Synchronized nutrition fertilizer improves soil microbial diversity and sugarcane yield through agrochemical and enzymatic regulation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The new type of synchronized nutrition fertilizers (SNFert) has been popularized and applied in agro-production in northern China. However, the impacts of the SNFert on soil microbial diversity and sugarcane growth have not yet been thoroughly investigated.

Methods

To clarify the influences of SNFert on soil properties, sugarcane yield, soil microbial diversity and their interactions, two years of field experiments with four treatments, including CK, non fertilizer; CF, conventional chemical fertilizer; SNF1, 15% less fertilizer applied than CF; SNF2, 25% less than CF, were conducted.

Results

Results showed that yield, °Brix in the SNFert, even with 15% and 25% less fertilizer input, were no significant differences with those of CF. Specifically, SNF1 inc
