A preliminary study on fertilizer assimilation of Liriope.muscari(Decne.) Bailcy

By regular monitoring the nutrients in various parts of Liriope.muscari(Decne.) Bailcy,the plant's N,P and K assimilation pattern throughout the growth periods was obtained.It showed that at the tilling,flowering,tuber-bearing and the tuber-expanding stages,a peak fertilizer assimilation occurred.For 100 kg dry liriope harvested,5.17 kg,0.69 kg and 4.83 kg of N,P and K,respectively,were needed,with an N P K assimilation ratio of 1:0.13:0.74.
