Abstract:

Field experiments were carried out to explore the effects of straw returning on rice yield and soil potassium balance, to provide a basis for straw returning and potassium use in double cropping rice area. The experiments were set in Tongcheng, Anhui in 2013 to 2015 with five treatments, including no fertilization (CK), no fertilization + straw returning (CK+S), fertilization (NPK), fertilization + straw returning (NPK+S) and nitrogen and phosphorus + 80% potassium + straw returning (NP+80%K+S). The results showed that there was no significant negative effect on rice yield among these treatments, and the rice yield under NP+80%K+S was not reduced. The apparent balance coefficient of potassium of CK+S, NPK and NPK+S was 0.90, 0.48 and 1.40, respectively. These results indicate that the application of chemical fertilizer can not inhibit the consumption of potassium by crops. The straw returning can increase the content of soil available potassium significantly, and improve the balance of soil potassium, which is important to maintain the local soil potassium level.

Key words: straw returning, double cropping rice, yield, potassium balance
