Abstracts
Acidic soil extensively
distributes in southern China, exerting an adverse influence on crop growth.
The grade of molybdenum ore resources in China is relatively low, and a
considerable amount of tailings are generated during
the beneficiation process, which poses a significant threat to the environment.
The application effect of converting molybdenum tailings into Si-Ca-K-Mg
fertilizer on crops and acidic soils was studied. In this work, we used cherry
radish and acidic soil in southern China as experimental materials, a 3-month
pot experiment was conducted to study the application effect of Si-Ca-K-Mg
fertilizer as a soil amendment on acidic soil and its growth promoting effect
on cherry radish. Results indicated that the application of Si-Ca-K-Mg
fertilizer significantly enhanced the growth indicators of cherry radish
plants, encompassing length, weight, and chlorophyll content. The utilization
efficiency of Ca, K, and Mg in the treatment group was significantly higher
than the control group. Meanwhile, the application of the fertilizer facilitated
the absorption of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Additionally, Si-Ca-K-Mg
fertilizer can effectively improve key indicators in the soil, such as pH value, cation exchange capacity (CEC),
available Si, K, Ca, and Mg. The
experimental results demonstrated that the conversion of molybdenum tailings
into Si-Ca-K-Mg fertilizer was a viable and effective approach.
Keywords: Acid soil; cherry
radish growth; Si-Ca-K-Mg fertilizer; soil nutrients
Abstrak
Tanah berasid bertebaran secara meluas di selatan China, memberikan pengaruh buruk terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman. Gred sumber bijih molibdenum di China agak rendah dan sejumlah besar amang dijana semasa proses pemanfaatan, yang menimbulkan ancaman besar kepada alam sekitar. Kesan penggunaan untuk menukar amang molibdenum kepada baja Si-Ca-K-Mg pada tanaman dan tanah berasid telah dikaji. Dalam penyelidikan ini, kami menggunakan lobak ceri dan tanah berasid di selatan China sebagai bahan uji kaji, uji kaji pasu selama 3 bulan telah dijalankan untuk mengkaji kesan penggunaan baja Si-Ca-K-Mg sebagai pindaan tanah pada tanah berasid dan kesan menggalakkan pertumbuhannya pada lobak ceri. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa penggunaan baja Si-Ca-K-Mg dengan ketara meningkatkan penunjuk pertumbuhan tumbuhan lobak ceri, merangkumi panjang, berat dan kandungan klorofil. Kecekapan penggunaan Ca, K dan Mg dalam kumpulan rawatan adalah jauh lebih tinggi daripada kumpulan kawalan. Manakala, penggunaan baja memudahkan penyerapan nitrogen
(N) dan fosforus (P). Selain itu, baja Si-Ca-K-Mg secara berkesan boleh meningkatkan penunjuk utama dalam tanah, seperti nilai pH, kapasiti pertukaran kation (CEC), Si tersedia, K, Ca dan Mg. Keputusan uji kaji menunjukkan bahawa penukaran amang molibdenum kepada baja Si-Ca-K-Mg adalah pendekatan yang berdaya maju dan berkesan.
Kata kunci: Baja Si-Ca-K-Mg; nutrien tanah; pertumbuhan lobak ceri; tanah berasid
