Taking red skin and white skin Jerusalem artichoke leaves at different growth stages as research objects,the dynamic changes of C,N and P stoichiometric characteristics of Jerusalem artichoke leaves were studied by measuring C,N and P contents in leaves and calculating C/N,C/P and N/P ratios.The results showed that the C and N contents in the leaves of two kinds of Jerusalem artichoke showed the trend of ‘down-up-down-up’.The P content in different growth stages showed different size relationships: C/N range of white Jerusalem artichoke was 17.57~42.80,and red Jerusalem artichoke was 11.88~88.78;C/P range of white Jerusalem artichoke was 442.40~1 567.39,red Jerusalem artichoke 521.49-1 243.72;N/P range of white Jerusalem artichoke was 10.84~61.21,and red Jerusalem artichoke was 14.52~46.36.This indicates that the growth of chrysanthemum grown in Horqin sandy land is mainly limited by P element.In field management,attention should be paid to the application of phosphorus fertilizers to create conditions for high-quality and high-yield cultivation of Jerusalem artichoke in Horqin sandy land.
