Sodium salts fail to replace potash in Rhode Island soil tests
Rhode Island experiments since 1891 show sodium salts cannot replace potash. Spinach and lettuce yield sharply decline without potassium, unless lime or carbonate blends are used. In 1899 trials with about a dozen plants show spinach failures without lime, while full potassium rations yield far higher results than sodium salts. Fractional potassium with sodium boosts yields, but no clear benefit from sodium alone.
