摘要:

【目的】为确定夏玉米高产高效氮肥施用深度及比例,揭示其氮素高效利用机制。【方法】通过两年田间微区和一年机械化大区试验,以夏玉米为供试作物,微区条件下设置6个处理:不施氮肥(N0﹕0);只在0—20 cm土层施氮肥(N1﹕0);0—20 和20—40 cm土层均施氮肥,且两土层施氮比例分别为4﹕1(N4﹕1)、3﹕2(N3﹕2)、2﹕3(N2﹕3)和1﹕4(N1﹕4)。综合分析玉米关键生育阶段土壤氮组分、微生物群落结构、植株干物质与氮素累积、氮素回收率及产量,确定优势处理为N4﹕1和N3﹕2;进一步采用田间机械化大区试验,设置N4﹕1、N3﹕2、N1﹕0与N0﹕0处理,验证优势处理的氮肥效率及产量。【结果】(1)与N1﹕0比,分层施氮肥提高玉米地上部干物质与氮素积累量,优化同化产物向籽粒分配,N3﹕2处理最优。(2)分层施氮肥有效促进20—40 cm土层的氮素供应,提高该层土壤全氮、无机氮、颗粒有机氮和微生物量氮含量,N3﹕2处理可在保持表层土壤养分含量不降低的同时,增强深层土壤氮素的稳定性。(3)分层施氮肥改变土壤微生物群落结构,N3﹕2处理提高真菌群落物种丰富度,促进有益菌门(如被孢霉门、担子菌门)相对丰度。N3﹕2处理在保证表层土壤酶活性不降低的前提下,20—40 cm土层脲酶、N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶活性分别提高10.6%—33.4%、2.1%—34.6%。(4)两年田间微区的N3﹕2处理平均产量、百粒重及穗粒数分别较N1﹕0提高6.6%、14.4%、7.6%,氮素回收率、农学效率、偏生产力及累积利用率显著提升。机械化大区试验N3﹕2较N1﹕0处理显著增产与增效。【结论】N3﹕2处理(0—20与20—40 cm分层施氮肥且比例为3﹕2)有效协调土壤供氮与作物需氮,改善土壤微生物环境,显著提高植株干物质与氮素积累,实现增产增效双赢。

Abstract:

【Objective】This study aimed to determine the optimal application depth and ratio of nitrogen fertilizer for high-yield and high-efficiency summer maize, and to reveal the mechanism of efficient nitrogen utilization. 【Method】 Two-year field micro-plot experiment and a one-year mechanized large-plot experiment were conducted using summer maize as the test crop. Under micro-plot conditions, six treatments were established: no nitrogen application (N0:0), single-layer nitrogen application was applied only to the 0-20 cm soil layer (N1:0), dual-layer nitrogen application was applied to both the 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm soil layers at four application ratios between the two layers: 4:1 (N4:1), 3:2 (N3:2), 2:3 (N2:3), and 1:4 (N1:4). Comprehensive analyses were conducted on soil nitrogen fractions, microbial community structure, plant dry matter and nitrogen accumulation, nitrogen recovery rate, and yield during key growth stages of maize, and the optimal treatments were identified as N4:1 and N3:2. Subsequently, a mechanized large-plot experiment was carried out with N4:1, N3:2, N1:0, and N0:0 treatments to verify the nitrogen fertilizer efficiency and yield of the optimal treatments. 【Result】 (1) Compared with the N1:0 treatment, layered nitrogen fertilization increased aboveground dry matter and nitrogen accumulation in maize, and optimized the distribution of assimilates to grains, with the N3:2 treatment performing the best. (2) Layered nitrogen fertilization effectively promoted nitrogen supply in the 20-40 cm soil layer by increasing the content of total nitrogen, inorganic nitrogen, particulate organic nitrogen, and microbial biomass nitrogen in this layer. The N3:2 treatment could enhance the stability of nitrogen in deeper soil layers while maintaining the nutrient content of the surface soil without reduction. (3) Layered nitrogen fertilization altered the soil microbial community structure; the N3:2 treatment increased the species richness of the fungal community and promoted the relative abundance of beneficial fungal phyla (e.g., Mortierellomycota, Basidiomycota). Under the N3:2 treatment, while ensuring no reduction in surface soil enzyme activity, the activities of urease and N‑acetylglucosaminidase in the 20-40 cm soil layer increased by 10.6%-33.4% and 2.1%-34.6%, respectively. (4) Over the two-year field micro-plot experiment, the N3:2 treatment significantly increased average yield, 100‑grain weight, and number of grains per spike by 6.6%, 14.4%, and 7.6%, respectively, compared with the N1:0 treatment, and significantly improved nitrogen recovery rate, agronomic efficiency, partial factor productivity and cumulative utilization rate. In the mechanized large-plot experiment, the N3:2 treatment achieved significantly higher yield and efficiency than that under N1:0 treatment. 【Conclusion】The N3:2 treatment (layered nitrogen application at 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm soil layer with a ratio of 3:2) effectively coordinated soil nitrogen supply with crop nitrogen demand, improved the soil microbial environment, significantly enhanced plant dry matter and nitrogen accumulation, and achieved a win‑win outcome of high yield and high efficiency.
