Abstract: |
A field experiment was conducted in the gneiss Entisols to study the effect of different application of urea on the growth of millet and spatial-temporal distribution of nitrate nitrogen. A field micro-plot of 10 m2 experiment with four levels of nitrogen fertilizer treatments: 0(CK), 120 kg/hm2(N120), 225 kg/hm2(N225), 300 kg/hm2(N300), was conducted. The results on a 2-year-term location experiment showed that under this experiment condition, the yield of N120 treatment reached the highest of 4.76 kg/10m2, while the high rates of N application from N225 to N300 did not significantly increase millet yield. Based on the difference of nitrate nitrogen distribution in 0~60 cm soil profile, the content of NO3--N increased significantly by N120, N225 and N300 fertilizer treatment in 0~40 cm layer, especially the NO3--N of N225 and N300 was moved down to 40~60 cm layer after fertilization for 20 days. The NO3--N had exceeded below 60 cm layer in each fertilizer treatment after fertilization for 80 days. The NO3--N content by N120, N225 and N300 increased more significantly than CK after fertilization for 96 days (millet harvest), and the accumulation of NO3--N in soil increased with the increase of fertilizer. |
