Abstract:
      To explore a new way for development potato in arid hill drought regions of Qinghai Province, a field experiment was conducted to assess the effects of controlled-release compounded fertilizer on potato yield, soil nitrate-N content, soil nitrate-N accumulation and nitrogen use efficiency under plastic film mulching condition. The results showed that the highest potato yield was 47 240 kg·hm-2 in 1 050 kg·hm-2 controlled-release compounded fertilizer (RZ70) treatment. Comparing to farmer’s conventional fertilization (NXG) treatment, the potato yield of RZ70 was increased 2 175 kg·hm-2,and the increasing rate was 4.83%. Comparing to special potato fertilizer (MZY) treatment, the potato yield was increased 5 085 kg·hm-2, and the increasing rate was 12.06%. From seedling to mature stage of potato, soil nitrate-N content in depth of 0~100 cm increased significantly under farmer’s conventional fertilization (NXG) treatment and special potato fertilizer(MZY) treatment, whereas, soil nitrate-N content in depth of 0~100 cm decreased significantly under 1 050 kg·hm-2 controlled-release compounded fertilizer (RZ70) treatment. Soil nitrate-N content in depth of 0~100 cm trended as increasing first,then decreasing in the growing season. Nitrate-N content presented a peak in the resettling stage, and mainly concentrated in depth of 20~40 cm. With the growth and development of potato, the difference of soil nitrate-N content in depth of 0~100 cm gradually reduced and stabilized to a minimum level in mature stage. Soil nitrate-N accumulation in depth of 0~100 cm showed a decreasing trend in the growing season under farmer conventional fertilization (NXG) treatment. The changes of soil nitrate-N accumulation in depth of 0~100 cm was similar to soil nitrate-N content, except in farmer conventional fertilization (NXG) treatment. The highest nitrogen use efficiency was 53.70% in 1 050 kg·hm-2 controlled-release compounded fertilizer (RZ70) treatment. It increased 3.38%~40.85% and 5.01%~33.25% respectively, comparing to farmer conventional fertilization (NXG) and special potato fertilizer (MZY) treatment. The findings provide a theoretical basis for rational application of controlled-release compounded fertilizer in potato planting of Qinghai province.
