Abstract:

The excessive application of chemical fertilizer can degrade vegetable quality and reduce fertilizer utilization rate, so we investigated the appropriate replacement ratio of chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer and the suitable kinds of organic fertilizers in Sucheng, and studied the effects of partial replacement of chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer on eggplant yield, quality and soil fertility. The results showed that 40% of chemical fertilizer replacement with organic fertilizer was better than 30% replacement. Compared with the conventional fertilization, the yield of organic fertilizer replacement was increased by 5.17%, the nitrogen use efficiency was increased by 10.49%, the eggplant soluble sugar content was increased by 9.09%, Vc content was increased by 12.31%, nitrate content was decreased by 7.09%, soil organic matter content was increased by 17.06%, and alkaline soil pH decreased by 2.92%. The study suggests that reducing nitrogen fertilizer and increasing organic fertilizer are effective ways to improve eggplant yield, quality and soil fertility. Baikenong organic fertilizer is suitable for improving soil fertility, and Wolubao organic fertilizer is suitable for improving eggplant quality.

Key words: organic fertilizer, eggplant, yield, quality, soil fertility
