Abstract:

A long-term rotation system experiment has been arranged since 1982 to maintain the soil fertility and the sustainable productivity of rice multiple cropping system in hilly red soil region in south of Hunan, continuously improving the economic benefits and promoting agricultural sustainable development. During the winter-fallow period every year, planting milk vetch (T1), oil rapeseed (T2), and ryegrass (T3) were conducted to study the effect of green manures on rice yield and soil fertility. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: (1) Compared with the winter-fallow treatment (T4), the green manure treatments increased rice yield with a better yield stability. The average annual yield increase rate and effects showed a trend of T1>T2> T3. (2) Compared with T4, green manure treatments increased SOM (soil organic matter) content, and among green manure treatments T1 treatment had the significantly highest soil ASOM (active soil organic matter) content and a largest proportion of soil ASOM in SOM. (3) Compared with T4, green manure treatments increased soil total N and available N contents, promoted soil mineralization and absorption of soil K and P. Soil total N and available N contents in T1 treatment were significantly higher than those in the other treatments, and those in T2 and T3 treatments were significantly higher than those in T4 treatment. The effect of promoting soil P releasing in T1 treatment was better than that in T2 and T3 treatments, leading to more slowly soil total P accumulation in T1 treatment, and more potassium application needed. (4) T1 treatment is a better rotation pattern.

Key words: Long-term experiment, Green manure, Rice yield, Soil fertility
