Greenhouse and laboratory experiments were conducted to characterize the K supply and nonexchangeable K release kinetics in calcareous soils. Twelve soils were exhaustively cropped with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in the greenhouse for 584 d [day] (16 cuttings). Yield, K uptake, and changes in NH4OAc [ammonium acetate] exchangeable K were monitored. Ca resin extractable K was determined in the laboratory (7000 h extraction) on the < 0.25 mm fraction of each soil. Nonexchangeable K release was calculated from the greenhouse and laboratory data. Cumulative K release to Ca-resin was mathematically described by a power function equation and the empirical constants related to alfalfa yield, K uptake, and exchangeable K levels. Clay soils had a long-term supply of plant available K while light-textured soils did not. After 16 cuttings the exchangeable K levels in the clay, loam and sand textured soils declined 44, 33 and 58%, respectively. Both independent methods of measuring nonexchangeable K release were highly correlated with each other (r = 0.91). K release was also highly correlated to initial NH4OAc-K and to cumulative or relative K uptake and yield. Intercept and slope constants of the power function kinetic equation were significantly correlated to alfalfa yield, K uptake, and initial exchangeable K. The NH4OAc-K soil test was an adequate measure of long-term K supply in these soils.
