Abstract: |
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of different tillage measures on soil nutrient distribution and crop yield in Weibei Highland. An eight-year(2007—2015) field experiment with six tillage measures under wheat-maize rotation system was conducted. The tillage measures were as follows: no-tillage, subsoiling (NS); subsoiling, conventional tillage (SC); conventional tillage, no-tillage (CN); continuous no-tillage (NN); continuous sbusoiling (SS); conventional tillage (CC). The results showed that SS and NS treatments could promote soil total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), available phosphorus (AP) and available potassium (AK) on the surface of soil, which led a significant difference in soil nutrient between the surface soil (0~10 cm) and bottom soil (10~20 cm, 20~35 cm and 35~50 cm). However, CC and NN treatments had no significant effect on soil nutrient movement. For the top 50 cm soil layer, nitric nitrogen (NO3--N) content at the depth of 20~35 cm was higher than 10~20 cm and 35~50 cm soil layer, and compared with the SC, CN, NN, SS and NS treatments, CC treatment had the highest NO3--N content. However, soil ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) content was higher in the 10~20 cm soil layer and the maximum content of NH4+-N appeared in the NS treatment. In the SS treatment, had the highest total potassium on the surface of soil. The yield of maize and wheat in the NS treatment was the highest and significant higher than CC and NN treatments. |
