| Abstract: |
| A field trial was conducted to study the effects of different N levels of biogas slurry on yield, quality, and N utilization efficiency of P．americanum×P．purpureum CV． Minmu 6, and the distributions of total-N and nitrate-N in soil profile. Biogas slurry was applied at 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 kg N·hm-2 and 160 kg N·hm-2 of nitrogen equivalent for three times during each cutting period（45 days）. Pennisetum hay yields increased with increasing N levels. The annual hay yield was the highest in the treatment with 160 kg N·hm-2 or 27.51 t·hm-2 biogas slurry, significantly higher than that in the other treatments（P<0.05）. Plant nitrate contents, total N contents and forage protein yields also increased with increasing amount of nitrogen applied. The concentrations of plant nitrate were 355.1～572.5 mg·kg-1 during three forage harvesting, lower than the toxic nitrate limit of 0.25%. The maximum crude protein yield was 2459 kg·hm-2 at the highest biogas slurry rate. Nitrogen utilization efficiency decreased with increased rates of biogas slurry nitrogen. Soil total-N and nitrate-N increased as biogas slurry nitrogen rates increased, but decreased with soil depth in 0 cm to 60 cm soil profile. Elevated nitrate-N in soil implies that applying biogas slurry of high nitrogen content may increase the risk of nitrate leaching. |
