Pendahuluan
K is the third most likely element after nitrogen
and phosphorus to limit plant productivity.
Biasanya diaplikasikan sebagai pupuk
K ada dalam larutan tanah sebagai kation K
+
K tidak membentuk gas yang hilang ke udara
Its behavior in soil is influenced more by
cation exchange reactions than by
microbiological processes
K tidak menyebabkan pencemaran lingkungan
eksternal
K tidak toksik dan tidak menyebabkan
problematik eutrofikasi

K dalam nutrisi tanaman dan hewan
Potassium activates many enzymes in
plants and animals that are responsible
for energy metabolism, photosynthesis
and other processes
As a component of the cytoplasm of plant
cells, it helps to lower cellular osmotic
water potential thereby increasing the
ability of root cells to take up water.
K sangat penting untuk fiksasi nitrogen pada legume
Kecukupan K telah terbukti membantu tanaman
beradaptasi terhadap cekaman lingkungan
In animals including humans, K is important in
regulating the nervous system and maintenance of
good blood vessels.

K dalam nutrisi tanaman dan hewan
Gejala Defisiensi K
Mengurangi kemampuan tanaman untuk
beradaptasi terhadap cekamam lingkungan
mis. Kekeringan, Genangan banjir, dll.
Pucuk dan tepian daun menguning (chlorosis)
dan kemudian mati (nekrosis).
In some crops, K deficiency produces white
necrotic spots that looks like insect damage.
Siklus K
Sumber Original K adalah mineral primer
Mineral Mica (biotite dan muscuvite)
Potassium feldspar (orthoclase dan microcline)
Potassium is released from the minerals during
the weathering process
When available for plant uptake, it is taken up by
plants in large quantities
SUMBER: myspace.aamu.edu/users/monday.mbila/soils/SPS251Lecture15.ppt
Dalam ekosistem alamiah, K is returned to
the soil by rainwater leaching of foliage and
by plant residue or as waste from animals
that feed on plant
Potassium is lost by soil erosion and runoff,
and leaching to the groundwater
Most potassium in agricultural ecosystems
are lost through removal of crops and crop
residues from soil

Bentuk-bentuk K dalam tanah
Empat bentuk K dalam tanah adalah:
–
K dalam struktur mineral primer
–
K dalam posisi tidak dapat ditukar dalam mineral
sekunder
–
K in exchangeable form on soil colloid surfaces
–
K ions larut dalam air
Total K in soil and its distribution as shown in
the K-cycle is a function of the clay minerals
present in soil

Faktor Ketersediaan K dalam tanah
1. Tipe Koloid Tanah
Ability of various colloids to fix K varies (2:1)
2. Pembasahan & Pengeringan Tanah
Physically affects the structure of colloids
3. Pembekuan & Pencairan Tanah
Physically affects the structure of colloids
4. Kemasaman tanah (pH)
High pH increases the fixation of K because of less H

Problem K dalam Kesuburan Tanah
The main problem with managing soil K is that of
converting the unavailable forms of the element
to available forms
Available K is usually supplemented by fertilization
Another problem is removing a lot of crops from
the soil without returning the crop residues
Attempts should be made to return as much residue as
possible for the natural plant-soil cycling of K to
continue

Pengelolaan Kalium
Growing high K content plants places demand on the
soil supply of potassium
To have high yields of such crops, e.g., alfalfa, it needs to planned in
advance to supply soil with enough K to last the cropping season –
fertilization
Pemupukan dengan dosis ringan dan sering ternyata
lebih baik daripada dosis tinggi sekali aplikasi, hal ini
dapat mengurangi konsumsi mewah K
Pengapuran tanah ternyata meningkatkan retensi K
dalam atanah.

Kalium Tanah
Faktor penyerapan K oleh tanaman:
1. Kandungan Oksigen Tanah – oxygen is necessary for
proper root function, including uptake of potassium
2. Air tanah - the more moisture found in the soil, the
easier it is for plants to absorb potassium.
3. Olah-tanah – research has shown that regularly tilled
soil allows for better potassium uptake.
4. Suhu Tanah – 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal
soil temperature range for root activity and most of
the physiological processes in plants. The lower the
temperature, the slower absorption becomes.
