Abstract:A field experiment with 10 treatments including and different green manure crops (Vicia sativa,Glycine max,Astragalus adsurgens,Onobrychis viciaefolia,Vicia faba,Zea mays,Iicia villosa,Medicago sativa and Pisum sativum) with fallow as control were conducted in semi-arid region of the Loess Plateau.The effects of different treatments on soil microbial quantity and soil enzyme activity were analyzed.Results showed that the activities of soil urease,alkaline phosphatase and catalase,and the quantities of bacteria and fungi were higher in 2018 than 2017 except nitrate reductase and actinomycetes.Compared with control,the activities of urease and alkaline phosphate increased significantly after growing V.sativa and G.max.The bacteria quantity and catalase activity were highest after growing O.viciaefolia.The fungi quantity was highest after growing V.faba.Grey correlation degree analysis showed that the soil fertility improvement after growing V.faba,O.viciaefolia and I.villosa was higher than control,whereas the soil fertility after growing V.sativa,A.adsurgens,G.max,Z.mays,M.sativa and P.sativum was lower than control.V.faba,O.viciaefolia and I.villosa were good green manure crops in semi-arid region of the Loess Plateau.
