Effect of Biological Fertilizers on the Yield and Quality of Amomum villosum / 广州中医药大学学报

ABSTRACT

[Objective] To observe the effect of biological fertilizers on the yield and quality of Amomum villosum (AV). [Methods] Field experiment method was used to observe the effect of different kinds and different amount of biological fertilizers on AV. Biological fertilizers were A (mainly composed of fermented chicken manure), B (mainly composed of fermented filter of sugarcane) and C (mixed with fertilizer A and biological fertilizer at certain proportion). The fertilizer amount was 150, 112 and 75 g****m-2 per time. Content of bornyl acetate in AV was detected by gas chromatography. [Results] The three kinds of biological fertilizers increased the yield of AV but had no obvious effect on its quality; high- and moderate-amount fertilizer increased the yield of AV, in particular fertilizer A (112 g?m-2 per time). The three kinds of fertilizers had no effect on the content of bornyl acetate in AV. [Conclusion] Reasonable application of fertilizers is one of the important ways to raise the yield of AV.
