An experiment was conducted in Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station (AHRS), Bavikere, Tarikere taluk during Kharif 2016 to evaluate the K uptake Pattern and availability of nutrients as affected by level and time of K application under drill sown and transplanted condition. The factors comprising of two methods of establishment (drill and transplanting), three levels of potassium application (25, and 50 kg ha1 ) and two different time of application of potassium (basal and split). The results revealed that basal application of potassium (50 kg ha-1 ) under transplanted condition registered higher K uptake at different growth stages and also lower available nutrients after the harvest of crop due to higher grain and straw yields. | Effect of levels and time of potassium application on potassium uptake pattern and nutrients status under drill sown and transplanted finger millet
