Abstract: The study aimed to optimize the fertilization system, make the crop fertilizer formula scientific, improve the soil fertility levels and realize the sustainable land utilization. A long-term field experiment was conducted to study the effects of formulated fertilization on crop yield and soil nutrient contents in Hedong District of Linyi City from 2006 to 2013. The results showed that crop yield significantly increased while fertilizer input sharply decreased with formulated fertilization, comparing to conventional fertilization. The soil alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen and available potassium contents of both treatments were higher in 2013 than 2006. However, compared to formulated fertilization, the increase amplitudes of soil alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen in conventional fertilization treatment from 2006 to 2013 were higher, while the increase amplitudes of available potassium were lower. The soil available phosphorus had no significant change from 2006 to 2010, but showed a tendency of decreasing since 2010. The soil available P was relatively stable of conventional fertilization from 2006 to2013. Soil testing and formula fertilization could not only reduce the fertilizer input, but also increase the crop yield and promote the soil nutrients balanced by adjusting the use level of N, P and K fertilizer.
