Abstract:

In order to explore the effects of different planting densities and potassium(K)application rates on dry matter accumulation and translocation,yield and K use efficiency of maize in the typical black soil region of Northeast China,the two-year continuous located experiment was studied the effects of different planting densities(D1:5.5×104 plants/ha,D2:7.0×104 plants/ha and D3:8.5×104 plants/ha)and K application rates(K0,K40,K80,K120 and K160)on dry matter accumulation and translocation,K use efficiency and yield of maize in Gongzhuling City of Jilin Province.The results showed that there was a significant or extremely significant interaction between planting density and K application rate on dry matter accumulation of maize.The maximum and average accumulation rates of dry matter in D2K120 treatment were at the highest values,and the translocation amount and contribution rate of dry matter remained at higher levels.K recovery efficiency(REK),agronomic efficiency(AEK)and partial factor productivity(PFPK)at the same planting densities decreased with increasing K application rate,and the values reached the highest in D2 under the same amount of K application.Under the same K application rate,the maize yield in D2 was at the highest value.The average yields in two years under D2 were increased by 6.9%,3.0% than D1 and D3,respectively.At the same density,maize yield was significantly improved due to K fertilizer application.Among them,the yield increasing was no longer significant exceeding 80 kg/ha of K application rates under D1,and it was no longer significant exceeding 120 kg/ha of K application rates under D2 and D3.According to fitting a linear-plateau model,the appropriate ranges of K application rates were 72-80 kg/ha,104-115 kg/ha,105-116 kg/ha under D1,D2 and D3,respectively.Under the condition that K application rate in D2 was increased by 44.5% than that in D1 and was equal to that in D3,the maize yield in D2 was increased by 9.8%,3.2%,and REK was increased by 4.1,4.9 percentage points than D1 and D3,respectively.In conclusion,the planting density of 70 000 plants/ha and K application rate of 104-115 kg/ha are appropriate in the typical black soil region of Northeast China.
