Out of forty eight composite samples analyzed for available potassium 34 samples (71%) were found satisfactory (80-150 mg k kg-1 soil) level while 14 samples (29%) had adequate (greater than 150 mg k kg-1 soil) level. The maximum potassium content (230 mg k kg-1 soil) were recorded in Bardiana site while minimum potassium (100 mg k kg-1 soil) were recorded in Gojra Badahna site.
