Effect of supplied phytosiderophore on 59Fe absorption and translocation in Fe-deficient barley grown hydroponically in low phosphorus media

Hydroponically grown barley plants ( Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Minorimugi) under iron-deficient (–Fe) and high phosphorus (P) conditions (500 µmol L⁻¹) showed Fe chlorosis and lower growth compared with plants grown in –Fe and low P conditions (50, 5 and 0.5 µmol L⁻¹). To understand the physiological role of P in regulating the growth of plants in –Fe medium, we carried out an Fe feeding experiment using four P levels (500, 50, 5 and 0.5 µmol L⁻¹) and phytosiderophores (PS), mugineic acid. Our results suggest that plants grown in a high P medium had higher absorption activity of ⁵⁹Fe compared with plants grown in low P media, irrespective of the presence or absence of added PS. Translocation of ⁵⁹Fe from roots to shoots was not affected by the P level. The relative translocation rate of ⁵⁹Fe increased with decreasing levels of P in the medium. In general, the addition of PS enhanced the absorption of ⁵⁹Fe and its translocation. Taken together these results suggest that the lower relative translocation rate of Fe in high P plants may be induced by the physiological inactivation of Fe in the roots, and the higher absorption activity of Fe in high P conditions possibly results from the response of barley plants to Fe deficiency.     

Diurnal variations in absorption and translocation of a ferrated phytosiderophore in barley as affected by iron deficiency

The release of phytosiderophore (PS) from roots of Fe-deficient graminaceous plants follows a distinct diurnal rhythm with maximum release rates occurring usually 3 to 4 hours after the onset of light. However, it remains to be determined whether absorption of the PS-Fe³⁺ complex shows a diurnal rhythmicity similar to that of PS release, Barley plants grown with or without 10 µM FeEDTA for 7 days were fed with ferreted PS (10 µM labelled with ⁵⁹Fe) at 4-h intervals to study the diurnal variations in the absorption and transloca tion of ⁵⁹Fe, The absorption of ⁵⁹Fe, irrespective of the Fe nutritional status of the plants, was higher during the day and lower during the night but did not show any peak throughout the day-night cycle. On the other hand, the translocation of ⁵⁹Fe into shoots of Fe-deficient plants was lower than that of Fe-sufficient plants, while the Fe nutritional status of the plants did not affect the absorption of ⁵⁹Fe by roots, The formation of root apoplastic ⁵⁹Fe was lower during the day and higher during the night, regardless of the Fe nutritional status of plants. Our results showed that the absorption of the PS-Fe³⁺ complex by roots did not follow the PS release pattern.     

Effects of Fe compounds on nutrient uptake by plants grown in sand media with different pH

The effect of soil and foliar application of different iron (Fe) compounds (FeSO₄, Fe‐EDTA, Fe‐EDDS, and Fe‐EDDHA) on nutrient concentrations in lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. Australian gelber) and ryegrass (Lolium perenne cv. Prego) was investigated in a greenhouse pot experiment using quartz sand as growth medium. Soil application was performed in both the acidic and alkaline pH range, and foliar application to plants grown in the alkaline sand only. Lettuce growth was depressed by Fe deficiency in the alkaline sand, whereas the treatments had no effect on ryegrass growth. Soil‐applied Fe compounds raised the Fe concentrations in lettuce. This was especially true for the Fe chelates, which also increased yields. Soil‐applied Fe compounds had no statistically significant effect on Fe concentrations in ryegrass. Concentrations of manganese (Mn) in lettuce were equally decreased by all soil‐applied chelates. In the alkaline sand, soil application of Fe‐EDDHA elevated copper (Cu) and depressed zinc (Zn) concentrations in lettuce. The chelates increased Zn concentration in ryegrass. Foliar application of Fe‐EDDS increased Fe concentrations in lettuce and in ryegrass most. Fe‐EDDHA depressed Mn and Zn concentrations in lettuce more than other Fe compounds, suggesting the existence of another mechanism, in addition to Fe, that transmits a corresponding signal from shoot to roots with an impact on uptake of micronutrients.     

Effects of floating Azolla on phosphorus fluxes and recovery from former agricultural lands in wetland microcosms

The long-term fertilization results in accumulation of phosphorus especially in the top layer of the soils. Inundation of agricultural lands leads to a switch to anaerobic soil condition, causing reduction of iron and leaching of phosphate simultaneously. From the ecological and environmental perspective, high nutrients flux especially phosphorus will increase the possibility of eutrophication in aquatic system. The fern Azolla had a good potential to adsorb phosphorus, it also has distinctive nitrogen-fixing capacity. We conducted a 10-week aquarium experiment to investigate the phosphorus release capacity from two agricultural soils in the Netherlands with different Fe and P concentrations but comparable Fe/P ratios. Besides, the research questions rose to whether Azolla could use the mobilized phosphate released from the soils for growth. We also tried to find an effective indicator to estimate the actually phosphate mobilization from sediment to water layer. Results showed that the soils with high Fe and P concentrations had higher phosphate release rate compared with the soil with low Fe and P concentrations. Pore water Fe: PO₄^3? ratios were valid to identify P release to surface water, when the Fe: PO₄^3? ratios less than 8 mol mol^?1 substantial phosphorus mobilization occurred. The conclusions showed that the actual mobilization of phosphate is more important than the phosphorus retained in the sediments for the internal PO₄^3? fluxes. From 10-week experimental results, we found that Azolla can reuse the phosphate retained in soils thus removed the mobilized phosphate in a moderately low surface water nutrient loading.     

Effects of excess manganese and metal chelators on micronutrient concentrations in the xylem sap of iron-deficient barley plants

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plants were grown hydroponically in a greenhouse for 14 d under Fe-deficient conditions before treatment for 3 h with excess Mn (25 µM) and equimolar amounts of plant-borne (phytosiderophores, PS) or synthetic (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, EDTA) metal chelators. The xylem sap was collected for 3 h and analyzed for PS, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, and citrate concentrations. Excess Mn in the feeding medium decreased the concentrations of PS, Fe, Zn, and Cu in the xylem sap. Addition of 25 µM Mn and an equimolar amount of PS to the feeding medium increased the concentrations of PS, Fe, and Cu in the xylem sap, while EDTA decreased the concentrations of PS and the above nutrients. Excess Mn in the feeding medium increased the Mn concentration in the xylem sap and this increase was more pronounced with the addition of PS to the feeding medium, while EDTA had a depressing effect. These findings suggested that the roots of Fe-deficient barley plants can enhance the absorption and/or translocation of both Mn²⁺ and a PS-Mn complex. Addition of excess Mn to the feeding medium, irrespective of chelators, did not affect the xylem citrate concentration, indicating that citrate may not contribute to the translocation of metal micronutrients. In the xylem sap of Fe-deficient barley plants, the concentrations of metal micronutrients were positively correlated with the concentrations of PSG     

Effect of partial urea application on nutrient absorption by hydroponically grown spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea cv. Okame) was grown in hydroponic pot culture with an Enshi nutrient solution amended with 0, 20, or 50% urea with or without nickel addition (Ni; 0.05 mg L^-1), while the total concentration of N (17.33 mmol L^-1) remained constant in all the cases to evaluate the effect of partial urea application, with or without the addition of Ni, on the absorption of NO³-N, urea-N, NH₄-N, minerals (e.g. Ca, K, Mg, P) by plants. Fresh and dry weight of the shoots was highest when a 20% urea solution with Ni addition was used. The variation in spinach yield was related to the absorption of total-N by the plants. The absorption of total-N, attributed mainly to NO₃-N and urea-N, differed between the treatments. In the case of short-term absorption, determination by using ¹⁵N-urea and ¹⁵N-KNO₃ showed that, the urea-N absorption significantly increased with the increase in the urea concentration in the nutrient solution. When the urea solutions were used, regardless of Ni addition, the absorption of NO₃-N was more than four times higher than that of urea-No The addition of Ni in the urea solutions stimulated and increased both urea-N and NO₃-N absorption. In the case of long-term absorption, the NO₃-N absorption decreased with the decrease of the NO₃-N concentration when NO₃-N was partially replaced with urea in the nutrient solution. The addition of Ni in the urea solutions resulted in the increase of the absorption of both urea-N and NO₃-N, but the NO₃-N absorption remained lower in all the treatments compared to the control. In the urea solutions, the absorption of urea-N with or without the addition of Ni increased at a lower rate over time (sampling stages). Application of urea, with or without the addition of Ni in the nutrient solution, increased Ca absorption but decreased K and Mg absorption, whereas, P absorption was unaffected. It is suggested that spinach could grow adequately in an Enshi nutrient solution modified with 20% urea with the addition of 0.05 mg Ni L^-1, when urea totally replaced NH₄-N and partially replaced NO₃-N.

Effects of nano Fe/SiO2 fertilizers on germination and growth of barley and maize

Iron (Fe) nanoparticles (NPs), with 30–40 nm diameter, were stabilized on sand. The resulting synthesized Fe/SiO₂ NPs, with different Fe contents (0–25 mg kg^?1) were employed as fertilizers in probing the mean germination time (MGT), growth and dry matter of barley and maize and their comparison with common Fe/SiO₂ in a completely randomized design (CRD) experiment. The results showed that our fertilizers had significant effects on MGT, with the lowest of 0.58 day for barley and 0.79 day for maize; at 15 and 5 mg kg^?1 nano Fe/SiO₂, respectively. Application of 15 mg kg^?1 of nano Fe/SiO₂ increased the shoot length: 8.25% and 20.8% for barley and maize, respectively. However, the concentration of 25 mg kg^?1 had a negative impact on shoot length in barley. Increasing the concentrations of both nano and common Fe/SiO₂ particles, increased the root lengths in both plants, however this increase was higher with the application of nano Fe/SiO₂. Likewise, seedling length enlarged with the concentration increase of both Fe/SiO₂ particles and was more pronounced with nano Fe/SiO₂. The application of nano Fe/SiO₂ was more effective compared with the common Fe/SiO₂ in encouraging barley and maize growth. The positive impact was higher in maize than barley.     

Shoot and root biomass,phosphorus and nitrogen uptake of spring wheat grown in low phosphorus and moisture content conditions in a pot experiment

Abstract

A pot experiment was done in a greenhouse to investigate the effect of low phosphorus (P) and moisture content on growth and yield components of four spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties. Days to emergence of seedlings were shortened, plant height, tiller number, and SPAD (Soil-Plant Analyses Development) index of the leaves were significantly (p?R²) values ranging from 0.72 to 0.90. The study underlines the strong relationship between moisture, P availability and uptake and provides more information on P nutrition during the vegetative stage of wheat in moisture and P deficient soils.     

Effect of potassium on uptake and translocation of sodium and potassium in Chinese cabbage under NaCl stress

To investigate the influence of potassium (K⁺) on the salinity tolerance of Chinese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis Rupr.) seedlings, the plants were cultured at three K⁺ levels (0, 5, or 10?mM), under normal (0?mM NaCl) and high-salt (100?mM NaCl) conditions. The results indicated that the dry weight of Chinese cabbage increased with the application of K⁺ under salt stress. Addition of K⁺ increased K⁺ concentrations and suppressed sodium (Na⁺) concentration, which eventually increased the K⁺/Na⁺ ratios in roots or shoots. Application of K⁺ enhanced the uptake of K⁺ and suppressed the uptake of Na⁺. Moreover, the ratios of shoot-K⁺/root-K⁺ increased considerably, but the ratios of shoot-Na⁺/root-Na⁺ decreased in response to K⁺ application. It was concluded that the application of K⁺ could enhance the salt stress tolerance in Chinese cabbage because more K⁺ than Na⁺ was absorbed and translocated from roots to shoots.     

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.     

温度对改良A2/O工艺反硝化除磷性能的影响

温度是影响微生物代谢活动的重要物理因素。为了提高生物同步脱氮除磷的效率,该研究采用改良A2/O反应器处理模拟城市污水,考察温度对活性污泥反硝化除磷性能和缺氧区微生物代谢动力学行为的影响,以期为反硝化除磷工艺的实际应用提供理论指导和技术支持。结果表明,当温度低于12℃时,改良系统化学需氧量(chemical oxygen demand,COD)和总氮(total nitrogen,TN)去除率明显下降,PO3-4-P去除率变化较小。通过污泥反硝化除磷性能测试发现,温度过高或过低均会导致释磷速率和吸磷速率的变化;温度对活性污泥中反硝化聚磷菌(denitrifying phosphorus accumulation organisms,DPAOs)比例影响较大,当温度为27℃时,DPAOs/PAOs达到最高值(56.16%),吸磷速率、硝酸盐还原速率以及聚-β-羟基丁酸盐(poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid,PHB)氧化速率达到最大,分别为5.15 mg/(g·h)、7.13 mg/(g·h)和0.81 mmol/(g·h)。通过拓展的阿伦尼乌斯方程对试验结果进行拟合,缺氧区动力学过程的温度系数分别为1.120~1.164和1.137~1.153,所有的缺氧化学计量学均对温度变化敏感。     

Soil N dynamics and N yield of barley grown on Breton loam using N from biological fixation or fertilizer

Summary Soil N dynamics and barley yields (Hordeum vulgare L.) were compared in pot experiments using surface samples from a Gray Luvisol under three cropping systems at Breton, Alberta: (1) an agroecological 8-year rotation including cereals, forage, and fababeans (Vicia faba L.) as green manure, from wich two plots were selected, one following fababeans, and the second following 3 years of forage; (2) a continuous grain system, with fertilizer N at 90 kg ha^-1 year^-1; and (3) a classical Breton 5-year rotation [following oats (Avena sativa L.)] involving forage and cereals, without returning crop residues to the land, selecting one plot with PKS treatment and a second as control. The fertilizer N equivalent for the cropping system; A_N value and A value (analogous to A_N), but in fertilizer ¹⁵N units, soil biomass, and C and N mineralization were monitored. In the first agroecological plot (after fababeans), grain and total plant biomass production were 116% greater than from the continuous grain treatment. Barley plants in the two agroecological plots derived 48.5% and 37.8%, respectively, of their N requirement from non-labelled soil N sources not present in the continuous grain plot. At crop maturity, the recovery of ¹⁵N microbial biomass was 1.5 times higher in soil from the first agroecological plot than from the continuous grain plot. The fertilizer N equivalent was 2670 mg pot^-1 (485 kg ha^-1) for the first and 1850 mg pot^-1 for the second agroecological treatment. Fertilizer N equivalent values exceed net amounts of N mineralized by a factor of 4. Recovery by the barley crop of ¹⁵N added at 55 mg pot^-1 was more efficient in the agroecological treatments (45%–51%) than in the continuous grain or classical Breton treatments (35%–37%). It was concluded (1) that past soil history may be associated more with the ability of barley plants to compete for available N, and hence the use of N, than with net soil N mineralization; and (2) an increased supply of N to crops following the incorporation of fababean residues, manure application, and the soil N-conserving effect of growing legumes were all partly responsible for the observed differences in soil fertility.     

长期不同施肥对水稻干物质和磷素积累与转运的影响

【目的】磷是制约黄壤生产力的重要限制因子,提高作物的磷效率是农业科学研究的热点之一。探讨不同施肥模式对水稻干物质和磷素积累与转运的影响,为黄壤稻田合理施用磷肥提供理论依据。【方法】依托22年的黄壤(水田)长期定位试验,选取其中6种施肥模式:不施肥(CK);不施磷肥(NK);平衡施用化肥(NPK);单施有机肥(M);1/2有机肥替代1/2 NP (0.5 MNP);有机肥化肥配施(MNPK)。除CK和MNPK外,NK、NPK、M、1/2 MN处理为等氮量165 kg/hm^2,施磷量依次为P2O5 0、82.5、79.4、81.0 kg/hm^2,MNPK施N330 kg/hm^2、P2O5 161.9 kg/hm^2。于水稻分蘖期、开花期及成熟期,采集水稻植株样品,分析比较各处理水稻产量、干物质和磷素积累与转移特征、磷肥吸收利用效率的差异。【结果】水稻产量、干物质和磷素积累量大小顺序均表现为MNPK> M> 0.5 MNP> NPK> CK> NK。磷素积累快速增长开始(t1)和结束(t2)时间均较干物质积累提前2~8 d和5~20 d,且磷素积累快速增长持续时间(Δt)也较干物质缩短了4~12 d,表明磷素快速吸收较干物质早,且持续时间短。处理NK、NPK、0.5 MNP、MNPK干物质最大增长速率(Vm)出现时间(t0)以及t1、t2分别比CK和M处理滞后5~10 d、1~4 d、6~16 d,Δt延长了1~14 d。各处理干物质和磷素积累的Vm均表现为M、MNPK> 0.5 MNP、CK> NPK> NK。水稻籽粒干物质积累量主要来源于花后干物质积累,磷素积累量则主要来源于花前磷素积累向籽粒的转运,各处理花后干物质积累率为29.5%~43.4%,施用化肥各处理显著高于CK和M处理,各处理花前磷素积累率为60.5%~85.6%,大小为CK> NPK、M> NK、0.5 MNP、MNPK。与NPK处理相比,M和0.5 MNP处理磷肥吸收效率、磷肥偏生产力、磷肥利用率分别显著提高了0.43kg/kg、48.9 kg/kg、40.8个百分点和0.26 kg/kg、32.2 kg/kg、25.3个百分点。【结论】黄壤地区水稻栽培中长期缺磷不利于花后干物质的积累,也不利于花前磷素的积累,严重制约水稻产量和磷吸收量的提高。在氮磷钾投入平衡前提下,长期单施有机肥可促进花前干物质和磷素的积累及其向籽粒的转运,但不利于花后干物质和磷素的积累,长期单施化肥可延长干物质和磷素积累的快速增长持续时间,但最大增长速率较小,而长期有机无机配施均较有利于促进水稻花前和花后干物质和磷素的积累,水稻产量和磷肥利用率均较高,是最合理的施肥方式。     

Composition of the organic phosphorus fraction in basidiocarps of saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungi

In our screening, we aimed to detect phosphonates and other forms of organic phosphorus in basidiocarps and vegetative mycelia of six common basidiomycetes. Organic phosphorus-containing compounds were extracted in alkali and analysed using ³¹P NMR. Monoesters, diesters, pyrophosphates and polyphosphates detected in high amounts reflected the high metabolic activity in basidiocarps (growth, production of basidiospores). Phosphonates were present in all samples, in concentrations ranging from 14 mg kg⁻¹ of the extracted phosphorus in Boletus badius basidiocarp to 140 mg kg⁻¹ in Amanita muscaria vegetative mycelium. Detection of phosphonates in basidiocarps together with our previous evidence from laboratory experiments support the fungal production of natural phosphonates in forest ecosystems.     

Influence of conifers on the forms of phosphorus in selected New Zealand grassland soils

We examined the effects of conifers on the forms of P in low-fertility tussock grassland soils using ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and soil P fractionation. Results from field and glasshouse experiments clearly demonstrated that conifers enhanced the mineralization of labile (and to a lesser extent more resistant) forms of soil organic P which, in turn, increased amounts of labile inorganic P in the soil. These findings have important implications for P availability and long-term sustainable management of grassland soils in New Zealand.     

Nitrate accumulation,productivity and photosynthesis of Brassica alboglabra grown under low light with supplemental LED lighting in the tropical greenhouse

Abstract

Vegetables are a large source of nitrate (NO₃^?) in our diet. As NO₂^? is toxic to humans, it is undesirable to consume vegetables with high NO₃^? content. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of supplementing of red- and blue-LED lighting to B. alboglabra grown in the tropical greenhouse in terms of moderating NO₃^? accumulation, improving photosynthesis, and enhancing productivity. All plants were grown hydroponically in full nutrients under prevailing greenhouse conditions for 20?days (full sunlight). Thereafter, plants were subjected to three different light treatments for 12?days: full sunlight, shade, and shade supplemented with LEDs. The average midday photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) during the light treatment periods were 220?μmol m^?2 s^?1 (full sunlight), 55?μmol m^?2 s^?1 (shade), and 220?μmol m^?2 s^?1 (shade supplemented with LEDs). Shoot nitrate (NO₃^?) concentration increased significantly in plants grown in the shade. However, shoot NO₃^? concentration was reduced when plants were supplemented with red- and blue-LED lighting. Photosynthetic CO₂ assimilation, stomatal conductance, and productivity also improved in these plants. Our results suggest that supplemental red- and blue-LED lighting in a tropical greenhouse during periods of cloudy and hazy weather could improve productivity and nutrient quality of Chinese broccoli.     

Influence of nitrate and ammonium on critical nitrogen deficiency concentrations and mineral composition of Dupontia fisheri grown hydroponically in a controlled environment

Dupontia fisheri plants, derived from a clone, were propagated in plant growth chambers by the open‐pot nutrient solution technique, with vermiculite as the solid phase. The plants were illuminated continuously at 21, 500 lux (2,000 f.c.) by a combination of fluorescent and incandescent lamps. Air temperature was kept constant at 20°C. The plants, after transplanting to 20‐liter pots (closed‐pot system), were nourished by a modified half‐strength Hoagland solution, supplied with a one time addition of nitrogen at the rate of zero, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 me/1 derived from (NH₄)₂SO₄, Ca(NO₃)₂ or NH₄NO₃. They were harvested 49 days after transplanting at a time when those in the three lowest treatments were distinctly deficient in nitrogen. Critical nitrate‐N values (the concentration at a 10% reduction in vegetative growth) were found to be identical, at 100 μg/g (dry basis), in the stem, blade‐1 and blade‐3 tissues, and those for total‐N at 0.901, 2.251, and 2.501, respectively.

Absence of nitrate in stem tissue indicated a nitrogen deficiency while the total‐N value indicated the degree of deficiency: the lower the value the greater the deficiency. Nitrogen also influenced the mineral composition of stem and blade tissues directly, mainly by ionic competition, and possibly indirectly, by decreasing dry matter content as the plants became less deficient in nitrogen. Transitions from nitrogen deficiency to sufficiency caused relatively large changes in the concentration of other nutrients in both stems and blades, but sometimes in opposite directions. For example, soluble‐P and total‐P in stems increased dramatically with increases in total‐N, but decreased greatly in the blade‐1 and blade‐3 tissues. Potassium, on the other hand, increased greatly in all tisues with increases in total‐N. These effects were much smaller for phosphorus with ammonium‐N as a nitrogen source than with nitrate, but for potassium there was no appreciable effect of nitrogen source in stems, a larger effect in blade‐1 and an erratic effect in blade‐3. Additionally, there were rather large decreases in manganese concentration with increases in nitrogen while effects on other nutrients were either small (Mg and Zn) or not significant (Ca, Fe, Cu and Na). All values were above critical concentrations.     

云南湿热地区优良牧草距瓣豆的磷钾营养

采用单因子随机区组设计,在湿热地区赤红壤上开展优良热带豆科牧草—距瓣豆的磷、钾营养需求的试验。结果表明,施用磷、钾肥单位面积距瓣豆的干物质产量、氮磷钾总吸收量和粗蛋白产量明显提高;施磷可使距瓣豆的磷含量增加,氮含量相对稳定,钾含量逐渐下降;而且年均干物质产量和粗蛋白产量分别与施磷量存在的一元二次曲线方程的拟合程度较好（Yp＝1289+50.5X-0.55X2, r=0.9519**;Ycp＝254+12.2X1-0.14X12,r＝0.9398**）。施钾使距瓣豆的氮、磷含量趋于相对稳定,钾含量有所提高;年均干物质产量和粗蛋白产量分别与施钾量亦存在的一元二次曲线方程的拟合程度较好（Yk＝1259+19.2X-0.087X2,r=0.8546**;Ycp＝248+4.3X1-0.0204X12,r=0.8055**）。结果还表明,距瓣豆定植的第三年,必须按照磷钾比例1∶0.5～1.2施入磷、钾肥,以满足距瓣豆生长的营养需求和维持距瓣豆的高产稳产。
