Effects of Combined Fertilizers Fertigation of Animal Liquid Manure with Chemical Fertilizer on Growth of Chinese chive(Allium tuberosum Rottler) and Soil Properties
This study was conducted to examine the effect of nutrients balanced fertilizers applications, swine liquid manure(SLM) with synthetic chemical fertilizer on growth and yield of Chinese chive(Allium tuberosum Rottler) and soil properties in green house cultivation during 2015 growing season. There are 4 treatment plots; swine liquid manure(SLM), nutrients balanced fertilizers(mixture of chemical fertilizer with swine liquid manure(SLM+CF), nutrient balanced and pH adjustment (SLM+CF+pH) and the conventional chemical fertilizer(control). The phosphorous acid is added to adjust pH in animal liquid manure. The yield of Chinese chive in plot of swine liquid manure(SLM) was decreased by 4% compared with plot of conventional chemical fertilizer(control). There was no significant differences of growth and yield of Chinese chive between SLM+CF and control. The yield of SLM+CF+pH plot was highest yield as 8,235 kg 10a-1 among 4 treatments and was increased than that of swine liquid manure plot(7,489 kg 10a-1). EC and available P2O5 were decreased by SLM+CF+pH treatment. Combined application of SCM and CF fertilizer can be a useful tool, particularly for the fertigation culture of Chinese chive in greenhouse. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that the combined application of liquid swine manure and chemical nutrients was responsible for improving yield of Chinese chive and soil properties.
