Abstract:To address the agricultural non-point source pollution caused by fertilization in the hilly and ridge areas of Huainan, this study monitored the effects of partially substituting chemical nitrogen fertilizer with organic fertilizer on the yields of wheat, rice, tea, and vegetables, as well as on soil physicochemical properties, across different soil types in the region. The experiment included two treatments: conventional fertilization and substitution of 10% nitrogen with livestock manure. A systematic investigation was conducted on the responses of soil physicochemical properties and crop yields under conventional nitrogen application levels and 10% nitrogen substitution with manure.The results showed that reducing nitrogen fertilizer application while supplementing with livestock manure could increase soil organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and potassium content. It also enhanced soil cation exchange capacity, reduced bulk density, improved soil structure, and positively influenced soil physicochemical properties. Additionally, this approach increased the yields of wheat and rice by 301.5 kg/ha and 64.95 kg/ha, respectively. The combined application of organic fertilizer with chemical N, P, and K fertilizers played a significant role in achieving stable and high yields for wheat and rice while improving soil fertility. However, it had a certain impact on the yield of Maojian tea and short-growth-period vegetables, with a noticeable decline in production.
