Potassium’s contribution to sustaining high yielding crops with top quality is well understood. However, the role of potassium in plant stress resistance is less known and appreciated. Potassium is unique am Read More 22 Nov 2016 Frontiers of Potassium Conference - Crop Quality Potassium plays a vital role for supporting the quality of agricultural products. Although the term quality” can have many definitions, K is intricately involved with many plant processes that determine the quality of the final harvest. When K is in short supply, photosynthesis, respiration, suga Read More 28 Oct 2016 Frontiers of Potassium Conference - Human Health Potassium is known as a shortfall nutrient” for humans because large numbers of people do not receive an adequate supply in their food. For example, only 3% of Americans consume adequate K to meet recommended levels of intake. Nutrient-fortified foods do not have K added and most highly refined f Read More 04 Oct 2016 Frontiers of Potassium Conference - Right Placement Potassium (K) fertilizer is applied in many ways. It may be broadcast or sprayed on the soil surface then either worked in or not with tillage implements, placed below the soil surface at various depths and distances from plants, or sprayed on crop leaves. The right” placement depends upon many f Read More 06 Sep 2016 Frontiers of Potassium Conference - Right Time An important session during the upcoming Frontiers of Potassium Science Conference will focus on the right time to apply K fertilizer. The timing of K fertilizer has not been widely studied. Most often, a larger, basal application is made to meet the needs of one or more crops, but is this the mos Read More 11 Aug 2016 Frontiers of Potassium Conference - Right Rate An important theme of the upcoming Frontiers of Potassium Science is selecting the right application rate of Potassium (K) fertilizer. This topic is too frequently overlooked as other plant nutrients often have more serious potential environmental impacts and economic priorities.

This website remains online to provide a repository of past IPNI publications. Questions about past IPNI operations and projects can be forwarded to the International Fertilizer Association, The Fertilizer Institute, or Fertilizer Canada. IPNI’s Mission The mission of IPNI is to develop and promote scientific information about the responsible management of plant nutrition for the benefit of the human family. IPNI is a global organization with initiatives addressing the world’s growing need for food, fuel, fiber and feed. There is widespread concern for issues such as climate change and relationship of crop production to the environment and ecosystems, and IPNI programs are achieving positive results. Best management practices (BMPs) for nutrient stewardship encourage the concept of applying the right product (source), at the right rate, at the right time, and in the right place.
