Abstract:

To clarify the effect of applying green waste composting in vegetable planting, Chinese rape were used as experimental materials to explore the effects of dosages of green waste composting on the growth, quality indicators, and soil properties of Chinese rape. The results showed that the application of green waste composting to the soil significantly promoted the growth of Chinese rape. The plant height, stem diameter, leaf number and fresh weight increased significantly. The contents of vitamin C, soluble protein and soluble sugar were significantly increased, and the content of nitrite was significantly reduced. The soil pH value increased significantly, and the contents of soil organic matter, alkali hydrolyzable nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium increased significantly. Different dosages of green waste composting showed different effects on the growth,quality,and soil properties of Chinese rape. The contents of vitamin C, soluble protein and soluble sugar showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, while the nitrite content showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with the increase of the application dosages of green waste composting. The treatment effect of 40% addition of green waste composting was the best. Soil nutrient contents increased with the increase of the application dosages of green waste composting.Based on a comprehensive analysis of the growth, quality, and soil properties of Chinese rape, it is recommended to apply 40% green waste composting.
