Abstract:

The effect of potato starch processing wastewater on soil properties and corn growth was studied to explore the optimal amount of wastewater returned to field. 5 treatments were set up including groundwater 3000 m3/hm2(W1, CK), wastewater 600 m3/hm2 (W2), wastewater 900 m3/hm2(W3), wastewater 1200 m3/hm2(W4), wastewater 3000 m3/hm2(W5). Soil aggregates, N, P, K, organic matter, enzymes, and corn emergence rate and yield under different treatments were analyzed. The results showed that: the content of soil water-stable aggregates of 0.25-2 mm size increased firstly and then decreased with the increase of wastewater irrigation amount, increased by 14.90%, 17.04%, 4.09% and 16.67% respectively under W2, W3, W4 and W5 compared with that of CK. Irrigation with wastewater for 1 year, the content of alkaline nitrogen, available potassium, available phosphorus and soil organic matter in the 0-20 cm surface soil were both higher than those in CK. The activities of catalase, urease and phosphatase reached the highest respectively under W4, W2 and W4, increased by 9.64%, 5.34% and 17.24%. The rate of maize emergence was reduced when wastewater irrigation exceeded 1200 m3/hm2. Maize yield reached the highest under W3 in 2018 and 2019, which were 69171 and 59404.5 kg/hm2, respectively. Among them, the optimal wastewater irrigation amount is 900 m3/hm2.
