Effects of Different Organic Fertilizer Application on Vanilla Plant Growth and Soil Enzyme Activities
Field experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of different organic fertilizer application on vanilla (Vanilla planifolia Andrews) growth and soil enzyme activities.The main results obtained were listed as follows:(1) mixed application of bio-organic fertilizer (BIO) and organic fertilizer (OF) could obviously increase plant dry weight as compared with cattle manure(CK); (2)application of OF and BIO significantly increased electron transport rate and actual photochemical efficiency as compared with CK,but no significant difference was obtained among different OF and BIO treatments; (3)mixed application of BIO and OF obviously increased soil acidic phosphatase,urease and invertase activities as compared with CK.In conclusion,mixed application of OF and BIO could effectively promote vanilla plant growth,moreover,significantly increase soil enzyme activities.
