The abundance-deficiency index of soil P and recommended phosphorus fertilizer application rates for grain and forage barley in China
To provide scientific basis for soil testing and P fertilizer recommendation of barley,an algorithm for scattered experi-mental data integration and the new applied formula based on"the methods of nutrient balance and projected yield minus soil fertility yield"were employed to study the abundance-deficiency index(ADI)of soil P and the recommended phosphorus fertil-izer application rate(RPFAR)for barley in China.The results showed that the ADI of soil available phosphorus(Olsen-P)for barley in China from the first to the eighth level were≥40.7,24.2~40.7,14.4~24.2,8.6~14.4,5.1~8.6,3.0~5.1,1.8~3.0 and<1.8 mg/kg,respectively.When the phosphorus fertilizer use efficiency in current season(PFUEICS)was 15%~35%and the target yield of grain barley was3~7.5 t/hm2,the ranges of the RPFAR for the abundance-deficiency level1~8 from high to low were 0,9~50,17~100,26~150,34~200,43~250,51~300 and 60~350 kg/hm2,respectively.When the PFUEICS was15%~35%andthetargetyieldofbarleyhaywas6~15 t/hm2,therangesofthe RPFARfortheabundance-de-ficiency level 1~8 from high to low were 0,9~50,17~100,26~150,34~200,43~250,51~300 and 60~350 kg/hm2,re-spectively.When the PFUEICS was15%~35%and the target yield of barley silage was15~45 t/hm2,the ranges of the RP-FAR for the abundance-deficiency level 1~8 from high to low were 0,7~51,15~102,22~153,29~204,36~255,44~306 and 51~357 kg/hm2,respectively.In this study,the recommended fertilization system of soil available phosphorus for grain and forage barley in China was established,and it laid a scientific foundation for soil testing and phosphorus fertilization of barley in China.
