Abstract
Low soil phosphorus(P) availability and seasonal drought were the main limiting factors for soybean production in acid red soils of South China.Improving and screening P-efficient genotypes of soybean germplasm which could better adapt to low P soils and drought climate was one of the efficient approaches to increasing soybean yields.Pot experiment with P-efficient(BX10) and P-inefficient(BD2) soybean genotypes was conducted to investigate the effects of P application and water deficit on dry matter accumulation and phosphorus efficiency of soybean plants.Three rates of P application were P0: 0,P1: 15,P2: 30 mg/kg soil,respectively.The two soil moisture treatments were 70%—80% of field water capacity(FWC) as control and 30%—40% of FWC as drought stress at flowering and pod-setting stages respectively.The results showed that plant biomass and leaf chlorophyll content were increased,while root/shoot ratio of the two soybean varieties were decreased when soil available P increased;Drought stress increased root/shoot ratio of BX10 and BD2 at flowing and pod-setting stages under the same P application rate,but no significant effects were found on leaf chlorophyll content.Drought stress resulted in significant decrease of yield for both two varieties.Soybean yields in low P soils are significantly affected by medium P application(P1 treatment),but much less and even negatively by high P application(P2 treatment).The yield of BX10 was increased when soil available P increased,but the yields for BD2 in different P application rates were in the order: P1P2P0.BX 10 had higher yield than BD2 under all phosphorus and water treatments.Whatever drought stress in flowering or pod-setting stage,root phosphorus efficiency ratio,P uptake efficiency and P transfer efficiency of plant were increased when available soil P increased,in contrast,P utilization efficiency was decreased with the increase of P application level.In total,BX10 had higher level in P absorption efficiency and utilization efficiency,while relatively lower level in root P efficiency ratio and P transfer efficiency than BD2.
