Selecting a common paddy soil to plant rape in field and pot experiments,we studied the effect of different fertilizations on rape seedling growth in a rice-rape rotation. The results showed that the root and leaf growth with application of N or NPK treatment was better than those with application of P or K treatment,respectively. The root-shoot ratio with application of N,P,or K treatment was lower than those with application of NPK treatment or CK,respectively. The application of P or K would benefit to rape leaf growth rather than to rape root growth. As the treatment was with application o...
