Abstract:

In order to simplify the determination method of fertilizer application rate and accurately match the types and proportions of fertilizers. Utilizing a modified formula for calculating fertilizer rate, a trade-off selection method for determining fertilizer rate and a relative abundance method for matching type ratios were established. The trade-off selection method was used to calculate the required fertilizer rate for planting corn, wheat, and peanuts in sandy black calcareous soil, loamy black calcareous soil, and typical black soil in the Northeast Black Soil Region, which are close to the actual local fertilizer rate and indicate that the local fertilizer rate are not excessive. The relative abundance method was used to calculate the mixing or compound fertilizer ratios needed for different crops in various plots, recommending a N:P2O5:K2O ratio of 25:10:15 for preparing mixed or compound fertilizers for corresponding soil types in the Northeast Black Soil Region to match suitable fertilizer rate. Under the scenario where the amount of available nutrients supplied from the soil equals the loss from the applied fertilizer, the fertilization rate should follow the principle,how much is needed for crops growing, how much to apply.
