Abstract:In this study, nutrient absorption and transportation of cut chrysanthemum ‘Nannong Huangfengwo’ in the seedling stage were studied under the condition of soil testing and formula fertilization, and the optimized fertilization scheme was concluded. There were 14 treatments in total according to the "3414" design, the designed N, P and K applied levels included:N, 0 (N0, CK), 30 (N1), 60 (N2) and 90 (N3)kg/hm2; P, 0 (P0, CK), 24 (P1), 48 (P2) and 72 (P3)kg/hm2; K, 0 (K1, CK), 36 (K1), 72 (K2) and 108 (K3)kg/hm2. The results indicated that the application of N, P and K fertilizers could significantly improve the agronomic characters of cut chrysanthemum ‘Nannong Huangfengwo’. The results showed that, among all treatments, N2P2K1 had the highest growth benefit, offer 45 d of growth, the index of plant height, stem diameter, root fresh weight, stem and leaf fresh weight, root dry weight, stem and leaf dry weight were 1.30, 1.09, 2.20, 1.90, 1.88, 1.87, 1.47 and 1.80 folds of the CK, respectively. Different fertilizer treatments showed the significant effects on soil physiochemical properties, soil pH decreased with the increased N, P and K fertilizers, and the contents of soil available N, P and K were positively correlated with the increased amount of N, P and K fertilizers. In N2P2K1, the contents of soil available N, P and K were 1.15, 1.40 and 1.06 folds of the CK. Total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents in cut chrysanthemum under N2P2K1 treatment were 25.13, 4.50 and 55.54 g/kg, respectively, which were 1.37, 1.12 and 1.26 folds of the CK. In conclusion, by comprehensively considering soil condition and the growth of cut chrysanthemum at the seedling stage, the best and recommended fertilization scheme for cut chrysanthemum ‘Nannong Huangfengwo’ is N 60 kg/hm2, P2O5 48 kg/hm2 and K2O 36 kg/hm2.
