Abstract:

To scientifically reduce the amount of chemical fertilizer application and improve the soil structure and environment, we used ‘L600’ watermelon as the research object, and set up four treatments including bio-organic fertilizer combined with silicon-calcium-potassium-magnesium fertilizer and reducing the amount of base fertilizer and chemical fertilizer. Conventional fertilization was used as the control to study the effects of the above fertilizers on the yield, quality and soil nutrients of watermelon. The results showed that: compared with conventional fertilization, the combined application of bio-organic fertilizer with silicon-calcium-potassium-magnesium fertilizer could increase watermelon yield by 8.05%, heart sugar content by 13.08%, side sugar content by 5.77%, vitamin C content by 18.57%, and decrease the total acid content by 31.25% and nitrate content by 18.22%. The combined application of the two fertilizers had positive effects on improving the soil environment, and the soil pH, available phosphorus content and available potassium content were significantly higher than those of conventional fertilization. Under these conditions, reducing the application of base fertilizer and chemical fertilizer could ensure the yield and quality of watermelon, which is an effective method of reducing fertilizer application.

Key words: watermelon, reduced fertilization, bio-organic fertilizer, fertilizer of silicon-calcium-potassium-magnesium, yield, quality, soil nutrient
