The effects of potassium chloride and potassium sulphate on the volatilization of ammonia from acidic clayloam and tidal sandy clay loam soils applied with urea under flooded conditions were studied in a laboratory experiment. Results obtained were as follows; 1. The application of potassium to the acidic soil promoted the volatilization of ammonia through increasing soil pH. 2. The application of potassium to urea treated on the tidal soil which lead pH over 8.0 under flooded reduced conditions decreased the wet soil pH and reduced the volatilization of ammonia from the soil. These effects of potassium were more pronounced in the potassium sulphate treatment than in the potassium chloride. 3. More ammonia was volatilized from the acidic soil applied with potassium sulphate, however, the effects of potassium fertilizers applied to the high pH tidal soil seemed to be masked by high salt content of the soil. 4. Urea brought up soil pH significantly. Potassium sulphate was more effective than potassium chloride in raising pH of the acidic soil, though the reverse could be true in the tidal soil with high pH. The reduction of sulphate might be a major cause for the pH change.

The experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the effect of a compound fertilizer for application of potato plants (Sumi) which were prepared by the Kyonggj Chemical LTD. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Comparing with the plot of 12kg/10a muriate of potash plot, the potato yield of compound fertilizer, double rate of potassium sulfate and normal rate of potassium sulfate plots were increased in order to 44%, 7% and 6% respectively. The yield of potato at the compound fertilizer were significantly higher than that of double rate of potassium sulfate, but the latter yield was lower that of control. 2. The yield of potato were to exeeding of final tuber on June 25, which was twelve day earlier than the actual harvest the application of the compound fertilizer may make possible to harvest potato eariler than normal season and benefit fammers which better economic return. 3. Manufacturing it with granular form at diammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate as majour source materials and having little urea contents, the compound fertilizer raised higher the emergence rate of potato plant than the other fertilizer were promoted the early plant growth, and kept potato plants comparatively healthier than the other fertilizer even at later stage of plant growth.

An experiment on strawberry (Fragaria Grandflora EHRH) was conducted in order to compare the effect of two compound fertilizers made for this crop, by Kyonggi Chemical Crop. LTD. with that of muriate of potash, sulfate of potash and ammonium nitrate in a farmer's vinylhouse during the winter period of 1984 to 1985. Results obtained are as follows; 1. The effect of compound fertilizers on the growth, number of inflorescences and yield of strawberry showed no significant difference from the effect of muriate of potash, sulfate of potash and ammonium nitrate. But the former increased the content of reduced, and total sugars soluble in diluted acid in the juice of strawberry. 2. As a whole, sulfate of potash increased sugar content in strawberry juice more than muriate of potash, which became the reason to increase the sugar content in the strawberry juice harvested from the compound fertilizer plots.

In order to confirm the effect of potash top dressing and to observe the effect of N, K compound fertilizers, 17-0-17, 17-0-14, and 15-0-20, specially prepared for top dressing to rice, a field experiment with rice (Oryza Sativa L., Akibare) was conducted in a poorly drained paddy field in comparison with potassium chloride. The results obtained are as follows, 1. The effect of potash top dressing to rice was so remarkable that the yield from the plots of split application of muliate potassium or compound fertilizer was significantly higher than that from the plot received no potash at all. In contrast, the plots received all the amount of potash as one dose at transplanting time showed no significant increase in yield compared with that of potash plot. 2, The effect of N, K compound fertilizer, granulated to about the size of a small bean appeared to be so slow that it gave little increase of yield when it was appiled as a top dressing at the primodial stage, but it gave an increase of yield when it was top dressed at effective tillering stage. 3, Granular N, K compound fertilizer to be top dressed at primodial stage might be prepared in small size so that the fertilizer readily go into solution when it was applied, otherwise the fertilizer should be applied eariler than the primodial stage.

Silver nanoparticles have been used in agricultural practice because of their biocide effect. However, limited information is available for the effect of silver nanoparticles on soil quality. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to evaluate effect of silver nanoparticle application on soil especially when fertilizer is applied. To simulate potassium fertilizer, potassium chloride was mixed with silver nanoparticles in soil. Concentration of silver and chloride was measured and result showed that concentration of both compounds was decreased at the range of $3.4mg\;kg^{-1}$ and 78-84% respectively after treatment. In addition, analysis of microbial population after treatment showed that microbial population was increased when silver nanoparticles and KCl were mixed. Those results indicated that application of fertilizer has impact on biocide effect of silver nanoparticles in soil.

A field experiment was conducted in order to secure the basic information on the rational application of nitrogen and potassium for autumn growing Chinese cabbage (Brassica campastris ssp. pekinensis, var.; Miho 70 days). The results of the experiment are summarized as follows: 1. Potassium effect was observed where nitrogen applied either less than 15kg N/10a and heavy dose of 25kg N/10a. No potassium effect was observed where 20kg N/10a applied. In the case of 25kg N/10a, potassium effect was observed only in total weight but failed yield marketable product weighing over 1 kilogram per cabbage. 2. Nitrogen application, in general, tends to lower the soil pH and it is particularly true when heavy dose of over 20kg N/10a is applied. As a result, Chinese cabbage has increasingly removed soil born potassium and reduced exchangeable potassium content of the soil. 3. Oven dried cabbage which received 25kg N/10a plus potassium showed a low concentration of calcium and this phenomena seems to be attributable to the acidification of soils and it further caused failure in producing cabbages of marketing value.

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of nitrogen and potassium sources on growth and yield of strawberry 'Seolhyang' and 'Maehyang' in fertigation culture. The plant fresh and dry weight were higher in urea + potassium sulfate and ammonium sulfate + potassium sulfate as nitrogen and potassium sources than others in both varieties. But there were no significant difference among nitrogen and potassium sources in other growth characteristics, such as plant height, no. of leaf, crown diameter etc. Also, the marketable yield of fruit were higher in urea + potassium sulfate and ammonium sulfate + potassium sulfate in 'Seolhyang' than other treatments. 'Maehyang' was better in both treatments but there was no significant difference. The fruit qualities, such as total soluble solid, hardness, acidity, vitamin C content were not significant difference among the treatments. The acidity of soil was tended to decrease but EC was tended to increase highly in ammonium sulfate treatments as a nitrogen source. As above results, the urea and potassium sulfate were recommended as nitrogen and potassium sources for the fertigation culture of strawberry 'Seolhyang' and 'Maehyang'.
