The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Physiology of Potassium in Crop Production (2014, background): “…was sufficient (Sen Gupta et al., 1989) and similar results were also obtained from mung beans (Vigna radiata L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) (Sangakkara et al., 2000) leading researchers to suggest that modification of K plant concentrations can maintain CO2 assimilation rates by regulating…”
FOLIAR APPLICATION OF POTASSIUM UNDER WATER DEFICIT CONDITIONS IMPROVED THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF WHEAT ( TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) (2012, background): “In legumes damaging effects of drought can be diminished by ample K supply (Sangakkara et al., 2000).”
Drought and warming induced changes in P and K concentration and accumulation in plant biomass and soil in a Mediterranean shrubland (2008, background): “K accumulation in stems might be an adaptation mechanism to reduce water stress by raising leaf water potentials and plant water retention capacity, leading to a greater capacity for photosynthesis (Sangakkara et al. 2000).”
Role of Mineral Nutrition in Alleviation of Drought Stress in Plants (2011, background): “Alleviation of detrimental effects of drought stress, especially on photosynthesis, by sufficient K supply has also been shown in legumes (Sangakkara et al., 2000).”
