Agronomic evaluation of phosphate rock and slag on an upata acid soil in Bolivar State,Venezuela

Abstract

An agronomic evaluation of phosphate rock and slag on the acid soils of Upata, Bolivar State was conducted to measure their effect on the chemical properties of the soil and growth of Brachiaria decumbens. A field experiment was established using a split plot design with three replications. The treatments were, i) three sources of phosphate rock (Riecito and Lizardo of Falcon State and Monte Fresco of Tachira State) at four rates of P₂O₅/ha (0, 50, 100, and 200), ii) one source of high‐solubility P [triple superphosphate (TSP) at the same rates], and iii) three levels of calcium applied as basic slag from the Orinoco Steel Company (0, 300, and 600 kg Ca/ha). A basic fertilization was applied to all plots (217 kg/ha Urea, 50 kg/ha KCl, and 78 kg/ha magnesium sulphate). The pasture species used was Brachiaria decumbens. Pasture and soil samples were taken at 2, 3, 5, 7, 12, 14, 16, 17, 24, 27, and 31 months after planting. The pasture samples were analyzed for dry matter production (DM), and percentage content of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg). Soil samples were analyzed for pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and available calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). The relative agronomic effectiveness (RAE), calculated using the formula: RAE (%) = DM of the rock ‐ DM of the check plot/DM of TSP ‐ DM of check plot × 100 was applied for each harvest time. The best RAE values at each sampling time were obtained with the Monte Fresco phosphate rock at the rate of 200 kg P₂O₅/ha and 600 kg Ca/ha as slag. There was a tendency for the RAE value to improve with each sampling apparently due to the slow release of phosphorus from the phosphate rock and its residual effect. There are also values of RAE that show better dry matter production than the high soluble source of TSP.

Soil available P and Ca increased with phosphate rock and slag application from 5 and 200 mg/kg to 25 and 400 mg/kg, respectively, after 2.5 years of the experiment. Phosphorus uptake changed from 0.1% in the check plot, which is insufficent to supply the P requirement of grazing cattle in the tropics to a value higher than 0.2%, depending on the sampling time. Soil pH increased slightly from 5.2 to 5.6 with phosphate rock, and to 6.2 when basic slags were applied.     

Response of maize to nitrogen,phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers in the savanna zones of Nigeria

Abstract

Field trials were conducted for three years on the response of maize to nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilizers on Oyo Soil Series (Arenic Haplustalf) and Iregun series (Aquic Haplustalf) in the derived savanna and southern guinea savanna zones of Nigeria, respectively. Nitrogen fertilizer as granulated urea at rates 0–300 kg N/ha, P fertilizer as single superphosphate at rates 0–120 kg P/h, and K fertilizer as muriate of potash at rates 0–180 kg K/ha were used for the different nutrient combinations. The base rates for N, P, and K were 100 kg N/ha, 40 kg P/ha, and 60 kg K/ha, respectively. The results of the trials showed that annual application of the blanket recommended N, P, and K rates to maize grown under intensive land use system could not produce optimum yield. Fertilizer efficiency varied along with soil test values from year to year. The highest response by maize in these zones was to N, the optimum rate ranged from 50–100 kg N/ha. Application of high rates of P and K fertilizers on soils with fairly sufficient nutrient level showed no significant effect on maize yield. But when P and K were applied at low rates (20 kg P/ha and 30 kg K/ha), their contents in the leaf and maize yield, in most cases, increased significantly. The results, however, showed that N, P, and K recommendations for optimum maize yield in both zones are 50–100 kg N/ha, 20 kg P/ha, and 0–30 kg K/ha, respectively.     

Effect of seed‐placed fertilizer on the emergence (germination) of soybeans (Glycine max L.) and snapbeans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Abstract

Field trials were established on a loamy fine sand and a silt loam using snapbeans and soybeans as test crops, respectively. Row fertilizer was placed with the seed (seed‐placed). Treatments were arranged in a 3×3×3 factorial experiment, and N, P, and K were applied in all combinations at three rates (0, 3.4, and 6.8 kg/ha). Ammonium nitrate (AN), monoammonium phosphate (MAP), concentrated superphosphate (CSP) and potassium chloride (KCl) were used as sources of N, P and K. Additional treatments compared MAP with diammonium phosphate (DAP) and KCl with potassium nitrate (KNO₃).

The salt index of each treatment was inversely related to emergence, i.e. as the salt index increased, the emergence decreased. Level of N was more important than level of P or K in regards to reduction in emergence. Snapbeans grown on a loamy fine sand were extremely sensitive to damage from seed‐placed fertilizer, even at rates as low as 3.4 kg/ha of N, P or K. Soybeans planted on a silt loam soil were less sensitive than snapbeans planted on a loamy sand. The soybeans were able to tolerate up to 10.2 kg/ha of seed‐placed P plus K or 6.8 kg/ha of seed‐placed N plus P or N plus K without causing a significant delay in emergence.     

Chloride‐induced leaf breakdown in kiwifruit

The effects of several rates of KCl (0–1500 kg/ha) were compared with K₂SO₄ at the equivalent K rate as 1500 kg/ha KCl on five commercial orchards of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa [A. Chev] C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson var. deliciosa cv. Hayward). Leaf breakdown (marginal leaf scorch followed by necrosis and leaf drop) was induced by KCl application at four of the five sites. The symptoms developed at leaf Cl concentrations of 1.5% dry weight and the severity of symptoms increased with leaf Cl concentrations. At another site, a zero K treatment was compared to several rates of KCl (300–1500 kg/ha) and K₂SO₄ applied at equivalent rates of K in factorial combination with two N fertilizer rates. This site had received KCl and developed severe leaf breakdown in the previous season. Leaf Cl concentrations on the zero K and K₂SO₄ treatments were higher in this experiment (1.7–2.1% dry weight) than at the other five experimental sites (0.6–1.3%), and at this site mild leaf breakdown symptoms developed on these treatments. Leaf N concentrations were greater, while leaf Cl concentrations and the severity of symptoms were less at the higher N rate. At all of the experimental sites that developed leaf breakdown symptoms, the severity of symptoms increased with the rate of KCl application and were significantly correlated to leaf Cl concentrations but not other leaf nutrient concentrations.     

Effect of Sulfur and Boron Nutrition on Yield and Quality of Soybean (Glycine max L.) Grown in an Acid Soil

Soybean (Glycine max L.), being a leguminous oilseed crop, requires relatively higher amount of sulfur (S) and boron (B) for optimum yield and quality. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of S and B application on growth, yield, and quality of soybean, and to find out their optimum doses for the best crop performance in acidic soils of northeast India. The treatments comprised four levels of S (0, 20, 40, and 60 kg/ha) and four levels of B (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 kg/ha) in factorial combination. In general, application of S and B, either alone or in combination, significantly increased the growth, yield, and quality of soybean. When applied alone, S resulted in best yield (1767 kg/ha) at S₄₀, which was 21.2% higher than the yield at control (1458 kg/ha), while B produced maximum yield (1578 kg/ha) at B_1.5 (8.23% higher than control). Interestingly, 57.4% yield improvement over control was recorded with combined application of S₄₀ and B_1.5, which shows their synergistic effect on crop performance. Similarly, with concurrent application of S₄₀ and B_1.5, a 28% increase in protein and 33% increase in oil content of soybean were recorded relative to control. In general, S₄₀ + B_1.5 also resulted in the highest nutrient nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium sulfur, and boron (NPKSB) uptake by soybean. Based on these results, we recommend the conjunctive use of 40 kg S and 1.5 kg B/ha for the best yield and quality of soybean on acidic soils of northeast India and other regions with similar soils.     

Changes in Soil Phosphorus Fractions Resulting from Crop Residue Removal and Phosphorus Fertilizer

It is crucial to know how management factors influence soil test phosphorus (P) since non-point P sources for surface waters are becoming recognized as a problem throughout the USA. Phosphorus fertilizer and crop residue can impact the cycling of P in soils. An eight-year crop residue removal and P fertilization (0, 7.3, 14.7 and 29.4 kg P/ha) as triple superphosphate (TSP) experiment were conducted to determine the effect of P applications on soil P fractions. Significant differences in Bray-l extractable P were observed after only one year of P applications. Extractable P at the highest P rate was significantly higher than all the other rates. For each 5.6 kg P/ha added or removed, Bray-l P changed by 1 mg/kg. Fertilizer P applications did not significantly change the organic P (P_o) levels, microbial P (P_m) or soil pH, whereas residue treatments had effects on them except for soil pH. Residue-retained plots had significantly higher P_m in the last two years of study, and P_o in the 8^th year, compared with residue-removed plots.     

Effects of nutrients omission on maize growth and nutrient uptake in three dominant soil types of southwestern Nigeria

Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted to determine most limiting nutrients for maize performance using nutrient omission treatments in three soil types of southwestern Nigeria. There were six treatments; full nutrient [120?kg nitrogen (N)/ha, 40?kg phosphorus (P)/ha, 80?kg potassium (K)/ha, 10?kg molybdenum (Mo)/ha, and 5?kg zinc (Zn)/ha]; full nutrient minus N, P, K, Mo, and Zn including control was replicated thrice. Treatments were arranged as split plot in a complete randomized design. Data were collected on growth parameters, shoot, root dry weights, and NPK uptakes. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and means separated using LSD_0.05. Majeroku and Egbeda soils and full nutrient supported better maize growth and NPK uptakes. Shoot weight was higher in Egbeda while root weight was higher in Itagunmodi soil. Phosphorus was the most limiting in Egbeda and Itagunmodi soils, and nitrogen in Majeroku soil. In conclusion, maize growth, nutrient uptake and most limiting nutrient varied with soil types.     

秋延迟番茄氮、磷、钾优化施肥方案研究

采用三因子二次饱和D-最优设计(310),研究了氮、磷、钾配施对秋延迟番茄产量和品质的影响,并建立了以氮、磷、钾用量为变量因子,番茄产量和品质为目标函数的三元二次数学模型。通过对模型解析表明,氮、磷、钾对番茄产量和品质均有显著影响,且两两间存在显著的互作效应,但以钾肥对番茄产量、品质的影响较大。在低水平条件下,番茄产量、品质均随氮、磷、钾使用量的增加而提高;当氮、磷、钾用量过多,则导致产量、品质降低。通过计算机模拟运算得出,本试验条件下,番茄产量达140 t/hm2、品质综合评分达95分以上的施肥方案为N 520.2～758.4 kg/hm2、P2O5294.8～367.3 kg/hm2、K2O 1051.5～1299.8 kg/hm2,适宜的N、P2O5、K2O施用比例约为1∶0.52∶1.84。     

Sorghum and soybean response to natural and modified phosphate rock on acid soils in Venezuela

Abstract

An agronomic evaluation of phosphate rock (PR) on acid soils of Guarico and Anzoategui States was conducted to measure the effect on soil available phosphorus (P), grain yields of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], and P absorption by these crops. Field experiments were established using a complete randomized block design with three replications. The treatments used were: triple superphosphate (TSP), North Carolina phosphate rock (NCRPR), compacted NCRPR with TSP at 60–40% and 70–30% (NCRPR 60/40 NCRPR 70/30), compacted Venezuelan Monte Fresco phosphate rock 60–40% and 70–30% (MFPR 60/40, MFPR 70/30), finely ground Monte Fresco phosphate rock (MFPR), finely ground Navay phosphate rock (NPR), and a check plot with no P source added. Five rates were applied, 0, 50,100,150, and 200 P₂O₅/ha, broadcasted and incorporated prior to planting. A basic fertilization of N, K, S, Mg, and Zn was uniformly applied to ensure an adequate supply of these nutrients. Soybean seeds were inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Soil samples were taken before planting and at harvest, and plant samples taken at critical growth stage (flowering) for tissue analysis, Crop grain yields were measured at 12% moisture content. The relative agronomic effectiveness (RAE) was calculted by the formula: RAE (%( = Yield of the rock ? Yield of check plot/Yield of TSP ? Yield of check plot × 100 Maximum yields in all cases were obtained with TSP, however, in most cases there were no statistically significant differences between TSP and NCRPR as received or compacted (60/40 and 70/30). The compacted Venezuelan phosphate rocks also gave significantly higher yield and RAE responses showing the potential of these P sources for annual crops in the country. The finely ground Venezuelan phosphate rocks increased yields and RAE as compared to the check plot, but they gave the lowest response of all P sources. Soil available P after harvest had a tendency to increase where any source of P was applied or when the rates increased. The increment in soil available P was more evident when TSP and NCRPR as received and compacted were used. The lowest increments were reached with finely ground Navay phosphate rock. Leaf P concentration values were between the sufficiency range, except for those treatment where Monte Fresco and Navay finely ground phosphate rocks were applied at the rate of 50 kg P₂O₅/ha and for the check plot.     

不同氮素用量对杭白菊养分累积、转运及产量的影响

通过田间小区试验,研究不同施氮量对杭白菊养分积累、转运及产量的影响,以确定杭白菊最佳氮肥用量。试验设5个处理,氮素用量分别为0、90 kg/hm2、120 kg/hm2、150 kg/hm2、180 kg/hm2,以N0、N1、N2、N3、N4表示,5次重复。结果表明,不同氮素用量影响杭白菊不同时期干物质和养分的阶段积累量,但不影响其积累趋势,整个生育期内杭白菊氮、磷、钾积累量为钾氮磷。不同施氮量影响茎叶氮、磷、钾的转移效率和在不同器官中的分配比率,以不施肥处理最高,N3(150 kg/hm2)次之。在氮、磷、钾三种元素中,转运效率磷氮钾。收获期氮、磷、钾在不同器官的分配比率不同,氮素、钾素分配比率为茎花叶根,磷素分配比率为茎花根叶。各处理杭白菊花的产量在1746.232~211.3 kg/hm2之间,以N3(150 kg/hm2)处理产量最高。在本实验条件下,杭白菊的推荐施氮量为150 kg/hm2。     

5年定位试验条件下钾肥用量对双季稻产量和施钾效应的影响

通过5年定位试验（2008~2012年）, 研究不同钾肥施用量对水稻产量、植株钾素含量、钾素积累量、钾肥利用率、土壤钾素含量、钾素平衡和钾肥经济效益的影响。试验施钾量（K2O）从低到高设K0（不施钾）、K1（早稻84 kg/hm2、晚稻105 kg/hm2）、K2（早稻120kg/hm2、晚稻 150 kg/hm2）、K3（早稻156kg/hm2、晚稻195 kg/hm2）和K4（早稻192kg/hm2、晚稻 240kg/hm2）5个处理。5年的试验结果表明, 施钾能显著提高早、晚稻产量,在一定施钾量范围内,水稻产量随施钾量的增加而增加;施钾能促进水稻植株对钾素的吸收和积累,尤其是稻草对钾素的吸收和积累;早、晚稻的钾肥农学效应均以K2处理最高（早稻3.12 kg/kg、晚稻3.70 kg/kg）;钾肥利用率以K1处理最高（早稻41.2%、晚稻76.4%）,并随施钾量提高而降低;不同施钾量对土壤钾素含量有明显影响,土壤速效钾、缓效钾和土壤全钾均随施钾量的增加而增加,且不同处理间土壤速效钾含量差异达极显著水平（P＜0.01）;连续种植5年10季水稻后,K0、K1和K2处理的土壤钾素亏缺（K 127.1kg/hm2、 58.3kg/hm2和10.8kg/hm2）,亏缺量随施钾量的增加而降低; K3和K4处理的土壤钾素盈余（48.0 kg/hm2 和109.2kg/hm2）,盈余量随施钾量的增加而增加。在经济效益上,早、晚稻产投比均以K2处理最高（早稻1.04、晚稻1.27）。综合考虑施钾的增产效应、经济效益和土壤钾素养分平衡等因素,建议该双季稻区早稻施钾量在K2O 120~156 kg/hm2、晚稻施钾量在K2O 150~195kg/hm2范围内较为适宜。     

Effect of potassium fertilizer composition on the potassium status of soddy-podzolic soils under model experimental conditions

A model experiment was conducted with samples from arable horizons of loamy sandy and loamy soddy-podzolic soils under laboratory conditions. The samples were stored with KCl, K₂SO₄, and Potassium-E was added at rates of 240 and 960 kg/ha under alternating moistening and drying for 90 days. The contents of nonexchangeable, exchangeable, and easily exchangeable potassium and the K⁺ activity in 1: 2.5 water suspensions were measured in the original samples and after the end of the experiment. The contents of nonexchangeable, exchangeable, and easily exchangeable potassium were found to not be reliably affected by the composition of potassium fertilizers; the K⁺ activity was lower when potassium was added as K₂SO₄ than in the cases of KCl and Potassium-E.     

Effect of nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium on yields and nutrient levels in carrots grown on sphagnum peat and mineral soils.

Abstract

Carrots, Daucus carota L., were grown on both sphagnum peat and mineral soils from 1969 to 1972 inclusive. Fertilizer treatments consisted of three rates of N, of P and of K applied in all possible combinations.

In practically every instance rates of N, P and K applied to sphagnum peat were reflected in the levels of these nutrients found in carrot leaves. This was not the case with mineral soils. On sphagnum peat there were eight opportunities, and on mineral soils seven, for each of the three applied nutrients to influence yields. On peat N increased yields in three instances, P in one and K in five. On mineral soils N decreased yields in two instances, P decreased them in one and increased them in one while K had no effect.

The results suggest that on sphagnum peat carrots may require N, P and K up to 250, 50 and 150 kg/ha respectively whereas on mineral soils maximum rates would be 25, 25 and 50 kg/ha.     

Potassium,magnesium, and irrigation effects on peanuts grown on two soils

Abstract

Research data are limited on K and Wg requirements of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) grown on sandy soils either with or without irrigation. Purposes of this study were (1) to determine Mg, K, and irrigation effects on yield, sound mature kernels (SMK's), and diseases of ‘Florunner’ peanuts grown on two sandy soils and (2) to determine sufficient amounts of Mg and K in peanut leaves and soils. Field experiments were conducted for three years on a Lakeland sand (thermic, coated Typic Quartzipsainments) and a Fuquay loamy sand (siliceous, thermic, Arenic Plinthic Paleudults). Both soils initially tested low in Mehlich 1 extractable K and Mg, but Lakeland was lower than Fuquay in both K and Mg. Factorial treatments were 0, 67, 67 (split into three applications), and 134 kg Mg/ha as MgS0₄ and 0, 56, 112, and 224 kg K/ha as KC1.

Neither irrigation, K, nor Mg treatment affected number of diseased plants. (Sclerotium rolfsii) or pod rot on either soil. Also, yield and % SMK's were not affected by any treatment any year on Fuquay soil. On Lakeland soil, yields were increased by irrigation 60.3% in 1980 and 11.0% in 1982, by K rates of 56 kg/ha or more each year, and by Mg rates of 67 kg/ha or more in 1978 and 1982. Yields (3‐yr average) were increased 14.7% by Mg with K and 30.7% by K with Mg. Magnesium plus K increased yields 69.3% over the control. Treatments had no consistent effects on % SMK's. Concentrations of K and Mg in leaves and soils were increased by increased rates of application but were not affected by irrigation. Minimum sufficiency levels for maximum yield were 10 and 2.0 g/kg for leaf K and Mg and 20 and 11 ng/kg for soil K and Mg (0 to 30 cm depth), respectively.     

Response of burley tobacco to banded fertilizer and in‐row subsoiling

Abstract

Field experiments were conducted during 4 years at two locations in Kentucky to study the response of burley tobacco to phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizer rate and placement, and to in‐row subsoiling. In one experiment on Pope soil (mesic Fluventic Dystrochrepts), dry matter and P and K uptake 40 days after transplanting, and cured leaf yield and value/ha were increased as application of a 5–13–36 (%N‐P₂O₅‐K₂O) grade fertilizer increased from 310 to 930 kg/ha. Generally, fertilizer placed in 40‐cm wide bands directly under and parallel to the row was more effective than broadcasting and in‐row subsoiling was more effective than not subsoiling. Significant 2‐way and 3‐way interactions suggested that plant responses to band applications over broadcasting were greater in the presence than absence of subsoiling. In another experiment conducted on two silt loam soils, Pope and Maury (typic Paleudalfs), fertilizer applied in a 40‐cm band with in‐row subsoiling was more effective than broadcasting without subsoiling or placement in 10‐cm wide bands applied 0.6‐m apart and perpendicular to the row without subsoiling. Growth and yields increased up to the 620 kg/ha rate and 40 days after transplanting, soil pH decreased and soil electrical conductivity and plant manganese (Mn) increased with increased rate of fertilizer.     

东北黑土区大豆生长、结瘤及产量对氮、磷的响应

氮肥和磷肥显著影响大豆的结瘤和产量。然而在土壤肥力较高、速效养分有效性差的东北地区,有关氮肥和磷肥施用量对大豆结瘤和产量影响的研究较少。本试验采用裂区田间试验,设置3个氮（N）水平（0、20 和 50 kg/hm2）和 3 个磷（P）水平（0、 20 和 40 kg/hm2）,研究氮、 磷及其交互作用对大豆生长发育、 结瘤特征及产量的影响。结果表明, 单施氮肥大豆生物量和产量随着施氮量的增加而增加,而根瘤数量、 干重、 大小和结瘤指数呈逐渐下降的趋势。单施磷肥促进大豆生物量、 产量、 根瘤数量、 干重、 大小和结瘤指数的增加,但其增幅低于施氮处理下的增幅。氮磷对大豆生长和产量促进作用高于单施氮和单施磷处理,但差异不显著;氮磷处理下的根瘤数量、 干重、 大小和结瘤指数低于单施磷处理;氮磷处理下N2（N 50 kg/hm2）处理下的大豆根瘤数量、 干重、 大小和结瘤指数高于N1处理（N 20 kg/hm2）下的,随着施磷量的增加大豆根瘤数量、 干重、 大小和结瘤指数增加,施磷能够抵消氮对大豆根瘤产生和形成的抑制。氮、 磷及其交互作用对大豆根瘤的影响都是直接的,并且不是通过促进大豆生长间接促进的。因此氮和磷均是限制东北地区大豆结瘤和产量的因素,但氮是主导因素。若要获得大豆高产,氮肥施用量需要控制在50 kg/hm2,磷肥在40 kg/hm2;但若想最大的发挥大豆的结瘤固氮功能,那么应该不施或者减少氮肥的施用量到20 kg/hm2,磷肥仍在40 kg/hm2。     

Potassium uptake by soybean as affected by exchangeable potassium in soil

Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) has been shown to have a great capacity to take K from soil, suggesting that it might absorb K from non‐exchangeable forms. In this paper, the effect of level of K fertilization on soil exchangeable K content and K uptake by soybean are discussed. The experiment was conducted on a Typic Haplortox (sandy loam), fertilized with 0, 40, 80, 160 and 240 kg K₂O/ha as KC1 or K₂SO₄. During five years before the experiment, half of the plots received those K rates annually and the other half only in the first three years, providing an opportunity to study the residual effect of applied K. Plant samples were taken at pod filling and at harvest. Soil cores were collected in 20 cm increments down to 80 cm deep at plant emergence, pod filling and after harvest. There was a residual effect of K, and 240 kg K₂O/ha applied in a 3‐year term led to the same yield and K uptake as 80 kg ICO/ha applied annually for 3 years. Fertilized plants absorbed 160% more K than unfertilized ones, but soil exchangeable K accounted for less than 50% of plant uptake; therefore the exchangeable pool must have been replaced in time for soybean uptake. On the other hand, the K recycled from the plant to the soil was not found in the exchangeable form. There was evidence of K leaching deeper than 80 cm, and in addition, the K recycled from the plants may have turned into non‐exchangeable forms in the soil.     

Sorption of Phosphorus from Swine,Dairy, and Poultry Manures

In most phosphorus (P) sorption studies, P is added as an inorganic salt to a predefined background solution such as calcium chloride (CaCl₂) or potassium chloride (KCl); however, in many regions, the application of P to agricultural fields is in the form of animal manure. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to compare the sorption behavior of dissolved reactive P (DRP) in monopotassium phosphate (KH₂PO₄)–amended CaCl₂ and KCl solutions with sorption behavior of DRP in three different animal manure extracts. Phosphorus single‐point isotherms (PSI) were conducted on eight soils with the following solutions: KH₂PO₄‐amended 0.01 M CaCl₂ solution, KH₂PO₄‐amended 0.03 M KCl solution, water‐extracted dairy manure, water‐extracted poultry litter, and swine lagoon effluent. The PSI values for the dairy manure extract were significantly lower than the CaCl₂ solution for all eight soils and lower than the KCl solution for six soils. The PSI values were significantly higher, on the other hand, for poultry litter extract and swine effluent than the inorganic solutions in four and five of the soils, respectively. Our observations that the sorption of DRP in manure solutions differs significantly from that of KH₂PO₄‐amended CaCl₂ and KCl solutions indicates that manure application rates based on sorption data collected from inorganic P salt experiments may be inaccurate.     

磷、钾营养对套作大豆钾素积累及利用效率的影响

以贡选1号为材料,研究了磷、钾营养对套作大豆钾素积累及利用效率的影响。结果表明,套作大豆全生育期钾素积累动态符合"S"型增长曲线。完熟期钾素积累总量以及根、茎、叶片、荚果各器官钾素含量均随施钾量增加而增加,随施磷量增加呈先增加后减少的趋势;各处理均以P2K3(P2O517.0 kg/hm2,K2O 112.5 kg/hm2)最高,较不施磷、钾(P0K0)高18.79%5~8.33%。全生育期钾积累速率呈单峰曲线变化,随施钾量增加而增加,随施磷量增加先升高后降低,出苗后90 d左右达到最大值。钾素生产效率、吸收利用率、农学利用率随施磷、施钾量增加与钾积累速率表现一致,但收获指数随施磷量增加先降低后升高。合理施用磷、钾肥能提高套作大豆钾素利用效率,以P2K1(P2O517.0 kg/hm2,K2O 37.5 kg/hm2)处理最好。     

不同氮磷钾处理对木薯产量、 养分积累、 利用及经济效益的影响

于2010和2011年,以木薯品种华南205（SC205）为试验材料,采用3414方案设计,研究了氮磷钾不同施肥处理对木薯产量、 养分积累利用和经济效益的影响,并通过多元回归建立红壤旱地木薯的施肥效益方程。结果表明,施肥处理的鲜薯产量显著高于不施肥处理; 缺氮处理的鲜薯产量显著低于缺磷和缺钾处理,对鲜薯产量的影响N＞K2O＞P2O5; 施肥处理中以N2P2K2处理的鲜薯产量、 鲜薯淀粉含量、 鲜生物量、 养分收获指数和经济效益最高,而产投比以N2P2K0处理最高,N1P2K1处理其次,N2P2K3处理最小。木薯植株养分积累总量K2O＞N＞P2O5,平均100 kg鲜薯养分需求量分别为1.00、 0.91和0.11 kg,平均养分收获指数分别为0.53、 0.33和0.46。相关分析表明,木薯产量与施氮量呈极显著正相关,与施钾量呈显著正相关,与施磷量相关不显著。在本试验条件下,三元二次方程拟合结果表明,达到经济最佳产量时的氮、 磷、 钾施用量分别为205.37、 65.43和311.30 kg/hm2,产投比为6.23。
