Abstract
Cotton and peanut are commonly grown in rotation for two reasons, cotton requires high fertility, and peanuts are susceptible to diseases which cannot survive on cotton. The objectives of these two studies were to determine if banding K2O closer to the rooting zone of cotton could potentially decrease the amount of potash required to decrease costs, and to determine varietal susceptibility of peanut to early and late leaf spot and southern blight. Application rates of K2O were determined based on soil tests with a full rate being 90 Kg ha-1 and a half rate being 45 Kg ha-1 banded and broadcast to four varieties of cotton commonly grown in the southeast. Peanut analyzed six varieties in both years that are commonly grown across the southeast as well as new and experimental varieties.
