Effects of Acid Modified Biochar on Potassium Uptake, Leaching and Balance in an Alternate Wetting and Drying Paddy Ecosystem
SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT(2023)
摘要
Straw biochar amended soils reduce fertilizer losses and alleviate soil K-exhaustion, while decrease grain yield due to its high pH. H2SO4-modified biochar has been studied as a means to enhance the advantages of biochar and address yield decrease. However, little information is available on its effects on aboveground K uptake, soil K fixation, K leaching, and utilization in paddy rice systems, especially under water stress. A 3-year field experiment was conducted with two irrigation regimes (continuously flooded irrigation, ICF and alternate wetting and drying irrigation, IAWD) as main plots and 0 (control), 20 t ha-1 biochar (B20), and 20 t ha-1 acid-modified biochar (B20A-M) as subplots. The results showed that IAWD significantly decreased water percolation by 9.26 %-14.74 % but increased K leaching by 10.84 %-15.66 %. Compared to B0, B20 and B20A-M significantly increased K leaching by 32.40 % and 30.42 % in 2019, while decreased it by 11.60 %-14.01 % in 2020 and 2021. Both B20 and B20A-M significantly improved aboveground K uptake by 3.45 %-6.71 % throughout the three years. B20 reduced grain yield in 2019 and increased it in 2020 and 2021, while B20A-M increased grain yield throughout the three years. Apparent K balance (AKB) from pre-transplanting to post-harvest over the three years suggested that IAWD significantly increased the risk of soil K depletion but B20 and B20A-M significantly increased AKB, thereby addressing the depletion of it. IAWDB20A-M have a comparable AKB with ICFB20A-M, but had up to 18.3 % and 21.61 % higher AKB than IAWDB20 and ICFB20. Therefore, the use of H2SO4 modified biochar could produce higher grain yield with lower K leaching for addition in IAWD paddy systems, which is beneficial to mitigate soil K depletion and ensure a sustainable agricultural production.
