化肥减量配合紫云英还田对双季稻产量及氮肥利用率的影响 总被引:8,自引:1,他引:8
旨在明确化肥减量条件下不同紫云英还田量对亚热带双季稻区早、晚稻产量及氮肥利用率的影响。以双季稻种植模式为研究对象,设置2个不同的减肥量处理配施不同的紫云英还田量,观察紫云英连续还田下不同处理对双季稻产量和养分利用率的影响。结果表明:与常规施肥处理(100%F)相比,20%减肥量各处理的早稻产量均得到显著提高,增产幅度为5.0%~13.2%;40%减肥量条件下,配施15 000~22 500 kg/hm~2紫云英早稻产量不减产,而配施30 000~37 500 kg/hm~2紫云英后早稻产量有显著提高,增产幅度为5.4%~8.5%。各减肥配施紫云英处理的晚稻产量均随紫云英还田量的增加而升高(P0.05)。各减肥配施紫云英处理早稻化学氮肥的农学利用率、偏生产力及回收率均较常规施肥处理显著提高,但晚稻的氮肥利用率无显著差异。将紫云英还田输入的氮纳入总氮素投入后,早稻总氮素的农学利用率和回收率均随紫云英还田量的增加而降低;与100%F相比,各减肥配施紫云英处理的农学利用率未显著降低,但紫云英还田量达到37 500 kg/hm~2及以上时会导致早稻的氮素回收率显著降低。各紫云英还田处理土壤全氮含量均高于100%F(P0.05),且土壤速效氮含量均显著高于100%F处理(P0.05)。亚热带双季稻种植模式下,长期紫云英还田配合减量施肥对早、晚稻产量和氮肥利用率均产生正面效应,且能提高土壤有机质含量和全氮含量,土壤速效氮含量显著高于常规施肥处理。因此,适量紫云英还田配施化肥除可减少化肥用量外,也是亚热带双季稻区兼顾提升稻米产量和培肥土壤的有效技术。本试验条件下,化肥减量40%配合22 500~30 000 kg/hm~2紫云英的配比综合效果较好。 相似文献

秸秆不同还田方式对紫色土微生物量碳、氮、磷及可溶性有机质的影响 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:4
以广泛分布于西南丘陵区的紫色土为研究对象,通过田间微区试验,研究了油菜/玉米轮作下秸秆不同还田方式对紫色土微生物量碳、氮、磷和可溶性有机质的影响,以期为秸秆在农业生产上的综合利用提供理论依据。结果表明:秸秆直接还田(CS)、生物质炭还田(BC)、秸秆+促腐剂还田(CSD)和秸秆1∶1配施生物质炭还田(CSB)均有效提高土壤微生物量碳(SMBC)、氮(SMBN)、磷(SMBP)含量,其中以CSD处理的微生物量碳、磷最高,分别比CK(单施化肥)增加了46.32%,94.09%;CSB处理的微生物量氮最高,其次为CSD处理,分别达到了104.47,104.14mg/kg。对土壤可溶性有机质而言,除BC处理外,其他秸秆还田处理下土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC)提高了63.26%~189.46%,其中CSD处理最高,达72.74mg/kg;与CK处理相比,秸秆不同还田方式显著降低了土壤可溶性有机氮(DON)含量,但4种处理的土壤可溶性有机磷(DOP)均有提高,特别是CSD处理对土壤可溶性有机磷的提高效果最佳。与CK处理相比,秸秆不同还田方式降低了土壤DON/TN,但有效提高了SMBC/SOC(除BC处理),其中CS和CSD处理的提高效果显著,同时CSD处理的DOC/SOC和SMBN/TN值最高,分别达到了0.49%和7.66%。秸秆不同还田方式能有效提高作物产量,与CK处理相比,各处理的油菜和玉米产量分别提高了3.37%~7.01%和1.49%~3.92%,其中以CSD处理的增产效果最佳。因此,油菜/玉米轮作下西南丘陵山区紫色土最优的秸秆还田方式为秸秆+促腐剂还田,该还田方式下活性有机质含量最高,有利于提高土壤生产力。 相似文献

秸秆还田与耕作方式对双季稻产量及土壤肥力质量的影响 总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29
中国南方双季稻区秸秆资源丰富,但秸秆还田与耕作制度的最佳组合方式目前尚不明确。通过连续3年的田间定位试验(2013—2015年),研究秸秆还田条件下不同耕作方式对双季稻产量及土壤肥力质量的影响。试验处理包括翻耕与秸秆不还田(CT)、翻耕与秸秆还田(CTS)、旋耕与秸秆还田(RTS)和免耕与秸秆还田(NTS)。结果表明:与CTS处理相比,CT和NTS处理早稻平均产量分别降低3.5%和5.2%,晚稻平均产量分别降低3.6%和6.4%,其中,NTS处理晚稻产量显著低于CTS处理(p0.05);与CTS处理相比,RTS处理早稻和晚稻平均产量分别增加6.1%和3.1%。秸秆还田条件下土壤有机碳(SOC)、全氮(TN)、有效磷(AP)和速效钾(AK)均呈增加的趋势,其中,2015年CTS、RTS和NTS处理SOC、TN、AP和AK显著高于CT处理。与CT处理相比,NTS处理土壤容重(BD)增加4.9%(p0.05),CTS和RTS处理BD分别降低4.1%和5.2%,其中RTS处理显著低于CT处理。与CT处理相比,秸秆还田下CTS、RTS和NTS处理土壤p H分别降低1.9%、1.5%和2.5%,其中,CTS和NTS处理显著降低。CT处理土壤肥力质量呈下降的趋势,秸秆还田条件下各处理土壤肥力质量均呈提高的趋势,其中,2015年RTS处理分别高于CTS、NTS处理16.4%和80.4%。由此可见,在南方双季稻区,与常规翻耕和免耕相比,秸秆还田条件下,采用长期旋耕的方式能够进一步提高土壤肥力质量和水稻产量。 相似文献

稻秸还田对油菜季径流氮磷及COD流失的影响 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
通过田间小区试验,设置CK(无施肥+无秸秆)、F(常规施肥)、SF(秸秆还田+常规施肥)和SFR(秸秆还田+常规施肥减15%)4个处理,研究在巢湖地区稻油轮作模式下,稻秸还田对油菜季农田径流氮磷及化学需氧量(COD)流失影响。结果表明,秸秆还田处理显著增加土壤微生物细菌、真菌和放线菌数量,显著降低径流总氮浓度,但增加总磷和COD含量,土壤微生物数量与径流氮磷及COD含量呈显著正相关关系。与F处理相比,SF、SFR处理总氮流失量分别减少16.9%~19.8%,27.1%~29.3%,总磷流失量分别降低2.4%~4.0%,4.0%~5.6%,COD流失量分别增加6.1%~10.0%,2.8%~6.1%。研究结果为揭示土壤微生物数量与径流氮磷及COD流失的作用机理提供了参考,为合理利用秸秆还田技术提供了理论依据。 相似文献

稻草不同还田方式对双季水稻产量及稻米品质的影响 总被引:8,自引:1,他引:8
通过2年田间定位试验,设置施肥区稻草还田(NPK+S)、 稻草烧灰还田(NPK+SI)和稻草不还田(NPK)以及相对应的不施肥区对照共6个处理,研究了不同稻草还田方式对双季水稻产量及稻米品质的影响。结果表明, 在施用等量氮、 磷、 钾养分条件下, NPK+S处理具有提高早稻分蘖数及成穗率、 中后期叶面积指数及地上部干物质量,增加叶片叶绿素含量(SPAD值), 增加水稻单位面积有效穗数的显著作用,但对晚稻的作用不明显; 早稻NPK+S处理的产量较其他两个处理两年平均增幅为3.78%~8.77%, 晚稻随着稻草还田次数的增加,NPK+S与NPK+SI处理的产量趋于接近,但较NPK处理增产5.66%~7.32%。不施肥条件下,稻草还田(CK+S)处理对早、 晚稻生长发育的影响明显大于稻草烧灰还田(CK+SI)和稻草不还田(CK), 且其早、 晚稻产量也极显著高于后两个处理。研究还发现,稻草还田能提高早、 晚稻的稻米食味品质,但降低其外观品质和营养品质以及晚稻稻米的加工品质。以上结果说明,进行稻草全量还田对持续提高双季水稻产量具有重要意义。 相似文献

生物质炭和秸秆还田是提高土壤有机碳含量和改良土壤团聚体结构的有效方法,但在长期尺度上生物质炭与秸秆还田改良土壤的效率仍不清楚。本研究针对中亚热带第四纪红黏土发育的红壤,基于等碳量不同碳源投入的5 a田间定位试验,包括对照、单施化肥、秸秆还田、秸秆–猪粪配施和生物质炭还田5个处理,采用干筛和湿筛法分析了不同施肥处理对土壤团聚体组成、稳定性和有机碳分布的影响。研究表明:施用等碳量的不同有机碳源5 a后显著增加了土壤有机碳含量,其增幅顺序为:生物质炭还田秸秆–猪粪配施秸秆还田。干筛法分析结果表明:与单施化肥处理相比,秸秆–猪粪配施和生物质炭还田处理显著增加0.25 mm机械稳定性团聚体含量(R0.25)和平均重量直径(mean weight diameter,MWD);秸秆还田和生物质炭还田处理显著增加了0.25~2 mm团聚体对土壤有机碳的贡献率。湿筛法分析结果表明:与单施化肥处理相比,秸秆还田和秸秆–猪粪配施处理显著增加R_(0.25)和MWD,但生物质炭还田处理和单施化肥处理相比差异不显著;秸秆还田和秸秆–猪粪配施处理显著降低团聚体破坏率(PAD),生物质炭还田处理显著增加了PAD;秸秆配施猪粪处理和秸秆还田处理显著增加了2 mm团聚体对土壤有机碳的贡献率。总体上,秸秆配施猪粪协同提高团聚体有机碳含量和团聚体稳定性的作用比秸秆还田和生物质炭还田要强。 相似文献

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technique for the analysis of plant material. This study investigates the application of LIBS to pasture-based plant samples. The LIBS measurements were obtained from pelletized pasture samples (100 samples) that had been also analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) following microwave digestion for calibration and comparison purposes. Comparisons for elements sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) showed that LIBS could be used for almost all the standard profile total elements with concentrations down to low mg/kg levels (observed error of Na: 0.024 percent, K: 0.18 percent, Mg: 0.016 percent, Ca: 0.073 percent, P: 0.017 percent, Mn: 31 mg/kg, Fe: 150 mg/kg, Zn: 6.6 mg/kg, and B: 1.1 mg/kg). Elemental analysis at less than mg/kg levels was not possible using LIBS. The elements S and Cu were particularly difficult to analyze with reliability using LIBS at the concentration levels found in the plant samples. Replacing microwave digestion and subsequent ICP analysis with a direct analysis of dried plant samples using LIBS has the potential to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of testing. 相似文献

The responses of tallgrass prairie plant communities and ecosystem processes to fire and grazing are well characterized. However, responses of invertebrate consumer groups, and particularly soil-dwelling organisms, to these disturbances are not well known. At Konza Prairie Biological Station, we sampled soil macroinvertebrates in 1994 and 1999 as part of a long-term experiment designed to examine the effects and interactions of annual fire, mowing, and fertilization (N and P) on prairie soil communities and processes. For nearly all taxa, in both years, responses were characterized by significant treatment interactions, but some general patterns were evident. Introduced European earthworms (Aporrectodea spp. and Octolasion spp.) were most abundant in plots where fire was excluded, and the proportion of the total earthworm community consisting of introduced earthworms was greater in unburned, unmowed, and fertilized plots. Nymphs of two Cicada genera were collected (Cicadetta spp. and Tibicen spp.). Cicadetta nymphs were more abundant in burned plots, but mowing reduced their abundance. Tibicen nymphs were collected almost exclusively from unburned plots. Treatment effects on herbivorous beetle larvae (Scarabaeidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae) were variable, but nutrient additions (N or P) usually resulted in greater densities, whereas mowing usually resulted in lower densities. Our results suggest that departures from historical disturbance regimes (i.e. frequent fire and grazing) may render soils more susceptible to increased numbers of European earthworms, and that interactions between fire, aboveground biomass removal, and vegetation responses affect the structure and composition of invertebrate communities in tallgrass prairie soils. 相似文献

Abstract A 3-year study was carried out to investigate quality parameters in 14 tree fruit and berry species grown in southern Norway. The species were blueberry, apple, aronia, sour cherry, sweet cherry, red raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, gooseberry, red currant and elderberry, harvested along with wild bilberry, cloudberry and lingonberry. Significant differences between species were identified for all quality parameters. The coefficient of variation between species was lowest for pH (12.5%), dry matter (18.9%) and soluble solids (25.3%), followed by titratable acids (59.3%), total phenolics (83.8%), antioxidant capacity FRAP (85.7%) and antiradical power by the DPPH-assay (97.8%), total monomeric anthocyanins (132%) and ascorbic acid (137%). Average coefficient of variation within species were lower and ranged from 4 (pH) to 62% (ascorbic acid). Only the FRAP values were significantly affected by harvesting year with lower levels in 2004 than in 2005 and 2006. There were significant interactions between species and harvesting year for dry matter, soluble solids, pH, ascorbic acid and FRAP. The results indicate generic ranges in composition within species independent upon growing location and climate, and the composition of the tree fruits and berries is not likely to deviate from these ranges. It is concluded that desirable composition of tree fruits and berries and their products should primarily be achieved by selection among species rather than searching fors broadened variation within individual species. 相似文献

Potassium (K) fixation and release in soil are important factors in the long-term sustainability of a cropping system. Changes in K concentration and characteristics of K fixation and release in rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils in the rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)–rice (Oryza sativa L.) rotation were investigated using a rhizobox system. The concentrations of different forms of K in both rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils decreased with plants compared to without plants, regardless of K fertilizer application. Potassium uptake by crops mainly came from the rhizosphere soil. In the treatment without K fertilizer (–K), the main form of K supplied by the soil to the crops was 1.0 mol L?1 nitric acid (HNO3) nonextractable K, followed by nonexchangeable K, and then exchangeable K. In the treatment with K fertilizer (+K), the main K forms supplied by the soil to the crops were exchangeable K and nonexchangeable K. The amount and rate of K fixation after one cycle of the rapeseed–rice rotation was greater in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The amount and rate of K fixation of soil in the +K treatment were significantly less than in the –K treatment. The cumulative amounts of K released with 1.0 mol L?1 ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) and 1.0 mol L?1 HNO3 extraction increased with the increasing numbers of extractions, but the K-releasing power of soil by successive extraction decreased gradually and finally became almost constant. The release of K was less in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The release of K in the +K treatment was similar to that in the –K treatment in rhizosphere soil, but the K release in nonrhizosphere soil was greater with the +K than the –K treatment. Overall, the information obtained in this study will be helpful in formulating more precise K fertilizer recommendations for certain soils. 相似文献

Inoculation of wheat seedlings with the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Cd was immobilized in alginate microbeads and, without applying any stress, significantly increased the quantity of several
photosynthetic pigments, such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and the auxiliary photoprotective pigments violaxanthin, zeaxanthin, antheroxanthin, lutein, neoxanthin, and β-carotene.
This resulted in greener plants with no apparent visible stress. After monitoring the quantity of photosynthetic pigments
for 4 weeks, we observed that inoculated plants had higher quantities of pigments in shoot and stem. The greatest difference
in the quantity of all pigments between inoculated and noninoculated plants occurred in the first week of growth. Regardless
of treatment, the quantity of pigments in stems was three to four times less than the quantity of these pigments in shoots.
Application of Azospirillum, either as liquid inoculant or as alginate microbeads, did not alter the positive effect of the bacteria on pigment production
or the positive response of the plants towards A. brasilense Cd inoculation. 相似文献

We examined the community composition of microbes that colonized atrazine-containing beads buried in agricultural soils that differed in atrazine treatment history. Bacterial abundance was 5-40-fold greater in atrazine-fortified beads. In beads containing 20 mg atrazine kg−1 buried in soil with a history of atrazine application (conditioned soil), the abundance of Actinobacteria increased approximately 80-fold whereas in control soil, Actinobacteria were enriched only 10-fold and the gamma-Proteobacteria and Planctomycetes increased by 60- and 25-fold, respectively. The gamma-Proteobacteria were enriched by 120- and 230-fold in beads containing 200 mg atrazine kg−1 in conditioned and control soil, respectively. The results demonstrate that BioSep® beads are a suitable matrix for recruiting a diverse subset of the bacterial community involved in atrazine degradation. 相似文献

Arbitrary oligonucleotides were used as primers to amplifygenomic DNA of 48 wild Spanish populations of Agropyroncristatum, Elymus hispanicus,E. caninus,E. repens,Thinopyrum curvifolium, Th.junceum and Th.intermedium. Genetic diversity was analysedusing nineteen primers. The number of amplified products ranged from8 to 18 per primer and a total of 240 markers were scored. Differentlevels of intraspecific genetic diversity were found, the allogamousspecies E. repens andTh. intermedium being themost variable. Jaccard's similarity coefficients for internalmeasure within and between populations were used to produce a clusterdiagram. The results demonstrate differences in the degree ofsimilarity between taxonomic units. Interpopulational variability andinterspecific genomic relationships of these species arediscussed. 相似文献

The effects of three commonly used fungicides on the colonization and sporulation by a mixture of three arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi consisting of Glomus etunicatum (Becker & Gerd.), Glomus mosseae (Nicol. & Gerd.) Gerd. & Trappe, and Gigaspora rosea (Nicol. & Schenck) in symbiosis with pea plants and the resulting response of the host-plant were examined. Benomyl, PCNB, and captan were applied as soil drenches at a rate of 20 mg active ingredient kg-1 soil 2 weeks after transplanting pea seedlings in a silty clay-loam soil containing the mixed inocula of AM fungi (AM plants). Effects of fungicides were compared to untreated plants that were inoculated with fungi (AM control). The effect of mycorrhizal inoculation on plant growth was also examined by including nonmycorrhizal, non-fungicide-treated plants (non-AM control). Fungicides or inoculation with AM fungi had only a small effect on the final shoot weights of pea plants, but had greater effects on root length and seed yield. AM control plants had higher seed yields and lower root lengths than the corresponding non-AM plants, and the fungicide-treated AM plants had intermediate yields and root lengths. Seed N and P contents were likewise highest in AM control plants, lowest in non-AM plants, and intermediate in fungicide-treated AM plants. All three fungicides depressed the proportion (%) of root length colonized by AM fungi, but these differences did not translate to reductions in the total root length that was colonized, since roots were longer in the fungicide-treated AM plants. Pea plants apparently compensated for the reduction in AM-fungal metabolism due to fungicides by increasing root growth. Fungicides affected the population of the three fungi as determined by sporulation at the final harvest. Captan significantly reduced the number, relative abundance, and relative volume of G. rosea spores in the final population relative to the controls. The relative volume of G. etunicatum spores was greater in all the fungicide-treated soils, while G. mosseae relative volumes were only greater in the captan-treated soil. These findings show that fungicides can alter the species composition of an AM-fungal community. The results also show that AM fungi can increase seed yield without enhancing the vegetative shoot growth of host plants. 相似文献
