Soil potassium depletion poses threat to world food yields: Study
Recent research highlights the global threat of potassium deficiency in agricultural soils, impacting food security. The study suggests that more potassium is being removed than added to soils worldwide, leading to reduced crop yields. The researchers propose recommendations to address the issue, including assessing global potassium stocks, monitoring price fluctuations, and promoting sustainable potassium management practices.
