| Abstract: |
| In order to explore the effects of different cultivation patterns(conventional and organic cultivation) on nitrogen and phosphorus losses, a 2-year field experiment was conducted by building runoff ponds in farmland. The concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in runoff from the conventional and organic rice-wheat rotation farmland in Taihu Lake Region were analyzed. Results showed that the average concentrations of total nitrogen(TN), soluble nitrogen, ammonium, nitrate and TN in runoff were in order of conventional cultivation > organic cultivation > control. The TN loss coefficients in organic fields were significantly lower than those in the conventional fields. Runoff losses of TN from rice-wheat rotation under the organic cultivation and conventional cultivation were 24.42~52.30 kg·hm-2 and 54.84~78.21 kg·hm-2, respectively, with TN losses lower in organic fields decreased by 33.13%~55.47%. Total N runoff loss under organic cultivation in rice and wheat seasons decreased respectively by 19.27%~25.10% and 40.29%~67.58%, suggesting that effective of reducing N runoff loss in wheat season was better than in rice season. Although the TP loss coefficients in organic fields were lower than that in conventional fields, higher P amount in organic fertilizer led to the increase of P runoff loss from organic cultivation system. |
