Abstract:

In order to investigate the effects of different fertilizer formulations of agricultural waste on the growth, yield and quality of cabbage, nine different organic fertilizer formulations of sheep manure, vegetable residue, cow manure, mushroom residue and corn straw were prepared according to different mass ratios. T1 (sheep manure∶cabbage vegetable residue with volume ratio of 5.5∶4.5), T2 (sheep manure∶vegetable residue∶cow manure with volume ratio of 6∶3∶1), T3 (sheep manure∶cabbage vegetable residue∶mushroom residue with volume ratio of 6∶3∶1), T4 (sheep manure∶cabbage vegetable residue∶cow manure∶mushroom residue with volume ratio of 6∶3∶1), T5 (sheep manure∶ cabbage vegetable residue∶cow manure: mushroom residue with volume ratio of 6∶2∶1∶1), T6 (sheep manure∶cabbage vegetable residue∶cow manure∶corn straw with volume ratio of 6∶2∶1∶1), T7 (sheep manure∶cabbage vegetable residue∶mushroom residue∶corn straw with volume ratio of 6∶2∶2∶1), T8 (sheep manure∶cabbage vegetable residue∶cow manure∶mushroom residue∶corn straw with volume ratio of 5∶2∶1∶1∶1). CK1 (no application of organic fertilizer) and local commodity organic fertilizer formula CK2 (sheep manure∶cabbage vegetable residue=6.5∶3.5) were served as the control groups. In order to provide basis for fertilizer utilization of agricultural waste, the differences of growth, yield and quality of cabbage under different organic fertilizer cultivation conditions were investigated. The results showed that in T6 treatment, the projection area of open field cabbage was higher than that of other treatments at the pelleting stage and harvesting stage, the plant height at the pelleting stage was higher than that of other treatments, and the maximum leaf area at the pelleting stage and harvesting stage was higher than that of other treatments. The root activity at cabbage rosette stage in T6 treatment was significantly higher than other growth stages. Compared with CK2 treatment, the biomass yield and dry matter accumulation in T6 treatment increased by 7.18% and 55.99%, respectively. The contents of soluble sugar and vitamin C in T6 treatment were higher than those in other organic fertilizer treatments. The nitrate content was lower than that of other organic fertilizer treatments. Compared with CK1, the content of mineral elements in each treatment increased to different degrees. The membership function analysis of 17 indexes showed that T6 was the best treatment, followed by T4>T3>T8>T7>T1>CK2>T2>T5>CK1.
