Water deficit stress is the main limiting factor in corn production in different regions of Iran. Choosing appropriate corn hybrids and well-managed irrigation practices will result in significant water savings (WS) and good outcomes. Therefore, a randomized complete block design arranged in split plots with four replications was used to evaluate the effect of irrigation regimes on some agronomic traits of corn hybrids. Three different irrigation regimes (irrigation after depleting 60%, 70%, and 80% of field capacity (FC) as water deficit stress, mild water deficit stress and well-irrigated treatment, respectively) were allocated to main plots and four grain corn hybrids (KSC 500, KSC 647, KSC 700, and KSC 704) were randomized in subplots. The results indicated that grain yield (GY), harvest index (HI), and relative water content (RWC) decreased, whereas water use efficiency (WUE), WS, and irrigation efficiency (IE) increased, with increasing water deficit stress intensity. Irrigation after depleting 70% of FC caused the highest economic WUE (1.01 kg grain m?3). In addition, late maturing hybrids (KSC 700 and KSC 704) showed higher values of all measured traits, except for HI, compared to mid-maturing hybrids (KSC 647 and KSC 500).  相似文献

Different degrees of dependency on the activity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) exist between native maize landraces and hybrids. In Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, the Popoluca people maintain a traditional polycultural land management with more than 15 native landraces of maize; however, it is not known whether the recent substitution of local maize for improved hybrids and fertilization has affected the integrity of the mycorrhizal symbiosis in these naturally phosphorus-poor systems. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of four Popoluca maize landraces and the hybrid Texcoco to the presence of native AMF in conditions of low and medium P input (5 and 65 mg kg?1, respectively). After 120 days in both P treatments, the native landraces Black and Yellow presented higher colonization and had acquired more P in their shoot biomass than the hybrid. The moderate fertilization did not appear to have affected the integrity of the mycorrhizal symbiosis, since all of the maize types presented a positive mycorrhizal dependency (2–14 %). Under low P conditions, the Texcoco hybrid maize presented one of the highest mycorrhizal dependencies; however, unlike the local landraces, this was not reflected in a higher tissue P concentration. The results obtained indicate that the native maize Black was the best at capturing symbiotic and direct P, which makes this landrace an important genetic and cultural heritage for the Popoluca and for the world.  相似文献

The effect of source reduction on yield and yield components of three maize hybrids at three plant densities was studied under agro-climatic conditions in southern Iran. Field experiments were conducted at the research farm of the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran, located at Bajgah (52° 35′ N and 39° 4′ E, 1810 masl) during the 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. The treatments included three hybrids, three plant densities and defoliation, arranged in the main, subplots and sub-subplots, respectively. Defoliation treatments, which consisted of removing all the leaves from one side of the maize plants, were imposed when plants were at the silking stage. Silking was taken as the time when 50% of the plants in a row presented visible silks. Partial defoliations included control, and 50% defoliation at 25 and 35 days after silking (defoliation treatments were applied to all plants in each plot). The experiments were conducted in a randomized complete block (RCB) design with three replications. Dry matter accumulation was assessed by sampling ears at 7-day intervals from the mid-silking stage to black layer formation. Defoliation treatments decreased grain yields significantly in both years. The highest grain yield in 2008 (19 t ha?1) was obtained from hybrid Maxima ‘524’ and in 2009 (14 t ha?1) from hybrid 704 at 95,000 plants ha?1 density. Defoliation treatments decreased grain yields due to a reduction in the number of kernels per ear, as well as mean kernel weight. Some other measured parameters including stalk, shank, husk and cob dry weights, and cob and ear lengths were also decreased under defoliation treatments. If 50% of the photosynthetic area after silking was removed, the quantity of retransferred assimilates from stalk to kernel was increased. Finally, partial defoliation, 25 days after silking, reduced all the yield components more than any other treatments.  相似文献

Achieving a sustainable increase in the fertility of sandy soils is a major problem. The application of biochar (BC) is a relatively new method, but results for a temperate climate are scarce. This work investigates various combined doses of BC and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria inoculants on the fertility of acidic and calcareous sandy soils, hypothesising that joint application could have a synergistic impact. The effects were followed by measuring chemical (pH, organic matter, nutrient availability) and microbiological properties of the soil and maize biomass. 30 t ha?1 BC increased both pH (by 1 unit) and nitrification in acidic soil (causing a 60% drop in NH4-N concentration), and the phosphorus and potassium availability (by 53 and 80%, respectively) in both soils. Substrate-induced respiration increased by up to 100% and 50% in acidic and calcareous soil, respectively, in treatments involving both BC and inoculant. In acidic soil a BC dose of 3 t ha?1 resulted in a 70% decrease in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal infection. Changes in maize grain yield were not significant, but the increase in above-ground biomass indicated that the combined application of BC and inoculant is more beneficial than separate application of these yield-increasing agents, primarily on acidic sand.  相似文献

The present study aims at identifying potentially high-yielding testcross maize hybrids using different selection indices that consider agronomic traits other than grain yield alone. Forty-one (41) testcross hybrids developed from 20 elite drought-tolerant maize inbred lines and two inbred testers plus three hybrid checks were evaluated in the rainy seasons of 2013 and 2014 in Ogbomoso in the derived savanna agroecological zone of Nigeria. Hybrids were planted in each year in 11 × 4 lattices with two replications. Testcross hybrids and checks exhibited significant differences for all measured traits except ear height, husk cover and number of ears per plant. Grain yield of hybrids and checks averaged over the 2 years varied from 3117 to 8393 kg ha?1 with a mean of 5935 kg ha?1. Top 11 hybrids produced vigorous plants, each yielding >7000 kg ha?1. Base index and multivariate index methods identified EXL11 × 9071 whereas base index and Smith–Hazel selection index methods identified EXL18 × 9071 as superior hybrids at 5% selection intensity. These hybrids will be considered for advanced breeding program and release to farmers as high-yielding drought-tolerant hybrid maize varieties in the increasingly drought-prone derived savanna agroecology of Nigeria.  相似文献

Evaluation of source or sink limitations on maize (Zea mays L.) yield and yield components is important for the rational design of agricultural practices as well as breeding strategies. There is little information on how the source or sink limitations during the effective grain-filling period affect final kernel quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of source/sink manipulation in different times after mid-silking stage on kernel weight (KW), kernel number per square meter (KN m?2), kernel protein and oil of different maize hybrids. Field experiments were conducted at the experimental field of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran, located at Bajgah (52° 35′ N and 39° 4′ E and 1810 m above sea level, asl) during the 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. The treatments included three hybrids and defoliation that were arranged in the main, and subplots, respectively. Leaves removal treatments were imposed when plants were at the mid-silking stage. Silking was taken as the time when 50% of the plants in a row presented visible silks. Defoliations included control, 50% of defoliation at 25 (early defoliation), and 35 (late defoliation) days after silking (defoliation treatments were applied to all plants of each plot). The experiments were conducted in randomized complete block (RCB) design with three replications and the treatments in a split-plot arrangement. Early defoliation greatly reduced kernel growth rate and grain filling period, resulting in lower mean kernel weight. Defoliation treatments modified KN m?2 and kernel number per ear (KNPE) and variations in these components affected protein and oil content. Decreased source size by defoliation decreased kernel protein content dramatically with no significant change in oil content. Differences among treatments appeared to be related only to the post-flowering source/sink ratio. Therefore, to improve protein yield in maize, hybrids and agronomic practices should aim to increase the post-flowering source/sink ratio.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Root system is an important factor for crop productivity under water- and nutrient-limited environments. A pot study was conducted to evaluate root system response of three Thai rice varieties (Pathumthani 1, RD57, RD41) under three cultivation methods (dry direct seeding [DDS], wet direct seeding [WDS], transplanting [TP]) and three levels of alternate wetting and drying irrigation (–5, –15, –30 kPa). A second pot experiment examined the effect of potassium (K) rates (0, 80, 120, 160 kg ha–1) on root system response of the same varieties under DDS and TP subjected to alternate wetting and drying at –5 kPa. Pathumthani 1 was more tolerant to moisture stress; RD57 and RD41 showed an inconsistent response to moisture-deficit conditions. Rice plant under TP was more sensitive to moisture stress; rice plant performed better under DDS even at the highest soil moisture stress of –30 kPa. K application at the rate of 120 kg ha–1 as basal under DDS was optimum for root system development of Pathumthani 1, while RD57 and RD41 had higher actual root length at the same K rate regardless of cultivation methods. Alternate wetting and drying up to –30 kPa could be safely applied for the three tested varieties. The performance of root system of Pathumthani 1 was better under DDS method of cultivation. K fertilization at 120 kg ha–1 can be recommended as optimum rate under water-saving cultivation techniques for the three tested varieties.  相似文献

Abstract

Iron deficiency is estimated to affect over one‐half the world population. Improving the nutritional quality of staple food crops through breeding for high bioavailable iron represents a sustainable and cost effective approach to alleviating iron malnutrition. Forty‐nine late maturing tropical elite maize varieties were grown in a lattice design with two replications in three locations representing three agroecologies in West and Central Africa to identify varieties with high levels of kernel‐Fe. Bioavailable iron was assessed for some varieties selected for high Fe concentration in kernel and improved agronomic traits using an in vitro digestion/Caco‐2 cell model. Significant differences in kernel‐Fe and ‐zinc concentration were observed among varieties (P < 0.001). Kernel‐Fe levels ranged from 16.8 to 24.4 mg kg?1, while kernel‐Zn levels ranged from 16.5 to 24.6 mg kg?1. Environment did not have a significant effect on kernel‐iron and ‐zinc levels, but genotype by environment (G × E) interaction was highly significant. The genetic component accounted for 12% of the total variation in kernel‐Fe and 29% for kernel‐Zn levels. Kernel‐Fe was positively correlated with kernel‐Zn (R 2 = 0.51, P < 0.0001). Significant differences in iron bioavailability were detected among selected Fe‐rich varieties grown at one location. Mean bioavailable Fe ranged between 30% below to 88% above the reference control variety. The results indicate that genetic differences exist in kernel‐Fe and ‐Zn concentrations and Fe bioavailability. These differences may be useful in biofortification intervention programs, but additional research is needed to determine the efficacy of iron‐rich maize varieties in alleviating iron deficiency in humans.  相似文献

Priming offers an effective means for counteracting different stresses induced oxidative injury and raising seed performance in many crop species. The present study was carried out to investigate the ability of potassium nitrate (KNO3) and urea to promote the tolerance of different maize hybrids to drought and salt stresses to identify some biochemical parameters associated with KNO3 and urea induced resistance in maize seedlings. An experiment was conducted in a controlled environment of the laboratory at the college of agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz Iran, during 2010. The first factor was stress type and intensity at five levels; moderate drought, severe drought, moderate salt, severe salt, and control (without stress). Seed priming was the second factor; water as control, KNO3, and urea, and maize hybrids, including Maxima, SC704, Zola, and 304 were the third factor. Results indicated that the highest chlorophyll a (Ch a), chlorophyll b (Ch b), total chlorophyll (Ch T) contents, and carotenoids (Car) were found in no stress treatments and the most proline, protein contents, superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) activities in severe drought treatment. Also, results revealed that generally, drought and salinity stresses decreased the amount of Ch a and the lowest Ch a was recorded for severe salinity stress (4.29 mg g?1). Stresses caused decrease in Ch b, but the effect of sever salinity level was higher than the others. Priming of KNO3 had significantly higher proline content than water and urea priming. The SC704 and 304 hybrids showed higher proline content than the other ones. Finally, the maize seed KNO3 and urea priming lead to high activities of antioxidant defensive enzymes and increase the tolerance level to abiotic stresses such as salt and drought.  相似文献

Abstract

Nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) fertility management of maize (Zea mays L.) in the humid subtropical Mississippi Delta may differ from a temperate climate because of its use in rotation with cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), soil temperatures rarely falling to 0°C, and heavy winter rains that facilitate nutrient losses. An experiment to determine the [N] (concentration=[ ]), phosphorus [P], [K], calcium [Ca], magnesium [Mg], iron [Fe], manganese [Mn], zinc [Zn], and copper [Cu] and their total contents plant?1 of maize grown in rotation with cotton, using N fertility levels of (134, 179, 224, 269, and 314 kg N ha?1) in combination with K fertility levels of (0, 45, 90, and 134 kg K ha?1) was conducted in 2000 and 2001 at Tribbett, MS. Ear leaves, immature ears, and husks collected at growth stage R2 and grain and stover collected 21 days after R6 were dried, weighed, and analyzed for nutrient concentration. Plots were also harvested for yield, kernel weight, grain bulk density, and harvest index (HI). Increased [N] values of about 1.3 mg g?1 occurred in all organs except the stover between 134 and 314 kg N ha?1 N fertility. Stover [N] increased approximately 3.0 mg g?1 within the same N fertility range. Total N content of ear leaves, grain, and stover increased by about 11.0, 550.0, and 730.0 mg plant?1, respectively, with N fertility increased from 134 to 314 kg N ha?1. Yields, kernel weights, grain bulk densities, and harvest indices also increased with added N fertility. Several micronutrient concentrations and contents increased as N fertility increased. Increased K fertility had only limited influence on concentrations of most nutrient elements. The nutrient contents of most elements in the stover increased with added K fertility compared with plots that received no supplemental K fertilizer. These data showed between 139 and 265 kg N ha?1 was permanently removed by grain harvest and suggest that N fertility recommendations for the Mississippi Delta may be low for maize yield goals above 10 Mg ha?1. Added K fertilizer has minimal benefit to maize when soil test levels are adequate but are important to succeeding cotton crops where K uptake during fruiting can exceed the soil's ability to release K for uptake.  相似文献

Abstract

Northeast China is the main production area of maize and soybean in China. In the present study, the rates of decomposition and replacement of soil organic carbon (SOC) were estimated using the soil inventory collected since 1991 from long-term maize and soybean cultivation plots in Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China, to evaluate the sustainability of the present cultivation system. The total carbon (C) content in soil was stable without any significant changes in the plots (approximately 28.5 g C kg?1). The δ13C value of soil organic matter under continuous maize cultivation increased linearly with an annual increment of 0.07 from ?23.9 in 1991, which indicated that approximately 13% of the initial SOC was decomposed during the 13-year period of maize cultivation, with a half-life of 65 years. Slow decomposition of SOC was considered to result from the low annual mean temperature (1.5°C) and long freezing period (170–180 days year?1) in the study area. In contrast, the amount of organic C derived from maize increased in the soil with a very slow annual increment of 0.17 g C kg?1, probably because of the removal of all the plant residues from the plots. Based on the soil organic matter dynamics observed in the study plots, intentional recycling/maintenance of plant residues was proposed as a way of increasing soil fertility in maize or soybean cultivation.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

A greenhouse experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of 0, 25, 50 and 100 ton ha?1 of cattle manure-derived biochar (BC) and soil moisture conditions (SMC) of 100%, 70% and 55% of water-holding capacity (WHC) on soybean production. Most of the macro and micronutrient, soil chemical characteristics and yield production of soybean were significantly affected by BC. Under drought, BC was more effective than that of the non-stressed conditions. Interaction effect of SMC and BC on soil iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) concentrations was also significant indicating that different levels of water supply might show different impact under different levels of BC. Under drought, the higher BC applied, the higher grain yield obtained. Application of 0 to 75 ton BC ha?1 under WHC caused a high grain yield but 100 ton BC ha?1 significantly decreased it as compared with the other levels of BC. Positive impacts of BC may be more pronounced under drought. High level of BC in non-stressed conditions may reduce grain yield as occurred in this study. The statistical techniques indicated that higher content of macro and micronutrients negatively associated with yield production of soybean.  相似文献

Abstract

The objectives of this investigation were to study the effects of marginal site conditions and hybrid on plant development, agronomic performance and nutritive characteristics of forage maize (Zea mays L.) at high latitudes. Field experiments were conducted in 2008 and 2009 at three experimental sites, Kristianstad, Skara and Västerås, at increasing latitudes from 55°–60° N. Experimental design used two replicated randomized complete blocks at each site with three maize hybrids, Avenir (FAO 180), Isberi (FAO 190) and Burli (FAO 210), which were continuously assessed for plant development and harvested at various levels of maturity. The chemical composition and nutritional characteristics of harvested plant materials were analysed and hybrid responses to advancing maturity in terms of yield and nutritional qualities were evaluated. Results showed that maize hybrids required different numbers of accumulated thermal units at sites on varying latitudes to achieve developmental stages. Lowest thermal unit requirements among hybrids were observed for hybrid Avenir, and for sites it was highest for plants grown in the most northern site, Västerås. The most southern site, Kristianstad, was the only site at which all hybrids reached the dent stage (c. 450 g kg?1 kernel DM), a recommended maturity for ensiling. The DM yields of early maturing hybrid Avenir were consistently lower than those for Isberi and Burli at all the sites. Results also revealed nutritional differences among maize hybrids at a given maturity (DM, g kg?1), indicating that the effects of maturation should be factored into design of hybrid performance trials. This study highlights the effects of marginal site conditions and hybrids on plant development, agronomic performance and nutritional characteristics of maize hybrids at high latitudes. Further studies on marginal sites are recommended to enlighten the understanding of interaction between environmental and genetic factors on the performance of forage maize.  相似文献

A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of tillage and mulch on weed growth, soil moisture storage, productivity and profitability of upland rice during 2012–2013 at Lembucherra, India. Tillage treatments included CT-RI: conventional tillage with 100% residue incorporation and NT-RR: no-till with 100% residue retention. Mulches included rice straw (SM), Gliricidia (GM), brown manuring (BM) and none (NM). CT-RI registered the highest total weed density (89–168 weeds m?2) and biomass (9.6–183 g dry weight m?2) than those for the NT-RR (75–161 weed m?2 and 8–155 g dry weight m?2). In addition, NT-RR stored (122–172 mm) more soil moisture (0–40 cm soil depth) in comparison with that for the CT-RI treatment (110–161 mm) during crop growing season. Tillage treatments did not have the significant effect on yields. NT-RR reduced the cost of cultivation by 31.5% compared with that for the CT-RI. Thus, the net returns under NT-RR were more than those for the CT-RI. The BM recorded the lowest weed biomass and density as compared to that under other mulches. Therefore, cultivation of upland rice using NT along with BM mulching enhanced productivity and profitability of rice cultivation in India.  相似文献

Continuous cropping can be a serious problem in Chinese soybean production. This can result in yield reduction, root diseases, and changes in microbial community structure. We studied community structure, clone libraries, and abundance of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in soybean fields there were in continuous soybean production for up to 17 years (SC17). Results showed that the potential nitrification rate (PNR) and amoA gene abundance of soybean in continuous cultivation for seven years (SC7) was 0.34 µg NO3? g?1 and 4.71 × 10?5 amoA gene copies/g dry soil, respectively. These values were lower than other treatments. Phylogenetic affiliation analysis based on blast results of amoA gene clone sequencing showed that the sequences belonged to seven clusters: Cluster 1, Cluster 3b, Cluster 3a.1, Cluster 3a.2, Cluster 9, Cluster 10, and Cluster 4. Correlation of AOB community compositions with environmental factors was performed using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Results indicated that the composition of AOB communities in maize–soybean (MS) rotation and continuous cropping of soybean for two years (SC2) were positively related to the PNR of soil, soil moisture, and soil total nitrogen content. Soybean fields continuously cropped for 11 years (SC11) and SC7 fields had AOB community compositions that were negatively related to these factors. The AOB community composition of SC17 was positively correlated to the soil total carbon content of soil. The results in this study indicate that the potential activity and abundance of AOB community in soil significantly changed after seven years continuous cropping compared to other continuous cropping intervals. Cropping systems have important effect on the diversity of functional microorganisms and associated nitrogen cycles.  相似文献

This study investigated the effects of wood-derived biochar (BC) applied at 1% to a C-poor silty-loam soil in the drought-tolerant (D24) and in the drought-sensitive (P1921) Pioneer Hi-Bred maize hybrids in pot and field trials (NE Italy). D24 had better growth than P1921 under rain-fed conditions without irrigation and soil amendment. The addition of biochar increased root growth in D24 (+38% root area) and decreases it in P1921 (?9%) at the silking stage, while the fraction of finer roots (<250 µm diam.) was reduced in D24 and increased in P1921. This led both hybrids to maintain the maximum transpiration at a lower fraction of transpirable soil water (from 82% to 45% in D24, and from 46% to 22% in P1921). There were no significant variations in plant nutrient contents, productivity and in the protein and starch contents of the grains, whereas the lipid content was reduced by biochar, particularly in P1921 (2.6% vs. 3% DW, ?13%).

We conclude that biochar can be profitably used to enhance drought tolerance in maize, possibly due to improvements in the physicochemical characteristics and the water content of treated soils, although maximum benefits are expected in drought-tolerant hybrids through increased root elongation and transpiration.  相似文献

Effect of storage temperature before popping and kernel physical properties on popping characteristics were studied using popcorn (Zea mays L.) hybrids harvested in 1997. Popped volume (PV), unpopped kernel ratio (UPK), and popping times were measured from 250 g of moisture‐adjusted kernels stored at 30, 1, and −29°C for one month. Maximum popped volume (MPV) and minimum unpopped kernel ratio (MUPK) at the corresponding optimum moisture contents (OMC) were mathematically calculated from PV, UPK, and moisture content values. MPV was significantly affected by storage temperature before popping. Hybrid significantly affected MPV and MUPK. Moisture content, storage temperature, and hybrid significantly varied popping time of the popcorn hybrids, with moisture content being the most important. Correlation results showed that MPV was negatively correlated with unsound kernel ratio, UPK, and popping time. Moisture adjustment of intact kernels should be done at different storage conditions; high temperature storage required higher moisture than low temperature storage to give the best outcome.  相似文献

Growth behaviour and yield performance of Bt cotton hybrids under sub-optimal rainfall situation is of practical significance, because more than 60% of the cotton area is under rainfed condition in India. A field trial conducted in a sandy clay loam soil during the seasons 2006–2007, 2007–2008, and 2008–2009 to study the growth behaviour and yield performance under scanty rainfall situation revealed that growth in both Bt and non-Bt cotton hybrids significantly differed under these parameters. The crop experienced moisture stress at the early stages of growth and again during boll development phase in 2006–2007 and 2008–2009. However, Bt hybrids (1691 kg ha?1) produced higher seed cotton yield than non-Bt hybrids (1092 kg ha?1), while the controlled variety (LRA 5166) performed the average of these two (1399 kg ha?1). Similar trend was evident in respect of bolls per plant (at 90 DAP) and the final harvested bolls in both Bt and non-Bt cotton. Because of Bt gene, the early formed bolls were protected from the boll worms which led to less damage and higher yield with Bt hybrids. Amongst the hybrids, RCHB 708 Bt (1917 kg ha?1) performed better over the others.  相似文献

Reductive dissolution of soil manganese (Mn) oxides increases potential toxicity of Mn2+ to plants. In order to examine the effect of nitrogen forms on reduction of Mn oxides in rhizosphere soil, a rhizobox experiment was employed to investigate the reduction of Mn oxides due to the growth of soybean and maize in an Oxisol with various contents of NO3–-N and NH4+-N and a total N of 200 mg kg?1. The results showed that exchangeable Mn2+ in rhizosphere soil was 9.6–32.7 mg kg?1 higher than that in bulk soil after cultivation of soybean and maize for 80 days, which suggested that plant root exudates increased reduction of soil Mn oxides. Application of ammonium-N promoted reduction of Mn oxides in rhizosphere soil compared to application of nitrate and nitrate together with ammonium. Soybean cultivation led to a higher reduction in soil Mn oxides than maize cultivation. Application of single ammonium enhanced Mn uptake by the plants and led to more Mn accumulating in plant leaves, especially for soybean. Therefore, application of ammonium-based fertilizer can promote reduction of soil Mn oxides, while application of nitrate-based fertilizer can inhibit reduction of soil Mn oxides and thus reduce Mn2+ toxicity to plants.  相似文献

Replacing new corn genotypes in agricultural practices requires adequate information on the reaction of the selected hybrids to Cd uptake in Cd-polluted soil and an understanding of interactions with N fertilizers. A 2 × 2 × 3 factorial pot experiment with limed soil (pH 8), two maize (Zea mays) hybrids (Pioneer cultivar yellow and Pioneer cultivar white), two N fertilization forms (NH4 + and NO3 ?) and three Cd exposures (0, 2 and 5 mg kg?1 soil) was conducted under greenhouse conditions. Shoot dry mass increased significantly with NH4 + nutrition compared with NO3 ? nutrition in both maize hybrids, with greater negative influence of Cd application combined with NH4 + nutrition. The yellow cultivar had significantly greater shoot dry mass and lower Cd uptake than the white cultivar. Both hybrids exhibited similar N uptake in shoots and roots, with the exception of yellow cultivar with NH4 + nutrition without Cd application. NO3 ? nutrition always decreased Cd uptake in both cultivars compared with NH4 + nutrition. The N balance (mean across cultivars and Cd supply) after harvest showed most N uptake with NH4 + nutrition (63.4%) and Nmin remains in the soil with NO3 ? nutrition (48.7%). Soil pH decreased more with NH4 + (?0.95 pH units) than NO3 ? nutrition (?0.21).  相似文献
