerged soil. Rice plants were cultured in submerged soil using potassium salts. Obtained results were as follows. In the submerged soil cultured with rice plants the value of pH was higher in the potassium chloride plot than in the potassium sulfate plot. The leaching of cations such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and ammonium were higher in the potassium chloride plot than in the potassium sulfate plot. On the other hand, the leaching of phosphate ion was slightly higher in the potassium sulfate plot than in the potassium chloride plot. The leaching of iron was higher in the planted plot than in the non-planted plot, but that of silica was higher in the non-planted plot than in the planted plot. However, the leaching of iron and silica was not affected by potassium salts.

Yield response of tomato to nitrogen and potassium fertilizer and the balance of the two elements were determined in salt-accumulated greenhouse soil to improve the efficiency of fertilizer appiication. The response of tomato yield to nitrogen and potassium fertilizer application was not significant. The current parameters such as OM and $K/{\sqrt{Ca+Mg}}$ that were used to determine the level of nitrogen and potassium fertilizer in open field were not suitable in salt-accumulated greenhouse soil condition. The temporal and spatial distribution of $NO_3{^-}-N$showed the same pattern to those of $Cl^-$ ion that is non-reactive with soil, while the content of Ex. K was extraordinarily high in soil after harvesting of tomato, which had experienced relatively dry condition during harvesting time. The loss of $NO_3{^-}-N$ and Ex. K out of 28cm below the soil surface was 2~5 and 1.5~3.5 times greater than the amount of nitrogen and potassium uptake by the plant.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of reduced nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) fertigation as additional fertilizer on tomato yield and nutrient contents in excessively nutrients-accumulated soil. Shoot and root dry weights (DW), dry matter rate for shoot, root and fruit and number of fruit in both AF50 and AF100 (50 and 100% levels of additional fertilizer) treatments were increased in comparison with those in AF0 (0% level of additional fertilizer) treatment. In case of nutrient uptake by tomato, nitrogen, phosphorous (P) and potassium contents in all tomato parts (leaf, stem, root and fruit) in AF50 and AF100 treatment were lower than those in AF0 treatment. On the contrary, soluble sugar and starch contents in all tomato parts in AF50 and AF100 were higher than those in AF0 treatment. There were differences between AF0 and AF50 or AF100 in tomato growth, yield, nutrient level and contents of soluble sugar and starch. In contrast, the level and initiation point of fertigation did not significantly affect the parameters. Based on our results, the application of properly reduced level of additional fertilizer is possible to maintain the productivity of tomato and alleviate the nutrient accumulation in plastic film house soils.

Using radioactive $^{40}K$ in potassium, a study was conducted to evaluate the potassium supplying power of different soil types developed on different parent materials. A conversion factor based on two parameters namely $\frac{available\;K_{soil}}{total\;K_{soil}}$ and $\frac{K_{plant}}{K_{soil}}$ was developed and found to be closely related to plant response. According to this characterization soils derived from the various parent materials were ranked as basalt >Silla series>gneiss>porphyry>granite${\gg}$schist. From the point of view of potassium response as measured by yield as similar response pattern was observed. That is, soils derived from basalt to be most responsive as compared to the other soils. The variations among the soils may be accounted for to their potassium bearing mineralogical composition and their stability.

In order to investigate changes in rice yield and quality according to phosphate and potassium fertilization levels when nitrogen fertilizer was applied at 7 kg·10a^-1, a field experiment was conducted at National Institute of Crop Science of Korea in 2021. Three Korean rice varieties were grown in paddy fields, and phosphate and potassium fertilizer were treated at three levels(N-P-K 7-4.5-5.7 kg·10a^-1, 7-3-3 kg·10a^-1, 7-0-0 kg·10a^-1). When phosphate and potassium fertilizers were not treated, the yield of Ilpum and Chilbo was significantly reduced, and there was no significant difference in Hopyung. The head rice ratio was significantly lower in the untreated plot of Hopyung and Chilbo, but there was no significant difference in the Ilpum. Protein content was significantly decreased in the untreated plot of Chilbo, and there was no significant difference in other varieties. As a result of this study, it was confirmed that yield, head rice ratio, and protein content were lowered when phosphate and potassium fertilizers were not treated, and the degree of decrease was different depending on the variety.

A field experiment was conducted to find out the effects of nitrogen and potassium rates on the chemical constituents and physical properties of burley tobacco (1988； Burley 21. 1989； Burley 21 and KB 101) during successive two years. KB 101 was low in total nitrogen and total alkaloid contents and potassium/total nitrogen ratio of cured leaf. but high in the lightness, red and yellow color and filling power, comparing to Burley 21. The increasing rates of total nitrogen and total alkaloid contents were larger when nitrogen applied to 22.75kg/10a, but they were smaller when nitrogen applied above 22.75 kg/l0a. The potassium content, potassium/total nitrogen ratio, filling power and shatter resistance index of cured leaf were decreased by nitrogen fertilizer addition. The potassium content and shatter resistance index were increased by potassium fertilizer addition. The effect of nitrogen rate on the potassium/total nitrogen ratio of cured leaf was larger than the effect of potassium rate. When the nitrogen fertilizer being applied above 22.75 kg/l0a, there were no advantageous effects on the chemical and physical properties. It is considered to be sufficient that the potassium application is about 35.0 kg/l0a.
