*This plot does not have a video.
The plan for the plot is to track potassium levels in the plant throughout the year utilizing our Extractor Tissue sampling program. In over 5000 tissue samples collected across the southeast, we have found potassium to be low/deficient in 68% of tissue samples pulled in cotton. The results we are looking for are to maintain sufficient or higher potassium levels throughout the year while maximizing yield and ROI.
