Effects of Fertilizer Reduction on Wheat Yield and Starch Particle Size Distribution Characteristics
In order to clarify the effect of fertilizer reduction on wheat yield and starch particle size distribution characteristics,seven fertilization treatments were set up with wheat varieties Longke 1109 and Yangmai 25 as materi-als.No nitrogen fertilizer(CK),farmer's customary nitrogen application rate(ternary compound fertilizer 750 kg/ha+topdressing 150 kg/ha urea,CF),slow-release fertilizer 900 kg/ha one-time base application(SF900),slow-re-lease fertilizer 750 kg/ha one-time base application(SF750),slow-release fertilizer 600 kg/ha one-time base applica-tion(SF600),slow-release fertilizer 750 kg/ha base application+topdressing 150 kg/ha urea(S750T),slow-release fertilizer 600 kg/ha base application+topdressing 150 kg/ha urea(S600T).The effects of slow-release fertilizers on grain yield and starch particle size distribution of wheat were analyzed.The results showed that under the condition of reducing fertilizer application,the spike number first increased and then decreased,the grain number per spike de-creased,the 1000-grain weight increased,and the yield of wheat under SF750 treatment was the highest.The content of wet gluten and protein decreased and the content of starch increased in two stubble.The volume and proportion of surface area of B-type starch in strong and weak grains first increased and then decreased,while the proportion of the volume and surface area of A-type starch grains decreased first and then increased in dry stubble.In rice stub-ble,While the proportion of the volume and surface area of B-type starch grains increased,while those of A-type starch grains decreased.The gelatinization parameters of the two stubble decreased.In summary,the reduction of fer-tilizer application mainly affects the grain size distribution of endosperm starch,decreases indicators such as gelatini-zation parameters,and increases grain yield and starch content,which further decreases the content of wet gluten and protein.Compared with the customary nitrogen application rate of farmers,reducing fertilizer application increa-ses wheat grain yield,increases wet gluten and protein content,and decreases starch content.
