黄土塬区不同水分条件下冬小麦氮肥效应与土壤氮素调节

在黄土旱塬长期定位研究表明 ,根据小麦生育年降水量施用氮肥 ,将能更好地发挥肥料效益。丰水年、平水年氮肥增产效果极为显著 ,应加大施用量 ;干旱年氮肥效果受抑 ,应减少施用量。氮肥利用率受降水等因素影响 ,年际间变化幅度为 6.4%～ 58.6%。氮肥利用率亦随施用量的增加而降低 ,变化幅度为 2 5.4%～ 42 .9%,且其利用率与施肥利润的高低并不同步。施用有机肥或氮磷有机肥配施、轮作中增加豆科作物 (或牧草 )能有效地调节改善土壤氮素状况

不同氮磷施肥量对玉米生育期土壤微生物量的影响

通过田间小区试验研究了不同N、P施肥量对玉米生育期土壤微生物量C、N、P的影响。结果表明,不同N、P施肥量对微生物量C无明显影响;施N肥量高(225km/hm~2)时降低微生物量N;当施P肥达225 km/hm~2时则对微生物量P产生明显的抑制作用。

土壤水分与氮肥对玉米根系生长的影响

利用田间小区试验研究了不同土壤水分条件下N肥对根系生长(根长、根重和根冠比)的影响。结果表明,玉米拔节期和开花期无论水分条件如何,施N肥可增加其总根长、表层根长和根重并使根冠比下降;灌浆期施N肥可增加总根长和表层根长,但正常水分条件下N肥使根重和根冠比下降,而干旱条件下N肥对根重和根冠比则无影响。不同处理根冠比大小与N吸收和分配有很大关系。

旱地冬小麦氮磷自然供给能力及其吸收氮磷来源的长期定位试验

利用在黄土旱塬上布置的 13年小麦连作肥料定位试验资料 ,研究了旱地冬小麦氮磷的自然供给能力和吸收来源于肥料和土壤的氮磷相对比例。结果表明 ,旱地冬小麦氮素的自然供给能力为 2 6 6 8～ 2 7 4 9kg/hm2 ,平均为 2 7 2kg/hm2 ;磷素自然供给能力为 5 2 1～ 8 4 9kg/hm2 ,平均为 7 31kg/hm2 。小麦吸收氮素有 51 9%～ 76 8%来自氮肥 ,平均为 6 6 6 % ;而来自土壤为2 3 2 %～ 4 8 1% ,平均 33 4 %。小麦吸收磷素来源于肥料的为 13 6 %～ 4 7 8% ,平均为2 8 7% ;来源于土壤为 52 2 %～ 86 4 % ,平均为 71 3%。同一肥底基础上 ,随肥料用量的增加 ,小麦吸收氮或磷素来源于肥料的比例也增大 ,而来源于土壤的比例逐渐减少。本试验条件下 ,氮肥利用率变幅为 32 6 %～ 6 6 0 % ,平均为 51 1% ;磷肥利用率变幅为 1 72 %～ 14 0 2 % ,平均为 7 0 %

秸秆还田对灌溉玉米田土壤反硝化及N_2O排放的影响

运用乙炔抑制技术研究了不同施氮水平下秸秆还田对灌溉玉米田土壤反硝化反应和氧化亚氮(N2O)排放的影响。结果表明,土壤反硝化速率及N2O的排放受氮肥施用、秸秆处理方式及其交互作用的显著影响。与秸秆燃烧相比,不施氮或低施氮水平时,秸秆还田可刺激培养初期反硝化反应速率及N2O排放,增加培养期间N2O平均排放通量;高施氮水平时,秸秆还田可降低反硝化反应速率及反硝化过程中的N2O排放。秸秆还田可降低反硝化中N2O/N2的比例。

半湿润区农田生态系统氮肥对不同基因型冬小麦产量构成的影响

施N对“NR9405”、“9430”、“偃师9号”、“小偃6号”、“陕229”、“西农2208”、“矮丰3号”和“商188”这8种不同基因型冬小麦产量构成影响的田间试验结果表明,单株分蘖成穗数、单位面积粒数和单位面积株数的差异同时受基因和N素营养水平控制。“矮丰3号”和“小偃6号”单株分蘖成穗数最多,分别为2.00分蘖穗/株和1.72分蘖穗/株,“9430”最少,为0.85分蘖穗/株。从不同基因型看,施N比不施N处理增加0.74穗/株,每穗粒数在不同基因型间存在极显著差异,以“西农2208”最多,为36.73粒/穗,“NR9405”最少,为24.35粒/穗,施N对每穗粒数无显著影响。单位面积株数主要受施N影响,基因型间差异相对较小。基因型和施N同时显著影响单位面积粒数和千粒重,但基因型对千粒重的影响程度大于N肥。从2个施N水平看,单位面积籽粒产量存在显著差异,“矮丰3号”、“西农2208”、“偃师9号”、“陕229”、“9430”、“小偃6号”、“商188”和“NR9405”依次减小,“矮丰3号”为435g/m2,“NR9405”为316g/m2,相差119g/m2。施N可极显著增加单位面积籽粒产量,不同基因...

施氮与基因型对半湿润区冬小麦灌浆期籽粒氮、磷累积的影响

在年均降水量632mm的黄土高原南部半湿润区红油土上以“9430”、“小偃6号”和“商188”为供试材料,研究了不施N和施N(90kg/hm2)条件下不同基因型冬小麦灌浆期间籽粒中N、P累积特性。结果表明,不同基因型冬小麦灌浆期间籽粒含N量呈现出“高-低-高”的时间变化趋势,而籽粒含P量基本呈直线下降趋势。不同基因型小麦籽粒最终含N量的高低与灌浆进程中籽粒含N量的高低一致,“小偃6号”籽粒含N量始终高于“商188”和“9430”。在整个灌浆期间,籽粒中N累积速率显著高于P累积速率,灌浆末期表现更为明显。籽粒N的活跃累积期与千粒重呈显著正相关,提高籽粒中N累积速率有利于增加籽粒蛋白质含量。基因型是控制籽粒中N活跃累积期和N活跃平均累积速率的主要因子,而基因型对籽粒P活跃累积期和平均累积P速率无显著影响。施N虽然对灌浆期间籽粒N、P累积参数无显著影响,但在一定程度上可以提高灌浆进程中籽粒含N量,对最终籽粒N累积具有一定的促进作用。

两种施氮水平下不同基因型冬小麦叶片光合特性与形态差异的研究

田间试验研究不施N和施N(90kg/hm2)条件下“NR9405”、“9430”、“偃师9号”、“小偃6号”、“陕229”、“西农2208”、“矮丰3号”和“商188”等8种不同基因型冬小麦中后期生理特性及其叶片形态的差异结果表明,抽穗期倒二叶和灌浆期旗叶的净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率及瞬时水分利用效率在不同基因型间存在显著差异,施N仅能显著降低抽穗期倒二叶的蒸腾速率,而对功能叶的其他生理指标无明显影响。小麦成熟期旗叶和倒二叶的长度、宽度及叶面积在不同基因型间也存在极显著差异,施N对这些叶片形态指标有极显著地促进作用,基因型和N肥同时影响灌浆期旗叶的SPAD值,而叶片衰老指数主要受基因型调控。总体上看,冬小麦叶片形态指标同时受施N和基因型影响,而生理指标主要受基因型影响,N肥的影响相对较小。

设施条件下氮肥对大青菜硝酸盐及土壤矿质氮累积的影响

采用田间实验研究了施用氮肥对设施条件下大青菜生长发育和产量,以及对土壤硝酸盐含量累积分布的影响。结果表明,在施氮肥0~500 kg hm-2范围内,氮肥施用量越大,产量越高,但到达一定量时,便不能再促进产量的提高,反而会引起减产。土壤铵态氮含量随着土壤剖面向下不断下降,表层的铵态氮含量较高,土壤硝态氮含量在整个土壤剖面的分布变化较小,但也是从表层向下处于一种缓慢减少的趋势,铵态氮的累积主要集中在上部土壤剖面,硝态氮的累积分布在整个土壤剖面,土壤硝态氮含量随施肥量增加而增加;氮肥施用量对硝酸盐含量有很大影响。在施氮肥0~700kg hm-2范围内,氮肥施用量越多,大青菜硝酸盐含量越高。

Multi-site time-trend analysis of soil fertility management effects on crop production in sub-Saharan West Africa

Soil fertility constraints to crop production have been recognized widely as a major obstacle to food security and agro-ecosystem sustainability in sub-Saharan West Africa. As such, they have led to a multitude of research projects and policy debates on how best they should be overcome. Conclusions, based on long-term multi-site experiments, are lacking with respect to a regional assessment of phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizer effects, surface mulched crop residues, and legume rotations on total dry matter of cereals in this region. A mixed model time-trend analysis was used to investigate the effects of four nitrogen and phosphorus rates, annually applied crop residue dry matter at 500 and 2000 kg ha^-1, and cereal-legume rotation versus continuous cereal cropping on the total dry matter of cereals and legumes. The multi-factorial experiment was conducted over four years at eight locations, with annual rainfall ranging from 510 to 1300 mm, in Niger, Burkina Faso, and Togo. With the exception of phosphorus, treatment effects on legume growth were marginal. At most locations, except for typical Sudanian sites with very low base saturation and high rainfall, phosphorus effects on cereal total dry matter were much lower with rock phosphate than with soluble phosphorus, unless the rock phosphate was combined with an annual seed-placement of 4 kg ha^-1 phosphorus. Across all other treatments, nitrogen effects were negligible at 500 mm annual rainfall but at 900 mm, the highest nitrogen rate led to total dry matter increases of up to 77% and, at 1300 mm, to 183%. Mulch-induced increases in cereal total dry matter were larger with lower base saturation, reaching 45% on typical acid sandy Sahelian soils. Legume rotation effects tended to increase over time but were strongly species-dependent.

Clay pot irrigation for tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) production in the north east semiarid region of Ethiopia

Water shortage is one of the major constraints for production of horticultural crops in arid and semiarid regions. A field experiment was conducted to determine irrigation water and fertilizer use efficiency, growth and yield of tomato under clay pot irrigation at the experimental site of Sekota Dryland Agricultural Research Center, Lalibela, Ethiopia in 2009/10. The experiment comprised of five treatments including furrow irrigated control and clay pot irrigation with different plant population and fertilization methods, which were arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The highest total and marketable fruit yields were obtained from clay pot irrigation combined with application of nitrogen fertilizer with irrigation water irrespective of difference in plant population. The clay pot irrigation had seasonal water use of up to 143.71 mm, which resulted in significantly higher water use efficiency (33.62 kg m^-3) as compared to the furrow irrigation, which had a seasonal water use of 485.50 mm, and a water use efficiency of 6.67 kg m^-3. Application of nitrogen fertilizer with irrigation water in clay pots improved fertilizer use efficiency of tomato by up to 52% than band application with furrow or clay pot irrigation. Thus, clay pot irrigation with 33,333 plants ha^-1 and nitrogen fertilizer application with irrigation water in clay pots was the best method for increasing the yield of tomato while economizing the use of water and nitrogen fertilizer in a semiarid environment.

Leaching of nitrate from cropped rainfed terraces in the mid-hills of Nepal

Intensification of crop production in the mid-hills of Nepal has led to concerns that nitrogen loss by leaching may increase. This study estimated the amount of N leached during two years from rainfed terraces (bari-land) at three locations in Nepal. Maize or upland rice grown in the monsoon season was given either no nutrient inputs or inputs via either nitrogen fertilizer or farmyard manure. Nitrate concentration in soil solution was measured regularly with porous ceramic cup samplers and drainage estimated from a simple soil water balance. Estimated losses of nitrogen by leaching ranged from 0 to 63.5 kg N ha(-1) depending on location and the form of nitrogen applied. Losses from plots receiving no nutrient inputs were generally small (range: 0-35 kg N ha(-1)) and losses from plots where nitrogen was applied as manure (range: 2-41 kg N ha(-1)) were typically half those from plots with nitrogen applied as fertilizer. Losses during the post-monsoon crops of finger millet were small (typically <5% of total loss) although losses from the one site with blackgram were larger (about 13%). The highest concentrations of nitrate in solution were measured early in the season as the monsoon rains began and immediately following fertilizer applications. Leaching losses are likely to be minimised if manure is applied as a basal nutrient dressing followed by fertilizer nitrogen later in the season.

Heterosis for yield and its physiological determinants in wheat

Heterosis in hybrid wheat varieties produced using a chemical hybridising agent was assessed in field experiments. Hyno Esta and its parents were compared in factorial combinations of four-seed rates (25-300 seeds m(-2)) and two nitrogen fertilizer rates (0 and 200 kg N ha(-1)) in 2001/02 and again in 2002/03. Hyno Rista and Hyno Renta and their parents were compared at two-seed rates in 2001/02. Hyno Rista and its parents were added factorially to the Hyno Esta experiment in 2002/03, while Hyno Renta and Hybred and their parents were compared at two seed rates in 2002/03. Mid parent heterosis for grain yield was found in three hybrids and two of these showed high parent heterosis. High parent heterosis in Hyno Esta over a range of sowing densities was mostly exhibited in total biomass but also, in one of two years, in harvest index. High parent heterosis in Hyno Renta was associated more with harvest index than with biomass. The heterosis for biomass in Hyno Esta resulted from greater interception of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) than the male parent, with better radiation use efficiency than the female parent. In both seasons Hyno Esta achieved grain numbers per ear at least as high as the high parent for this trait (Audace), and combined this with mean grain weights at least as heavy as the high parent for mean grain weight (Estica). Much of the increased biomass and grain yield in the hybrid came late in the season as high parent heterosis was expressed for both maximum grain filling rate and grain filling duration. Heterosis was higher when nitrogen was applied than when withheld; only greater at lower seed rates when expressed in proportionate terms (e.g. as a percentage of the parents), rather than in absolute terms (e.g. t ha(-1)); and greater in the year with the cooler and wetter summer.

Relationships between gluten rheological properties and hearth loaf characteristics

The rheological properties of fresh gluten in small amplitude oscillation in shear (SAOS) and creep recovery after short application of stress was related to the hearth breadbaking performance of wheat flours using the multivariate statistics partial least squares (PLS) regression. The picture was completed by dough mixing and extensional properties, flour protein size distribution determined by SE-HPLC, and high molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) composition. The sample set comprised 20 wheat cultivars grown at two different levels of nitrogen fertilizer in one location. Flours yielding stiffer and more elastic glutens, with higher elastic and viscous moduli (G' and G") and lower tan 8 values in SAOS, gave doughs that were better able to retain their shape during proving and baking, resulting in breads of high form ratios. Creep recovery measurements after short application of stress showed that glutens from flours of good breadmaking quality had high relative elastic recovery. The nitrogen fertilizer level affected the protein size distribution by an increase in monomeric proteins (gliadins), which gave glutens of higher tan delta and flatter bread loaves (lower form ratio).

Mineralização de carbono e de nitrogênio provenientes de composto de lixo urbano em argissolo

Estudos da mineralização do C e do N em solos que receberam aplicação de composto de lixo urbano são importantes para avaliar o comportamento desse resíduo no solo e dar subsídios para definir as doses adequadas às culturas, com vistas em atender à necessidade de N das plantas. Foram realizados dois experimentos em condições de laboratório com o objetivo de avaliar a mineralização de C e de N em um Argissolo textura média adubado com composto de lixo urbano. No primeiro experimento, utilizou-se delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, com cinco tratamentos e três repetições, com os tratamentos constituídos de cinco doses de composto de lixo urbano, equivalentes a 0, 30, 60, 90 e 120 t ha-1. No segundo experimento, empregou-se esquema fatorial, com delineamento inteiramente ao acaso e três repetições, combinando as mesmas cinco doses de composto de lixo urbano utilizadas no primeiro experimento e 11 tempos de incubação (0, 7, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112 e 126 dias). Os maiores aumentos de N-NO3- no solo foram obtidos até os 42 dias de incubação, independentemente da dose de composto de lixo aplicada, percebendo-se, a partir dos 70 dias, tendência de estabilização. A fração de mineralização de C-orgânico em C-CO2 menor do que 2 % em 168 dias indica que o composto de lixo urbano é material que contribui para aumentar os estoques de matéria orgânica do solo. Na ausência de adubação nitrogenada complementar, a fração de mineralização de N-orgânico de 12 % em 126 dias evidencia que o composto de lixo urbano apresenta potencial fertilizante de liberação lenta de N para as plantas.
