Dynamic model for the effects of K-fertilizer on crop growth, K-uptake and soil-K in arable cropping. 1. Description of the model 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Abstract. To provide a practical aid to improving fertilizer practice a mechanistic model was developed that can be readily calibrated for widely different crops. Most of the inputs are easy to obtain and the others, the amounts of fixed soil-K and the velocity constants for fixation and release of soil-K, can be readily measured by a novel procedure which is described.
The model calculates for each day the potential increase in plant weight and the increment in root length, from the current plant mass, its %K and pan evaporation. It calculates the maximum amount of K that could be transported through soil to the root surfaces. It modifies this potential uptake by taking account of the 'feedback' of plant K on root absorption to give the actual uptake and a new %K in the plant. It calculates the radii of the depletion zones around each root increment and the interchange between the solution, exchangeable and fixed-K in these zones and also in the undepleted regions of soil. Routines are included for the effects of weather on the various processes. Differences between species are accommodated by selecting one of three algorithms for root growth and by adjusting the values of two crop-K parameters that define the decline in a critical and a maximum possible %K with increase in plant mass per unit area.

Abstract. The SOILN model with a crop growth submodel for grass and cereal crops and the associated soil water and heat model SOIL were selected out of a number of similar models to simulate nitrogen cycling in a soil/crop system. The main parameter values required by the model were selected on the basis of a combination of field experiments and literature sources. Experimental data measured on grassland at Dumfries in the West of Scotland and on arable land at Bush Estate near Edinburgh were used to test the model. Simulated biomass yields and nitrogen contents of harvested biomass were in reasonable agreement with measured values for both grass and cereal crops. There were similar trends in accumulated leached nitrate between the simulations and experiments at the sites. Any discrepancy between simulated and measured nitrate leached appeared to correspond to similar discrepancies between simulated and measured water flow. The comparison between simulated and experimental results suggests that the model with the selected parameter values can simulate nitrogen and carbon cycling both in grassland and in arable land, and make convincing predictions about the effects of varying soil, crop, fertilizer and manure management practices. A basic sensitivity analysis carried out on the parameters determining the biological and biochemical processes showed the model predictions of annual N-leaching are relatively insensitive to all but two of the plant parameters. However, the model predictions of annual N-harvested and dry mass production are sensitive to numerous plant parameters. 相似文献

Abstract. An easy-to-use simulation model was developed with the aim of improving fertilizer practice when crop residues are incorporated instead of removed. It was tested against data from a well-monitored N fertilizer experiment in which three successive brassica crops were grown followed by barley.
Experimental findings included: (a) that fertilizer-N greatly increased yield of 3 crops without increasing residual soil mineral-N at harvest unless supply exceeded crop demand; (b) that, by contrast, fertilizer-N increased both yield of and residual soil mineral-N left by the remaining crop throughout the range of applications; and (c) that at each harvest the apparent disappearance of fertilizer-N by immobilization and other processes was almost proportional to fertilizer-N. These phenomena were simulated by the model.
Overall the model gave estimates of soil mineral-N, plant weight and % N in the crop for each crop that were either in close agreement with or linearly related to the measured values. Deviations from this pattern are shown to result almost entirely from experimental error. In addition the model gave simulations of the time course of soil mineral-N and soil water that were in good agreement with measurement.
Simulations with the model indicate that appreciable benefits from residue incorporation of crops will only be obtained when fertilizer-N is also applied, unless plant masses at harvest are small. 相似文献

Abstract. Uptake in grass crops of ammonium acetate lactate extractable K (KAL ) and reserve K (interlayer K + structural K) in soil was studied in 16 field experiments at different locations on a range of mineral soil types in Norway. The K uptake from soil, both from KAL and reserve K, was considerable, often even at the highest level of K fertilizer. During three years, only on the sandy soils with a low level of acid soluble K (KHNO3 minus KAL ) was there a yield response to K fertilization. The KAL values declined rapidly and flattened off at a 'minimum level' which differed with soil type. This minimum level for KAL is a useful parameter in fertilizer planning, because the grass usually took up the K in excess of the minimum level over two years. The minimum value of KAL was significantly correlated with the content of clay + silt in soil. The decrease in KAL during the growing season was closely correlated to the KAL value in spring minus the minimum value and, therefore, the amount of K supplied to the grass from the KAL fraction can be calculated. Furthermore, the KAL value for the following spring may be estimated. The release from reserve K was partially related to acid soluble K. 相似文献

Environmental fate and dissipation of the sulfonylurea herbicide sulfosulfuron was investigated in soil (inceptisol) and wheat plant under predominant cropping conditions. Studies were conducted in natural field conditions and in a simulated model ecosystem. Thirty days after the wheat seeds had been sown, sulfosulfuron [N-[[(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)amino]carbonyl]-2-(ethylsulfonyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-sulfonamide] 75% w/w WG formulation was applied once in the field. The dosages were 25 and 50 g of active ingredient (ai)/ha. Studies were conducted in significantly separated individual plots to avoid contamination. In a predetermined interval, soil samples were collected and analyzed for the residues of sulfosulfuron. At harvest, wheat grain, straw, and soil samples were analyzed for the residues. Similar experiments were conducted in a model ecosystem. Apart from this, after harvest, the succeeding crops coriander (Coriandrum sativum) and edible amaranth (Amaranthus mangostanus L.) were raised in the model ecosystem and studied for the residues. No residues were detected in wheat grain, straw, and soil samples collected at harvest from both experiments or in the succeeding crops coriander and edible amaranth in the model ecosystem when tested at the minimum detection level of 0.001 microg/g. The dissipation of sulfosulfuron was found to have first-order kinetics in soil and plant in both studies. The dissipation data of sulfosulfuron in the model ecosystem were compared with those from the natural field conditions. 相似文献

Data from 147 field trials were collected to study the influence of straw incorporation on soil potassium (K) under an intensive rice–oilseed rape rotation system, while pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of rice straw incorporation on soil K availability. A significant correlation was observed between the soil available K and the relative yield (RRY) and the relative K uptake (RKU) of oilseed rape, with R2 values ranging from 0.07 to 0.08 and from 0.10 to 0.11, respectively, when data were fitted to a logarithmic equation model. In approximately 30% of trials, RRY reached 90%, while soil test available K values were below the critical limit, indicating that soil K values at the time of sampling (within 1 week of rice harvest) underestimated the actual soil K supply capacity. The pot experiment results showed that soil available K was affected by straw incorporation and soil type in the fallow period. The NH4OAc‐K and NaBPh4‐K concentrations of soils increased at first, and then, plateaued after 28 days. Straw incorporation significantly influenced the critical soil K concentration, which is important for making accurate K fertilizer recommendation. These results suggested that straw K should be seriously considered in making K fertilizer recommendations. Extending the sampling time from 1 to 3 weeks after the harvesting of rice to stabilize the effects of straw incorporation may help achieve a more accurate evaluation of soil available K. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Field experiments were carried out for three consecutive years (2003–2006) at Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute farm soil on plant (first crop after planting) and subsequent two ratoon crops of sugarcane. The main objectives of the study were to assess the direct and residual effects of organic and inorganic fertilizer on growth, yield, and juice quality of plant and ratoon crops. The plant crop consisted of four treatments. After harvesting of plant crop to evaluate the residual effects on ratoon crop the plots were subdivided except the control plot. Thus, there were seven treatments in the ratoon crop. Application of recommended fertilizer [nitrogen (N150), phosphorus (P52), potassium (K90), sulfur (S35), and zinc (Zn3) kg ha? 1] singly or 25% less of it either with press mud or farmyard manure (FYM) at 15 t ha? 1 produced statistically identical yield ranged from 67.5 to 69.0 t ha? 1 in plant crop. In the ratoon experiment when the recommended fertilizer was applied alone or 25% less of its either with press mud or FYM at 15 or even 7.5 t ha? 1 again produced better yield; it ranged from 64.8 to 69.2 in first ratoon and 68.2 to 76.5 t ha? 1 in second ratoon crops. Results showed that N, P, K, and S content in leaf progressively decreased in ratoon crops over plant crop. Juice quality parameters viz. brix, pol, and purity % remained unchanged both in plant and ratoon crops. Furthermore, organic carbon (C), available N, P, K, and S were higher in post harvest soils that received inorganic fertilizer in combination with organic manure than control and inorganic fertilizer treated soil. It may be concluded that the application of 25% less of recommended fertilizer (N112, P40, K68, S26, and Zn2.2.5 kg ha? 1) either with press mud or FYM at 15 t ha? 1 was adequate for optimum yield of plant crop. Results also suggest that additional N (50% extra dosage) keeping all other fertilizers at the same level like plant crop i.e. N168, P40, K68, S26, and Zn2.25 kg ha? 1 either with press mud or FYM at 7.5 t ha? 1 may be recommended for subsequent ratoon crops to obtain good yield without deterioration in soil fertility. 相似文献

Abstract Assessing the fertilizer phosphorus requirement (FPR) of crops is an important component of research for efficient and rational use of fertilizers. Soil and plant tests are used to determine the FPR of crops. Two methods were evaluated for determining the FPR of upland rice grown on an Ultisol in the humid forest zone of Cote d'Ivoire. The first method used a simple model based on P uptake using the equation: FPR=(Up‐U0)/PRF, where Up is P uptake at a given yield, Uo is P uptake from unfertilized soil, and PRF is the P recovery fraction of applied P. The parameters, U0, Up, and FPR were determined in field experiments for the rice cultivars grown on an Ultisol under rainfed upland conditions. The second method was based on the P applied, P uptake, and grain yield relationships for upland rice. First, P uptake at a given rice yield was determined from the relationship between total P uptake and grain yield. The amount of fertilizer P applied for the given P uptake and grain yield was then, determined from the relationship between P applied and P uptake. There was a good agreement between the observed values of FPR and the predicted values of FPR determined by the two methods. The results suggest that the simple model based on P uptake can be utilized for determining the fertilizer P requirements of crops. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Potassium (K) nutrition of rice-wheat (RW) systems of the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) of South Asia is important because of its role in productivity and the large quantities of this macronutrient that are extracted by such intensive cropping systems. Field experiments on the RW cropping sequence were conducted at three locations in Bangladesh with three soil types. Two fertilizer doses—farmers' practice (FP) and soil-test based (STB)—of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), K and other nutrients were combined with mungbean or maize as a third crop. The objective of the experiments was to detect K deficiency, if any, in rice, wheat, mungbean, and maize, and to compare the FP- and STB-based sequences in terms of the K nutrition of those crops and the apparent K balance in soil. Frequent K deficiency was observed in rice and wheat at all sites, especially at Ishwordi, while maize was less affected and mungbean not deficient. There was a significant effect of fertilizer on K uptake by maize, mungbean, and rice, but little effect of the retention of mungbean residue on K uptake by crops at any site. Mean annual system-level K uptake was greatest at Ishwordi (126–239 kg ha?1) and least at Joydebpur (64–116 kg ha?1). The majority of K uptake was in straw and the proportion in grain varied little across sites (range: 11%–29%). There were large negative apparent K balances in all treatments at all sites (range: ?25–212 kg ha?1), with the greatest at Ishwordi and the smallest at Joydebpur. Soil K balance responded differently to the retention of residues across soils, and positive effects could be observed on clayey soils. Long-term experiments will be required to monitor soil and plant K dynamics under various fertilizer and residue management of crops in RW systems of the IGP. 相似文献

Abstract Crop modelling can provide us with a vast amount of real-time information about fertilizer dose to achieve the target yield, crop conditions, etc. Nutrient-use efficiency in wheat is low because of conventional blanket and imbalanced fertilizer use. Estimation of fertilizer requirements based on quantitative approaches can assist in improving yields and nutrient-use efficiency. Field experiments were conducted in 20 sites in eastern India to assess the soil supply, requirement and internal efficiency of nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), potassium (K) and zinc (Zn) in wheat. The data were used to calibrate the QUEFTS (QUantitative Evaluation of the Fertility of Tropical Soils) model for site-specific, balanced fertilizer recommendations. The parameters of maximum accumulation (a) and maximum dilution (d) in wheat were calculated for N (35 and 100 kg), P (129 and 738 kg), K (17 and 56 kg), and Zn (21502 and 140244 mg). Grain yield of wheat showed good correlation with N (R2 = 0.937??), P (R2 = 0.901??) and K uptake (R2 = 0.801??). The NPK ratio to produce 1 ton grain yield of wheat was derived to be 4.9:1.0:8.9. The relationships between chemical properties and nutrient supplying capacity of soils were also established. The model was validated using the data of four other experiments. Observed yields with different amounts of N, P, K and Zn were in good agreement with the predicted values suggesting that the validated QUEFTS model can be used for site-specific nutrient management in wheat. 相似文献

Soil and tissue analyses are usually used in identifying potassium(K) deficiencies and predicting K fertilizer requirements of crops.The critical levels of both soil and fresh leaf tissue at seventh leaf stage were developed and assessed for canola,chickpea and sunflower grown on two saskatchewan,soils,with six rates of K fertilizer supply.in a growth chamber experiment.The available potassium in soils was detemined by two methods:1)resin strip extraction,and 2)NH4OAC extraction.The potassium in fresh leaves was determined at seventh leaf stage by a simple procedure using a common garlic press and injector to extract the plant sap and testing the sap with a handheld ion selection electrode meter,The results showed significant relationships between the resin strip extractable K and NH4OAC extractable K,and between the plant uptake of total K and the supple of available K in the soils determined by the two methods.Good relationships were also found between the potassium in fresh leaves and the plant uptake of totak K for canola,chickpea and sunflower.The resin strip extraction for K was calibrated using common NH4OAC extraction,and recommended for routine analyses because of its simplicity and sensitivity. 相似文献

To identify the best combinations of micronutrient-based fertilization treatments in terms of crop yield and nutrient uptake, three field experiments with greengram?fingermillet as the test sequence with 12 treatments on micronutrient-based fertilization [with recommended nitrogen (N)?phosphorus (P)?potassium (K) fertilizer] were conducted during 2005 to 2007 in a semi-arid Alfisol at Bangalore. The effects of treatments on available soil and plant uptake of nutrients [N, P, K, sulfur (S), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), and molybdenum (Mo)] and yield of crops were assessed based on standard analysis of variance procedure. Using the relationships of yield with soil and plant nutrient variables, regression models of yield through soil and plant variables were calibrated and effects of variables on crop yields were assessed. The models gave high and significant yield predictability in the range of 0.87 to 0.98 through different variables. The model of plant uptake through soil nutrients indicated that soil S, Fe, and Zn had significant positive effects, whereas soil N, K, B, and Mo had negative effects on plant nutrient status in greengram. Similarly, soil P, Mn, and Zn had significant positive effects, whereas soil N, K, and Fe had negative effects on plant uptake of nutrients in fingermillet. Based on a relative efficiency index (REI) criteria, T2 for plant uptake and T12 for maintaining soil nutrients were found to be superior in greengram, whereas T2 for plant uptake and T8 for maintaining soil nutrients were found to be superior in fingermillet over years based on REI. The combined REI over soil and plant nutrients for both crops indicated that application of T8 for greengram and T2 for fingermillet could be prescribed for attaining maximum plant uptake of nutrients and productivity of crops in sequence, apart from maintaining maximum soil fertility of nutrients under semi-arid Alfisols. 相似文献

ABSTRACTPotassium (K) deficiency in crops in southern US Coastal Plain soils has been documented since the l880s. Long-term soil fertility studies such as Alabama’s “Cullars Rotation” experiment (circa 1911) have been conducted with K since 1911. Other Alabama long-term experiments on several Coastal Plain and related Hapludults, Paleudults, and Kandiudults also contain K variable treatments which have been monitored since 1929. Soil test data from these long-term experiments have allowed us to answer some practical questions regarding K dynamics in Coastal Plain soils. Potassium movement through the soil profile is dependent on the soil’s cation exchange capacity (CEC) but relative accumulation is greater in the plow layer regardless of soil CEC. While subsoil K testing may be useful for identifying situations where subsoil K has been depleted, this extra effort and expense is not necessary for most cropping situations. A crop will remove most of its K from the plow layer if it is present in sufficient quantity based on soil test. Crop depletion of plow-layer K to the point where yield may be reduced is gradual and may take 10–15 years or more depending upon soil CEC and initial soil K concentration. Depletion is most rapid in low CEC soils as would be expected. However, soil test K can vary considerably during the course of a crop season with the lowest soil test K concentrations occurring immediately after harvest. 相似文献
