Abstract:
      Study was made on the soil texture and fertility status of hillside close-planting jujube field on the Loess Plateau.The results displayed: The soil appears low-fertility due to serious lack of N, P but K;The soil is sandy loam that has good soil aeration but bad water and nutrient retention.The content of soil nutrients of 0~60 cm is as follows: organic matter: 1.687~5.002 mg·kg-1, total N: 0.072~0.316 g·kg-1, NO-3-N: 2.325~16.846 g·kg-1, NH+4-N: 1.187~2.146 g·kg-1, avail-P: 0.270~2.480 mg·kg-1, avail-K: 51.9~169.1 mg·kg-1. All of them above decrease gradually with the decreasing of soil profile.The soil particle is silt particle and the content is generally 65.75%~68.98%.With the increasing of content of organic matters, the 0.25~0.05 mm microaggregate reduced but <0.05 mm microaggregate increased.The fertility status of jujube close planting in hillside field on the Loess Plateau was on the low side as a whole.All the nutrients content was lower except avail-K was on a middle grade.
