Zameer Khan Sagheer Ahmad Khurram Bashir 5200215A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of K application on Shujabad and Missa soil series on six wheat cultivars. Nitrogen and P were applied @150 mg N and 75 mg P2O5 kg-1 with two levels of K (0 and 150 mg K2O kg-1) as muriate of potash. Relatively large quantities of shoot biomass were produced in Missa than Shujabad soil. Irrespective of soils and cultivars, the application of K increased shoot biomass of all the cultivars except NR-37. In Shujabad soil, Rawal-87 and in Missa soil Inqlab-91 had higher nitrogen while Sariab-92 and Chakwal-86 the minimum on Shujabad and Missa soils, respectively. The potassium contents of all the wheat cultivars increased with the addition of K fertilizer. Maximum K was found in Chakwal-86 while minimum in Sarib-92. It was observed that Sariab-92 had much less Cl¯ content than the other cultivars, however its biomass increased with MOP application as compared to control whereas NR-37 had the maximum Cl¯ contents. Nitrogen, P, Mg and S in most of the cultivars decreased over the control. The results showed that the behavior of wheat cultivars and their response to K application differed on two soils.]]>Anonymous,1976Anonymous,19541954Bhargava, P.N., H.C. Jain and A.K.
