Effects of Bio-organic Fertilizer Combined with Chemical Fertilizer Reduction on Soil Nutrients and Tobacco Yield and Quality
To reduce the excessive application of chemical fertilizers and improve the soil fertility and tobacco production efficiency in Yizhang County,Hunan Province,a field experiment using flue-cured tobacco variety'K326'as material was conducted to study the effects of different proportions of bio-organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers reduction on soil nutrients and the yield and quality of tobacco.The results showed that the increasing appropriate proportion of bio-organic fertilizers combined with chemical fertilizers reduction could improve soil fertility and promote the growth of tobacco plants.And tobacco plants growth agronomic traits,sensory evaluation of smoking,yield,output value and the first-class proportion of tobacco leaves showed a trend of rising firstly and then falling with the increase of proportion of bio-organic fertilizers combined with chemical fertilizers reduction.Among them,the T2 treatment with 20%reduction in chemical topdressing showed the best growth characteristics and leaf quality of tobacco plants.Compared with the control of conventional fertilization(CK),tobacco plant height,effective leaf number and maximum leaf area of T2 treatment were increased by 8.24%-17.00%,13.81%-23.22%and 12.63%-16.86%,respectively.The contents of total sugar and potassium in C3F tobacco leaves reached 26.51%-30.01%and 2.16%-2.86%,respectively.The C3F and B2F tobacco leaves sensory evaluation of smoking increased by 1.67%-2.98%and 3.12%-4.10%,respectively.The yield,first-class proportion and output value of tobacco leaves were increased by 3.76%-6.58%,3.38%-3.79%and 8.24%-9.58%,respectively.The results provided a scientific reference for the application of bio-organic fertilizers combined with chemical fertilizers reduction in tobacco-growing areas of southern Hunan Province.
