Abstract:

The paper aims to identify reasonable measures to optimize the allocation of fertilizer resources and reduce the fertilizer consumption in orchards. We predicted the amount of fertilizer applied in apple orchards in Shaanxi based on GM(1,1) model combined with the current fertilization situation and nutrient efficient management measures. The results showed that: according to the model prediction, the consumption of pure nutrients N, P2O5 and K2O in apple orchards in Shaanxi would reach 872800, 552900 and 386400 t, respectively, in 2025, 74.3% more than the current amount; if the recommended fertilization could be carried out in all the orchards by 2025, the amount of fertilizer N, P2O5, K2O would be cut by 362100 t, accounting for 20% of the predicted consumption; when the fertigation area reached 20% of the total planted area in 2025, the amount of N, P2O5, K2O would be cut by 181200 t, accounting for 10% of the total predicted consumption. Therefore, the promotion of recommended fertilization or fertigation in orchards can significantly reduce fertilizer consumption, which is beneficial to the sustainable development of orchards in China.

Key words: GM(1,1) model, apple orchard, recommended fertilization, fertigation, fertilizer consumption, chemical fertilizer reduction
