Abstract:
      A randomized block experiment was conducted to study the effects of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) and their combined application on nutrient absorption, fertilizer utilization efficiency, and yield of seed maize production. The experiment included no fertilizer (CK), N deficiency (PK), P deficiency (NK), K deficiency (NP), combination N, P, and K (NPK). The results showed that the combined N, P, and K application obviously promoted biomass accumulation and yield of maize seed production, the yield of NPK treatment reached 9 834.0 kg·hm-2, the yields of N deficiency (PK), P deficiency (NK), and K deficiency (NP) treatments decreased by 6.06%, 10.07%, and 4.88%, respectively, compared with NPK treatment. The limiting factors of yield were P, N, and K in order. The utilization efficiency of N, P, and K fertilizer under NPK treatment were 22.64%, 26.82%, and 60.10%, respectively. The agronomic efficiency of N, P, and K fertilizer was 1.33 kg·kg-1 of N, 7.17 kg·kg-1 of P2O5, and 6.66 kg·kg-1 of K2O, respectively. Therefore, we should pay attention to the application of P and K fertilizer and strengthen the management of N fertilizer for maize seed production in Hexi region.
