摘要： High temperatures and rainy climate conditions result in a very low nutrient utilization rate during crop cultivation in tropical regions. To determine whether slow-release fertilizers could have a positive impact on the yield and quality of litchi, and the soil ecology of orchards while reducing chemical fertilizer application, a field plot experiment with two fertilizer types (chemical fertilizers and lignin-based slow-release fertilizers) combined with a 0 %, 15 % and 30 % reduction of fertilizer application rates was set up from 2018 to 2019. Subsequently, a demonstration trial with an optimum dose of slow-release fertilizers with chemical fertilizers was carried out from 2019 to 2020 in acidic soils. The results demonstrated that all treatments could maintain the yield of litchi between 11,825-13,056 kg/hm2 in 2018-2019. Furthermore, compared to conventional chemical fertilizer treatment, the treatment of lignin-based slow-release fertilizer application with a 15 % fertilizer reduction significantly reduced the concentration of alkaline nitrogen by 19.9 % and available phosphorus by 22.0 % at the 20-40 cm soil layer during the maturity period of litchi growth. The result of the demonstration trial in 2019-2020 further confirmed that a slow-release fertilizer, along with a 25 % reduction in fertilizer application, could maintain high levels of soil alkaline nitrogen and available potassium at the 0-20 cm soil layer without affecting soil bulk density, total soil porosity, and soil aeration. Moreover, the treatment of lignin-based slowrelease fertilizer application with a 15 % fertilizer reduction significantly increased the relative abundance of Proteobacteria (1.21 times) and decreased the abundance of Firmicutes (0.81 times) compared to conventional fertilization treatment at the 0-20 cm soil layer. In contrast, it decreased the relative abundance of Firmicutes (0.67 times) and Proteobacteria (0.37 times) at the 20-40 cm soil layer. Meanwhile, the fertilizer application only affected the soil fungi richness but did not increase their diversity. Applying slow-release fertilizers can realize the goal of reducing chemical fertilizers and ensuring excellent litchi production in tropical acidic soils.
