Abstract: Using forage mulberry (Morus alba L.) variety ‘Qinglong’ as experimental material, effects of nitrate and ammonium nitrogen proportion on Pn-PAR response curve and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and electrons dissipation of mulberry seedlings cultured in hydroponics were investigated under the same nitrogen amount. The results showed that under normal atmospheric CO2 concentration, some energy dissipated of mulberry seedlings by heat dissipation, when the NH4 -N:NO3--N was at 75:25 to 50:50, more energy was taken advantage by photochemical, and NO3--N increase led to the heat dissipation rise obviously. When NH4 -N:NO3--N was at 100:0, the value of J0 reached the top, and then the value of Jc got up to the top when NH4 -N:NO3--N was at 75:25. The distribution of excitation energy imbalance coefficient (β/α-1) declined to the minimum, while the distribution of excitation coefficient reached the balance. The (ФPSⅡ) got up to the top when the NH4 -N:NO3--N changed from 50:50 to 25:75, and the (ФNPQ) was at the minimum value. The study could provide the basis for appropriate nitrogen application in mulberry cultivation.
