Abstract:

To study the differences of post-flowering photosynthetic characteristics, nitrogen utilization and yield formation of maize with different nitrogen fertilizer top-dressing methods under shallow-burial drip irrigation, the maize with one-time top-dressing (CK) and top-dressing by stages (NFQ) of nitrogen were taken as the research object, and the post-flowering leaf source characteristics, photosynthetic characteristics and nitrogen utilization, as well as the yield and yield components were compared and analyzed. The results showed that the post-flowering leaf source characteristics of NFQ were significantly better than those of CK from 2018 to 2020, and the leaf area index, chlorophyll SPAD value and leaf nitrogen content of NFQ increased by 6.35%, 11.02% and 5.34%, respectively. The post-flowering photosynthetic characteristics of NFQ were also significantly better than those of CK, and net photosynthetic rate, instantaneous light energy use efficiency, instantaneous water use efficiency and instantaneous carboxylation rate of NFQ increased by 6.98%, 4.28%, 20.49% and 12.73%, respectively. The nitrogen accumulation and transport amount of NFQ were significantly higher than those of CK, increased by 23.73% and 19.29% respectively; the yield of NFQ was significantly higher than that of CK, with an average increase of 9.40% in the experimental years, and the significant increase of kernel number per ear and 1000-kernel weight was the main reason for the yield increase. This study recommended that the suitable nitrogen fertilizer top-dressing method for maize production in the well-irrigated area of the West Liaohe Plain should be top-dressing at a ratio of 3:6:1 at the jointing stage, the big flare stage and the silking stage.

Key words: shallow-buried drip irrigation, top-dressing by stages, maize, nitrogen utilization, yield
