Abstract:

A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of different amounts of soil conditioner on the improvement of low phosphorus red soil and the growth of Chinese cabbage. The results indicated that soil conditioner increased the number of soil aggregates, pH, total phosphorus, organic matter and cation exchange capacity, and the effects of 200% and 100% soil conditioner were the best, which were significantly higher than that of chemical fertilizer and phosphorus deficiency treatment. The dry weight of the aboveground and underground parts of Chinese cabbage treated with 200% soil conditioner was 83.3% and 81.3% of that of chemical fertilizer treatment, respectively, 4.48 times and 2.8 times of that of phosphorus deficiency treatment. Water-soluble sugar and reducing sugar content increased by 77.92% and 57.94% under 50% soil conditioner treatment compared with those under phosphorus deficiency treatment. The highest phosphorus content of the aboveground part of Chinese cabbage was 0.4% under 50% soil conditioner treatment, 42.86% higher than that of phosphorus deficiency treatment, and the phosphorus utilization rate was 26.7%. The results indicated that the phosphorus-based soil conditioner could partially replace phosphorus fertilizer, and the higher the amount of soil conditioner application, the better the improvement effect on low-phosphorus red soil.
