Abstract: The status of total K,rapidly available K and slowly available K contents in five conventional organic fertilizers,e.g.,cattle manure,pig manure,chicken manure,crop residue and green manure,as potassium sources were reported in this paper.And the effects of the mentioned K resources on K supplying capability of soil and crop were studied.The following conclusions were developed from the obtained results.(1) The 5 kinds of K sources contented 0.85%~4.50% of total K,among which 32.7~69.7% was rapidly available K,1.7%~25.0% was slowly available K.(2)After 150 days of culturing,50%~80% of the rapidly and slowly available K still existed in the soil as the two forms,but the rapidly available K proportion decreased evidently and the slowly available K proportion increased significantly,and their extent was related to the K source kinds and soil types.(3)All kinds of mentioned organic fertilizer increased the dry weight and absorbed amount of K of corn seedling.(4)The effect on K supplying of organic fertilizer was more clearly related to soil slowly available K.

Key words: Manure, Crop residue, Green manure, Potassium content status, Potassium supply capability
