Abstract: Field experiments were conducted to study the effects of different organic and inorganic nitrogen (N) fertilizers on soil microorganism and enzyme activity of typical vegetable soil for pakchoi and lettuce across three years from 2011 to 2013,using pig manure,biogas manure and pig manure composting as materials,including no fertilizer (CK),no N fertilizer (PK),chemical fertilizer (NPK),organic and inorganic fertilizer 1 (20% pig manure N + 80% chemical fertilizer N,NPKM1),organic and inorganic fertilizer 2 (20% biogas manure N + 80% chemical fertilizer N,NPKM2)and organic and inorganic fertilizer 3 (20% pig manure composting N + 80% chemical fertilizer N,NPKM3). Results showed that soil bacteria number was on the rise,while soil fungi and actinomycetes number appeared to rise first and then fall later during vegetable growing season,and the microbial population in following season were higher than that of previous season. Compared with NPK treatment,NPKM1,NPKM2,NPKM3 treatments increased soil bacteria number by 2.27%-26.16% (Pakchoi),15.06%-40.82% (Lettuce); soil fungi number by 33.62%-47.10% (Pakchoi),39.64%-52.27% (Lettuce); soil actinomyces number by 6.59%-38.21% (Pakchoi),20.97%-29.66% (Lettuce). Organic and inorganic N fertilizer application could promote the reproducing of soil microorganisms in vegetable field. Compared with NPK treatment,NPKM1,NPKM2,NPKM3 treatments increased the activities of soil urease,phosphatase,catalase,and cellulase. Organic and inorganic N fertilizer application could promote the improvement of soil enzyme activity in vegetable field. The yield of each treatment were among 6.73-22.50 t/ha(Pakchoi) and 21.54-47.79 t/ha(Lettuce),and in the range of NPKM3 > NPKM1 > NPKM2 > NPK > PK > CK. Correlation analysis showed that there was a close relationship between soil microorganism quantity,enzyme activity and yield for pakchoi and lettuce. In conclusion,organic and inorganic N application,especially pig manure composting,could effectively improve the soil microbial population and enzyme activities,and maintain high soil fertility plantation,facilitating the sustainable development and efficient production of vegetable.
