Abstract:

Soil enzymes play an important role in maintaining the function of soil ecosystem. Exploring the relationship between soil enzyme activities and soil physicochemical properties can clarify the changes of soil environment after fertilization, which is of significance to guide the rational fertilization in rice field. An experiment with three treatments, conventional fertilization (the control), application of controlled release fertilizer (ACRF), and combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizer (NPKM), was conducted. The variations of different fertilizer applications in rice field during winter fallow period on three soil enzymes (sucrase, urease and acid phosphatase) activities were studied, using the classical statistical analysis and redundancy analysis to explore the difference of soil enzymes activities in different treatments and their relationships with soil physicochemical properties. The classical statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences of rice yield, soil physicochemical properties and soil enzyme activities among different treatments at the two experimental sites. Taken as a whole, the rice yield of ACRF and NPKM treatments were higher than that of CF treatment, and the range was between 2.0% and 7.3%. The physicochemical properties of soil under NPKM treatment were improved to a large extent. And the activities of three enzymes were NPKM > CF, NPKM > ACRF. Redundancy analysis indicated that the seven physicochemical properties explained 90.81% of the variations in soil enzyme activities in the first two axes, showing that the first two axes could well reflect the relationship between soil enzyme activities and soil physicochemical properties. And an extremely obvious relationship existed between pH, SOC (soil organic corban) and soil enzyme activities. In these soil physicochemical properties, SOC was a key factor causing the difference of soil enzyme activities, followed by pH. Under the condition of this experiment, the application of controlled-release fertilizer or the combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizer can better increase rice yield and soil quality.
