It has been found that the enhancer contributes 30%, 50% and 50% augmentation of nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) and potassium (K) absorption respectively and about 20% of nitrate reductase and peroxide enzyme activities of crops. These results show that polyaspartate protease fertilizer enhancer could improve significantly the absorption and utilization efficiencies of soil nutrition and the activities of nitrate reductase and peroxide enzyme of crops, thus elevating the utilization rates of chemical fertilizers to a certain extent.展开更多

A long-term (over 20 years) experimental field study, started in 1989, was conducted to investigate the changes in soil Se fractions and its uptake by crops, as affected by different fertilizer practices, in the North China Plain with an annual crop rotation of winter wheat and summer maize. The long-term experiment was arranged in a complete randomized block design consisting of 4 replications with 7 fertilizer treatments: 1) organic compost (OC), 2) half organic compost plus half N-P-K chemical fertilizers (OC + NPK), 3) N-P-K fertilizers (NPK), 4) N-P fertilizers (NP), 5) P-K fertilizers (PK), 6) N-K fertilizers (NK), and 7) an un-amended control. Soil samples from the surface (20 cm) were collected in 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004 and 2009 to characterize Se and other soil properties. In 2009, the average soil Se concentrations in the treatments (149 ± 8 beg kg-1) were higher than those in the soil samples collected in 1989 at the beginning of the experiment (112 4- 4 beg kg-1), and decreased in the order of OC 〉 OC + NPK 〉 NPK NP 〉 PK NK 〉 control. Sequential extraction showed the oxidizable fraction (50.06%± 3.94%) was the dominant form of Se in the soil, followed by the residual fraction (24.12% ± 2.89%), exchangeable fraction (15.09% ± 4.34%) and Fe-Mn oxides fraction (10.73%±4.04%). With an increase of soil K, the exchangeable Se concentrations in the soil increased. The Se concentrations in the soil tillage layer (0-20 cm) were mainly related to soil organic carbon (SOC), although different contributions came from atmospheric deposition, irrigation and fertilizers. With the accumulation of SOC, the uptakes of soil Se by two crops were inhibited. For the OC and OC + NPK treatments, Se concentrations in wheat grains were lower than the critical standard of Se in stable food (100 μg kg·1]. Additionallv. Se concentrations in grains were also decreased by the deficiencies of major soil nutrients, especially P.展开更多
