Effects of different growth stage application combinations of amendments on secondary salinized soil properties and sweet corn yield in Hexi Corridor
[Objective]To study the effects of different application combinations of Hexi Corridor saline-alkali soil improv on secondary saline-alkali soil improvement and sweet corn growth in Hexi Corridor,so as to determine the best application plan of improver.[Methods]Taking Tianyu 2 as the test crop,the effects of saline-alkali soil improv on seedling emergence rate,seedling preservation rate,plant height,stem diame-ter,plant fresh weight,yield composition,yield,economic benefit and soil saline-alkali index of sweet corn in the whole maize growth period were studied.[Results]The seedling emergence rate increased by 8.38%-11.00%when saline soil amendment was applied once with seeding water,and the seedling preservation rate increased by 13.31%-15.64%when saline soil amendment was applied twice with seeding water.The bald tip length of the third amendment was shortened by 44.30%,the rate of the first grade was up to 46.27%,and the yield and economic benefit were the best.Saline-alkali soil amendments applied in different periods can reduce soil saline-alkali indices,pH,EC and ESP by 0.15-0.35,31-146 μs/cm and 0.8%-4.8%,respectively.[Conclusion]In summary,the best application time scheme of Hokang saline-alkali soil improver for soil improvement is:sowing time+improver 37.5 kg/hm2,seedling stage+improver 30 kg/hm2,spinning stage+improver 15 kg/hm2.
