Effects of fluid fertilizer on yield and quality of Litchi

The contrast test of fluid fertilizer and solid fertilizer based on soil nutrient status was conducted to study the effect of fluidfer tilizer on the yield and quality of litchi. The results showed that the application of fluid fertilizers through irrigation system was more effective. Compared with the treatments of solid fertilizer applied, the yield of litchi increased by 43.8%, and the absorption rate of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, B, Zn enhanced by 11.5%, 19.4%,12.6%, 32.6%, 34.0%, 32.0% and 24.4%, respectively. The litchi applied with fluid fertilizer had better fruit quality that the contents of soluble sugar and solid were higher than that of control with 7.2% and 13.1%.
