Abstract: In order to screen out the most optimal chitosan concentration for grape(Vitis vinifera L.) seedling nutrient absorption and provide the reference for grape production, grape seedlings were used as materials in the experiment, the chitosan with different concentrations was sprayed on the grape seedlings, and the effects of chitosan on nutrient absorption of grape seedlings were studied. The results showed that the chitosan increased the contents of nitrogen(N), phosphorus(P), and potassium(K)in the whole plant of grape seedlings. When the concentration of chitosan was 4 g/L, the content of N, P and K reached the maximum, increasing by 25.53%, 18.67% and 12.63% compared with that of the control, respectively. The chitosan treatment also increased the concentrations of soil alkali-hydrolyzable N, available P, available K and organic matter, and the content of soil organic matter was increased by 42.58% when the concentration of chitosan was 4 g/L. With the increase of chitosan concentration, the medium trace elements sodium and calcium contents in grape seedlings had a trend of decrease, increase, and then decrease, and the magnesium content in grape seedlings had a trend of increase and decrease. For soil enzyme activity, chitosan increased the activities of soil sucrase, urease, catalase, and phosphatase. Chitosan at 4 g/L was the most beneficial to grape seedlings nutrient absorption.

Key words: grape (Vitis vinifera L.) seedlings, chitosan, nutrient absorption, soil enzyme activity
