Effect of organic and mineral fertilizers on some soil properties

Abstract

NPK was applied to a Haynie, very fine, sandy loam as 89.6 MT/ha (40 T/ac) of OF (organic fertilizer as feedlot manure at 45% water content) and as MF (mineral fertilizer) with nutrients equivalent to the manure during 18 months.

Organic fertilizer increased soil organic matter content 0.25% more than the MF and 0.2% more than the control. Organic fertilizer increased the CEC 0.3 m.e./100 g more than the MF and 0.4 m.e./100 g more than the control. Organic fertilizer increased exch. Mg by 32 kg/ha while MF decreased exch. Mg slightly.     

长期施用无机NPK肥对保护地黄瓜光合特性及产量的影响

在长期单施无机氮肥(15年)条件下,黄瓜生长发育正常,而且随着施N量的增加(试验中的最高施N处理为每年600kghm-2),叶面积显著增大,叶片的叶绿素含量、光合速率显著提高,但处理间叶片胞间CO2浓度、气孔导度无显著差异,说明不同N水平对黄瓜叶片净光合速率的作用主要是由非气孔因素造成的,长期单施无机氮肥还显著地提高了黄瓜的产量、结瓜数、座瓜率,降低了畸形瓜率。N、P、K配施可进一步提高黄瓜叶片的叶绿素含量、光合速率、产量、结瓜数和座瓜率,降低畸形瓜率,但处理间叶片胞间CO2浓度、气孔导度仍无显著差异,说明不同N、P、K配施对黄瓜叶片净光合速率的作用主要也是由非气孔因素造成的。同时,在N、P、K配施试验中,以N对黄瓜光合作用及产量的影响最大,P次之,K较小。     

Long‐term effects of organic manure and manufactured fertilizer additions on soil quality and sustainable productivity of finger millet under a finger millet–groundnut cropping system in southern India

In a 20‐yr‐old long‐term experiment, the impact of continuous application of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on soil quality and the sustainability of finger millet production was conducted on two cropping systems: finger millet and finger millet–groundnut on an Alfisol of semi‐arid southern India. The study was conducted from 1992 to 2011 at the All India Coordinated Research Project for Dryland Agriculture, UAS, Bangalore, using a randomized block design. The treatments comprised of T₁: control [no fertilizer and no farmyard manure (FYM) applied], T₂: FYM 10 t/ha, T₃: FYM 10 t/ha + 50% of recommended NPK (50:50:25 kg/ha), T₄: FYM 10 t/ha + 100% of recommended NPK and T₅: 100% recommended NPK. Comparison of long‐term yield data between treatments was used to calculate a ‘sustainability yield index’ (SYI), which was greatest for T₄ (FYM 10 t/ha + 100% of recommended NPK), in both rotational (0.68) and monocropping (0.63) situations. Soil quality indices were determined using principal component analysis linear scoring functions. The key indicators which contributed to the soil quality index (SQI) under rotation were organic C; potentially available N; extractable P, K and S; exchangeable Ca and Mg; dehydrogenase activity and microbial biomass C and N. The largest SQI (7.29) was observed in T₄ (FYM 10 t/ha + 100% NPK), and the smallest (3.70) SQI was for the control. Application of 10 t/ha FYM together with NPK (50:50:25 kg/ha) sustained a mean yield of 3884 kg/ha.     

有机肥与无机肥在提高土壤肥力中的作用

以在山东禹城试验区持续近20年的定位试验为依据，对长期施用有机肥、无机肥、有机无机结合等不同施肥条件下的土壤养分演变进行了系统总结。结果表明，在同等施肥情况下，有机肥不但在增加土壤有机营养，改善土壤有机质质量等方面具有极其显著的作用，而且随着年限的增长，在增加土壤速效养分方面，有机肥的效果也逐渐超过无机肥。     

Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on ‘delicious’ apple trees grown in caliche soil in the greenhouse

Abstract

In a greenhouse study, mono‐ammonium phosphate applications to ‘Delicious’ (Oregon spur cv) apple trees, Malus domestica Borkh., improved a low‐vigor condition associated with a caliche soil. The moderate rate of mono‐ammonium phosphate (6 grams per tree) resulted in trees with greater shoot extension, leaf numbers, a higher percent leaf phosphorus, and less purple leaf margins or spots than other soil treatments or the control. By September, trees treated with the highest rate of mono‐ammonia phosphate (12 grams per tree) had the highest level of leaf phosphorus and significantly higher levels of leaf phosphorus than all forms of nitrogen‐only fertilizer (ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, calcium nitrate, and urea). In most cases, applications of the nitrogen‐only fertilizers, reduced leaf phosphorus levels throughout the experiment.     

Long-Term Effect of Fertilizers and Amendments on Depth-Wise Distribution of Available NPK,Micronutrient Cations,Productivity, and NPK Uptake by Maize-Wheat System in an Acid Alfisol of NorthWestern Himalayas

The present study was undertaken in the ongoing long-term fertilizer experiment initiated during 1972 at experimental farm of Department of Soil Science, Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University, Palampur (India). Soil samples collected from three depths (0–0.15, 0.15–0.30, and 0.30–0.45 m) were analyzed for pH; organic carbon; CEC; available N, P, and K; and micronutrients cations. Continuous use of optimal dose of fertilizers and FYM-influenced pH, organic carbon, CEC, available NPK, and DTPA extractable micronutrient cations significantly. The contents of organic carbon, available N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu were higher in top soil layer (0–0.15 m) compared to lower depths (0.15–0.30 and 0.30–0.45 m). Highest productivity of wheat (89.89 q ha^?1) and maize (156.52 q ha^?1) was recorded under 100% NPK + FYM, which was at par with 100% NPK + lime. Application of 100% NPK along with amendments (FYM/lime) recorded significantly higher NPK uptake over other treatments.     

Drainage,sowing date and variety effects on chickpea grown on a Vertisol in Ethiopia

A field experiment was conducted for three years at Ginchi in Ethiopia to study the effects of three drainage methods [broad-bed-and-furrow (BBF), ridge-and-furrow (RF) and flat beds (FB)] arranged as main plots. Sub-plots comprised a factorial combination of four sowing dates (18 and 31 August, and 14 and 28 September) and three Desi-type chickpea varieties (Worku, Akaki and a landrace) in a split-plot design with three replications. Improved drainage methods (BBF and RF) increased chickpea seed yield by an average of 45% over the flat seedbed. There was a quadratic relationship between seed yield and sowing date with a peak yield in mid-September. Improved varieties (Worku and Akaki) yielded 15–19% more than the local check. Improved varieties were significantly more yielding than the landrace variety under the improved drainage system but not under the flat bed system. Also, improved varieties yielded significantly more than the landrace variety in the first three sowing dates when waterlogging was a problem but not in the last sowing date after which drought stress normally sets in. Sowing of improved chickpea varieties in mid-September using BBF could markedly increase productivity of chickpea on Vertisols in Ethiopia.     

Comparative effects of compost and NPK fertilizer on vegetative growth,protein, and carbohydrate of Moringa oleifera lam hybrid PKM-1

A field study evaluated the effects of NPK (21:17:17) and compost on vegetative growth, proteins, and carbohydrates of Moringa oleifera. The experimental design was randomized complete block design (RCBD) with six treatments replicated three times. Compost and NPK fertilizers were applied together which include control (without fertilizer) 5 t ha^?1 (Compost), 120 kg ha^?1 (NPK), 50 + 50% ha^?1 (NPK + Compost), 10 + 50% ha^?1 (NPK + Compost), and 50 + 10% ha^?1 (NPK + Compost) per plot. For NPK fertilizer, the rate was 10 and 50% of 120 kg ha^?1 and for compost it was 10 and 50% of 5 t ha^?1. The measured growth parameters were plant height (cm), stem girth (mm), number of leaves, and number of branches per plant. Results showed that 120 kg ha^?1 (NPK) treatment produced plants of more height, stem girth, more number of leaves, maximum number of branches as compared to other treatments at week 8 with higher protein. Carbohydrate content was high in 50 + 50% (NPK + Compost) compared to others.     

氮磷钾和微肥对高肥区夏玉米养分积累、分配及产量的影响

采用田间试验方法研究了N、P、K、Zn及Mn肥对高肥区夏玉米产量、植株性状及干物质积累的影响.结果表明,在该试验条件下,土壤N、P、K、Zn、Mn的贡献率分别为91.2%、100.3%、96.3%、99.4%、99.9%.玉米吸收的N、P、Zn主要积累在籽粒中,Mn主要积累在叶片和籽粒中,而K在植株各部位的积累相对均匀.在NPK处理的基础上增施Zn、Mn肥,显著降低了植株对P的吸收,而对产量、植株性状和干物质积累的影响不大.土壤中P、Zn、Mn养分含量较高,完全能够满足夏玉米生长发育的要求.NK处理最为合理经济,有效地改善了玉米穗部和植株性状,平均产量达到9 821 kg/hm~2.     

Nitrogen and/or phosphorus fertilization effects on organic carbon and mineral contents in the rhizosphere of field grown sorghum

The effects of nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) fertilizers on the nutritional status in the rhizosphere were studied by monitoring throughout the growth period the concentrations of organic carbon (C), inorganic N, NaHCO₃ extractable P, exchangeable K, Ca, and Mg in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) down in an Alfisol field, and of all these elements except for extractable P, and exchangeable Ca in a Vertisol field in semi-arid tropical India. These concentrations were compared between the rhizosphere soil and bulk soil of sorghum grown in both fields.

Organic C content of the rhizosphere soil increased with plant age and was significantly higher than that in the bulk soil throughout the growth of sorghum, but it was not affected by the rates of N or P fertilizer. Inorganic N concentration in the rhizosphere soil was significantly higher than that in the bulk soil until maturity in sorghum. The content of available P in the rhizosphere soil was significantly higher than in the bulk soil after the middle of the growth stage. Its average concentration in the rhizosphere soil across growth stages was significantly higher than in the bulk soil, which contradicts the observation in many reports that there is a depletion of P in the rhizosphere soil. The concentration of three exchangeable cations, K, Ca, and Mg, showed different patterns in the rhizosphere and the bulk soils. The concentration of K was almost constantly higher in the rhizosphere soil than in the bulk soil, Ca concentration was not different between the two soils, and Mg concentration was significantly higher in the bulk soil than in the rhizosphere soil. The reasons for these discrepancies cannot be explained at present. The concentrations of these cations were not affected by the rate of N or P fertilizer except for Mg at a later growth stage. The differences between rhizosphere and bulk soils in Alfisol were similar to those in Yertisol with respect to the concentration of organic C, inorganic N, and exchangeable K and Mg.     

Effect of Catch Cropping on Phosphorus Bioavailability in Comparison to Organic and Inorganic Fertilization

ABSTRACT

Phosphorus (P) is a limited resource and its efficient use is a main task in sustainable agriculture. In a 3-year field experiment the effects of catch cropping [oil radish (Raphanus sativus), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), serradella (Ornithopus sativus), ryegrass (Lolium westerwoldicum), and phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia)] of organic fertilization (cattle manure and biowaste compost) and of inorganic fertilization (Triple-Superphosphate) on plant and soil parameters were investigated on a P-poor loamy sand in Northeast Germany. The catch crops were sown in September and remained on the plots until next spring. Then the main crops oilseed rape (Brassica napus), spring barley (Hordeum vulgare), or spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) were cultivated. The yield and P uptake of the main crops were determined. Furthermore, in the soil the organic matter content, pH, phosphorus (P) in soil solution (Psol), double-lactate and oxalate P content, P sorption capacity, and degree of P saturation were measured. All applied forms of fertilizer affected the P contents in soil and the yields and P uptakes of main crops. For green fertilization especially phacelia was found to contribute to the P supply of the main crops, since it increased the P uptake as well as the P contents in soil significantly. The cultivation of ryegrass led to a reduction of the P availability in soil. For example, in average of the three years the Psol content was 0.35 mg L^{? 1}when phacelia was cultivated and 0.22 mg L^{? 1} when ryegrass was cultivated. The cultivation of phacelia had a comparable effect on soil and plant parameters as the organic and mineral fertilization. An improved P availability and P utilization by catch cropping can reduce the need for external P input which may help to save the limited P resources worldwide.     

磷肥和有机肥对不同磷水平土壤磷渗漏影响研究

采用土柱培养的模拟试验方法研究了在不同磷水平土壤上大量施用磷肥和有机肥对土壤测试磷、土壤磷渗漏的影响及影响机理。结果表明,不同磷水平土壤施用磷肥或有机肥土壤CaCl2-P、Olsen—P和土壤渗漏液中可溶性磷均显著增加;单位量磷肥或有机肥所增加土壤各形态磷量随土壤磷水平的增加而增大;随着磷肥或有机肥用量的增加,单位量磷肥或有机肥所增加各形态磷量也逐渐增大,差异均达到显著和极显著水平。在施用磷肥的基础上增施有机肥可以提高土壤CaCl2-P、Olsen—P含量和土壤渗漏液中可溶性磷的增长幅度。土壤磷的渗漏量与土壤测试磷呈显著正相关;单位量磷肥或有机肥所增加的土壤渗漏磷量随着磷肥或有机肥用量以及土壤磷水平的增加而增加。Olsen—P含量与土壤磷吸持指数（PSI）呈显著负相关关系,与土壤磷的吸附饱和度（DPS）呈显著正相关关系。     

Effect of Cattle Slurry on the Growth of Spinach Plants in Cd-contaminated Soil

ABSTRACT

In this work the effect of the addition of different amounts of cattle slurry (CS) to a Cd contaminated soil, was studied regarding its effect in spinach plants. Two levels of Cd contamination (2 and 10 mg/kg) and three levels of CS addition were evaluated (2.5, 5 and 10 g CS/100 g soil). Spinach was shown to be a tolerant species, able to accumulate relatively high amounts of Cd (up to 367.7 mg/kg in the leaves), exceeding the limits established by European regulations for leaf vegetables. The addition of 2.5 and 5 g CS/100 g to soil containing 2 mg/kg Cd did not reduce the uptake of this metal but allowed the plants to grow as much as the control. The addition of 10 g CS/100 g lead to a reduced Cd uptake but also to a lower plant growth compared to the lower CS levels. The combined effects of Cd and CS changed element content in the plant, but without causing severe toxicity or deficiency effects.     

连续施用商品有机肥对耕地质量及蔬菜产量的影响

本试验采用连续3茬蔬菜种植试验,研究无肥、纯化肥、化肥配施不同量有机肥对耕地质量及各蔬菜产量的影响。结果表明,长期施用商品有机肥可导致砷、铅、铬在蔬菜地表层土壤中积累,且积累量随有机肥施用量的增加而增加;施用商品有机肥能降低碱性土壤的pH值,有利于作物正常生长;施用化肥配商品有机肥不仅能显著增加土壤中有机质、碱解氮、有效磷和速效钾的含量,还能显著增加包心菜、小青菜和玉米的产量,且随商品有机肥用量的增加而增加,表明肥料投入与土壤肥力和蔬菜产量呈正比。     

长期不同施肥对塿土大团聚体中有机碳组分特征的影响

【目的】研究长期施肥对土大团聚体中有机碳组分特征的影响,揭示不同施肥方式下土壤有机碳的固持机制,为合理施肥提供理论依据。【方法】采集土35年长期肥料定位试验不同施肥处理0—10 cm和10—20 cm土样,分析其大团聚体中各组分有机碳含量的变化。试验处理为:不施肥(CK)、单施化肥(NP)、单施有机肥(M)和有机肥配施化肥(MNP)。【结果】与CK相比,长期NP处理对大团聚体中粗颗粒有机碳(cPOC)、细颗粒有机碳(fPOC)、大团聚体中微团聚体内颗粒有机碳(iPOC)以及矿质结合态有机碳(MOC)组分的有机碳(OC)含量均无显著影响;而M处理以及MNP处理可显著提高两土层cPOC和iPOC组分的OC含量以及0—10 cm土层MOC组分的OC含量,其中,cPOC含量增幅分别为174%~338%和215%~245%,iPOC含量增幅分别为127%~241%和106%~130%,MOC含量增幅达28.9%~34.6%。MNP处理显著提高了0—10 cm土层fPOC组分的OC含量,增幅达482.1%。累积碳投入量与大团聚体中各组分的OC含量呈显著线性相关,尤其是iPOC含量,表明长期施肥过程中土有机碳在大团聚体中固存的差异主要受物理保护的颗粒有机碳组分的影响。【结论】关中地区土长期施化肥对大团聚体中各组分OC含量没有显著影响,而长期单施有机肥能进一步增加大团聚体中各组分OC含量,有机肥配施化肥能显著增加团聚体中各组分OC含量,特别是大团聚体中微团聚体内颗粒有机碳组分的含量,进而增加土的有机碳固持。因此,有机肥配施化肥是提高土有机碳含量的有效措施。     

有机-无机肥配合施用对席草品质及产量的影响

采用田间小区试验,研究了有机无机肥配合施用提高席草品质与产量的效果。结果表明,有机无机肥配合施用能显著提高席草分蘖和生长整齐度,对提高席草品质有明显效果,但是产量与单施化肥、单施有机肥的产量没有显著差异。从营养生长期到工艺成熟期的200多天内,有机无机肥配合施用平均苗数比对照增加116.9%,比单施化肥、单施有机肥分别高10.7%、34.3%。有机无机肥配合施用,91~100 cm席草针茎比例平均比对照增加8.2%,而单施化肥、单施有机肥处理分别比对照高5.9%和3.4%。     

设施栽培番茄的氮磷钾肥料效应研究

采用"3414"肥料试验设计开展了设施栽培番茄的氮、磷、钾肥料效应研究。结果表明,在高肥力土壤上适量施用氮、磷、钾肥均可增加番茄产量,但过量施用会降低其产量;钾肥的增产作用大于磷肥,氮肥的作用较小;氮、钾肥和磷、钾肥配施可增加番茄产量,而氮、磷肥配施降低产量。氮、磷(P_2O_5)和钾(K_2O)最佳经济施肥量分别为119.0、50.4和375.6 kg/hm~2,施肥比例为1∶0.42∶3.16。不同施氮量对番茄硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐含量的影响不规律,增施磷、钾肥番茄硝酸盐含量呈先增加后减少趋势;氮、磷肥和磷、钾肥配施可降低番茄硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐含量。氮、钾肥和磷、钾肥配施提高了番茄可溶性糖含量,氮、磷肥和磷、钾肥配施降低了番茄总酸含量,氮、钾肥配施则有增加番茄总酸含量的趋势,氮、钾肥和磷、钾肥配施均可提高番茄Vc含量。氮、磷、钾肥料合理配施对番茄产量和品质的提高具有重要作用。     

有机无机肥配施对杭嘉湖地区稻田氮素利用率及环境效应的影响

采用田间试验结合15 N同位素示踪,研究有机无机肥配施对浙江省杭嘉湖平原稻田氮素利用率及环境效应的影响,结果表明:在施氮量150kg/hm2基础上,加施有机肥3 000kg/hm2,稻谷增产9.8%～17.7%,氮素利用率达到47.9%,比单施化肥提高4.8%。而在施氮量210kg/hm2的基础上增施有机肥,稻谷产量及氮素利用率均呈下降趋势。硝态氮是稻田土壤氮素损失的主要形式,施用有机肥能有效地降低氮素损失率。在施氮量150kg/hm2基础上配施有机肥,氮素通过田间径流的流失率由0.85%降至0.70%,氮素通过渗漏水损失率由1.29%降至0.96%;施氮量达到210kg/hm2后,施用有机肥对减少氮素流失的效果不明显。综合考虑试验点土壤特性、施肥目标产量以及对农田环境污染的潜在风险,建议以每1hm2施用纯氮150kg、配施3 000kg有机肥较为适宜。     

有机肥施用年限对土壤有机碳组分及其来源与玉米产量的影响

松嫩平原西部土壤盐渍化现象普遍,严重制约着农业的发展。施用有机肥能够提高土壤有机碳的含量,这是改良盐碱土的核心。该研究依托盐碱土改良长期定位试验,依据施用有机肥的年限,共设置4个处理,分别为:施用有机肥5a、9a和16a的处理,以未施肥的盐碱土壤作为对照处理。试验通过对土壤δ13C值、土壤有机碳组分、玉米产量、土壤pH和电导率等多项指标的测定,量化玉米源及有机肥源有机碳对土壤总有机碳的贡献,明确各有机碳组分的分配比例,探讨长期施用有机肥对盐碱土壤有机碳来源、组分、玉米产量及盐碱程度的影响。结果表明:长期施用有机肥与种植玉米的方式显著增加盐碱土壤的δ13CSOC值(P0.01),且δ13CSOC值随培肥年限的增加而增加;同时以植物及土壤的δ13CSOC值为基础,借助二元方程计算得出盐碱土壤有机培肥9a后土壤有机碳中来源于玉米残茬的比例为14.36%,来源于有机肥的比例为25.92%,盐碱土壤原有有机碳所占的比例为59.72%;长期施用有机肥显著增加玉米产量,降低土壤pH和电导率,并且随有机肥施用年限的增加玉米产量提高,土壤pH和电导率呈下降趋势;长期施用有机肥显著增加有机碳各组分的碳密度,0～40 cm土层的活性I、活性II和惰性有机碳的密度,随有机肥施用年限的增加均呈现出递增的变化趋势;土壤有机碳总量的增加来自于各组分含量的增加,0～40 cm土层有机碳含量的增加主要源于惰性和活性II有机碳,其次是活性I有机碳。综上所述,有机培肥是土壤有机碳及玉米产量提升的双赢措施,且有机肥源有机碳对有机碳的贡献大于玉米源碳的输入。长期有机培肥可以丰富植物的直接碳源,亦可促进碳素的长期固存,增强盐碱土的碳汇功能。     

有机-无机肥配合施用对席草品质及产量的影响

采用田间小区试验，研究了有机无机肥配合施用提高席草品质与产量的效果。结果表明，有机无机肥配合施用能显著提高席草分蘖和生长整齐度，对提高席草品质有明显效果，但是产量与单施化肥、单施有机肥的产量没有显著差异。从营养生长期到工艺成熟期的200多天内，有机无机肥配合施用平均苗数比对照增加116．9％，比单施化肥、单施有机肥分别高10．7％、34．3％。有机无机肥配合施用，91～100cm席草针茎比例平均比对照增加8．2％，而单施化肥、单施有机肥处理分别比对照高5．9％和3．4％。
