Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effectiveness and microbial mechanism of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens biofertilizer on reducing ammonia volatilization in farmland soil. Pot experiments were carried out to explore the effects of B. amyloliquefaciens biofertilizer (BB) and chemical fertilizer on soil ammonia volatilization, crop yield and quality, and soil microbial community. Four fertilization strategies were tested, namely no fertilizer (CK), 100% chemical fertilizer (C), 50% BB and 50% chemical fertilizer (B1), and 100% BB (B2). The dynamic flow-through chamber method was used to determine the soil ammonia volatilization flux after fertilization. The soil bacterial community during the peak period of ammonia volatilization was analyzed using 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that the amount of ammonia volatilization in B1 and B2 decreased by 79.5% and 84.8%, respectively, as compared with treatment C. B2 had the lowest nitrate content and the highest yield; the yield of B2 increased by 50.5% and 12.3% as compared to that of CK and C, respectively. B1 had the highest content of vitamin C, which was 67.6 mg ·kg-1. The application of BB improved the diversity and richness of soil bacterial community, especially the relative abundance of Bacillus and Nitrospira. This shows that BB plays an important role in preventing air pollution and improving nitrogen utilization.
