Abstract

Goal. To give a comparative assessment of the balance of phosphorus, and to determine a connection with the productivity of cereals in the short crop rotation for long-term application of organic and organo-mineral fertilizer systems in the Central Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. By-products of crops were used as organic fertilizer at saturation of the crop rotation with the legume. Methods. Studies were carried out in the stationary field experiment in the Cherkasy state agricultural experimental station of NSC «Institute of agriculture of NAAS» in 2011–2019 on the area of 0.75 ha in 5 fields with the seed size of the plot 30 m2, and 4-times repeatability. They used field, laboratory, comparative-calculation, and mathematical methods. Results. At the use of organic fertilizer system, a strong correlation was revealed between the output of f.u. and the main products and the rate of turnover and balance capacity of P2O5: in the first case, the opposite (R=0.65–0.69±0.02; R2=0.42–0.48), in the second — direct (R=0.67–0.85±0.02; R2=0.45–0.72). Compared to the organo-mineral fertilizer system correlation weakened somewhat. Per unit of output of f.u. and the primary product increase of the capacity of the P2O5 balance was in 1.78 and 2.11 times smaller. Between the P2O5 balance capacity and balance capacity of N and CO2 was a direct correlation on the average level: R=0.53±0.02; R2=0.23 for N, and R=0,90±0,03; R2=0,86 — for CO2. Per unit of the capacity growth of balance of phosphorus, they fixed 7.62 kg N and 0.79 tons of CO2, which was significantly higher as compared to the organo-mineral fertilizer system. Conclusions. Assessment of dynamics of yield of grain crops in 2011–2019 had shown the following: in organic fertilizer system the increasing trends were detected in winter wheat and barley; in organo-mineral fertilizer system regression coefficients for the variable degree functions at the cultivation of barley were higher in 1.5–1.8 times, winter wheat — were approaching each other. Grain yields at the use of organic and organo-mineral fertilizer systems of cultivation were decreasing, at the use of organic fertilizer system, the drop in trend was in 1.9 times less.

Highlights

  • Phosphorus by its chemical properties has a complex nature of interaction with soil components, which greatly complicates the objective assessment of soil availability of this element for optimal growth and development of plants under different fertilization systems, and the availability of phosphates is determined by the solubility of fertilizer reaction products

  • The content of P2O5 of the main product in the total phytomass by average and median values is 71-72%. 28-29% of P2O5 from the total content in phytomass is concentrated in by-products and roots: the interval range is Δmax-min = 6.5 kg/ha, and the typical interval is ΔL0.75-0.25 = 3.7 kg/ha

  • A comparative assessment of the balance of phosphorus in 5-field grain row crop rotation when used as organic fertilizers by-products with saturation of crop rotation with legumes showed that the balance of phosphorus in the organo-mineral fertilizer system was positive (+17.7 kg/ha), while the balance of the organic fertilizer system was negative (-16.6 kg/ha), and the intensity and capacity of the phosphorus balance of the organic fertilizer system were 2.7 and 3.7 times lower compared to the organo-mineral fertilizer system

Summary

Winter wheat

The general statistical model of phosphorus content (P2O5) in the structure of total phytomass for organo-mineral and organic fertilizer systems showed that the interval content is Δmax-min = 20.7 kg/ha with an average content of 33.4 kg/ha. The use of organo-mineral fertilizer system promotes the growth of both average and median P2O5 content in the main product, which increases by 9-10% or 3.4-3.9 kg/ha, respectively, the general model. The typical content range for the organo-mineral fertilizer system narrows due to the increase in the values of the upper (L0.75) and lower (L0.25) typical values by 3.2-5.4 kg/ha. The average weight of the total phytomass relative to the values of the general model increased by 5.9 kg/ha, and the median weight – by 6.4 kg/ha. 2.
