Abstract:

In order to alleviate the continuous cropping obstacle of potato, a pot experiment was carried out with Xindaping potato as the test material. Five different ratios of 4-year-old Qingshui alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)rhizosphere soil extracts and water mixed solution (1∶1, 2∶1, 3∶1, 4∶1, 5∶1) were set as treatments, and the control group(CK) was irrigated with the same amount of water. Effects of different concentrations of Qingshui alfalfa rhizosphere soil extracts on enzyme activities and microbial communities in continuous cropping potato rhizosphere soil environment was explored. The results showed that catalase and alkaline phosphatase activities in soil treated with the mixed solution (4∶1) were enhanced by 10.14% and 47.65% compared with CK. Compared with CK, number of anaerobic autogenic nitrogen-fixing bacteria and denitrifying bacteria increased by 54.80% and 36.78% and the potato yield was improved by 10.52%. Treated with mixed solution (3∶1), activities of urease and sucrase in soil were increased by 51.70% and 55.27% compared with CK. Compared with the CK, number of bacteria, actinomycetes and aerobic autogenic nitrogen-fixing bacteria were improved by 7.77%, 58.91% and 47.57%. And the number of fungi was significantly reduced, 12.42% lower than CK.Soil catalase activity of the mixed solution of 1∶1 was only lower than that of the mixed solution of 4∶1, and number of aerobic autogenic nitrogen-fixing bacteria was only lower than that of the mixed solution of 3∶1. Considering all these indicators, effect of treatment with mixed solution 2∶1 and 5∶1 were relatively poor. Different concentrations of Qingshui alfalfa soil extracts might increase enzyme activity and the number of some microorganisms, and reduce the number of fungi in potato rhizosphere soil environment. Thus, microbial community structure might be effectively ameliorated in the rhizosphere soil environment, thereby alleviating the continuous cropping obstacles of potato, and improving potato yield. Moreover, mixed solution with (4∶1) had the best effect.
