Page 1 of 3

A greater proportion of potassium (K) accumulates in the vegetative parts of a mature plants. Potassium is highly mobile in the soil and is readily leached from stubble and during the breakdown of organic matter - unless crops are cut for hay, or the stubble is burnt or harvested for feed prior to K leaching.
