摘要
The investigation was carried out to study the response of winter rapeseed to potassium （K） feritlization and the critical soil available K level for current winter rapeseed production in the Yangtze River Valley （YRV） of China. A total of 132 field experiments were conducted in fields of farmers in the major winter rapeseed growing areas in YRV in 2000/2001 and 2004/2005 to 2006/2007 during growing season. Results of these field experiments showed that the average rapeseed yield increment resulting from 100 kg K ha-1 application was 358 kg ha-1, an increase over the control CK （no K） of 18.0% in 2005/2006 and 2006/2007. The average internal use efficiency （IE） of K was higher in the CK treatment （21.9 kg grain, kg-1 K uptake） than in the ＋K （100 kg K ha-1） treatment （17.7 kg grain, kg-1 K uptake）. Winter rapeseed required 68.1 kg of K to produce 1 000 kg seed. The recovery efficiency of K fertilizer in rapeseed production averaged 39.3%. The K balance was negative, with an average net removal of 117.6 kg K ha-1 in the CK treatment annually, and 56.8 kg K ha-1 in the ＋K treatment. The results indicated that there was a significant negative relationship between yield increments by K application and soil available K content. Based on the relative yield of CK/＋K at 90% level, the critical level of soil available K （NH4OAc-extractable K） was 135 mg kg-1.
