Abstract

Soil nutrients play a principal role in Camellia oleifera Abel (oil-seed camellia) production. Camellia oleifera absorbs nutrients from surrounding soils and its production is highly influenced by nutrients or fertilization. In this study, we investigated the effects of biogas slurry applications on soil nutrients and economic traits of C. oleifera fruits. Five different amounts of fertilizing biogas slurry (0, 10, 20, 30, or 40 kg/plant/year from three applications per year) were applied to C. oleifera plants in 2015 and 2016. Rhizosphere soil nutrients and C. oleifera fruit economic traits (yield, seed rate, and oil yield)were measured. Fertilization with biogas slurryincreasedsoil organic matter, available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) in both 2015 and 2016. Increases in soil available N, P, and Kwere largest at the highest slurry application rate and second largest at the second highest application rate. Fruit economic traits were maximized at the two highest application rates. Oil yield was correlated withsoil available P in 2015 and 2016, and soil organic matter in 2015. Fertilization with biogas slurry decreased saturated fatty acid content in fruit but had no effect on unsaturated fatty acid content. In conclusion, fertilization with biogas slurry increases rhizosphere soil nutrients and fruit economic traits of C. oleifera with the rates of at least 30 kg/plant/year having the most positive effects.
