Abstract:

The effect of pipeline trunk transfusion and drip fertilizers on the nutritional growth and photosynthetic characteristics of Chinese chestnut was explored in this paper, with a view to providing a theoretical basis for the application of this technology in Chinese chestnut cultivation. The test was conducted with the 3-year-old Chinese chestnut cultivar ‘Yanzi’ as the material and set up 3 fertilization periods and 3 fertilization concentrations to carry out a 3-factor, 3-level orthogonal test. The test was conducted with no fertilizer as control (CK) and a total of 10 treatments. The results showed that pipeline trunk transfusion and drip fertilizers significantly improved branch growth indexes compared to CK treatment. Moreover, fertilization in early May (T1) significantly affected branch length, thickness, and internode length, and fertilization in early-mid June (T2) affected branch thickness. The promotional effects of pipeline trunk transfusion and drip fertilizers on the photosynthetic properties of Chinese chestnut leaves increased with increasing fertilizer application. Comprehensive evaluation and analysis by entropy weight-TOPSIS method revealed that the C9 treatment with N4 concentration (35.55 g MS powder+ 2.775 g CH4N2O+ 8.025 g KH2PO4+ 5 L of water) of water-soluble fertilizers applied at all the three periods of T1, T2, and T3, respectively, was found to be the best fertilizer application. In conclusion, the pipeline trunk transfusion and drip fertilizers had a significant promotion effect on the nutritional growth and photosynthetic characteristics of Chinese chestnuts; the C9 treatment was the most favorable to the nutritional growth and photosynthetic characteristics of Chinese chestnuts.
