Abstract:

In order to solve the problems of non-point source pollution caused by a large amount of nitrogen loss in the early growth stage and insufficient nitrogen supply in the late growth stage of dry land millet in Ningxia,which led to premature senescence and yield reduction.Under the nitrogen application rate of 135 kg/ha,five nitrogen treatments were designed according to the ratio of base fertilizer∶jointing fertilizer∶ear fertilizer.The ratio of base fertilizer∶jointing fertilizer∶ear fertilizer was 6∶2∶2(N1,nitrogen fertilizer was in front),6∶0∶4(N2,conventional nitrogen management),2∶4∶4(N3,the front nitrogen moves backward),4∶6∶0(N4,front nitrogen moved back),4∶0∶6(N5,nitrogen from front to back),no nitrogen fertilizer treatment(CK).The effects of nitrogen fertilizer backward movement on dry matter accumulation,grain yield and nitrogen absorption and utilization efficiency of broomcorn millet were studied.The purpose of this paper was to explore the best nitrogen application period and amount of broomcorn millet.The effects of nitrogen application on dry matter accumulation,grain yield and its components,and nitrogen use efficiency of broomcorn millet in different growth stages were significantly different,and all of them were significantly higher than CK.The effects on grain yield and its components of broomcorn millet were significantly higher than that of CK,and the grain yield of each treatment increased 18.9%,26.6%,30.8%,22.1% and 23.3% compared with CK,respectively.Nitrogen accumulation of each treatment showed spike>stems>leaf>root,and significantly higher than CK.N use efficiency was significantly higher than CK,and N backward treatment(N3,N4,N5)increased by 4.75,3.08 and 2.99 percent points,respectively,compared with nitrogen pre-treatment(N1).Based on principal component analysis and correlation analysis,N3(base fertilizer∶jointing fertilizer∶heading fertilizer ratio of 2∶4∶4)was the best plan for the backward transfer of nitrogen fertilizer in broomcorn millet production in the mountainous area of Southern Ningxia.The appropriate delayed nitrogen transfer could promote the accumulation and transport of dry matter and nitrogen,improve the nitrogen metabolism of broomcorn millet leaves at the late growth stage,delay leaf senescence,and improve the yield of broomcorn millet.
