The soil nutrient characteristics and nutrient management in different cotton regions of Hebei were studied combining investigation and analysis methods and NPK “3414” experiment.The results showed that the deficiency of the available K was the limiting factor for cotton yield in the South region of Hebei.In this region the main strategies of nutrient management for cotton were nitrogen control,and phosphorus and potassium supplement.The suitable rates of N,P2O5 and K2O for cotton were 135,110 and 150 kg/hm2 and the suitable ratio of N-P2O5-K2O for special cotton fertilizer was 15-13-17.In MiddleSouth region of Hebei,the soil nutrient was relatively balanced.The main strategies of nutrient management in this area were nitrogen and phosphorus control and potassium supplement.The suitable application rates of N,P2O5 and K2O were 140,90 and 120 kg/hm2.The suitable ratio of N-P2O5-K2O for special cotton fertilizer was 18-12-15.In Coastal saline soil region of Hebei,the soil nutrients content were extremely imbalanced.The available P content was very low and the available K content was very high.The management strategies were nitrogen and potassium reduced and phosphorus supplement.The suitable application rate of N,P2O5 and K2O were 135,130 and 90 kg/hm2.The suitable ratio of N-P2O5-K2O for special cotton fertilizer was 17-16-12.
