Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum MILL.cv. Ogatazuiko) plants were grown is the nutrient solution at five levels of potassium (1-16me/l) which were adjusted by addition of K₂SO₄. Leaf and stemgrowth at 1me K was largly restricted and K deficiency symptoms was observed. However, there were no significant differences in vegetative growth in the rang 2-16me K.K content of the leaves increased with the increment of K in the nutrient solution but there was no significant differences in N content of the leaves.
The result obtained here demonstrated that 4-16me K is thought to be suitable for stabilized fruit production.
