Abstract

Introduction: Despite the P vitality for rice cultivation, its recovery index in paddy soils is very low and less than 25% of added P, and the rest goes out of reach of rice plant through the P fixation by soil particles at different fractions. Also, despite abundant studies on the effect of basal soil P application, we face a lack of knowledge on research findings of the P splitting application and its effect on soil Zn concentration and tissues Zn content. Thus, the current research project was done to explore the effect of P splitting application at flooded conditions on the soil and rice plant tissues P and Zn variation trend at the different rice growth stages of two more common varieties (Hashemi and Guilaneh varieties).
Materials and methods: The outdoor pot experiment was conducted on a three factors factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2017 at the research farm of the rice research institute of Iran, Rasht. The experimental treatments were: phosphorus fertilizer split application at five levels, soil at two levels, and rice varieties at two levels (Hashemi (local variety) and Guilaneh(improved variety)), The P application treatments were: control (no added P), 100% basal, P split application at 50% basal and 50% at 20 days after transplanting (DAT), P split application at 50% basal and 50% at 60 days after transplanting (DAT), P split application at 50% basal, 25% at 20 days after transplanting, and 25% at 60 days after transplanting.
Results: The results indicated that the highest soil available P and Zn concentrations were recorded at the flowering stage about 95.3 and 90.10, and 8.6 and 8.7 mgkg-1by two and three P split for Hashemi and Guilaneh, respectively. Also, the maximum P of rice grain was obtained about 0.17 and 0.20 mgkg-1 for Hashemi and Guilaneh, respectively. The Zn content of rice grain at P split pots was significantly more than control and 100% basal application. The highest agricultural recovery (13.31 and 12.72), physiological (693.19 and 740.10) and physiological-agricultural efficiency (482.00 and 753.00), P use efficiency (5.34 and 5.66), and apparent recovery (1998 and 1272.22 kg kg-1) were found for Hashemi and Guilaneh, respectively, in the two and three P split application. Furthermore, stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the soil available P concentration at ripening stage, Zn content of the grain, and Zn concentration at rice aerial parts can explain 52% of grain yield variations for studied rice cultivars.
Conclusion: The three-stage P splitting (50% soil basal, 25% 20 DAT, and 25% 60 DAT) increased the Zn content of the Hashemi variety by about 54.72% at slit loam soil, whereas the Guilaneh rice variety was received a 37.5% increase in Zn content of grain in silty clay through two-stage P splitting (50% soil basal and 50% 20 DAT) compare to control (100 % basal). It can be concluded both three and two-stage P splitting might be positively significantly effective on rice grain nutritional quality.
