Abstract
. To study the influences of the physical and chemical properties of different seedling cultivation substrates on the quality and yield of machine-transplanted seedlings in China, seeds of the rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety Yangjing 805 were sown in topsoil (TS), commercial seedling substrate (CS), straw (ST), rice husk (RH) and mushroom residue (MR). Changes in the seedling quality, nutrient content, and grain yield were analyzed. The results showed that the morphological indices and nitrogen metabolism-related enzymatic activities of seedlings treated with TS, CS, and MR were significantly higher than of those treated with ST and RH. The reduction in total N, alkali-hydrolyzed N, and available P was lower under TS and MR than under any other treatment. The highest rice yield was recorded for the MR treatment, with a 28.93% higher yield compared with the ST treatment. Among the seedling morphological indices, stem thickness (R 2 = 0.9604) and shoot dry weight (R 2 = 0.8835) showed the highest correlations with yield, while root length (R 2 = 0.8919) and root surface area (R 2 = 0.9125) were the root indices with maximum values. The variables that showed the closest relationship with seedling quality were bulk density, conductivity, and pH of the growing medium.
