Abstract:
Ion Exchange Resin Membrane(IERM) method was adopted to study the changes of three nutrients(N, P and K) from four fertilizers(urea, potassium chloride, calcium phosphate and slow-release-compound fertilizer) in a continuous soil incubation experiment at 25℃. The results showed that there was significant disparity of nutrient release rate in four fertilizers. The release rate of N and P in slow-release-compound fertilizer was slower than others at the prior stage(28 days). The release accumulation of nutrients(N, P and K) in soil was enhanced gradually with time and could be quantitatively described by four kinetics equations: Elovich equation, double constants equation, primary diffusion equation and parabola diffusion equation(
