    In order to explore the molecular mechanism of low nitrogen response in quinoa, low nitrogen response genes were screened to reveal the adaptive changes in quinoa response to low nitrogen.Based on the seedling growth observation and chlorophyll synthesis detection,we analyzed the transcriptome changes of quinoa after 5 d and 30 d under nitrogen deficiency conditions.The results showed that roots were preferentially developed under nitrogen starvation condition.Older leaves turned yellow or dropped down under both low nitrogen and nitrogen starvation conditions,therefore younger leaves could maintain green.Higher NUE was shown in both low and nitrogen starvation conditions.GO enrichment analysis indicated that significantly differential expressed genes were mainly involved in integral component of membrane,membrane,oxidation-reduction process,metabolic process,ATP binding,and metal ion binding.After 5 d of low or nitrogen starvation supply,KEGG enrichment analysis showed that phenylpropyl biosynthesis and glutathione metabolism were the most significant metabolic pathways compared with high nitrogen.After 30 d of treatment,the most significant metabolic pathway was the carbon metabolic pathway.The key genes in response to low nitrogen in quinoa were further explored.The results showed that peroxidase,glutathione S-transferase and ascorbate peroxidase genes were up-regulated and their expressions were higher after 5 days of low nitrogen and nitrogen deficiency treatment.The genes of phosphoglycerate kinase,cysteine synthetase,glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP)and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase were up-regulated and the expression levels were higher after 30 days of low and low nitrogen treatment.The results of qRT-PCR agreed with the RNA-Seq.

    In order to screen out suitable water and nitrogen combinations for watermelons in Yellow River irrigation area of Ningxia, different water and nitrogen treatments were designed to study the effects of water and nitrogen interaction on SPAD value of watermelon leaves, fruit quality,yield and nitrogen uptake and utilization. The results showed that SPAD values were higher by W1N4,W2N3,W2N4,W3N3 and W3N4 treatment,the quality was better under nitrogenous fertilizer amounts at N2 and N3.The yield was the highest under W3N4 treatment,reaching 76 565.36 kg/ha and increased by 8.34% to 37.57% compared with other treatments significantly.Followed by W3N2 and W3N3 treatment.Compared with other levels,when the irrigation water level was W1,the water use efficiency of facility watermelon irrigation was higher.Among them,the irrigation water use efficiency of W1N3 and W1N4 treatment was higher,reaching 43.91,45.32 kg/ha respectively,while it was significantly increased by 14.00% to 56.40% from other treatments.Fruit nitrogen accumulation and total nitrogen accumulation under W3N4 treatment were all the highest compared with other treatments significantly,increasing by 22.75% to 192.36% and 17.00% to 123.39% respectively compared with the other treatments.Partial factor productivity of nitrogen and nitrogen fertilizer utilization rate under W3N2 treatment were all the highest compared with other treatments significantly.Partial factor productivity of nitrogen increased by 11.00% to 343.68%separately compared with the other treatments and nitrogen fertilizer utilization rate increased by 3.34 to 10.02 percentage points compared with other treatments.The correlation analysis showed that SPAD,the center of soluble solids,Vc,yield,irrigation water use efficiency and nitrogen accumulation,were all significantly positively correlated with each other,and they were significantly negatively correlated with partial factor productivity of nitrogen and nitrogen use efficiency,the edge of soluble solids was positively correlated with nitrogen accumulation of the plants,and negatively correlated with partial factor productivity of nitrogen and nitrogen use efficiency.To sum up,the watermelon had better quality when nitrogenous fertilizer amounts were N2(80 kg/ha) and N3(160 kg/ha),the yield-increasing effect was the best under the combination of water amount for W3(2 200 m3/ha)and nitrogenous fertilizer amount for N4(240 kg/ha).The interaction between high amount of irrigation water and nitrogenous fertilizer application is beneficial to the nitrogen absorption in watermelon,and the interaction between low nitrogen application amount and high nitrogenous fertilizer amount is conducive to utilization of nitrogen fertilizer.

    In order to investigate the effect of reducing nitrogen and increasing density on the yield formation characteristics of ratooning rice,hybrid rice variety Chuangliangyou 669 was used as the material to conduct two years of field experiments under conditions of three nitrogen application rates(N1:180 kg/ha;N2:153 kg/ha;N3:126 kg/ha)and two plant row spacing(M1:20.0 cm×16.7 cm;M2:16.7 cm×16.7 cm).The results showed that:reducing nitrogen reduced the leaf area index(LAI)of ratooning rice,but increasing density within a reasonable range of nitrogen reduction could increase the LAI of the main and ratooning seasons.The LAI of N1M2 and N2M2 was higher in the interaction treatments.Reducing nitrogen and increasing density both reduced the SPAD value of ratooning rice leaves,but the effect of density was not significant.Reducing nitrogen led to a decrease in dry matter weight,while increasing density could significantly increase dry matter weight.The interaction treatment of N1M2 and N2M2 had a higher dry matter weight.Reducing nitrogen reduced the yield of ratooning rice,but increasing density within a reasonable range of nitrogen reduction could increase yield.The interaction treatment of N1M2 and N2M2 had a higher yield.Reducing nitrogen significantly reduced the number of effective panicles in the main season,the total number of grains per panicle,and the regeneration rate and number of effective panicles in the ratooning season.However,increasing density had a compensatory effect on the number of panicles.Reasonable nitrogen reduction and density increase(N2M2)could coordinate the relationship among yield components and achieve higher yields.The correlation analysis showed that reasonable nitrogen reduction and density increase increased the effective number of panicles and total grains per panicle in the main season,as well as the effective number of panicles in ratooning season mainly by increasing LAI and dry matter weight of the main and ratooning season,and thereby improving the yield of ratooning rice.Overall,the nitrogen reduction and density increase treatment N2M2(nitrogen rate of 153 kg/ha,plant row spacing of 16.7 cm×16.7 cm)can save 15% nitrogen and achieve a higher yield.

    The effects of long-term manure application on water-dispersible phosphorus (P)content and morphological distribution in three zonal soils were explored to provide references for understanding the risk assessment of P loss. The soil samples were collected from the farmland in Daxing Beijing(Fluvo-aquic soils),Yueyang Hunan(Red earths)and Zhanjiang Guangdong(Humid-thermo ferralitic)from May 2021 to August 2021,the sample was a composite mix of five individual surface soil cores (0—20 cm). The characteristics of water-dispersible P,morphological distribution,and minerals contents were studied. Compared with the treatment without manure application,the water-dispersible P content of the three zonal soils in Daxing,Yueyang and Zhanjiang was significantly increased by 1.15,1.32,14.00 times,respectively. Long-term application of manure significantly changed the distribution ratio of different forms of water-dispersible P in the total soil water-dispersible P,and the proportion of particulate P in Daxing and Yueyang soils decreased significantly by 30.22 and 14.68 percentage points,respectively,while the proportion of dissolved P significantly increased by 29.83 and 28.06 percentage points,respectively. The proportion of colloidal P in Yueyang soil significantly decreased by 13.37 percentage,and the proportion of dissolved P in Zhanjiang soil with long-term manure application significantly increased by 8.24 percentage points,compared with the soils without manure application. Long-term manure application remarkablely changed the content of soil water-dispersible minerals. Compared to the control group without manure application, the content of water-dispersible calcium in Daxing, Yueyang, and Zhanjiang soils increased significantly by 0.55, 1.66, and 4.15 times, respectively. The water-dispersible magnesium content also significantly increased by 0.66, 1.46, and 8.39 times in these soils. Additionally, the water-dispersible aluminum content in Daxing soil increased by 9.09%, while it decreased significantly by 19.90% and 77.27% in Yueyang and Zhanjiang soils, respectively.The results of redundancy analysis showed that soil pH,cation exchange capacity (CEC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC),and water-dispersible mineral composition (Fe/Al/Ca/Mg)were the main predictors affecting soil water-dispersible P content and morphological distribution. Long-term manure application significantly increased the water-dispersible P content of the three zonal soils and affected the P transformation,which aggravated the risk of P loss. Long-term manure application favored the particulate P and colloidal P of Yueyang and Zhanjiang soils and the particulate P of Daxing soil transformed to the dissolved P. Therefore,long-term manure application mainly affects the water dispersible P forms by changing the transformation between particulate P and dissolved P.

    To explore the effects of long-term multi-cropping patterns on soil structure and organic carbon distribution in paddy fields. With fallow-rice-rice (WF-R-R) model as the control, four multi-cropping models were set up: rape-rice-ric (RP-R-R), Chinese milk vetch-rice-rice (MV-R-R), Potato-rice-rice (PO-R-R), ryegrass-rice-rice (RG-R-R). The results showed that in 5—10 cm soil layer, the contents of water-stable aggregates with size of >2 mm were increased in the multi-cropping pattern. The RG-R-R mode was 11.26 percentage points higher than the control, and the mean weight diameter (MWD) was significantly higher than the control. In 0—5 cm soil layer, the organic carbon content was increased by multi-cropping mode. The SOC content in RG-R-R mode was the highest in 0—20 cm soil layer, and the SOC content in each soil layer was increased by 9.57% (0—5 cm), 4.45% (5—10 cm) and 5.96% (10—20 cm), respectively, compared with the control. With the deepening of soil layer and the decrease of aggregate particle size, the soil organic carbon content in the multi-cropping model increased more significantly than that in the control. When the size was <0.053 mm, the soil organic carbon content in the RG-R-R model was significantly higher than that in the control. The contribution rate of soil aggregate organic carbon mainly came from the >2 mm grain size (59.03%—79.33%). In the 5—10 cm soil layer, the contribution rate of aggregate carbon in the >2 mm size of MV-R-R, PO-R-R and RG-R-R models was significantly increased by 8.5, 7.18 and 14.65 percentage points compared with the control. In conclusion, in this study, the ryegrass-rice-rice (RG-R-R) model was conducive to soil aggregate stability and organic carbon fixation in southern paddy fields.

    To explore the effect of planting density on disease and quality of tobacco and the response characteristics of soil microorganisms in rainy regions,a field experiment was conducted in the Rainy Regions.The random block design was adopted to study the effects of different planting densities(CK was 16 650 and T1 was 18 525 plants/ha) on yield of tobacco and soil microbial community structure during the experimental periods. Results suggested that:compared with the CK treatment,T1 treatment increased by 6.02% for the tobacco plant height,and 8.65% for yield,respectively. Compared with CK treatment,T1 treatment decreased by 15.38% for tobacco black shank,11.76% for tobacco black root rot,and 18.18% for tobacco anthracnose at the mature stage,respectively. T1 treatment increased by 1.62%for the species diversity and decreased by 0.99% for the richness of the rhizosphere soil bacterial community,increased by 3.76% for the species richness and decreased by 4.71% for the diversity of the fungal community when compared with CK treatment. The bacterial and fungal community structure of the T1 treatment was similar to that of the CK treatment,but the microbial dominant taxa in the soil samples was inconsistent. In the horizontal structure of phylum,T1 treatment relative abundance of bacteria in the soil Proteobacter,Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria,and fungal in the soil Ascomycota was higher. In the horizontal structure of genera,T1 treatment relative abundance of bacteria Sphingomonas and fungi Penicillium was significantly improved. Redundancy analysis (RDA)showed that environmental factors (sunshine duration,rainfall,and temperature)significantly affected the bacterial and fungal community structure,and the influence of soil bacterial community was rainfall>temperature>sunshine duration,the influence of soil fungal community was sunshine duration>rainfall>temperature,respectively. This study indicated that properly increasing the planting density of flue-cured tobacco in rainy regions could improve the soil microenvironment,and reduce tobacco diseases,which could improve the quality of flue-cured tobacco and increase the income of tobacco farmers.

    In order to provide a theoretical basis for rational application of organic fertilizers and ensure the healthy development of soil ecosystems in corn fields,the effects of soil fungal communities under different levels of organic fertilizer application for the composition,diversity,and functional characteristic were studied.In the meantime,a field experiment was used,with a total of 4 treatments were set up,and the high-throughput sequencing and FUNGuild method were used to analyze the soil fungal diversity,community structure and functional groups in different fertilization rates.The results showed that the increased application of organic fertilizer could increase the content of soil organic matter,available phosphorus,available potassium,urease,catalase,etc.,and it was positively correlated with the application amount of organic fertilizer.Applied organic fertilizers could increase the diversity of soil fungal communities and reduce their richness.The dominant fungal communities in the soil under different fertilization rates were Ascomycota,Mortierellomycota,Basidiomycota,and Olpidiomycota,the relative abundance of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota was significantly higher in the treatment with a medium amount of cattle manure than in the control without organic fertilizer;from the perspective of fungal genera,the dominant genera include Fusarium,Humicola,Olpidium,and Microidium.The application of organic fertilizer increased the relative abundance of symbiotic and saprophytic nutrients,and with the increase of organic fertilizer application,the abundance of pathological nutrients showed a decreasing trend;the number of woody saprophytic fungi in the treatment with increased organic fertilizer application was significantly higher than that in the treatment without organic fertilizer application,while the number of plant and animal pathogens was lower than the control.Therefore,it is believed that increasing a certain amount of organic fertilizer application could optimize the soil microbial environment and promote the increase of corn plant yield.

    In order to improve the use effect of ordinary stable urea fertilizer,develop biostimulant and biochemical inhibitor combined high-efficiency,stable and synergistic urea fertilizer.A field pot test was carried out to investigate the effect of urea fertilizer with the biological stimulator Enteromorpha polysaccharide and various biological inhibitors on rice cultivation in black soil.The control group in the experiment consisted of no nitrogen fertilizer (CK) and only urea fertilizer(N).In the treatment group, urea was supplemented with Enteromorpha polysaccharide (E), the biochemical inhibitor N-butyl thiophosphate triamine (NBPT), 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), and 2-chloro-6-trimethylpyridine (CP). Additionally, a combination of Enteromorpha polysaccharide and a biochemical inhibitor was also added to urea. Nine treatments were set up to study the nitrogen conversion characteristics,physiological and developmental biological indexes of rice,nitrogen uptake by plants,and efficiency of nitrogen absorption and utilization from fertilizers.When urea was applied alone,the addition of Enteromorpha polysaccharide reduced ammonia volatilization loss in black soil,significantly increased ammonium nitrogen content in soil at the tillering stage,promoted plant growth,and then significantly increased grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency.The combination of Enteromorpha polysaccharide and NBPT significantly increased ammonium nitrogen content in black soil,but the application of Enteromorpha polysaccharide promoted the decomposition of NBPT,resulting in no significant effect on rice yield and nitrogen use efficiency.In black soil cultivation rice,the combination of Enteromorpha prolifera polysaccharide and DMPP significantly reduced rice grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency,and the application of stable urea fertilizer combined with both was not conducive to yield increase and efficiency increase.The combination of tillering stage CP rice plants and Enteromorpha polysaccharides had the highest ammonium nitrogen content in black soil,and had a synergistic effect on the process of inhibiting urea nitrogen conversion to nitrate nitrogen.The apparent nitrification rate of black soil treated with the two was significantly lower than that of CP alone,while the increase in ammonium nitrogen promoted rice tillering,increased panicle percentage,and thus significantly increased rice grain yield.

    In order to clarify the influence mechanism of total replacement of chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer on the nitrogen fertility of tea garden soil.Based on the 5 a experiment of replacing chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer in tea garden,single application of chemical fertilizer(CF)and full application of organic fertilizer(OF)were selected as treatments,the effects of total replacement of organic fertilizer with chemical fertilizer on the physical and chemical properties,mechanical stability,aggregate composition,and aggregate inorganic nitrogen distribution characteristics of tea garden soil in rainy and dry seasons were studied,and the influencing factors of aggregate inorganic nitrogen distribution were analyzed.The results showed that:Compared with CF treatment,OF treatment increased the pH value,organic matter content and total nitrogen content of surface soil in rainy and dry seasons.However,there was no significant difference in soil pH between the two treatments in the rainy season(P>0.05);in the rainy season,the cation exchange capacity,ammonium nitrogen content and nitrate nitrogen content in the surface soil of the tea garden under the OF treatment were lower or significantly lower(P<0.05)than those under the CF treatment,while in the dry season,the OF treatment was significantly higher than that under the CF treatment(P<0.05),with an increase of 27.02%, 58.97%, and 266.84%, respectively. Different treatments had significant effects on the mass percentage of 0.25—2.00 mm and<0.25 mm aggregates and GWD;compared with CF treatment, OF treatment increased the mass percentage of 0.25—2.00 mm aggregates and GWD, and decreased the mass percentage of<0.25 mm aggregates; seasons had a significant effect on the mass percentage of aggregates<0.25 mm (P<0.05).The contents of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in aggregates of different treatments were as follows:<0.25 mm aggregates were the highest,0.25—2.00 mm aggregates were the second,and>2.00 mm aggregates were the lowest;in rainy season,the content of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in aggregates at all levels of OF treatment was lower or significantly lower(P<0.05) than that of CF treatment,while in dry season,OF treatment was significantly higher than that of CF treatment(P<0.05);compared with the rainy season,the content of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in aggregates at all levels under CF treatment was significantly reduced in dry season(P<0.05),and the content of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in aggregates at all levels under OF treatment was increased or significantly increased in dry season(P<0.05);under different treatments,the proportion of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen storage of aggregates showed that 0.25—2.00 mm aggregates were the highest(51.70% and 51.14%),>2.00 mm aggregates were the second(34.59% and 35.51%),and<0.25 mm aggregates were the lowest(13.71% and 13.34%);compared with CF treatment,OF treatment significantly reduced the proportion of<0.25 mm aggregate ammonium nitrogen storage in rainy and dry season and the proportion of <0.25 mm aggregate nitrate nitrogen storage in dry season(P<0.05),and significantly increased the proportion of 0.25—2.00 mm aggregate ammonium nitrogen storage in rainy season and 0.25—2.00 mm aggregate nitrate nitrogen storage in dry season(P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that the content of ammonium nitrogen in soil aggregates was mainly affected by soil pH,cation exchange capacity and total nitrogen content,while the content of nitrate nitrogen in soil aggregates in tea garden was mainly affected by soil pH,organic matter content and total nitrogen content;further RDA analysis showed that soil pH and cation exchange capacity were the main factors affecting the distribution of inorganic nitrogen in soil mechanically stable aggregates.To sum up,total replacement of chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer in tea garden is beneficial to improve the content of soil organic matter,coordinate the supply of soil nitrogen in rainy and dry seasons,and promote the formation of large aggregates and the accumulation of soil inorganic nitrogen.

    In order to select a reasonable fertilization pattern suitable for high-yielding and high-quality production of rice stubble weakly glutenous wheat,this experiment was conducted with weakly glutenous wheat Ningmai 13 and Wanximai 0638 as the test varieties,with no fertilization(CK),conventional fertilization of compound fertilizer+urea(T1),slow-release blended fertilizer(T2),loss-control fertilizer(T3),humic acid compound fertilizer(T4),and wheat formula fertilizer(T5),under the same conditions of nutrient supply,the effects on dry matter distribution and transport,filling,yield and quality of weakly glutenous wheat were analyzed.The results showed that slow-release blended fertilizer and wheat formula significantly increased the post-flowering dry matter production,and increased wheat grain filling rate,effective filling days,and grain weight compared with conventional fertilizer application.The grain yield increased by 9.27%—24.30% and 11.64%—22.98% respectively compared with conventional fertilizer.Slow-release blended fertilizer 2 years two varieties than conventional fertilization treatment of nitrogen fertilizer agronomic efficiency increased by an average of 23.14%, 36.88%, wheat formula fertilizer two years two varieties than conventional fertilization increased by an average of 36.31%, 39.35%. Wheat formula fertilizer treatment of two wheat varieties for testing grain quality had reached the national standard of weak gluten wheat. In summary,wheat formula fertilizer can be used as one of the fertilization patterns for high-yielding and high-quality production of rice stubble weak-gluten wheat in the test area,or appropriately reduce the application amount of slow-release blended fertilizer as the fertilization pattern for high-yielding and high-quality production of rice stubble weak-gluten wheat.

    In order to explore the effects of irrigation method and topdressing nitrogen on grain yield,quality and nitrogen accumulation and translocation of furrow-seeding wheat in dryland,a field experiment including five treatments,i.e.no irrigation and no topdressing nitrogen(NIND),every furrow irrigation and no topdressing nitrogen(EFIND),alternative furrow irrigation and no topdressing nitrogen(AFIND),every furrow irrigation and topdressing nitrogen(EFITD)and alternative furrow irrigation and topdressing nitrogen(AFITD),were set at jointing stage based on a no-tillage furrow-seeding wheat field from October 2019 to June 2020.The grain yield and its components,main quality index,as well as the shoot nitrogen accumulation,translocation and distribution were measured.The results showed that irrigation at jointing stage,irrigation mode and topdressing nitrogen significantly regulated the yield,quality and nitrogen accumulation and translocation of furrow-seeding wheat in dryland,and the regulation effects was additive.Compared with NIND,the grain yields in EFIND,AFIND,EFITD and AFITD were significantly increased by 46.57%,67.72%,83.71%,95.88%,as well as the nitrogen accumulation at anthesis,the post-anthesis nitrogen accumulation and its contribution rate to grain were significantly increased,so the nitrogen accumulation amounts at maturity were significantly increased by 25.94%,41.00%,65.86%,82.64%.Compared with NIND,the quality in EFIND,AFIND and EFITD was significantly decreased,while that in AFITD did not decrease or even significantly increased.Compared with EFI,AFI did not affect the nitrogen accumulation at anthesis,but significantly increased the post-anthesis nitrogen accumulation,and thus significantly increased the total nitrogen accumulation at maturity and grain nitrogen accumulation.Finally,compared with EFI,the grain yield in AFI was significantly increased,but the difference of quality indexes except the sedimentation value was not significant under ND,while the significant improvement of grain yield and various quality indexes was observed under TD.Compared with ND,the nitrogen accumulation at anthesis,pre-anthesis nitrogen accumulation and its translocation amount,post-anthesis nitrogen accumulation and its contribution rate to grain in TD were significantly increased,and thus the shoot nitrogen accumulation and grain nitrogen distribution rate at maturity were also significantly increased,so the grain yield,grain nitrogen accumulation and grain quality were significantly improved.Moreover,the regulation effect on quality under AFI was greater than that under EFI.In conclusion, AFITD could not only improve the shoot nitrogen accumulation at anthesis and after anthesis, but also significantly increased the amount of pre-anthesis nitrogen translocation to grain, and the shoot nitrogen accumulation and its distribution rate in grain at maturity, thus finally synergistically improved grain yield and quality of furrow-seeding wheat. Therefore, alternative furrow irrigation combined with topdressing nitrogen at jointing stage could be recommended as an alternative mode in dryland.

    To investigate the effects of different application rates of nitrogen fertilizer on soil characteristics of spring wheat and pea intercropping,spring wheat monoculture and pea monoculture.Three planting methods including intercropping of wheat and pea(SI),sole cropping of spring wheat(SS)and sole cropping of pea(PS)were set,and four nitrogen application levels 0(N0),90(N1),180(N2),270 kg/ha(N3)were set.At 85 days after sowing,the activities of five soil enzymes,including sucrase, β-glucosidase,urease,glutaminase and phosphatase,and the contents of five soil nutrients,including total nitrogen,alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen,total phosphorus,available phosphorus and organic carbon were measured.The results showed soil sucrase activity was increased(65.51%,57.88%)by N application(N2,N3)in PS soil,and N2 level reached the maximum value.Under four nitrogen levels,the sucrase activity of SI planting pattern was significantly increased by 31.25%-94.07% compared with PS.N3 treatment significantly increased SS β-glucosidase activity(17.81%);soil urease activities in SS and SI were increased by N application,and reached the highest at N2 level,SI>SS>PS under the same fertilization;N2 significantly increased the glutaminase activities in SS,SI and PS soils(26.95%,67.05%,55.03%,respectively).Soil phosphatase of SS,SI and PS all reached the highest level in N2,and SI was significantly higher than SS and PS(increased by 128.35%,337.21%,respectively).Nitrogen application could increase soil alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen,total phosphorus and available phosphorus contents,among which alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen and available phosphorus reached the highest at N2 level;soil sucrase activity was very significantly correlated with the urease, phosphatase, and significantly correlated with the available phosphorus content. Soil urease activity was very significantly correlated with phosphatase activity and alkaline hydrolyzable nitrogen content, and was significantly correlated with total nitrogen and available phosphorus content. Soil phosphatase activity was very significantly correlated with total nitrogen, available phosphorus content, and significantly correlated with alkaline hydrolyzable nitrogen. The total nitrogen content of soil was very significantly correlated with alkaline hydrolyzable nitrogen.There was a significant interaction between nitrogen treatment and planting mode pattern on soil urease,glutaminase,phosphatase activities,soil total phosphorus,available phosphorus contents.In conclusion,180 kg/ha was the best nitrogen application rate,and intercropping was better than monoculture under the same nitrogen application rate.

    Soil phosphorus(P)cycle are varied in different land use soils.The transformation of soil organic P by hydrolyzing by enzymes is an important process in soil P cycling.The exogenous carbon(C)and nitrogen(N)application can influence on the biological process of soil P,which could play a key role in improving soil P bioavailability.In order to study the effects of exogenous C and N on soil organic P and extracellular enzyme activities in different land use soils,four soils from greenhouse vegetable field,grain field,grassland and forest were collected to conduct the incubation experiment.For each soil,four treatments were designed,including control(CK),glucose(G,500 mg/kg soil),potassium nitrate(N,300 mg/kg soil),glucose and potassium nitrate(GN,500 mg/kg glucose soil and 300 mg/kg potassium nitrate soil).The results showed that the soil organic P in greenhouse vegetable field and forest was increased after adding carbon source,increased by 89.7%,40.6%,respectively,compared to control treatment;with the addition of nitrogen sources,the available P in greenhouse vegetable soil increased by 14.2%,while that in forest soil decreased by 14.0%;compared to control treatment,the activity of alkaline phosphatase in grassland and forest soil decreased by 35.9%,25.5% with the input of carbon source,while that in greenhourse vegetable field and grain field soil had no significant effect;compared to control treatment, the β-glucosidase activity of four soils were increased by adding C and N, and the difference was significant in greenhouse vegetable field and grassland soil; based on the addition of carbon source,N addition reduced the cumulative release of CO2 in grassland and forest soils by 19.7%,16.5%,respectively,but had no significant effect on that of greenhouse vegetable field and grain field soil.Therefore,in greenhouse vegetable field and grain field soil,the soil extracellular enzyme activity increased significantly after the application of exogenous carbon and nitrogen,and the mineralization of organic phosphorus into inorganic phosphorus was more.The content of soil organic carbon was the main factor affecting the mineralization of organic phosphorus in soil;in grassland and forest soil,the application of exogenous carbon and nitrogen reduced the activity of alkaline phosphatase and slowed down the mineralization process of organic phosphorus,so the activity of phosphatase was the main factor affecting the mineralization of organic phosphorus in the soil.

    Partial substitution of chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer is being increasingly recognized as a promising approach for achieving sustainable agriculture.This paper explores the proportion of organic fertilizer substitution nitrogen fertilizer,physiological basis for stable yield after substitution nitrogen fertilizer,and the effect of spraying liquid nitrogen after substitution nitrogen fertilizer in North China,in order to provide a basis for the technology of reducing nitrogen fertilizer and increasing yield and efficiency of winter wheat in this region.Field experiments of the following eight treatments were conducted in Ningjin,Hebei from 2020 to 2022:T1,non-nitrogen,application of chemical P and K fertilizer alone;T2,application of chemical N,P and K fertilizer alone;and T3- T7,substitution of 20%,40%,60%,80%and 100% the chemical N rate of T2 with organic fertilizer,respectively;T8,substitution of 100% chemical N rate of T2 with organic fertilizer,and spraying liquid nitrogen fertilizer at the erecting stage.The results showed that the organic fertilizer substitution rate of 29.5%-66.7% and the 100% substitution rate+liquid nitrogen treatment had higher wheat yield,and their yield was comparable to the CK.Under this fertilization condition,the leaf area index and leaf SPAD value were also higher at most stages,which was the physiological basis for stable yield after replacing chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer.When the organic fertilizer substitution rate was greater than 40%,the wheat grain quality was higher,especially when the organic fertilizer substitution rate was 40%,the stability time,tensile area,and maximum tensile resistance were increased by 17.8%,23.5%,and 9.1%,respectively,compared to the CK.The nitrogen efficiency indicators of the CK,40% substitution rate,and 100% substitution rate+liquid nitrogen fertilizer treatments mostly performed better,with higher nitrogen uptake of grain,nitrogen fertilizer efficiency and nitrogen uptake efficiency.Substitution of chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer significantly increased the nitrate nitrogen content in soil 0-80 cm from the erecting to the filling stage and 0-60 cm at the mature stage,resulting in a phenomenon of surface accumulation of soil nitrate nitrogen.The higher the replacement rate of organic fertilizer,the higher the nitrate nitrogen content in this layer of soil.Replacing nitrogen fertilizer with organic fertilizer could significantly reduce the nitrate nitrogen content of 80-100 cm soil in the mature stage,thereby reducing the risk of nitrogen leaching in the rainy season.Based on the above conclusions,the treatment of 40% substitution rate and 100% substitution rate+liquid nitrogen fertilizer had excellent wheat yield,quality,and nitrogen efficiency,with significant benefits.
