Влияние минеральных удобрений на рост, развитие и урожайность сои на лугово-черноземных почвах Ростовской области

Abstract

Purpose: to reveal the effect of different doses of mineral fertilizers (MF) on the growth, development and productivity of soybeans on meadow-chernozem soils of Rostov region. Materials and methods. The studies were carried out on meadow-chernozem soils of Oktyabrsky district Rostov region in 2019–2020. Observations of the effect of different doses of MF on the growth, development of plants, yield records, statistical processing of the results were carried out according to generally accepted methods of conducting field experiments. Results. It was found that, on average for 2 years, the greatest plant growth was observed in the variant with the calculated MF dose for the planned yield of 5.0 t/ha. The height of plants in this variant in the branching phase averaged 24.8 cm for 2 years, in the flowering phase – 54.7 cm, and in the phase of bean filling – 117.6 cm. This is, respectively, 23, 21 and 13 % higher than the control. The largest increases in leaf surface area in this variant were revealed: on average for 2 years, they amounted to 13% in the phases of branching and filling of beans and 18 % in the flowering phase. At the same time, in the variant with the MF dose for the yield of 4.0 t/ha, the increments to the control were respectively equal to 9, 16, 13 %, and in the variant with the MF for the yield of 3.5 t/ha – 6, 12, 8 %, respectively. Similar changes were revealed in the accumulation of dry aboveground biomass. Conclusions. The greatest impact on the height of soybean plants was exerted by the application of MF with a dose calculated for the planned yield of 5.0 t/ha. On average, for 2 years, the height of plants in this variant was 117.6 cm in the phase of filling the beans, which is 13 % higher than in the variant without fertilizers. The same tendency can be traced when determining the leaf surface area and accumulation of dry biomass according to the options in the observation phases. Thus, the best conditions for the yield formation were formed in the variant with the calculated dose for the planned yield of 5.0 t/ha. As a result, on average for 2 years, the soybean yield in this variant is 109 % higher than the control.
