摘要
Inefficient fertilizer use can lead to deficient soil nutrition. There is little information on whether human urine （ALW） can be used as a nutrient source in crop cultivation. A study was conducted to explore the potential of human urine in cultivation of radish （Raphanus sativus L.）. The ALW was provided to radish in a pot trial. Comparison was with combinations of using synthetic fertilizers. Human urine contained N （0.45%）, P （0.18%）, K （0.16%）, Ca （4.25 me Ll）, Mg （5.15 me L＂t） and Na （0.36%）. The highest available nutrients N, P and K contents in soil at harvest, and the more number of leaves, tallest, root length, root yield and root diameter were from the in 3：1 ALW--three parts of ALW （human urine and one part of water used pot）. Water treatment applied in two splits compared to the recommended fertilizer rate （75：37.5：37.5 kg hal of N, P and K） and absolute control （no fertilizer and no ALW added）.
