Effects of Sinochem Microbial Organic Fertilizer on Tea Plants

[Objectives]This study was conducted to explore the application effects of Sinochem microbial organic fertilizer on tea plants.[Methods]Through the experiment and demonstration of Sinochem microbial organic fertilizer,its effects on the yield and quality of tea and the physical and chemical quality of soil were explored.[Results]Compared with the conventional organic fertilizer cake fertilizer,the fertilizer could increase the weight of freshly picked bud leaves,increase the yield of tea,and thus promote the growth of tea plants.It increased the contents of chlorophyll components,amino acids and tea polyphenols,the main functional substances of tea,which was conducive to improving the internal quality of tea.It improved the physical and chemical properties of soil,and increased the contents of organic matter,alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen and available phosphorus in tea garden soil.It also had a good effect in improving soil environmental health indexes and physical and chemical properties,and did not contain heavy metals and plant growth hormones.[Conclusions]This study provides a theoretical basis for the popularization and application of Sinochem microbial organic fertilizer.

Effect of Fertilization on Tomato Bacterial Wilt Biocontrolling and Soil Health Restoration Using FAME Analysis

The effect of applying biological organic fertilizer(BOF)on bacterial wilt incidence of tomato and soil microbial community under continuous cropping was studied. The results showed that all the tomatoes were infected by bacterial wilt in the control. The infection rates of tomatoes in the treatments with un-composted BOF and decomposed BOF were 55 and 50% respectively. Fatty acid methyl esters(FAME)analysis indicated soil microbial community changed sensitively after applying BOF. Soil FAME total content, relative fungi content and ratio of fungi to bacteria were significantly increased in both BOF treatments. The soil odd-number fatty acid proportion changed after applying BOF, aC15 : 0, iC17 : 0 decreased, while cyC17 : 0 increased in soil odd-number fatty acid proportion. BOF application would strengthen soil health and disease suppression. The content of C16 : 1 11c in soil microbial community was obviously increased after decomposed BOF application. It indicated that the growth of AM fungi could be enhanced with decomposed BOF application. FAME microbial biomarkers could be used for an indicator of soil health and disease suppression. Odd-number fatty acid proportion was a sensitive indicator of the effect of applying un-composted and decomposed BOF respectively on soil health regulating.
