Abstract:

In order to improve the production and quality of lotus root, we studied organic and inorganic on two kinds of lotus root through different methods, including growth, quality and efficiency of fertilization. The results showed that, the organic fertilizer treatment was better than the inorganic fertilizer treatment. It had the following advantages: lotus root thick stem, root hypertrophy, internode short, the single main lotus heavy, low fiber content, rich in vitamin and reducing sugars, low nitrate content. The application organic fertilizer of the lotus had good quality, high yield and good benefits. In short, the application of organic fertilizers would not only increase production of lotus root, but also to improve quality.
