Abstract:
      Using wheat 22 as test material, this experiment adopted a split\|plot design, with tillage methods as main treatments including conventional tillage (C), subsoiling (S) and rotary tillage (R), with straw returning amount as sub treatments including straw returning (P) and no straw returning(A).We used Biolog Eco technology to measure metabolism function of carbon source of soil microorganisms, and analyzed basic physical and chemical properties of soil and crop yield. The results showed that, subsoiling and straw returning significantly enhanced soil water and organic carbon content, with 0~15 cm soil layers increased by 9.78% and 24.00%, 15~30 cm soil layers increased by 7.08% and 15.81%, respectively. Also, subsoiling increased the pH in 15~30 cm soil layer by 6.67%, and straw returning increased the pH of 0~15 cm soil layer by 4.32%. Subsoiling and straw returning significantly increased the metabolic diversity (richness index, aroma diversity index) and carbon metabolism intensity, 0~15 cm soil layer increased by 26.84%, 3.84% and 38.02%, and 15~30 cm soil layer increased by 11.87%, 3.63% and 14.74%, respectively. Principal component analysis showed that the metabolic functions of carbon source between AC and AR were similar, and the metabolic functions of carbon source between PC and PS were similar in 15~30 cm soil layer. Both subsoiling and straw returning significantly increased wheat yield by 5.82% on average, and the microbial carbon metabolism function had a very significant correlation with wheat yield.
