Abstract:

To conduct scientific fertilization and realize high yield and high quality production of lettuce, we took routine fertilization as a control group, and carried out pot experiment to study the effects of different amounts of biochar-based fertilizer combined with chemical fertilizer on the yield, physiological characteristics, nitrate reductase (NR), vitamin C (Vc) and nitrate content. The results showed that the yield of lettuce under the application of chemical fertilizer was the highest, which reached 305.74 g/pot, increased by 24.42% compared with that of the control group. Compared with those of the control group, the SPAD, net photosynthetic rate and nitrate reductase increased by 8.48%, 64.53% and 29.59%, respectively. The Vc of lettuce was 132.00 mg/kg, which was 15.79% higher than that of the control. The nitrate content of lettuce decreased by 10.88% with the combination of chemical fertilizer and high-amount biochar-based fertilizer. The reduction of fertilizer reduced the nitrate content of lettuce by 15.38%-22.38%, and the nitrate content of lettuce could be significantly reduced under the combination application of fertilizer reduction and biochar-based fertilizer. The combined application of chemical fertilizer and high biochar-based fertilizer could significantly increase the yield of lettuce, promote the photosynthetic capacity and improve the quality of lettuce.
