Abstract:

To explore the effect of alginate enhancing solution on the photosynthetic characteristics and yield of winter wheat, four different concentration treatments were set during the regreening stage, jointing stage and booting stage of winter wheat, which were 0 mg/kg (CK), 30 mg/kg (N30), 60 mg/kg (N60) and 90 mg/kg (N90). The indexes such as chlorophyll content, grain filling rate, dry matter accumulation and distribution, photosynthetic characteristics and yield among different treatments were studied. The results showed that spraying alginate enhancing solution could significantly increase the chlorophyll content of wheat flag leaves and the grain filling rate, especially in the late stage of flowering, it still maintained a significant advantage compared with CK. The dry matter accumulation of stem sheath + leaves, ear shaft + glume, grain and distribution ratio were significantly higher than those of CK, among which the advantage of N30 treatment at the jointing stage was the most obvious. In photosynthesis, spraying alginate enhancing solution significantly increased the net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs) and transpiration rate (Tr) of flag leaves, reduced the intercellular carbon dioxide concentration (Ci) of flag leaves, keeping the crops at a high photosynthetic rate all the time. In terms of yield and composition factors, there were no significant differences in the number of spikes and grains per spike among different concentration treatments compared with CK, but the thousand grain weight and yield were significantly higher than CK. Among them, spraying alginate enhancing solution at 30 mg/kg at the jointing stage had the best yield-increasing effect, with a yield of 8811.96 kg/hm2, which was 12.01% higher than that of the CK treatment in the same growth period. In summary, spraying alginate enhancing solution at 30 mg/kg at the jointing stage is a more reasonable fertilization scheme.
