Abstract:

To explore the reasonable fertilization way and provide evidence for the feasibility of organic fertilizer substitution, the authors conducted the partially substitution of inorganic fertilizer by organic fertilizer in three consecutive seasons and studied the effects on the content of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, available potassium, available phosphorus and organic matter in soil, as well as the distribution and migration characteristics of nutrients in each soil profile. The results showed that the total nitrogen, total phosphorus, organic matter and available phosphorus in soil were mainly accumulated in the 0-20 cm soil layer and decreased with the soil depth after the treatment of different types of fertilizers for three consecutive cropping seasons. The effect of 20% dried pig manure substitution was not significant in the early stage, but the nutrients’ content increased significantly in the later stage. The nutrient contents of 20% treatment (20% reduced fertilization + commercial organic fertilizer) in 0-20 and 20-40 cm soil layers were higher than those of NPK treatment (farmer conventional). The total nitrogen, total phosphorus, available phosphorus and organic matter obviously migrated, and the accumulated leaching loss in 20-40 cm soil layer was slight. In conclusion, the substitution of inorganic fertilizer by commercial organic fertilizer could balance the nutrients’ distribution, improve the comprehensive fertility of soil and play a role in soil fertility cultivation.

Key words: organic fertilizer substitution, field positioning, soil profile, soil nutrients, soil fertility, nutrient migration
