摘要
尼日利亚土壤一般质地较轻,阳离子交换能力较低,而阳离子交换能力对于保持钙等可交换阳离子至关重要,而钙可以延长番茄的保质期。因此,进行了筛选室研究,以评估钙肥对土壤化学性质和番茄生长、产量、品质和保质期的影响。试验了5种钙肥源:无肥、硫酸钙、硝酸钙、禽粪和牛骨生物炭。在完全随机设计中,每组施用160 kg Ca - ha-1,重复3次。所使用的土壤被归类为Alfisol。结果表明,施用不同钙源可改善番茄土壤化学性质(有机质、N、P、K、Ca、Mg)、植株生长(株高和茎粗)、产量(果实数和重量)和矿质元素含量。结果表明,与硝酸钙、禽粪、生物炭和对照相比,硫酸钙使土壤钙含量分别提高了1.25%、9.82%、20.11%和704%。禽粪由于营养供应平衡,能最大程度地促进生长和产量。与硝酸钙、硫酸钙、生物炭和对照相比,禽粪分别使株高提高了10.1%、11.2%、20.3%和45.2%。与硝酸钙、硫酸钙、生物炭和对照相比,番茄产量分别提高22.5%、20.16%、83.4%和382.5%。与硝酸钙、家禽肥、生物炭和对照相比,硫酸钙处理的番茄失重率分别降低了24.81%、55.59%、61.19%和104.99%,贮藏期分别提高了14.78%、29.79%、36.42%和69.44%。这种效果归因于其高钙含量。虽然禽粪能有效提高番茄产量和品质,但在延长番茄保质期和减少番茄失重方面不如硫酸钙有效。因此,未来的研究应侧重于禽粪与硫酸钙的潜在整合,以开发一种可以提高番茄产量、质量和保质期的改良剂。
Impact of Calcium Sources on Soil Chemical Properties, Tomato Growth, Yield, and Quality.
Nigerian soils are generally light-textured and have a low cation exchange capacity, crucial for retaining exchangeable cations like calcium, which enhances tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) shelf life. Therefore, screenhouse studies were conducted to assess the effects of calcium fertilizers on soil chemical properties and tomato growth, yield, quality, and shelf life. Five Ca fertilizer sources were tested: no fertilizer, calcium sulfate, calcium nitrate, poultry manure, and cow bone biochar. Each was applied at 160 kg Ca ha-1 in a completely randomized design replicated three times. The soil used was classified as Alfisol. Results showed that applying different Ca sources improved soil chemical properties (organic matter, N, P, K, Ca, and Mg), plant growth (height and stem diameter), yield (fruit number and weight), and the mineral content of tomatoes. Results showed that calcium sulfate increased the Ca content of the soil by 1.25%, 9.82%, 20.11%, and 704% compared to calcium nitrate, poultry manure, biochar, and the control, respectively. Poultry manure enhances growth and yields the most due to its balanced nutrient supply. Poultry manure increased plant height by 10.1%, 11.2%, 20.3%, and 45.2% compared to calcium nitrate, calcium sulfate, biochar, and the control, respectively. Similarly, tomato fruit yield increased by 22.5%, 20.16%, 83.4%, and 382.5% relative to calcium nitrate, calcium sulfate, biochar, and the control, respectively. Relative to calcium nitrate, poultry manure, biochar, and control, calcium sulfate treatment reduced weight loss of tomato by 24.81%, 55.59%, 61.19%, and 104.99% and increased shelf life by 14.78%, 29.79%, 36.42%, and 69.44%, respectively. This effectiveness was attributed to its high Ca content. While poultry manure was effective in enhancing tomato yield and quality, it was not as effective as calcium sulfate in extending shelf life and reducing weight loss. Thus, future research should focus on the potential integration of poultry manure with calcium sulfate to develop an amendment that could improve yield, quality, and shelf life of tomatoes.
