| Abstract: |
| A field experiment in Lijiabu, Dingxi City of Gansu province, was carried out based on improving nitrogen use efficiency and reducing the pollution of nitrogen fertilizer. Four treatments, namely flat-planting with no mulching (NM), half-mulching and flat-planting(HM), complete mulching and flat-planting(CM), completely mulched alternating narrow and wide ridges with furrow planting(CMRF), were designed to study accumulation of residual NO
3--N and dynamic accumulation and distribution of dry matter and nitrogen use efficiency. The results showed that in the whole growth period of mulching treatments NO3--N content of 0～10 cm soil layer was highest and were significantly higher than that of NM, indicating there existed NO3--N surface accumul
ation in mulching treatments. NO3--N content of all treatments under 140 cm soil layer was accumulated. The average nitrogen accumulation in the whole growth period was: CMRF＞CM＞HM＞NM. Compared with CM and NM, grain nitrogen accumulation of CMRF was increased by 20.48% and 87.87%, showing that CMRF significantly enhanced plants nitrogen utilization from soil, as well as transport of nitrogen to grain Biomass yield of CMRF was 37.60% higher than that of HM, maize yield was increased by 49.84%, and nitrogen harvest index was significantly increased by 22.55% compared with HM. During different treatments nitrogen use efficiency of maize was significantly different at 0.05 level, CMRF was significantly increased by 53.98% than NM. |
