Abstract:

Using three varieties of industrial hemp (Mountain Mango, Victory Haze, and Rewined S1) as experimental materials, a randomized complete block design was conducted with four different levels of phosphorus supply (0, 40, 80, and 120 mg/kg). The effects of different phosphorus supply levels and varieties on growth, root morphology, physiological indicators, rhizosphere carboxylate exudation, nutrient uptake and phosphorus utilization efficiency were investigated. The results showed that the growth, root morphology, physiological indicators, nutrient uptake and phosphorus utilization efficiency of industrial hemp were strongly influenced by varieties and level of phosphorus supply. Under phosphorus-deficient conditions, the rhizosphere of industrial hemp mainly released citrate, which gradually shifted to malate exudation with the increase of phosphorus supply. Mountain Mango and Rewined S1 differed in maintaining photosynthesis, growth morphology and physiological adaptations. Mountain Mango had higher leaf chlorophyll content and longer root length, while Rewined S1 had higher intercellular CO2 concentrations and larger stem length. In conclusion, Mountain Mango and Rewined S1 had higher stem biomass, root length, root surface area, and phosphorus utilization efficiency with the increase of phosphorus supply, while Victory Haze had more moderate stem length, root morphology, citrate, and phosphorus utilization efficiency.

Key words: Industrial hemp, Phosphorus supply level, Growth and development, Root morphology, Nutrient uptake, Phosphorus utilization efficiency
