ABSTRACT

The effect of land use types on forms of potassium in sortie selected sites in South East, Nigeria were studied in the Soil Science laboratory of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture ,Umudike. The land use types studied were mixed farming land, sole cassava land, secondary forest site, permanent pasture site, oil palm plantation ,quarry site , fish pond site and refuse dump site. The forms of potassium determined on the microprocessor flame photometer were water soluble potassium , exchangeable potassium, potassium reserve and potassium supplying power. The data collected were subjected to Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for completely randomized design (CRD) while its differences between means were separated by Fishers least significant differcnce (F-LSD) at 5% significant level. The results showed that refuse dump site(RDS) had the highest significant(p value of 1 .25cmolkg and 0.95cmo1kg 1of Exchangeable K. Also, quarry site (QS) at the depth of 0-20cm and secondary forest site(SFS) at 20-40cm soil depth significantly(pto 14.83crno1kg' among the location. Farmers should be encouraged to use refuse materials as a source of potassium when the materials have been recycled into fertilizers.
