Effects of zeolite and chicken manure on the growth of soybean and rapeseed

Abstract

Zeolite, chicken manure and their mixtures were added to the soil in different proportions, and their effects on the growth of soybean and rapeseed were studied through pot experiments. The results showed that the addition of zeolite, chicken manure, or a mixture (1:1) all contributed to the plant height and fresh weight of soybean and rapeseed compared to CK treatment, but the plant height was greatly affected by the growth cycle. The weight gradually increases with the addition ratio. After the two are added in a 1:1 ratio, the advantages of plant height and fresh weight of soybean and rapeseed are more significant. The SPAD of soybean increased with the growth period, while the SPAD of rapeseed decreased significantly during the maturity period. The SPAD of both was greatly affected by the growth cycle, and the effects of each treatment were less. To sum up, in this experiment, the mixed ratio of zeolite and chicken manure can be used as a better soil improvement material, and the addition ratio of 20% is better.
