Abstract:
Cultivation experiments with sand filter pipe have been carried out to study the effect of different dosage of bentonite on sandy soil fertility. The results showed that the reasonable dosage of bentonite could improve the physical and chemical property of sand soil. If the percentage of the dosage of bentonite added to sandy soil is up to by 20%, the moisture of the treated sandy soil would raise by 20%, the enzyme activity of hydro-genperoxidase would doubled than before. On the basis of this case, if organic materials have been added to the treatments, the water content of sand soil would raise by 16 %, and the content of organic matter would improve by 20 %, the enzyme activity of hydrogenperoxidase would increase 1.1 times of that of before. What' s more, use of bentonite was beneficial to improvement of the total of humic acid and fumic acid. It can decrease the decomposition rate of organic substance and improve humification coefficient, so it can raise the quantity and quality of organic matter and improve the sandy soil fertility.
