Abstract:

The research systematically studied the effects of different types and concentrations of chemical defoliants on the defoliation and nutrient reflux of 5-year-old‘Dongzao’jujube in greenhouse via foliar spraying. The results showed that:(1)0.20% ethephon treatment had the best defoliation effect on jujube trees,with a high defoliation rate of 75.75% on 7 days after treatment;(2)The nitrogen,phosphorus,and potassium reflux caused by natural fallen leaves of jujube trees were 4.14,0.27,and 3.18 g · kg-1,respectively;(3)Leaf nitrogen reflux occurred under all chemical defoliant treatments and 4% urea,8% urea,10% urea,0.5% zinc sulfate,and 1.0% zinc sulfate treatments significantly increased leaf nitrogen reflux. Leaves phosphorus reflux can be found under 4% urea,8% urea,10% urea,0.5% zinc sulfate,1.0% zinc sulfate,2.0% zinc sulfate,0.05% ethephon and 0.10% ethephon treatments. Potassium backflow can be detected in leaves treated with 4% urea,8% urea,10% urea,0.5% zinc sulfate,0.05% ethephon,and 0.20% ethephon. However,only 8% and 10% urea treatments significantly increased leaf nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium reflux. In conclusion,0.20% ethephon is the best treatment for rapid defoliation in production. The best treatment for the purpose of shedding leaves at a specific period without leaf nutrient waste is 8% or 10% urea,which significantly improves the backflow of nitrogen,phosphorus,and potassium.
