Effect of Rhodotorula glutinis Fertilizer on Ricinus communis's Quantitative Characters and Oil Content in Seed
In order to study the effect of Rhodotorula glutinis fertilizer on the quantitative characters and seed oil content in seed,three treatments such as Rhodotorula glutinis microbial fertilizer,chemical fertilizer of compound elements and control were carried out both in pot and field experiments. Plant height and diameter during the growth period,seed size and its water content in fresh seed and oil content in dry seed after harvested were detected. The results demonstrated that Rhodotorula glutinis fertilizer promoted the Ricinus communis sprout growth and the seed oil content,and inhibited the mature plant,seed size and its fresh weight. The seed oil content of Ricinus communis treating with Rhodotorula glutinis microbial fertilizer was 40.33%,significantly higher than that in control treatment.
