Abstract:

In order to explore the effects of biochar and organic fertilizer on soil fertility and rice growth, Jia 67 was used as the test crop and five treatments were set up to study the changes of soil physical and chemical properties, rice yield and its constituent factors. The results showed that compared with the control, the soil bulk density decreased under the combined application of biochar and organic fertilizer. The content of soil organic matter increased by 13.26% under MC0.5F1 treatment. The soil pH value was the highest under SC0.5F1 treatment. The rice yield increased by 5.58%-7.48% compared with the control after the combined application of biochar and organic fertilizer. The correlation analysis showed that the combined application of biochar and organic fertilizer mainly increased the effective panicle number of rice by increasing soil pH value, organic matter, total nitrogen and total potassium content, thereby increasing rice yield. Therefore, the combined application of biochar and organic fertilizer can improve soil physical and chemical properties and increase rice yield.

Key words: biochar, organic fertilizer, soil fertility, rice yield
