Effects of Organic Fertilizer Substitution for Basal Chemical Nitrogen on Photosynthetic Performance,Yield,and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Rainfed Maize
Under a controlled nitrogen application rate of 200 kg/ha,4 organic fertilizer substitute bases were set to apply fertilizer nitrogen ratio:100%fertilizer(T1),50%fertilizer+50%organic fertilizer(50%organic substitu-tion,T2),62.5%fertilizer+37.5%organic fertilizer(37.5%organic substitution,T3),and a treatment without nitro-gen application(T4).The regulation effect of different organic substitution ratio on rained maize yield and nitrogen use efficiency was studied.The results showed at the filling stage,the activities of ribo-1,5-diphosphate carboxyl-ase oxygenase(Rubisco),phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase(PEPC)and pyruvate phosphate double kinase(PPDK)were increased by 22.3%,16.7%and 16.0%,respectively,compared with that of single fertilizer treatment.The grain yield and the nitrogen use efficiency under 37.5%organic substitute treatment was significantly increased compared with single fertilizer and 50%organic substitute treatment.In conclusion,under the nitrogen application level of 200 kg/ha,37.5%organic fertilizer substitution of basal chemical N fertilizer can improve the leaf area in-dex and photosynthetic key enzyme activities of rainfed maize at filling stage,and improve the nitrogen use efficien-cy while ensuring stable yield.
