title: [Biological availability of zinc lignosulfonate on calcareous soil of north Guoangdong Province].
abstract: Zinc lignosulfonate (Zn-LS) is a kind of organic fertilizers made from the by-products of paper industry. With leach and plot treatments, this paper studied the difference of the biological availability between Zn-LS and an inorganic Zn-fertilizer on calcareous soil of north Guangdong Province. The results indicated that the Zn of Zn-LS was less absorbed by calcareous soil. In soil B, when applying 10 mg x kg(-1) Zn, the dissolved amount of Zn-LS was 65.2% higher than that of inorganic Zn-fertilizer, corn grew well, and its biomass was higher. In soil A, when applying 10 mg x kg(-1) Zn of Zn-LS, the biomass of corn increased by 16.3%, and its Zn content was 81.2% higher. Therefore, biological availability of Zn-LS was better than that of inorganic Zn fertilizer.
