Abstract:
      The field experiment with “Zibi 8” was conducted to investigate the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus application on growth characteristics, dry matter accumulation, yield and yield component of castor in medium saline soil. The results showed that nitrogen and phosphorus had no significant effect on the number of main stem leaf, but had significant effect on plant height and dry weight (from budding stage) and dry weight of leaf, stem and inflorescence (from seeding stage). There was significant effect of nitrogen on the spike number per plant, but there was no significant effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on it. There existed significant effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on grain number per spike, 100-grain weight and yield of castor. A positive correlation was detected between dry weight of shoot and yield during flowering, post-flowering and filling and ripening stage. Increased dry weight accumulation after anthesis was beneficial to enhancing grain yield. The yield of treatment with 225 kg·hm-2 N and 90 kg·hm-2 P2O5 was the highest, reaching up to 3 568.4 kg·hm-2.
