Abstract:

This study compared the yield and plant phenotype of Curcuma wenyujin Y.H.Chen & C.Ling in continuous cropping soils treated with different application amounts of biochar, and found that the application of biochar can promote the yield and plant growth of Curcuma wenyujin Y.H.Chen & C.Ling. By testing the content of volatile oil and nutrient elements in different parts of Curcuma wenyujin Y.H.Chen & C.Ling, it was found that the content of volatile oil and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium nutrient element contents of Curcuma wenyujin Y.H.Chen & C.Ling. were significantly increased by the application of biochar, and that the effect of the promotion was best when biochar was applied at 300 kg per 667 m2. In this study, the activities of catalase, urease and sucrase in soil were tested, and the results showed that the application of biochar could improve the enzyme activities in soil. It can be inferred that the application of biochar improves soil physicochemical properties, promotes the absorption of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and the growth of Curcuma wenyujin Y.H.Chen & C.Ling. This study provides an effective way and theoretical basis for alleviating the continuous cropping obstacles of Curcuma wenyujin Y.H.Chen & C.Ling.

Key words: Curcuma wenyujin Y.H.Chen &, C.Ling, biochar, continuous cropping obstacle, soil enzyme activity
