Fig. 1. Mean K extracted by 0.01 M SrCl2, 1 M NH4OAc, Mehlich 3, Morgan, and 1:5 H2O, from a calcareous sand rootzone at Ithaca, NY, to which six rates of K fertilizer were applied from 2002 to 2004.

Fig. 2. Precipitation and irrigation from June 2002 through May 2004 at the test site in Ithaca, NY. Thirty-year precipitation averages (1971–2000) are shown for comparison.

Fig. 3. Relationship between K application rate to a calcareous sand putting green at Ithaca, NY, and the associated creeping bentgrass leaf tissue K content at 15 sampling events from 2002 to 2004.

Fig. 4. The effect of creeping bentgrass leaf N content on corresponding leaf K content. Data shown are from a calcareous sand putting green at Ithaca, NY, with leaf samples collected on 28 July and 22 Sept. 2002 and 27 July and 16 Nov. 2003.

Fig. 5. Relationship between K extracted from a calcareous sand putting at Ithaca, NY, and corresponding creeping bentgrass leaf K content. Data are from soil and leaf samples collected on 28 July and 22 Sept. 2002 and 27 July and 16 Nov. 2003. Results for five different soil extraction procedures are shown. Upper plots show the relationship between extracted soil K and leaf tissue dry weight K content. The lower plots keep extracted soil K the same, but express the leaf tissue K as a percentage of the sum of positive charge from leaf nonacid cations.
