Abstract:
      Field tests were carried out to study the simplex centroid design combination of coated urea and urea on cucumber,and the yield and its composition of cucumber were determined.By establishing yield regression equation of all factors,analysis of fertilizer efficacy and its economic benefits was made.The results show that in the rate of x1(urea U)=0.20,x2(release-controlled urea D60)=0.50 and x3(release-controlled urea D30)=0.30,which can be converted into the actual combination of nitrogen fertilization as x1=7.0 kg,x2=17.5 kg and x3=10.5 kg per 667 m2,the expected highest yield can reach 8 173 kg/667m2.The combination of D30 and D60 can increase the cucumber yield by 1 766 kg/667m2 compared with only urea fertilization,with an increase rate of 29.3%.While the results of the economic benefit analysis indicate that the treatment of UD60D30 can gain a profit of 3 753.51 yuan/667m2,with an output-input ratio of 15.46∶1.Therefore,the mixture of urea and two kinds of release-controlled urea in certain rate is favorable to increasing cucumber yield and farmers' income.
