Effects of different application amount of water-soluble fertilizer on peach growth and development and fruit quality
The three-year-old peach'Xiandao 11'was used as the test material,and six fertiliser gradients of 0(water control),200,350,500,650 and 800 g/plant were set up to observe and measure the growth and development of peach trees,changes in fruit quality,aroma,and economic benefits of different fertiliser applications,with the aim of selecting the optimal fertiliser application,providing a basis for the use of the production,reducing the wastage of resources and soil pollution,and saving the cost of fertiliser.The results showed that the stomatal conductance and leaf area of peach leaves were significantly increased by 21.74%and 79.76%,respectively,compared with the control;the weight of single fruit,transverse diameter and longitudinal diameter increased by 23.42%,7.43%and 1.99%,respectively,compared with the control;the content of soluble solids reached 18.39%,and the economic benefits were also significantly improved.The ranking by the affiliation function method concluded that 350 g/plant was the optimal fertiliser application amount.
