The objectives of this study were to determine potassium release characteristics and the correlation of these characteristics with bean plant indices in surface soils of 15 calcareous soils. The kinetics of K release were determined by successive extraction with 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 in a period of 2-2017 h at 25+/-1 deg C. The results showed that the cumulative K release ranged from 111 to 411 mg/kg. A plot of cumulative amount of K released showed a discontinuity in slope at 168 h. Thus, two equations were applied to segments of the total reaction time (2 to 168 and 168 to 2017 h). The amounts of K released during 2-168 and 168-2017 h ranged from 55 to 299 and 44 to 119 mg/kg, respectively. Release kinetics of K conformed fairly well to parabolic diffusion, simplified Elovich and power function models in two segments. Potassium released after 2-168 and 168-2017 h and K release rate constants were significantly correlated with bean plant indices, while correlation between K extracted by using 1 mol/L NH4OAc and plant indices was not significant. The results of this research showed that information obtained from K release studies in laboratory and kinetics equation parameters can help to estimate the K supplying power of soils.
