Abstract:

To solve the problem of excessive fertilization input in Tie Guanyin tea garden, a field experiment was conducted in Anxi County to analyze the effects of different fertilization modes (farmers’ practice, optimized fertilization and special fertilizer treatment) on yield, quality, nutrient absorption and environmental cost of Tie Guanyin tea garden from 2018 to 2019. The results showed that: (1) compared with the farmers’ practice (FP), the yield, economic benefit, NPK concentration of young shoot and nutrient take away amount of the optimized fertilization (Opt-NPK) had no significant difference, the special fertilizer treatment (SF) of oolong tea significantly increased bud density compared with the optimized fertilization treatment; (2) compared with the FP treatment, the partial productivity of NPK fertilizers in the Opt-NPK treatment increased by 63.8%, 112.4% and 106.6%, respectively, and that of SF treatment increased by 72.3%, 123.3% and 117.3%, respectively; (3) the apparent surplus of NPK fertilizers in the Opt-NPK treatment was reduced by 48.0%, 58.0% and 65.8% compared with the FP treatment, respectively, the apparent surplus of NPK fertilizers in the SF treatment was reduced by 48.8%, 58.0% and 65.8% compared with the FP treatment, respectively; (4) compared with the FP treatment, the environmental impacts were also significantly reduced, for the per unit output of Opt-NPK treatment, the reactive N loss, greenhouse gas emission, acidification and eutrophication averagely decreased by 37.6%, 36.1%, 37.5% and 37.7%, respectively, and those of special fertilizer treatment averagely decreased by 42.4%, 41.0%, 42.3% and 42.5%, respectively. Reducing the amount of fertilizer has no effect on the yield, bud density and hundred bud weight of tea, in addition, it could guarantee of the stable absorption and utilization of nutrients, tea quality and economic benefits, and increase the fertilizer utilization rate and decrease the apparent surplus of NPK nutrients and environmental cost. Meanwhile, the application of magnesium could improve tea bud density, which was effective to the sustainable development of Tie Guanyin tea.
