Abstract:

To investigate the effect of applying different gradients of nitrogen reduction on leaf production capacity of Korla fragrant pear,no fertilizer treatment(CK),no nitrogen fertilizer treatment(N0),conventional fertilizer treatment(N),and three nitrogen fertilizer reduction gradients(N1,N2 and N3,which reduced nitrogen use by 10%,20%and 30%,respectively,compared with conventional fertilizer)were set up in a total of six treatments.Leaf nutrient content,net photosynthetic rate,chlorophyll fluorescence,chlorophyll content,leaf area index and yield were compared under different fertilizer application methods based on multi-year fertilizer trials.Nitrogen fertilization significantly increased leaf and branch nutrient content,leaf chlorophyll content,leaf area index,net photosynthetic rate,chlorophyll fluorescence and yield,and soluble solids and VC content in fruit.Nitrogen reduction of 10% had no significant effect on leaf and branch nutrient content,chlorophyll fluorescence,net photosynthetic rate,chlorophyll content,leaf area index and fruit soluble solids,VC,stone cells and total acid content compared to complete N application,and N reduction of 10% to 20% had no significant effect on the orchard yield and was able to maintain it at the normal range level.Net photosynthetic rate,chlorophyll fluorescence parameters,and yield were significantly and positively correlated with N,P,K,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn contents in leaves and branches.According to the experimental results and analysis,the recommended range of nitrogen fertilizer reduction for Korla fragrant pear of 10—12 years old is 10%—20%(240—270 kg/ha)on the basis of fully applied nitrogen(300 kg/ha)as the optimal amount of nitrogen fertilizer reduction in fragrant pear orchards.

Key words: Korla fragrant pear, Nitrogen reduction, Nutrient content, Chlorophyll fluorescence, Yield
