Purpose
Accelerated erosion removes fertile top soil along with nutrients through runoff and sediments, eventually affecting crop productivity and land degradation. However, scanty information is available on soil and nutrient losses under different crop covers in a vertisol of Central India. Thus, a field experiment was conducted for 4 years (2010–2013) to study the effect of different crop cover combinations on soil and nutrient losses through runoff in a vertisol.
Materials and methodsVery limited information is available on runoff, soil, and nutrient losses under different vegetative covers in a rainfed vertisol. Thus, the hypothesis of the study was to evaluate if different crop cover combinations would have greater impact on reducing soil and nutrient losses compared to control plots in a vertisol.
This experiment consisted of seven treatment combinations of crop covers namely soybean (Glycine max) (CC1), maize (Zea mays) (CC2), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) (CC3), soybean (Glycine max)?+?maize (Zea mays) ??1:1 (CC4), soybean (Glycine ma x))?+?pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) ?2:1 (CC5), maize (Zea mays)?+?pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) ??1:1 (CC6), and cultivated fallow (CC7). The plot size was 10?×?5 m with 1% slope, and runoff and soil loss were measured using multi-slot devisor. All treatments were arranged in a randomized block design with three replications.
Results and discussionResults demonstrated that the runoff and soil loss were significantly (p?<?0.05) higher (289 mm and 3.92 Mg ha?1) under cultivated fallow than those in cropped plots. Among various crop covers, sole pigeon pea (CC3) recorded significantly higher runoff and soil loss (257 mm and 3.16 Mg ha?1) followed by that under sole maize (CC2) (235 mm and 2.85 Mg ha?1) and the intercrops were in the order of maize?+?pigeon pea (211 mm and 2.47 Mg ha?1) followed by soybean?+?maize (202 mm and 2.38 Mg ha?1), and soybean?+?pigeon pea (195 mm and 2.15 Mg ha?1). The lowest runoff and soil loss were recorded under soybean sole crop (194 mm and 2.27 Mg ha?1). The data on nutrient losses indicated that the highest losses of soil organic carbon (SOC) (25.83 kg ha?1), total nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) (7.76, 0.96, 32.5 kg ha?1) were recorded in cultivated fallow (CC7) as compared to those from sole and intercrop treatments. However, sole soybean and its intercrops recorded the minimum losses of SOC and total N, P, and K, whereas the maximum losses of nutrients were recorded under pigeon pea (CC3). The system productivity in terms of soybean grain equivalent yield (SGEY) was higher (p?<?0.05) from maize?+?pigeon pea (3358 kg ha?1) followed by that for soybean?+?pigeon pea (2191 kg ha?1) as compared to sole soybean. Therefore, maize?+?pigeon pea (1:1) intercropping is the promising option in reducing runoff, soil-nutrient losses, and enhancing crop productivity in the hot sub-humid eco-region.
ConclusionsStudy results highlight the need for maintenance of suitable vegetative cover as of great significance to diffusing the erosive energy of heavy rains and also safe guarding the soil resource from degradation by water erosion in vertisols.

Abstract Results of solution culture experiments on effects of N, P, and K deficiencies on S constituents of leaf blades, total S concentrations, and S uptake by soybean plants are reported. Nitrogen deficiency decreased the concentration of soluble protein S, had little effect on nonsoluble S, and increased concentrations of soluble nonprotein S, sulfate S, reduced non‐protein S, and total S of soybean leaf blades. Soluble protein and S content of soluble protein decreased under N‐deficient conditions. For whole plants, S concentration and S uptake increased while dry weight was unaffected by N deficiency. Phosphorus deficiency did not significantly affect S constituents of soybean leaf blades or whole plants. However, S concentrations and S uptake tended to decrease when P was deficient. Potassium deficiency increased nonsoluble S concentrations in leaf blades and total S concentrations in whole plants but lowered dry weight per plant. Other S fractions of the leaf blades and S uptake per plant were not significantly affected. 相似文献

The effect of iron (Fe) on ureide metabolism was examined in 45‐day‐old pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) (ureide plant) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) (amide plant). Plants were either inoculated with Rhizobium or fertilized with ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). The ureides, allantoin and allantoate, and allanotinase activity were increased in pigeon pea with Fe supplementation. Specific effect of Fe on ureide metabolism of pigeon pea was indicated by the lack of same effect in alfalfa under similar conditions. Nitrogenase activity was elevated with increasing concentrations of Fe in pigeon pea (ureide) as well as alfalfa (amide) symbiosis. Nitrogen (N2) fixation, ureides, and allantoinase activity were reduced at 10 ppm and above concentration of Fe. 相似文献

Aluminum (Al) tolerance and phosphate absorption in rape and tomato were compared under water culture and field conditions. The relative growth rate in the Al treatment compared with -A1 treatment was similar in the two crops under water culture conditions, while under field conditions, the growth rate was 2- to 3-fold higher in rape than in tomato in spite of the higher Al concentration in the soil solution than in the culture solution. The relative amount of phosphate absorbed in the Al treatment compared with - Al was not appreciably different between rape and tomato under water culture conditions, while under field conditions, it was 3- to 6-fold larger in rape than in tomato. The exudation rate of citric acid by roots was much higher in rape than in tomato. The plant growth, root elongation, and amount of phosphate absorbed in rape were inhibited in the 150 µM Al in the culture solution. However, the inhibition was alleviated by the addition of 200 µM citric acid or 500 µM malic acid. The P concentration in the culture solution decreased by the presence of Al as aluminum phosphate. However, addition of citric and malic acids increased the amount of phosphate released from the precipitated aluminum phosphate. In conclusion, one of the mechanisms for the higher Al tolerance and larger phosphate absorption in rape than in tomato under field conditions was ascribed to the higher concentration of exuded citric acid by Al in the rhizosphere. It was suggested that the exudation of citric acid might contribute to the detoxification of Al and to the increase phosphate availability in the rhizosphere in rape. 相似文献

Phosphorus (P) solubility and transformation in soils determine its availability to plants and loss potential to the environment, and soil P dynamics is impacted by fertilization and soil properties. A Ultisol sample was interacted with 20 mg L?1 P solution from one to ten times. The P-reacted soils were then analyzed for water-soluble P (0.01 M calcium chloride (CaCl2)–extractable P); plant-available P (Olsen P); ammonium chloride P, aluminum P, iron P (NH4Cl-P, Al-P, Fe-P, respectively); and occluded P (Oc-P). The degree of P saturation (DPS) was calculated from ammonium oxalate–extractable Al, Fe, and P. The amount of P sorbed by the soil was highly correlated with the frequency of P addition with high percentage of P adsorbed initially and gradually decreased as the P addition continued. The relative abundance of the five P fractions in the P-reacted soil was in the order of Fe-P (36.5 percent) > Al-P (35.6 percent) > Oc-P (22.8 percent) > Ca-P (2.7 percent) > NH4Cl-P (2.3 percent). Both Olsen P and CaCl2-P were significantly increased by the repeated P addition process and highly correlated in an exponential function. The DPS was increased above the so-called critical point of 25 percent after the first P saturation process and kept increasing as the P addition continued. The P availability and adsorption in the soil were controlled by soil free and amorphous Al and Fe. The results suggest that repeated P application will build soil P to an excessive level, and consequently result in poor P-use efficiency and high P-loss potential to surface and groundwater. 相似文献

The role of phosphorus (P) in the amelioration of aluminum (Al) toxicity to plants is still unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the amelioration of Al toxicity by P supply. The study involved growing Al-sensitive wheat seedlings for 13 days in an acidic soil [pH 4.5 in calcium chloride (CaCl2)] with increasing added rates of P (0, 20, 40, and 80 mg P kg?1 soil) and Al [0, 50, and 150 mg aluminum chloride (AlCl3) kg?1 soil]. The results indicated that the effects of Al toxicity in this soil could be fully alleviated by the application of P at 50 mg AlCl3 kg?1. The 150 mg kg?1 AlCl3 treatment significantly reduced root growth, but this was partially overcome by the 80 mg kg?1 P treatment. High P significantly reduced the concentration of Al in the apoplast, root, and shoot. It is possible that an insoluble Al-P complex forms in the soil and this decreases Al bound in apoplast as well as uptake into the roots. High P decreased the translocation of Al from root to shoot. This study also concluded that detoxification of Al3+ by P mainly occurs in soil but not within the plant tissue. 相似文献

The potential of five common aquatic plant species (Typha latifolia, Myriophyllum exalbescens, Potamogeton epihydrus, Sparganium angustifolium and Sparganium multipedunculatum)to be used for Al phytoremediation was tested. The plants were exposed, for 14 days under hydroponic conditions, to synthetic effluents representing extreme conditions that could occur accidentally at an aluminum refinery site. Tested Al concentrationsranged between 0 and 400 μM, fluoride concentrations between 0 and 900 μM, and the pH varied from 4.5 to 7.5. The results indicate that all the plants tested accumulated aluminum, and as a result induced a decrease of Al in the ambient water. For individual species Al uptake (in mol g-1 dw d-1) decreased in the following order: Myriophyllum exalbescens > Sparganium sp. ≌Typha latifolia > Potamogeton epihydrus. M. exalbescens accumulated Al more rapidly in its leaves than in other tissues, whereas T. latifolia and Sparganium sp. accumulated Al essentially in their roots. For P. epihydrus the relative importance of the leaves and roots varied with exposure conditions. For all species, fluoro-Al complexes contributed to Al uptake, contrary to the predictions of the Free-Ion Model, according to which the bioavailability of aluminum should be best predicted by the concentration of the free ion, Al3+. The influence of pH on Al uptake varied among the different species and among the parts of the plant: competition between Al and the H+-ion was evident for the roots of T. latifolia and the leaves and stem of M. exalbescensand P. epihydrus, whereas the roots of M. exalbescens, P. epihydrus and Sparganium sp. showed an inverse trend (Al uptake increased at low pH). For the leaves of T. latifolia and Sparganium sp., no pH influence could be demonstrated. Overall, the results of this study indicate that aquatic plants have a potential for Al phytoremediation. 相似文献

The effects of aluminum on the uptake and translocation of N in two hybrid cultivars of sorghum with differential tolerance to aluminum were studied.
Aluminum decreased the amount of N accumulated and the % of N in the aerial parts of the plants. In the roots the amount of N accumulated also decreased but the % of N increased, in both cultivars. Besides an effect on dry matter yield, Al probably reduces the uptake of N and its translocation to the aerial parts of the plant. Apparently, this impairment on N translocation resulted from Al effects on the root pressure.
Aluminum not only reduced the amount of N translocated but also changed the sap composition. The % of NO3 ‐N decreased while the % of amino acid‐N increased suggesting an Al effect on N uptake and also on protein degradation. Asparagine and glutamine contributed about 80% of the free amino acid fraction; however, their proportions changed in presence of Al. Therefore, Al also interfered with the synthesis and/or interconversion of these amino acids. 相似文献

Chickpea [Cicer arietinum (L.)] and pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] were grown outside in large clay pots from 1992 to 1995 in Edmond, Oklahoma. Plants were studied to evaluate nodulation, nitrogenase activity, and shoot dry weight (DW) of ‘ICCV-2’ and ‘Sarah’ chickpea inoculated with multistrain, TAL 1148, and TAL 480 Bradyrhizobium, as well as ‘Georgia-1’ and ‘ICPL-87’, pigeon pea inoculated with multistrain TAL 1127, and TAL 1132 Bradyrhizobium. Following wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.) emend. Thell.] harvests in the spring, legumes were planted in the summer and harvested at three successive dates during the following months. Leaves and stems from remaining plants were incorporated into the soil after the last harvest. Across year, chickpea measurements were sensitive to temperature and precipitation whereas pigeon pea measurements were sensitive to length of growing season as well as climate. Pigeon pea consistently demonstrated higher nitrogen-fixing capacity and shoot DW compared with chickpea. Nodule and shoot DW of both species increased with plant age whereas nodule count and nitrogenase activity generally increased with plant age and leveled off or decreased at flowering. Sarah chickpea demonstrated higher nodule count and nodule DW than ICCV-2, as did the Georgia-1 pigeon pea compared with ICPL-87. Shoot DW of Georgia-1 pigeon pea was generally higher than that of ICPL-87. Multistrain inoculum improved nodulation and shoot DW of chickpea, and TAL 1127 improved nodulation of pigeon pea compared with other treatments. These results indicate that specific chickpea and pigeon pea cultivars, along with appropriate Bradyrhizobium strains, may improve nitrogen fixation and DW of these species. 相似文献

AbstractThe objective of this study was to investigate the effect of silicon (Si) on growth, nutrient uptake, and yield of peanut under aluminum (Al) stress. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. cv. Zhonghua 4) raised with or without Si (1.5?mM) in the growth chamber under 0 and toxic Al (0.3?mM) levels. Aluminum stress significantly decreased the biomass and root dry weight by 12.9% and 10.7%, and the pod yield, number of mature pod per plant and seed number of per pod by 16.7%, 10.7%, and 13.9%. The content of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) was significantly decreased, but that of Al increased markedly in shoots and roots of peanut after Al exposure at seedling, flower-needle and pod-setting stage. Under Al stress condition, Si application protected peanut by improving nutrient uptake at different growth stages and favoring the partitioning of dry mass to pod and the allocation of tissue N, P, K, Ca, and Mg to shoots and pod and decreasing Al uptake and accumulation. 相似文献

Effect of CO2 enrichment on the carbon-nitrogen balance in whole plant and the acclimation of photosynthesis was studied in wheat (spring wheat) and soybean (A62-1 [nodulated] and A62-2 [non-nodulated]) with a combination of two nitrogen application rates (0 g N land area m-2 and 30 g N land area m-2) and two temperature treatments (30/20°C (day/night) and 26/16°C). Results were as follows. 1. Carbon (dry matter)-nitrogen balance of whole plant throughout growth was remarkably different between wheat and soybean, as follows: 1) in wheat, the relationship between the amount of dry matter (DMt) and amount of nitrogen absorbed (Nt) in whole plant was expressed by an exponential regression, in which the regression coefficient was affected by only the nitrogen application rate, and not by CO2 and temperature treatments, and 2) in soybean the DMt-Nt relationship was basically expressed by a linear regression, in which the regression coefficient was only slightly affected by the nitrogen treatment (at 0N, DMt-Nt balance finally converged to a linear regression). Thus, carbon-nitrogen interaction in wheat was strongly affected by the underground environment (nitrogen nutrition), but not by the above ground environment (CO2 enrichment and temperature), while that in soybean was less affected by both under and above ground environments. 2. The photosynthetic response curve to CO2 concentration in wheat and soybean was less affected by the CO2 enrichment treatment, while that in wheat and soybean (A62-2) was affected by the nitrogen treatment, indicating that nitrogen nutrition is a more important factor for the regulation of photosynthesis regardless of the CO2 enrichment. 3. Carbon isotope discrimination (..:1) in soybean was similar to that in wheat under ambient CO2, while lower than that in wheat under CO2 enrichment, suggesting that the carbon metabolism is considerably different between wheat and soybean under the CO2 enrichment conditions. 相似文献

AbstractLegumes have a unique ability to obtain a significant portion of atmospheric nitrogen (N2) through a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobia spp of bacteria but it takes time, thus, an early supply of N to the plant may positively influence growth and development. However, too much fertilizer in close proximity to the seed can damage the seedling. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the maximum safe rates for starter seed-row fertilizer application under low seedbed utilization conditions (15%). Emergence, biomass yield and nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) uptake responses to starter fertilizer products and blends applied at 0, 10, 20 and 30?kg?N?ha?1 in the seed-row were investigated for six different pulse crops: soybean, pea, faba bean, black bean, lentil and chickpea. The general sensitivity (injury potential) for starter N, P, S fertilizer was lentil?≥?pea?≥?chickpea?>?soybean?≥?black bean?>?faba bean. Lentil, pea and chickpea could generally only tolerate the 10?kg?N?ha?1 rates while soybean and black bean could tolerate 10–20?kg?N?ha?1. Faba bean emergence appeared relatively unaffected by all three rates of N and showed least sensitivity to seed row placed fertilizer. In terms of 30-day biomass response, soybean and black bean were most responsive to fertilization, while pea, faba bean, lentil and chickpea were least responsive to the starter fertilizer applications, with no benefit increasing above the 10?kg?N?ha?1 rate. 相似文献

Spotty chlorosis appeared on the young leaves of Al toxic plants and was severe or high Al level. Stems of the Al‐treated plants were purple While the roots were short, thick and brown in colour with little branching. The dry matter yield of tops and roots decreased with increased Al level. The concentration of P was greater in roots of Al toxic plants than in the control plants but a converse affect was recorded in tops. Increased rates of Al caused a decrease in the concentrations of P,K,Ca, Mc and Mn in plant tops, while Al concentration increased both in tops and roots. Iron content in tops affected with increased Al and in root a regular increase was observed. The results indicate that Al toxicity depressed the growth of oats, resulted in abnormal root development with tittle branching and affecting the utilization of several essential plant nutrients by oat plant. 相似文献

Among plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. are an important group affecting plant growth. Pigeon pea is an important pulse crop and most of the studies were aimed at using Pseudomonas spp. for pest management in pigeon pea. Seventy-five fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. were isolated from diverse agroecosystems of India and evaluated for their plant-growth-promoting ability, primarily by the paper cup method. Seventeen selected isolates were further evaluated by short-term pot assay for plant growth promotion. Seeds treated with bacteria showed greater nutrient concentration and growth than the control. Isolate P17 showed significant growth promotion in terms of root length (54.5 cm), dry mass (323 mg), chlorophyll (24 spad units), carbohydrates (21.2 percent), nitrogen (2.45 percent), calcium (1.82 percent), iron (984 ppm), and manganese (564 ppm). Pseudomonas sp. P17 strain was identified as a potential PGPR for nutrient uptake and plant growth promotion in pigeon pea, and this finding paves a way for integrated plant nutrient management in rainfed agroecosystems. 相似文献

大豆在利用不同氮源时对土壤磷形态和有效性的影响 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
通过盆栽培养方法,在土壤中可利用磷基本耗竭条件下,研究供给两种不同氮源的大豆对土壤中有机和无机磷的利用和形态转化的影响。结果表明,生物固氮处理大豆吸收的总磷量比尿素处理多58.0%,而对磷素的利用效率仅下降了3.3%。无论供给哪种形态氮源,种植大豆后土壤中各形态无机磷含量总体表现为O-P>Al-P>Fe-P>Ca10-P>Ca8-P>Ca2-P,有机磷的含量表现为:中等活性有机磷(MLOP)>高稳性有机磷(HROP)>中稳性有机磷(MROP)>活性有机磷(LOP)。生物固氮处理,Al-P和O-P成为维持大豆生长的主要磷源,而尿素处理只有O-P。生物固氮处理主要是促进土壤中的MLOP和MROP矿化分解,分别减少了29.48 mg/kg和14.16 mg/kg;尿素处理土壤中的MROP和HROP转化的程度较大,分别减少了12.47 mg/kg和3.68 mg/kg。比较而言,尿素处理的大豆从土壤中获得有机磷的能力不及生物固氮处理。 相似文献

Standard white oat genotypes were subjected to different methods and aluminum (Al) levels under hydroponic conditions to verify the relationship between plantlet characteristics and their Al tolerance using multivariate analyses. A completely randomized design with three replications was used, adopting three evaluation protocols: “complete nutrient solution” with 0, 8, 16, and 32 mg L?1 of Al supplied as aluminum sulfate [Al2(SO4)3·18H2O]; “complete nutrient solution” with 0, 8, 16 and 32 mg L?1 of Al supplied as aluminum chloride (Al2Cl3?6H2O); and the “minimum nutrient solution” with 0, 1, 3, and 5 mg L?1 of Al supplied as Al2Cl3?6H2O. The performance of white oat plantlet genotypes subjected to excess Al in hydroponic conditions is greatly associated with root length, where the nutrient solution composition and the Al sources interfere in these associations. The study based on the joint analysis of characteristics at plantlet level does not allow an efficient discrimination of Al-tolerant and Al-sensitive white oat genotypes. 相似文献

Abstract A comparison of corncob compost with lime on plant growth was studied in acid red soil with pH of 4.07. Lettuce, pea, and corn were selected as test plants for their varying tolerance to acid soil. The pot experiment compared six soil treatments and a check. Soil amendments were 1, 2, and 4 cmol calcium carbonate (CaCO3) kg‐1 and 5, 10, and 20 g corncob compost kg‐1 soil. Results showed higher manganese (Mn) than aluminum (Al) content of the shoot in all check group plants. Reduced shoot Mn content increased shoot dry weight in all test plants, regardless of acid soil tolerance or soil treatment. The higher the test plant resistance to soil acidity, the weaker the detoxification effect of corncob compost was on Al uptake when compared with the check group. Liming was more effective at reducing shoot Mn content than corncob compost with the exception of the more acidity sensitive lettuce. Shoot phosphorus (P) content, however, increased with corncob compost from enhanced organic matter rates. Corncob compost treatments significantly increased shoot dry weight over liming in the acid soil. This study demonstrated an environmentally acceptable use for an agricultural waste. 相似文献
