Abstract:

Nitrogen efficiency of seven potato varieties was evaluated under field conditions with or without nitrogen application. Basing on tuber yield, plant nitrogen absorption and utilization of different potato cultivars, we classified nitrogen use efficiencies of seven potato varieties into four types: double high efficiency (DH), low nitrogen and high efficiency (LNH), high nitrogen and high efficiency (HNH), and double low efficiency (DL). Furthermore, one representative variety from DH, LNH and DL types respectively was selected to analyze the mechanism on the difference in nitrogen use efficiency, showing that nitrogen use efficiency of DH type was significantly higher than that of the other two types; the nitrogen absorption efficiency of DH and LNH was higher than that of DL type. Under no nitrogen application condition, the dry matter accumulation of DH type was significantly higher than that of the other two types at whole growth stage, and the cumulative rate of nitrogen in DH and LNH was significantly higher than that in DL type at 0-50 days after emergence. The dry matter accumulation of DH potato was significantly higher than that of the other two cultivars when nitrogen applied. Compared with DL type, the yield increase of DH and LNH was mainly attributed to the higher accumulation of dry matter at the early stage of potato. The nitrogen accumulation rate of DH was significantly higher than that of DL and LNH types under nitrogen fertilizer application. The greater nitrogen and dry matter accumulation in DH cultivars benefit yield formation and increase of nitrogen use efficiency. The results could provide theoretical support for high nitrogen use efficiency variety screening and its utilization.

Key words: potato, nitrogen uptake efficiency, N nitrogen use efficiency
