Abstract:

To explore the effects of different nitrogen application treatments on the SPAD value, biomass and nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) of cotton leaves, through a 2-year field experiment, 5 nitrogen application levels (0, 120, 240, 360, 480 kg/hm2) were set to study the SPAD value of cotton leaves, the law of nitrogen absorption and distribution, and the change of biomass. The results showed that the SPAD value of cotton leaves increased with the increase of nitrogen application rate, and reached the maximum value under N4 treatment. The dilution model of cotton nitrogen concentration was established: Nc=3.02Wmax-0.24. The analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between SPAD and NNI of cotton leaves, and the correlation coefficient R2 was 0.05-0.74. It is proved that the simulation performance of the model at different growth stages of cotton is relatively good, and the correlation coefficient could reach the maximum at 97 days after seedling emergence. There is a significant positive correlation between the SPAD value of cotton leaves and the critical nitrogen concentration, which can be used as an index for cotton nitrogen nutrition diagnosis.

Key words: SPAD value, nitrogen nutrition index, dilution model, biomass
