[QUOTE="N.Yorks., post: 7615121, member: 46426"] You'll need to put yourself a nutrient management plan together...... as we all have to now because of the Farming Rules for Water and going forward will be linked to the SFI payments I think! You'll want to build the K index steadily over time, so for the next three/four years apply K (in whatever form) in line with the desired output of the grass. So for example, if you're just grazing - the annual amount of K applied will be less than a field where you're taking two cuts of silage off. The annual amount required to support output also needs an amount extra to support the build up of K in the soil so that you get to index 2-. You'll not fix it in one season, building indices will take a while, but you don't have to accept reduced yields in the meantime - just have to match output with input and an amount on top for building soil index.
