Effects on Yield and Quality of Potato and Soil Nutrients:Iron and Zinc Fertilizers
In order to explore the combined application amount of micro-fertilizer for high-quality and high-yield potato in the arid agricultural area of Longzhong,the effects of iron and zinc fertilizer on potato yield,quality and soil nutrient were studied.The two-factor random block design was adopted,with zinc and iron fertilizer as the test factors,and three fertilization levels were set for zinc and iron fertilizer,namely:zinc fertilizer(0,20,40 kg/hm2)and iron fertilizer(0,10,20 kg/hm2),a total of 9 treatments.The results showed that single application of iron and zinc fertilizer and their interaction had significant effects on potato yield,quality and soil available zinc and iron content(P<0.05).Among them,the yields of Fe2Zn0 and Fe0Zn2 increased by 15.0%and 19.5%compared with Fe0Zn0,and the yield of Fe2Zn2 increased by 21.5%compared with Fe0Zn0.Fe2Zn0 increased the iron content by 12.4%compared with Fe0Zn0,and the zinc and iron content of Fe0Zn2 increased by 10.8%and 9.8%compared with Fe0Zn0.The yield,starch,iron and zinc content of Fe2Zn2 were significantly increased by 21.5%,3.4%,17.3%and 13.6%compared with Fe0Zn0,respectively.In the 0-10 and 10-30 cm soil layers,the available iron content of Fe2Zn0 was significantly increased by 15.0%and 4.0%compared with Fe0Zn0,the available zinc content of Fe2Zn2 was significantly increased by 104.2%and 42.9%compared with Fe0Zn0.Considering comprehensively,under the conditions of this experiment,the single application rates of iron and zinc micro-fertilizer were 20 kg/hm2 and 40 kg/hm2,respectively,and the combined application rate of iron fertilizer was 20 kg/hm2 and zinc fertilizer 40 kg/hm2 had the best effect,which was conducive to improving potato quality and increasing yield.
