Effect of pressing time on physical and mechanical properties of phenolic-impregnated bamboo strips was evaluated. Bamboo strips (Gigantochloa scortechinii) were impregnated with low molecular weight phenol formaldehyde (LMwPF) resin. Samples were submerged in LMwPF resin using a vacuum chamber of 750 mmHg for 1 h before it was released within 1.5 h. Treated strips were dried in an oven with a temperature of 60 °C within 6–9 h. It was hot pressed at 14 kg m?2 and a temperature of 140 °C for 5, 8, 11, 14 and 17 min. The physical and mechanical properties of the test indicated that the properties of phenolic-treated strips have significantly increased as compared to control samples. Dimensional stability (water absorption, thickness swelling and linear expansion) of the phenolic-treated properties were significantly lower than control after 5-min pressing time. The antishrink efficiency (ASE) of phenolic-treated strips increased when pressing time were extended from 5 to 17 min. The mean value of modulus of rupture (MOR) for the control samples (177 N mm?2) showed a significant difference with phenolic-treated strips after 17-min pressing time (224 N mm?2). However, there is no significant difference in compression parallel to grain. The MOE of phenolic-treated strips was 21,777 N mm?2 and for control was 18,249 N mm?2, whereas the compression parallel to grain values for phenolic-treated and control samples were 94 and at 77 N mm?2, respectively.  相似文献

This study was carried out to explore the possibility of making cement-bonded wood-wool composite building products using eucalypt (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) and poplar (Populus deltoides). The experimental design consisted of three treatments - ratio of wood-wool mixture, percentage concentration of cement, and calcium chloride (CaCl2). The mechanical properties in terms of modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE) and internal bond (IB) strength were investigated. The ratios of wood-wool to cement were 40:60 and 60:40 by weight. The addition of the woody material to cement clearly reduced the maximum hydration temperature and increased the time to maximum temperature. Eucalypt was generally less compatible with cement than poplar wood. Test results showed that boards made with poplar wood-wools had superior properties compared to the eucalypt and mixed wood-wools. The presence of eucalypt in mixture of woody materials typically resulted in decrease in mechanical properties. It has been noted that a dose of 5% of CaCl2 by weight of cement can enhance the effect of cement. Application of Duncan's Multiple Range Test for the mean values of the results showed that the effects of all variables and their interactions on the mechanical properties in terms of MOR, MOE and IB were highly significant (p ≤ 0.01%). The mechanical properties of most produced boards were found to satisfy the minimum requirements of ISO standard.  相似文献

Coconut husks, residues generated during coconut processing, are available in abundant quantities in many parts of the tropics but are often treated as a waste material. This study investigated the effects of particle size and calcium chloride (CaCl2) on strength and sorption properties of cement-bonded composites produced from coconut (Cocos nucifera) husk. Particle size, CaCl2 and the interaction of both variables had significant effects (p < 0.05) on the density and the Modulus of Elasticity (MOE), while only particle size had significant effects (p < 0.05) on the Modulus of Rupture (MOR) of the composites. MOE, MOR, Water Absorption and Thickness Swelling (at 24 h) compare favourably with values reported for cement-bonded composites produced from similar lignocellulosics. These properties can be exploited in many applications where lightweight concretes are required.  相似文献

The brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is a classical resurgent rice pest induced by insecticides. The past focus on resurgence mechanisms has been on the stimulation of the reproduction of adult females induced by insecticides. To date, the role that males play as a resurgence of N. lugens has not been investigated. The present study examined changes in protein levels in both male accessory glands and female ovaries induced by the insecticides triazophos and deltamethrin as well as the stimulating effect of treated males on the fecundity of adult females via mating following foliar sprays of the insecticides. For adults that had been exposed as nymphs to treated rice plants, the protein content in both the male accessory glands and in the female ovaries of N. lugens were significantly affected by male mating status, insecticide and insecticide concentration. There was a higher protein content in male accessory glands when males were exposed to triazophos as third instars compared to fifth instars, and there was a higher protein content before mating compared to after mating. In addition, the protein levels in male accessory glands after mating for individuals exposed to high doses of the two insecticides as 3rd and 5th instars were significantly lower than untreated control except for exposed to triazophos as 3rd instar, indicating that treated males transferred more male accessory gland protein to adult females via mating. The protein content was also affected by different combinations of treated mating pairs. Adult males (♂t) developed from third instar nymphs treated with triazophos stimulated the fecundity of the female significantly via mating (♂t × ♀ck) with untreated females (♀ck) (control females), increasing the reproductive rate by 43.5% as compared to the mating (♂ck × ♀ck) of untreated males and females. Also, the fecundity of the females after the mating (♂t × ♀t) of treated males and females was significantly higher than that after the mating (♂ck × ♀t) of untreated males with treated females. These findings indicated that the reproductive effects of insecticide on males can be transferred to females via mating. The present findings provide valuable information for understanding the potential role that males play in the pesticide-induced resurgence of N. lugens.  相似文献

Biocomposites derived from polymeric resin and lignocellulosic fibers may be processed at temperatures ranging from 100 °C to 230 °C for durations of up to 30 min. These processing parameters normally lead to the degradation of the fiber's mechanical properties such as Young's modulus (E), ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and percentage elongation at break (%EB). In this study, the effect of processing temperature and duration of heating on the mechanical properties of coir fibers were examined by heating the fibers in an oven at 150 °C and 200 °C for 10, 20 and 30 min to simulate processing conditions. Degradation of mechanical properties was evaluated based on the tensile properties. It was observed that the UTS and %EB of heat treated fibers decreased by 1.17-44.00% and 15.28-81.93%, respectively, compared to untreated fibers. However, the stiffness or E of the fibers increased by 6.3-25.0%. Infra red spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to elucidate further the influence of chemical, thermal and microstructural degradation on the resulting tensile properties of the fibers. The main chemical changes observed at 2922, 2851, 1733, 1651, 1460, 1421 and1370 cm−1 absorption bands were attributed to oxidation, dehydration and depolymerization as well as volatization of the fiber components. These phenomena were also attributed to in the TGA, and in addition the TGA showed increased thermal stability of the heat treated coir fibers with reference to the untreated counterparts which was most probably due to increased recrystallization and cross linking. The microstructural features including microcracks, micropores, collapsed microfibrils and sort of cooled molten liquid observed on the surface of heat treated coir fibers from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) could not directly be linked to the effect of temperature and durations of heating although such features may have largely account for the lower tensile properties of heat treated coir fibers with reference to untreated ones.  相似文献

Thermally modified wood is being increasingly offered in Europe as an alternative to preservative-treated timber. The aim of this study is to determine the change of various physical properties (oven-dry density, air-dry density, weight loss, swelling and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE)), compression strength parallel to grain, colour difference (ΔE), glossiness and surface roughness of sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricum), limba (Terminalia superba) and iroko (Chlorophora excelsa) woods after heat treatment under different temperatures and durations. For this study wood specimens were subjected to heat treatment under atmospheric pressure and air at two different temperatures (160 °C and 180 °C) and two different times (2 h and 4 h). Multiple physical properties (oven-dry density, air-dry density, and swelling), compression strength parallel to the grain and surface roughness of the heat-treated wood and control samples were tested. A stylus method was employed to evaluate the surface characteristics of the samples. Roughness measurements using the stylus method were made in the direction perpendicular to the fiber. Four main roughness parameters which are mean arithmetic deviation of profile (Ra), mean peak-tovalley height (Rz), root mean square roughness (Rq), and maximum roughness (Ry) obtained from the surface of wood were used to evaluate the effect of heat treatment on the surface characteristics of the specimens. Significant difference was found (P = 0.05) between physical and technological properties, and surface roughness parameters (Ra, Rz, Ry, Rq) at two temperatures and two durations of heat treatment. Based on the findings of this study, the results showed that oven-dry density, air-dry density, swelling, compression strength parallel to grain and surface roughness values decreased with increasing treatment temperature and treatment time. Thus, sapele, iroko, and limba wood can be utilized with proper heat treatment techniques for outdoor and indoor applications.  相似文献

In this study, the influence of press cycle time and resin content (RC) on some of the physical and mechanical properties of single-layer particleboard manufactured from the low-quality raw materials were determined. Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), saltcedar (Tamarix stricta) and date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) wood, which is underutilized invasive species in southern parts of Iran, were used as alternative raw materials for particleboard manufacturing. Variable factors were as resin content (9, 10 and 11%) and press time (PT) (4, 5 and 6 min). Other parameters such as type of resin (UF), hardener content (2%), type of hardener (NH4Cl), press-closing time (4.5 mm/s), board density (0.75 g/cm3), press pressure (30 kg/m2) and press temperature (160 °C) were held constant. The experimental panels were tested for their mechanical strength including modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bonding (IB) and physical stability properties (thickness swelling) according to the procedures defined by European Union (EN) Standard. Overall results showed that most panels made from above-mentioned materials exceed the EN Standards for IB, MOE and MOR. The mechanical properties of particleboard were improved as the resin content increased from 9 to 11%. The results indicated that the polymerization of resin and wood is better at 11% resin content and 5 min of press time. However, thickness-swelling (TS) values were higher (poor) than requirements. Panels made of mesquite, saltcedar and date palm with a resin content of 11% and pressed for 5 min is adequate for general uses while eucalyptus with a resin content of 11% and pressed for 6 min is suitable for interior decoration.  相似文献

In order to develop composites with better mechanical properties and environmental performance, it becomes necessary to increase the hydrophobicity of the natural fibers and to improve the interface between matrix and natural fibers. Graft copolymerization of natural fibers is one of the best methods to attain these improvements. Only few workers have reported the use of graft copolymers as reinforcing material in the preparation of composites. So in the present paper, we report the preparation of graft copolymers of flax fibers with methyl acrylate (MA) using Fenton’s reagent (FAS-H2O2) as redox system. Synthesized flax-g-poly(MA) was characterized with FTIR, TGA/DTA, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Composites were prepared using flax-g-poly(MA) as a reinforcement and phenolformaldehyde (PF) as the binding material. Mechanical properties of phenol-formaldehyde composites were compared and it has been found that composites reinforced with flax-g-poly(MA) showed improvement in mechanical properties. Composites reinforced with flax-g-poly(MA) showed better tensile strength (235 N) and compressive strength (814 N) in comparison to composites reinforced with original flax fiber which showed lesser tensile strength (162 N) and compressive strength (372 N). Composites reinforced with flax-g-poly(MA) shows the improved MOR, MOE, and SP.  相似文献

The possibility of manufacturing rubberwood and kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) stem medium density fibreboard (MDF) panels at different pressure and resin content were investigated. The effect of mechanisms of interacted independent variables (resin content and pressure) on MDF properties was analyzed. The board performance was evaluated by measuring internal bond (IB) strength, modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), water absorption (WA) and thickness swell (TS). The test results were statistically analyzed by using response surface method (RSM) to determine the significant independent variables that influenced MDF properties. A mathematical simulation or response surface models were developed to predict the MDF properties (MOR, MOE, IB, WA and TS). The obtained results showed that MDF density and all interactions between the experimental variables were significant factors that influenced the mechanical properties of MDF. At 8 bar and 14 % resin content, the MDF recorded WA of 83.12 % and TS of 20.2 %. It can be inferred that two parameters (resin content and pressure) had positive effect on physical and mechanical properties of MDF. We concluded that resin content show more significant effects on MDF manufacturing as compared to pressure parameters.  相似文献

The films produced from pure starch are brittle and difficult to handle. Chemical modifications (e.g. cross-linking) and using a second biopolymer in the starch based composite have been studied as strategies to produce low water sensitive and relatively high strength starch based materials. A series of corn starch films with varying concentrations (0-20%, W/W) of citric acid (CA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were produced by casting method. The effects of CA and CMC on the water vapor permeability (WVP), moisture absorption, solubility and tensile properties were investigated. The water vapor barrier property and the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) were improved significantly (p < 0.05) as the CA percentage increased from 0 to 10% (W/W). At the level of 15% (W/W) CMC, the starch films showed the lowest WVP values (2.34 × 10−7 g Pa−1 h−1 m−1) and UTS increased from 6.57 MPa for the film without CMC to 16.11 MPa for that containing 20% CMC.  相似文献

Ricinus communis seed is a source of protein and oil with a high potential to use as animal's feedstock and biodiesel production. However, the oil yield and the extraction efficiency depend on the process conditions applied, as well as on the physical, chemical and structural properties of the seed, which have not been fully investigated. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate some chemical and physical properties of R. communis seed as well as to describe and quantify the macro and microstructure of this raw material by microscopy techniques and image analysis. Chemical analysis confirmed the seeds’ high contents of protein (28.48 ± 0.25%) and fat (51 ± 0.31%). On the other hand, the values of geometric mean diameter (8.95 ± 0.05 mm), bulk density (538 ± 11 kg/m3), and true density (1458 ± 27 kg/m3), among others, were higher than the ones reported about similar oils seeds. Microstructural studies showed that the endosperm cells presented an ovoid shape, as obtained from the aspect ratio results (AR = 1.28 ± 0.17), and a cell density of 570 ± 10 cell/mm2, resulting in a porous structure, while the embryo cells had a cell density of 4903 ± 2 cell/mm2, and an AR of 2.41 ± 0.48, related to a more compact structure (rectangular form) in this part of the seed. Regarding to lipids bodies (lb), they were only visible in the endosperm cells, showing a circular shape (AR = 1.16 ± 0.1), and a mean cell density of 9.57 ± 2.40 lipid bodies/μm2, associated to protein as observed by the mineral presence (K, P, Mg and S) as determined by the energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Microscopy techniques and images analysis were efficient tools for the characterization of macro and microstructure of seeds and the data obtained integrate numerical information that could be useful for thermal and mechanical processing of R. communis seed, as well as for the design process equipment.  相似文献

Acrylamide (AA), a potential human carcinogen, is formed in strongly heated carbohydrate-rich food as a part of the Maillard reaction. The amino acid asparagine (Asn) and reducing sugars are considered to be the main precursors for AA formation. In a 2-year field trial the impact of nitrogen (N) amount and timing on the content of AA precursors and the potential of AA formation in different winter wheat cultivars (cv.) were studied in association with respective grain yields and parameters of baking quality. Depending on year, cultivar and nitrogen treatment Asn contents ranged between 4 and 18 mg 100 g−1 flour dry-matter (DM). Nitrogen treatments affecting crude protein contents in flours above 13% caused a considerable increase in free Asn. Nitrogen amounts of 220 kg N ha−1 increased the contents of free Asn by between 130% and 270% depending on year and cultivar compared to the untreated controls. A close linear correlation between the content of free Asn and the potential of AA formation (2004: R2 = 0.89, 2005: R2 = 0.83) could be observed, whereas no correlation could be found between reducing sugars and the potential of AA formation, pointing to the importance of free Asn as the limiting and thus determining factor for the AA formation potential in wheat flours. To reach high crude protein contents and good sedimentation values demanded for breadstuffs, nitrogen amounts of at least 180 kg N ha−1 were necessary. Nitrogen fertilization measures resulting in high crude protein contents above 13% enhanced the potential of AA formation by increasing the content of free Asn in flours. As long as demands from traders and producers for flour with high crude protein contents are not revised, lowering Asn contents and thus the potential for AA formation by application of N amounts below 180 kg N ha−1 and abandoning the late application of N do not appear to be successful ways to reduce the risk of AA formation in breadstuffs.  相似文献

Hot water and hot air treatments were evaluated for disinfesting anthurium, Anthurium andraeanum Lind., stem cuttings of the bacterial blight pathogen, Xanthomonas axonopodis pathovar dieffenbachiae (Xa pv. dieffenbachiae), and burrowing nematodes, Radopholus similis, and their effect on viability of the cuttings. Xa pv. dieffenbachiae suspended in distilled water in 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes, lost at least 6 logs of viability when exposed to hot water at 50 °C for 12 min or hot air at 50 °C, 60% RH for 35 min administered in commercial-sized heat treatment facilities. Stem cuttings exposed to hot air at 50 °C, 60% RH were disinfested of R. similis when their core temperatures attained 50 °C. Plant response to heat treatments varied among cultivars; however, all evaluated cultivars exhibited high tolerance to hot water at 50 °C for up to 24 min with equal or enhanced sprouting rates as compared to untreated checks. Sprouting rates of three of the four cultivars treated with hot air at 50 °C, 60% RH for up to 125 min were equal to or higher than untreated checks, while cuttings from the less tolerant cultivar ‘Tropic Fire’ registered lower sprouting rates for all hot air treatment durations as compared to untreated checks, Flower quality parameters, including average spathe size, stem diameter and number of flowers harvested from plants heat-treated as cuttings, were comparable to or higher than untreated checks for all treatments and cultivars. Disinfestation of anthurium stem cuttings for bacterial blight and the burrowing nematode can be achieved in hot water at 50 °C for 24 min without loss of sprouting rate or flower quality.  相似文献

A first cut of timothy, treated with water (untreated), formic acid (FA), cellulase + lactic acid bacteria (CB), cellulase + hemicellulase (CH) or cellulase + hemicellulase + a lignin-modifying enzyme (CHL), was ensiled in pilot-scale silos. Silages, except CB, were fed to four male cattle, each equipped with a rumen and duodenal cannula, in a digestibility trial designed as a 4 × 4 Latin square. The animals were fed a diet of 400 g of concentrate and 600 g of silage at a level of 70 g DM kg?1 live weight (LW0·75). All enzyme-treated silages were well-preserved with a more extensive fermentation than in FA silage. The quality of untreated silage was poorer as indicated by higher pH and ammonia-N content. The amount of effluent from enzyme-treated silages ranged from 116 to 127 g kg?1; for FA and untreated silages values were 101 g kg?1 and 80 g kg?1, respectively. Total DM losses from enzyme-treated silages were higher than from FA silage (P < 0·05). No significant differences were noticed between silages in the apparent digestibility of organic matter (OM), neutral-detergent fibre (NDF), acid-detergent fibre (ADF) or nitrogen (N). The apparent digestibility of cellulose was higher with enzyme-treated silages than with FA silage (P < 0·05). The values for microbial N flow at the duodenum were 80·0, 91·9, 80·7 and 70·5g N d?1, and for the efficiency of rumen microbial N synthesis 38·6, 47·6, 36·9 and 32·5 g N kg?1 OM apparently digested in the rumen for untreated, FA, CH and CHL silages, respectively. In the rumen the molar proportion of propionate was higher (P < 0·01) and that of butyrate lower (P < 0·01) with enzyme-treated silages when compared with FA silage. The proportion of butyrate was also lower with untreated than with other silages (P < 0·01). The rumen residence time of NDF and ADF was longer (P < 0·05) with enzyme-treated silages than with FA silage.  相似文献

The Athel tree, Tamarix aphylla (L), can potentially be used as a biomass crop to help manage saline subsurface drainage water in arid land irrigated agriculture. In this study, Athel wood was used to manufacture medium-density particleboard with an aim of developing new applications for the saline wood. The research investigated the effects of different types of adhesives, particle sizes, bark content (BC), resin content (RC), and hot water pretreatment on the mechanical and water resistance properties of the Athel-derived, medium-density particleboards. The measured mechanical properties included tensile strength (TS), modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and internal bond strength (IB) of the finished particleboards. Water absorption and thickness swell were used to evaluate the water resistance. Polymeric methane diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI) resin made particleboard of better mechanical properties and water resistance than urea formaldehyde (UF). The medium size (20–40 mesh) particles gave the best mechanical properties and water resistance than of the particleboard when evaluated against the smaller size (40–60 mesh) and larger size (10–20 mesh) particles. The mechanical properties of particleboard were improved as the resin content of the UF-board increased from 7 to 16%, but deteriorated as the bark content increased from 0 to 16.2%. The particleboard made from the wood particles that had undergone hot water pretreatment had poor mechanical properties and water resistance compared with the particleboard made from the untreated particles. Saline Athel wood is an appropriate material for manufacturing particleboards.  相似文献

Aerobic rice is a water-saving rice production system for water-short environments with favorable soils and adapted, potentially high-yielding varieties that are direct dry seeded. Soils remain aerobic but supplementary irrigation is applied as necessary. In the dry season of 2004 and 2005, a water by N experiment was set up at the location “Dapdap” in central Central Luzon, Philippines, to explore water and N management strategies in aerobic rice. The experiment was laid out as a split-plot design on a loamy sand soil with three water treatments (irrigation twice per week, once per week, and once in two weeks with modifications) and 5 N levels (0–200 kg ha−1). Average seasonal soil moisture tension ranged from 9.2 to 20 kPa but yield hardly responded to the treatment combinations and ranged from 0 to 2 t ha−1. In addition to trial-specific parameters, root knot nematodes and micronutrients (2005) were monitored. Galling of roots due to nematodes was assessed through a rating scale of 0–5, with 0 = no galling and 5 = >75% of the root system galled. The degree of galling reached a level of 5 at flowering and harvest in 2004, and 3 at tillering and 4 at harvest in 2005. Results of a plant tissue analysis at mid-tillering for Fe, Mn, and Zn showed on average values above critical levels; individual replicates, however, indicated deficiencies for Mn. In addition to actual field observations, we used simulation modeling (ORYZA2000) as a tool to estimate attainable yield under actual water conditions and N inputs to explore how yield failure set in. Simulation results matched observed values for total above-ground biomass and leaf area index quite well when no N was applied. When high rates of N (200 and 165 kg ha−1) were applied, simulated values matched actual field data only until about the panicle initiation stage; afterward, observed values remained below the simulation. We interpreted this as evidence that growth-limiting factors other than water or N affected the crop from this growth stage on. Observations made in the field on root knot nematodes and micronutrients suggested that these two factors, especially root knot nematodes, may have been major constraints to crop development in this experiment.  相似文献

Data on physical properties of seeds have significant importance for machinery and process equipments design. This study was conducted to investigate some physical properties of tung seed (Aleutites Fordii) namely, dimensions, 100 unit mass, arithmetic mean diameter, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, aspect ratio, surface area, bulk density, true density, porosity, terminal velocity and coefficient of friction. The applications of these properties are also discussed. The tung seed has an average of 13.24% (d.b.) moisture and 40.37% oil content. The average seed length, width, thickness were 22.61 mm, 20.35 mm, 13.95 mm, respectively. The average surface area of tung seed is 1084.20 mm2 while the sphericity and aspect ratio were 0.82 and 90.07%, respectively. The average bulk density of seed was 0.502 g/cm3 while the true density was 0.995 g/cm3, and the corresponding porosity was 49.88%. The terminal velocity was 8.3 m/s. The static coefficient of friction on three different contacting materials has been found out and the results showed that the mean value of static coefficient friction was least in case of aluminum sheet while it is highest for plywood.  相似文献

Retention and/or reincorporation of plant residues increases soil organic nitrogen (N) levels over the long-term is associated with increased crop yields. There is still uncertainty, however, about the interaction between crop residue (straw) retention and N fertilizer rates and sources. The objective of the study was to assess the influence of straw management (straw removed [SRem] and straw retained [SRet]), N fertilizer rate (0, 25, 50 and 75 kg N ha−1) and N source (urea and polymer-coated urea [called ESN]) under conventional tillage on seed yield, straw yield, total N uptake in seed + straw and N balance sheet. Field experiments with barley monoculture (1983-1996), and wheat/barley-canola-triticale-pea rotation (1997-2009) were conducted on two contrasting soil types (Gray Luvisol [Typic Haplocryalf] loam soil at Breton; Black Chernozem [Albic Argicryoll] silty clay loam at Ellerslie) in north-central Alberta, Canada. On the average, SRet produced greater seed yield (by 205-220 kg ha−1), straw yield (by 154-160 kg ha−1) and total N uptake in seed + straw (by 5.2 kg N ha−1) than SRem in almost all cases in both periods at Ellerslie, and only in the 1997-2009 period at Breton (by 102 kg seed ha−1, 196 kg straw ha−1 and by 3.7 kg N ha−1) for both N sources. There was generally a considerable increase in seed yield, straw yield and total N uptake in seed + straw from applied N up to 75 kg N ha−1 rate for both N sources at both sites and more so at Breton, but the response to applied N decreased with increasing N rate. The ESN was superior to urea in increasing seed yield (by 109 kg ha−1), straw yield (by 80 kg ha−1) and total N uptake in seed + straw (by 2.4 kg N ha−1) in the 1983-1996 period at Breton (mainly at the 25 and 50 kg N ha−1 rates). But, urea produced greater straw yield (by 95 kg ha−1) and total N uptake in seed + straw (by 3.3 kg N ha−1) than ESN in the 1983-1996 period at Ellerslie. The N balance sheets over the 1983-2009 study duration indicated large amounts of applied N unaccounted for (ranged from 740 to 1518 kg N ha−1 at Breton and from 696 to 1334 kg N ha−1 at Ellerslie), suggesting a great potential for N loss from the soil-plant system through denitrification and/or nitrate leaching, and from the soil mineral N pool by N immobilization. In conclusion, the findings suggest that long-term retention of crop residue may gradually improve soil productivity. The effectiveness of N source varied with soil type.  相似文献

An active crop canopy reflectance sensor could be used to increase N-use efficiency in maize (Zea mays L.), if temporal and spatial variability in soil N availability and plant demand are adequately accounted for with an in-season N application. Our objective was to evaluate the success of using an active canopy sensor for developing maize N recommendations. This study was conducted in 21 farmers’ fields from 2007 to 2009, representing the maize production regions of east central and southeastern Pennsylvania, USA. Four blocks at each site included seven sidedress N rates (0–280 kg N ha−1) and one at-planting N rate of 280 kg N ha−1. Canopy reflectance in the 590 nm and 880 nm wavelengths, soil samples, chlorophyll meter (SPAD) measurements and above-ground biomass were collected at the 6th–7th-leaf growth stage (V6–V7). Relative amber normalized difference vegetative index (ANDVIrelative) and relative SPAD (SPADrelative) were determined based on the relative measurements from the zero sidedress treatment to the 280 kg N ha−1 at-planting treatment. Observations from the current study were compared to relationships between economic optimum N rate (EONR) and ANDVIrelative, presidedress NO3 test (PSNT), or SPADrelative that were developed from a previous study. These comparisons were based on an absolute mean difference (AMD) between observed EONR and the previously determined predicted relationships. The AMD for the relationship between EONR and ANDVIrelative in the current study was 46 kg N ha−1. Neither the PSNT (AMD = 66 kg N ha−1) nor the SPADrelative (AMD = 72 kg N ha−1) provided as good an indicator of EONR. When using all the observations from the two studies for the relationships between EONR and the various measurements, ANDVIrelative (R2 = 0.65) provided a better estimate of EONR than PSNT (R2 = 0.49) or SPADrelative (not significant). Crop reflectance captured similar information as the PSNT and SPADrelative, as reflected in strong relationships (R2 > 0.60) among these variables. Crop canopy reflectance using an active sensor (i.e. ANDVIrelative) provided as good or better an indicator of EONR than PSNT or SPADrelative, and provides an opportunity to easily adjust in-season N applications spatially.  相似文献
