Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted to observe the response of wheat to K application in six soil series. Five levels of K (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg K20 Kg' soil were applied to each series alongwith a basal dose of N and P. Potassium application @ 100 mg KM kg' soil produced highest number of tillers plant1 (6.33), plant height (57,4 cm) and straw yield (15.99 g poc') whereas, highest grain yield (14.15 g pot') was recorded at 75 mg KiO kg' of soil. Highest K content of grain (0.4980%) and straw (1.5X3%) and K uptake (299.40 mg pot') were noted where K was applied @ 100 mg KM kg' of sail. It was inferred that 50 mg K,0 kg' (110 kg KiO ha') was sufficient for optimum yield of wheat.
