Abstract:
To investigate the issue of precise nitrogen fertilizer application for peanut in soils with extremely abundant phosphorus and potassium in Dayang Township, Hanjiang District, Fujian Province, a field experiment was conducted following the "2+X" experimental design specified in the Technical Specification for Soil Testing and Formulated Fertilization(Revised 2011). Five nitrogen application treatments were set up, including a nitrogen-free treatment(N0), 70% optimized nitrogen treatment(N1), optimized nitrogen treatment(N2), 130% optimized nitrogen treatment(N3), and 150% optimized nitrogen treatment(N4), to investigate the effects of nitrogen application rates on agronomic traits, yield, soil physicochemical properties, and nutrient uptake of peanut.The results showed that the 130% optimized nitrogen treatment(pure N 126 kg·hm
−2)achieved the highest peanut yield of
4778.0 kg·hm
−2, which was a significant increase of 25.37% compared with the nitrogen-free treatment, bringing an additional economic benefit of
1320.27 CNY·hm
−2.Considering comprehensive factors including yield, economic benefits and soil sustainability, under the conditions of yellow-based calcareous clay paddy soil in this region(with available phosphorus 784.7 mg·kg
−1and available potassium 350.0 mg·kg
−1), the recommended pure nitrogen application rate of 126 kg·hm
−2was determined as the optimal scheme for high peanut yield. This finding provides a scientific basis for the precise application of nitrogen fertilizer for peanut in the local area.
