Abstract:

The mechanism of the effect of phosphorus application rate on the growth,yield formation and phosphorus fertilizer utilization rate of high-yield maize in Xinjiang under the condition of drip irrigation and fertilizer integration was clarified,in order to provide a theoretical basis for the high and stable yield of maize in Xinjiang and the green sustainability of fertilizer reduction and efficiency increase.The experiment was carried out in the maize high-yield demonstration base of Qitai Farm in Xinjiang from 2023 to 2024.Under the condition of drip irrigation and fertilizer integration,six phosphorus application levels were set up:no phosphorus fertilizer(P0),pure phosphorus 60 kg/ha (P60),90 kg/ha(P90),120 kg/ha (P120),150 kg/ha (P150)and 180 kg/ha(P180,CK).The changes of leaf area index(LAI),photosynthetic potential(LAD),dry matter accumulation,harvest index(HI),ear traits,yield and yield components of maize with water and fertilizer integration of dense planting drip irrigation were analyzed,and the effect of phosphorus application rate on yield and phosphorus fertilizer utilization rate of maize with dense planting drip irrigation in Xinjiang was clarified.The results showed that under the condition of drip fertigation and phosphorus application,the maize yield increased first and then tended to be stable with the increase of phosphorus application in the two years,and the yield was the highest(18.79—20.94 t/ha)at P120 treatment.The amount of phosphorus application significantly affected the 1000-grain weight and grain number per ear of maize.The amount of phosphorus application mainly affected the length of maize ear bald tip.Compared with P150 and P180 treatments,the difference of ear bald tip length was not significant.During the critical growth period of corn,LAI showed a trend of first increasing and then stabilizing with increasing phosphorus fertilizer application rates.The LAI of maize under P120 treatment at silking stage was 7.56—7.81,which was not significantly different from P150 and P180 treatments,but was significantly reduced by 21.54% under P0 compared with P120.In addition,the dry matter accumulation before and after anthesis of maize treated with P120 was not significantly different from that of P150 and P180 treatments,which was 37.91% and 93.88% higher than that of P0,respectively.In summary,drip fertigation and phosphorus application significantly affected LAI,LAD,pre-anthesis and post-anthesis dry matter accumulation and HI,shortened bald tip length,increased grain number per spike and 1000-grain weight,and then increased maize yield and phosphorus utilization efficiency,and realized the synergistic improvement of maize yield and phosphorus fertilizer utilization efficiency.
