中国南方红壤丘陵区大豆－柑橘间作系统植物磷的吸收特征

A field microplot experiment was conducted in the red soil hilly region of South China to evaluate plant phosphorus (P)uptake under soybean and citrus monoculture and the soybean-citrus intercropping system using the ³²P tracer technique. P fertilizer was applied at three depths (15, 35, and 55 cm). The experimental results showed that the planting pattern and ³²P application depth significantly affected the characteristics of P uptake by soybean and citrus. Under the soybean-citrus intercropping system, considerable competition was observed when the ³²P fertilizer was applied to the topsoil (15 cm); therefore, the 32P recovery rate declined by 41.5% and 14.7% for soybean and citrus, and 32P supplying amount of topsoil to soybean and citrus decreased by 346.8 and 148.1 mg plot^-1, respectively, compared to those under the monoculture. However, ³²P recovery of soybean was promoted when ³²P fertilizer was applied to the deeper soil layers (35 and 55 cm)under soybean-citrus intercropping. Under the soybean monoculture, 32P fertilizer could hardly be used by soybean when ³²P fertilizer was applied at the 55 cm depth or below, with the recovery rate being less than 0.1%; it was up to 0.253% by soybean under intercropping. The higher P recovery of soybean under soybean-citrus intercropping when P was applied in the deeper soil layers was because part of the P nutrient that the citrus absorbed from the deeper soil layers could be released into the topsoil and then it could be used by the soybean.
