Short-term effects of different fertilization measures on water-stable aggregates and carbon and nitrogen of tea garden soil

Abstract

In order to study the effects of different fertilization measures on spring tea soil in Southwest Sichuan, five treatments were set up, including no fertilization (CK), full chemical nitrogen fertilizer (CN), 50% nitrogen fertilizer +30% organic fertilizer +20% green fertilizer + microbial fertilizer (NOGM), 50% nitrogen fertilizer +30% organic fertilizer +20% green fertilizer (NOG), 50% nitrogen fertilizer +50% organic fertilizer + microbial fertilizer (NOM). Through the determination of the distribution, organic carbon and total nitrogen content of water stable aggregates, calculated the aggregate stability and carbon and nitrogen contribution rate. The results showed that :(1) compared with CK, fertilization could improve the organic carbon and total nitrogen of soil and the organic carbon and total nitrogen of the aggregates of all sizes. Different fertilization measures had different effects on the distribution of aggregates, but compared with CK, fertilization effectively promoted the stability of aggregates. Fertilization can obviously increased the content of organic carbon and total nitrogen in large aggregates. The contribution rate of organic carbon and total nitrogen in aggregates was mainly from macroaggregates, while that from micro-aggregates was very low. NOGM and NOM were better than other fertilization measures.
