[Responses of dry matter, nitrogen accumulation and distribution and nitrogen utilization of pepper to new-type fertilizers in Guizhou yellow soil.].

In order to explore the pepper yield responses to new-type fertilizers in yellow soil in Guizhou Province, a pot experiment, with the variety of "Bola 5", was conducted to estimate the effects of four new-type fertilizers, including water retaining fertilizer (BSX), stable slow release fertilizer (WDX), coated slow release fertilizer (BMX) and long-lasting nitrogen fertilizer (CXDF), on the accumulation and distribution of dry matter and nitrogen (N) uptake and N use efficiency. The results showed that the application of new-type fertilizers could significantly influence the accumulation and distribution of dry matter and shoot N uptake. Compared with dry matter accumulation, the start time and the end time of N accumulation during fast-growing period were advanced by 17-26 d and 28-45 d, respectively, and the duration of N accumulation in fast-growing period was shorter by 7-23 d, which indicated that the occurrence time of N accumulation was prior to the accumulation of dry matter. In contrast to the common compound fertilizer (FHF) treatment, the occurrence time of dry matter and nitrogen accumulation in the treatments with new-type fertili-zers (BSX, WDX, BMX and CXDF) were obviously lagged, and the lag time was longest in the BMX treatment. However, it had a shorter duration of fast-growing stage and a maximum accumulation rate for the WDX treatment, revealing that WDX could realize the high nutrient use efficiency in a short time. The post-anthesis dry matter and N accumulation accounted for 63.0%, 20.1% and 73.3%, 20.5% for the BSX and BMX treatments, respectively, while these proportions for the WDX were 59.3% and 11.6%, respectively. This indicated that BSX and BMX were beneficial to promote dry matter and N assimilation after flowering, while WDX was conducive to dry matter and nutrients accumulation before flowering. Compared with the FHF treatment, new-type fertilizers (BSX, WDX and BMX) application could significantly improve N use efficiency. Nitrogen partial productivity, nitrogen agronomic efficiency and nitrogen apparent utilization rate of the WDX treatment were the highest, with the average of 66.74 kg·kg, 44.28 kg·kg and 54.7%, respectively. Consequently, these four new-type fertilizers were sui-table for pepper cultivation in Guizhou, in which the yield response to the WDX was the best.
