Abstract:

According to current status of chemical fertilizer application in peach orchards in Linyi, this paper explores the impact of organic fertilizer replacing part of chemical fertilizer on soil nutrient content, tree nutrient level, fruit quality and yield in peach orchards, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for reducing the use of chemical fertilizer, and improving soil environment in peach orchards and peach fruit quality. A field experiment was carried out in 6-year-old peach orchards. Three gradients of organic fertilizer replacing amount of 40%, 70% and 100% were set to determine the effects of organic fertilizer replacing chemical fertilizer on peach yield, quality and soil fertility compared with the whole application of chemical fertilizers. The results showed that in peach production, the organic fertilizer replacing amount of 40% in peach orchards about 6-year-old was more appropriate, which could promote the vegetative growth and development of peach trees most obviously and improve the fruit quality significantly, and the yield was also the highest. The yield increased by 5961.0 kg/hm2 compared with that under the application of chemical fertilizer alone, with an increase rate of 17.6%; and the yield increased by 7105.5 kg/hm2 compared with that under the application of organic fertilizer alone, with an increase rate of 21.0%. Therefore, organic fertilizer replacing chemical fertilizer by 40% is recommended for popularization in peach production in Linyi.
