Eight surface soil samples (0-30 cm) were selected from some newly reclaimed soils at Kom Ombo and Halaib & Shalateen areas, Upper Egypt, Egypt to identify K status and free energy of extracted K amounts. The obtained data reveal that the amounts of soluble and exchangeable K ranged between 0.006-0.286 and 0.12-1.65 m molc/100 g soil, respectively. Also, the corresponding K amounts take place a similar parallel trend to each of soil salinity level and the content of clay fraction, respectively. The CaCl2 extractable K contents from the soil samples under consideration ranged between 0.39-0.13 and 0.05-0.02 me/100 g soil at the first and last extractions, respectively. These obtained data show a greater depletion between the fine and coarse textured soils. In addition, free energy values (Δ F) of K extractions were calculated, and the obtained results indicate that the released K amounts from the studied soils are insufficient to cover K requirements for grown plants, and in turn these soils are in need to be fertilized with K, particularly upon the prevailing extensive cropping patterns.
