Abstract
It is urgent and necessary to provide techniques of economic application on fertilizers for nutrition improvement of Bt cotton and cotton production in coastal saline soil in the Yellow River Delta.The experiments were conducted with Bt cotton cultivar SCRC28 in coastal saline soil in the Yellow River Delta,Shandong province.The effects of different amounts and ratios of N,P and K,and N and P fertilizers on nutrient(N,P,and K) assimilation,Na+ assimilation,net photosynthetic rate(Pn),dry matter accumulation and lint yield of Bt cotton were investigated in three types(low,middle,and high levels of salinity) of coastal saline field.The results showed that nutrient uptake of Bt cotton in the treatments of NP,NPK especially,in low,middle and high levels of salinity field was significantly higher than that in corresponding controls.And the Na+ uptake of cotton in the same treatments was significantly lower than that in corresponding controls.Nutrient use efficiency in agronomy(NUEa) of cotton in the NPK treatment in low,middle and high levels of salinity field was the highest among the three treatments.NUEa of Bt cotton in the NPK treatment in low,middle and high levels of salinity field was 0.20,1.95,and 2.07 kg lint kg-1 N,0.87,8.35,and 8.71 kg Lint kg-1 P,and 0.26,2.89,and 3.77 kg Lint kg-1 K,respectively.The coordination of N,P,and K fertilizers could maintain the highest leaf area,chlorophyll content and Pn among the three treatments in low,middle and high levels of salinity field,respectively.The biomass yield and lint yield of Bt cotton in the NPK treatment in low,middle and high levels of salinity field were also the highest among the three treatments,respectively.The lint yield in the NPK treatments in low,middle,and high levels of salinity field was increased by 2.53%,28.67% and 30.47% compared to the control,respectively,than that in corresponding controls.And the fertilization effects in middle and high levels of salinity field were obviously better than those in low level of salinity field.Further analysis indicated,rational fertilizer application,based on classification of soil salinity,was an effective way to alleviate nutrition obstacles of saline soil,improve cotton nutrition,and enhance the NUEa and cotton yield in coastal saline fields.
