Numbers of earthworms collected from direct-drilled or ploughed land were studied during successive years on contrasting soil types sown with cereals. Samples were taken in autumn using a combination of chemical expulsion and hand sorting of soil. The population was consistently larger on direct-drilled than on ploughed land, and the difference became greater in each successive year. Deep burrowing species were affected similarly to the population as a whole. Population differences on the two treatments were greater with spring — than autumn - sown crops. After tine cultivation numbers were usually similar to those after ploughing. On a direct-drilled clay soil on which straw had been either burned, or chopped and spread, no differences were recorded in the overall population. However, significantly larger numbers of deep burrowing species were found on the chopped and spread areas, whereas on the burned areas numbers of Allolobophora chlorotica were significantly greater.  相似文献

The effects of ploughness tillage (stubble cultivation with a disc tiller or a spring tine cultivator, or with both in combination, replacing mouldboard ploughing) on evaporation were investigated using undisturbed soil lysimeters (height = 350 mm, diameter = 300 mm) excavated after spring cultivation in May from field experiments in eastern Sweden. The evaporation process was measured on ploughed and unploughed soil lysimeters, both with or without precipitation and with or without a seedbed. The effects on evaporation of incorporating crop residues with or without precipitation into a ploughed seedbed were also measured. The results from a heavy clay and from a silty clay loam showed that both ploughless tillage and incorporated straw reduced cumulative evaporation. The water-conserving effect was greater in irrigated treatments. The positive effect on water conservation was also greater on the silty clay loam than on the heavy clay. The soil structural changes brought about by ploughless tillage in layers under the seedbed acted to reduce the rate of evaporation from soil.  相似文献

In a long-term cultivation experiment on a sandy clay loam overlying magnesian limestone and cropped with spring barley (Hordeum sativum) each year, mouldboard ploughing, shallow tine cultivation and direct drilling were compared. Compaction had become evident on the direct drilled treatment and to alleviate this the ‘Paraplow’, a slant-legged soil loosening implement, was used on all treatments to a depth of 35 cm in the autumn of 1980.A crop of spring barley (var. Athos) was grown in 1981, at a nitrogen fertiliser rate of 75 kg ha?1 N. Root growth, shoot dry matter, nitrogen uptake, grain yield and components of yield were recorded. Soil strength (by cone resistance) and dry bulk density of the soil were also measured. As a mean of all cultivation systems the ‘Paraplow’ increased grain yield by 12%. The response of the crop to cultivation by the ‘Paraplow’ was greatest on the mouldboard ploughed and long-term direct-drilled systems. The latter out-yielded the former, with shallow tine cultivation intermediate.The decrease in soil strength caused by the ‘Paraplow’ resulted in more rapid penetration of root axes and greater proliferation of roots in each horizon of the profile. There was no significant effect on shoot dry matter up to anthesis but, at harvest, barley on land treated with the ‘Paraplow’ had more ears with more grains per ear. Thousand-grain weight was not affected.The poorer growth of barley on ploughed than direct drilled land in 1981 was explained by temporary waterlogging of the soil in May.  相似文献

This work investigated the availability to cereal crops of inorganic nitrogen at differing soil depths at different growth stages. Experiments were done in the field on a silt loam soil on which winter barley was grown after direct drilling or conventional seed-bed preparation after ploughing.At three growth stages (Zadoks 25, 31 and 45) nitrogen labelled with the isotope 15N was introduced to microplots (area 707 cm2) at depths 7.5, 15, 30 and 50 cm. After an interval of 2 or 3 days to allow uptake of this nitrate by the roots, the herbage growing on the microplots was harvested and tracer-nitrogen content measured.Labelled-nitrogen adsorption was greatest from 7.5 cm depth, and uptake approximately halved for each depth increment. This decline with depth was more pronounced on the ploughed plots. Irrespective of cultivation method, total tracer-nitrogen adsorption averaged over all depths was much the same at growth stages 25 and 31 (mid-March and April), but at growth stage 45 (late May) the uptake on the direct-drilled treatment was almost twice that on the ploughed. Nitrogen concentration was significantly smaller in the direct-drilled crop particularly at the May harvest (Zadoks 45) and this starvation may have been responsible for the greater utilization by the direct-drilled crops of a fresh supply of nitrogen.  相似文献

The nitrate content of three heavy clay soils (Evesham, Denchworth and Lawford series) was examined after direct drilling or ploughing, and of another clay soil (Denchworth series) with or without mole drainage and after tine cultivation. Autumn-sown crops were grown at all these sites during the years 1973–80. Except in 1974–75, the nitrate concentration of the soil solution sampled from direct-drilled plots was less than from the ploughed plots, particularly in late autumn and early winter. By January the plots which had been ploughed contained 12–65 kg N ha?1 more mineral nitrogen than direct-drilled plots, but differences between cultivation treatments disappeared rapidly and had gone by early March. After tine cultivation, the nitrate content of the soil profile was not affected by the contrasting drainage status of the plots with or without mole drainage. These results support the view that although denitrification can be greater in direct-drilled soil, the larger nitrate concentrations present in ploughed soil result from the soil disturbance exposing less accessible substrates to mineralization by microbes. By this means, considerable amounts of mineral nitrogen are made available at the beginning of the winter, during the establishment of autumn-sown crops.  相似文献

The area of soil disturbed using a single tine is well documented. However, modern strip tillage implements using a tine and disc design have not been assessed in the UK or in mainland Europe. Using a strip tillage implement has potential benefits for European agriculture where economic returns and sustainability are key issues. Using a strip tillage system a narrow zone is cultivated leaving most of the straw residue on the soil surface. Small field plot experiments were undertaken on three soil types and the operating parameters of forward speed, tine depth and tine design were investigated together with measurements of seedbed tilth and crop emergence. The type of tine used was found to be the primary factor in achieving the required volume of disturbance within a narrow zone whilst maintaining an area of undisturbed soil with straw residue on the surface. The winged tine produced greater disturbance at a given depth compared with the knife tine. Increasing forward speed did not consistently increase the volume of disturbance. In a sandy clay loam the tilth created and emergence of sugar beet by strip tillage and ploughing were similar but on a sandy loam the strip tillage treatments generally gave a finer tilth but poorer emergence particularly at greater working depth.  相似文献

In the surface 5 cm of a clay soil in 2 successive years the microbial biomass, as measured by a fumigation-respiration technique, was constant. The biomasses in two clay soils were approximately ten times greater than that in a silt loam. When straw from a preceding crop was chopped and left on the soil surface the biomass after 8 months was greater by a factor of two than that in soil where the straw had been burnt. Where soil had been kept in grass for 9 yr, the biomass was greater by a factor of three than that in soil of the same kind that had been in arable cultivation for the previous 4 yr. As the fumigation-respiration technique measured only the microbial and microfaunal contribution to the biomass, the total biomass can only be assessed by measuring the root contribution separately; when this was done the total biomass in the grassland was found to be greater by a factor of about six.  相似文献

Two field experiments in which straw has been removed or incorporated for 17 yr (loamy sand) and 10 yr (sandy clay loam) were sampled to examine the effect of straw on the C and N contents in whole soil samples, macro-aggregate fractions and primary particle-size separates. The particle size composition of the aggregate fractions was determined. Aggregates were isolated by dry sieving. Straw incorporation increased the number of 1–20 mm aggregates in the loamy sand but no effect was noted in the sandy clay loam. Straw had no effect on the particle size composition of the various aggregate fractions. After correction for loose sand that accumulated in the aggregate fractions during dry sieving, macro-aggregates appeared to be enriched in clay and silt compared with whole soil samples. Because of the possible detachment of sand particles from the exterior surface of aggregates during sieving operations, it was inferred that the particle size composition of macro-aggregates is similar to that of the bulk soil. The organic matter contents of the aggregate fractions were closely correlated with their clay + silt contents. Differences in the organic matter content of clay isolated from whole soil samples and aggregate fractions were generally small. This was also true for the silt-size separates. In both soils, straw incorporation increased the organic matter content of nearly all clay and silt separates; for silt this was generally twice that observed for clay. The amounts of soil C, derived from straw, left in the loamy sand and sandy clay loam at the time of sampling were 4.4 and 4.5 t ha?1, corresponding to 12 and 21% of the straw C added. The C/N ratios of the straw-derived soil organic matter were 11 and 12 for the loamy sand and sandy clay loam, respectively.  相似文献

A large-scale field experiment was conducted over four seasons on a gleysol (24% clay in topsoil) in Scotland. Conventional ploughing, shallow ploughing and shallow rotary or tine cultivation were investigated for the incorporation of straw in winter barley. Straw after harvest was either chopped or removed. Thus the residue treatments were either straw plus stubble or stubble only. Incorporation depths ranged from 0–100 to 0–300 mm.The presence of straw changed soil physical conditions after several seasons in which straw was incorporated. In the ploughed treatments, the presence of straw plus stubble decreased the average soil water content and matric potential in the topsoil in comparison to stubble only, indicating more rapid drainage. This was associated with the presence of buried straw in zones of loose soil just above plough depth and with a long-term increase in soil pore continuity related to the presence of straw residues. The presence of straw plus stubble under conventional ploughing decreased thermal diffusivities in the top 150 mm of soil in comparison with stubble only. Shallow incorporation of straw plus stubble gave higher overall strengths, bulk densities, lower water infiltration rates and poorer drainage in the topsoil than deeper incorporation. However, shallow incorporation caused an accumulation of organic matter over the first three seasons. This accumulation probably contributed to the increased aggregate stability and resistance to compaction of the top 50-mm soil layer, indicating improved resistance to erosion and to further compaction.  相似文献

The influence of tillage methods on plant water status was measured in spring barley on a sandy loam soil (Wighill series) in 1976. Three methods of tillage were used: direct drilling, tine cultivation to 12.5 cm depth, and moldboard plowing to 20 cm depth. Soil bulk density was higher in the 0–5 and 5–10 cm layers of the direct-drilled plots. Soil strength was also higher in the direct-drilled plots to 22.8 cm depth compared with plowed plots, and to 15.2 cm depth compared wiht tine-cultivated plots. Thje only significant effect on soil water content (measured to 90 cm depth) was between 80 and 114 days from planting when extraction from the 0–10 cm depth was greater in the direct-drilled plots compared with the plowed plots, and at 20 cm depth greater in plowed plots than in direct-drilled plots. There were no significant differences between tillage methods in leaf water potential, above-ground dry matter produced, and grain yield.  相似文献

Two field trials with spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were conducted at two locations in Denmark in order to evaluate the effects of tillage and growth of a catch crop on yield parameters under temperate coastal climate conditions. Ploughing in autumn or spring in combination with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) as a catch crop was evaluated on a coarse sand (Orthic Haplohumod) from 1987 to 1992 at three rates of N fertiliser application (60, 90 and 120 kg N ha−1 year−1). Rotovating and direct drilling were also included as additional tillage practices. The experiment was conducted on a 19-year-old field trial with continuous production of spring barley. Ploughing in autumn or spring in combination with stubble cultivation and a catch crop, in addition to minimum tillage, was evaluated in a newly established field trial on a sandy loam (Typic Agrudalf) from 1988 to 1992. Yield parameters and N concentrations in grain and straw were determined. On the coarse sand, N uptake in the grain in ploughed plots without a catch crop was significantly greater when spring ploughed as opposed to autumn ploughed, but grain and straw yields did not differ significantly. Grain yield, straw yield and total N uptake did not differ significantly between direct drilled and autumn ploughed plots, but the trend was for grain yield to be lower with direct drilling. After 19 years of catch crop use, yield parameters in ploughed plots were greater than in plots without catch crops. This was most pronounced in the autumn ploughed plots. Rotovating the catch crop in the spring decreased grain yield compared with underploughing the catch crop in autumn or spring. No significant interactions were found between tillage and N rates. On the sandy loam, grain as well as straw yield and total N uptake were not significantly affected by catch crop or time of ploughing. Grain yield was significantly lower with reduced tillage (stubble cultivation in autumn) than in all other treatments.  相似文献

Abstract

Four rates of straw (0, 4, 8 and 12 t ha?1 yr?1) were incorporated in a field experiment with continuous spring barley. The experiment was conducted on a sandy soil (5.5% clay) and a sandy loam soil (11.2% clay). After eight years, the straw incorporation was combined with catch-crop growing with and without winter application of animal slurry and also spring fertilization with mineral fertilizer (0, 50, 100 or 125 kg N ha?1 yr?1). The combined experiment was conducted for three lyears on the sandy soil and for four years on the sandy loam soil. The effects on barley dry matter yield and N uptake are presented together with the long-term effects of the straw incorporations on crop growth and soil C and N. Grain yield on the sandy loam was unaffected by straw incorporation. On the sandy soil the highest straw application rates reduced grain yield in the unfertilized barley. When the barley received mineral fertilizer at recommended levels (100 kg N ha?1 yr?1), grain yield on this soil was also unaffected by the high straw rates. Including a catch crop had a positive effect on the grain yield of barley on both soils. The total N uptake in grain and straw generally increased with straw application up to 8 t ha?1 yr?1. With the highest straw application rate (12 t ha?1 yr?1), the total N uptake decreased but still exceeded N uptake in barley grown with straw removal. The barley accumulated higher amounts of N when a catch crop was included. The total N uptake in the barley was significantly higher after animal slurry application. The extra N uptake, however, was much lower than the amounts of N applied with the slurry. Incorporation of straw had only a small influence on N uptake after slurry application. The straw, therefore, was not able to store the applied N during winter. In the two four-year periods before the combined experiment, grain yield on the sandy loam was generally negatively affected by straw incorporations. In the second period, N uptake began to show a positive effect of the straw. On the sandy soil, grain yield and N uptake during the whole period were generally positively affected by the straw incorporations except for the highest straw rate (12 t ha?1 yr?1). The sandy loam soil showed higher increases in C and N content after the repeated straw incorporations and catch-crop growing than the sandy soil. When application of animal slurry was combined with the catch crop, no further increases in soil C and N were found relative to soil where a catch crop was grown without slurry application. Large amounts of the N applied with the slurry may therefore have been lost by denitrification or nitrate leaching.  相似文献

Computer simulation was used for predictive analysis of the effects of weather and soil type on crop yield in the U.S.crop insurance program.The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model was modified to include hail weather events,which completed the modifications necessary to simulate the four most frequent causes of crop yield loss (hail,excessive wet,excessive cold,and excessive dry) associated with soil type in Kansas,USA.At the region level,per hectare yields were simulated for corn,wheat,soybean,and sorghum.We concluded that it was possible to predict crop yields through computer simulation with greater than 93% accuracy.The hail damage model test indicated EPIC could predict hail-soil-induced yield losses reasonably well (R2 > 0.6).The investigation of soil type influence on dryland sorghum and wheat production indicated that Wymore silty clay loam soil and Kenoma silt loam produced the highest sorghum yields statistically;Kuma silt loam,Roxbury silt loam,Crete silty clay loam,and Woodson silt soils produced the second highest sorghum yields statistically;and Richfiled silt loam,Wells loam,and Canadian sandy loam produced the lowest sorghum yields.By contrast,wheat production showed less sensitivity to soil type variation.The less sensitive response of wheat yields to the soil type could be largely due to the unconsidered small-scale variability of soil features.  相似文献

为阐明稻麦轮作体系下秸秆还田对作物产量与稻田可溶性有机碳（DOC）的影响,通过连续2年盆栽试验研究了两种典型土壤（壤土和黏土）在无秸秆还田、半量秸秆还田、全量秸秆还田3种处理下稻麦产量和稻季土壤溶液DOC浓度的动态变化。结果表明,秸秆还田显著增加了两种土壤大多数处理的水稻产量,增幅1.6%~11.9%,其中全量秸秆还田的增产效果大于半量秸秆还田（第1年不显著,第2年显著）。秸秆还田对小麦产量的影响因土壤类型而异,壤土中小麦产量显著增加7.2%~10.6%（第1年）或增产不显著（第2年）,但全量秸秆还田和半量秸秆还田处理之间没有显著差异;黏土中小麦显著减产（5.0%~9.3%）,其中第2年的全量秸秆还田减产效应显著大于半量秸秆还田。秸秆还田及土壤类型显著影响水稻前期（烤田之前）的土壤溶液DOC浓度,全量秸秆还田、半量秸秆还田分别比无秸秆还田处理平均增加141.7%、61.9%,壤土比黏土平均增加89.6%;间歇淹水之后,所有秸秆还田处理及土壤类型的DOC浓度均迅速降低。总体上,秸秆还田对两种土壤的水稻增产都有利,但对黏土小麦增产不利,秸秆还田显著增加了稻田前期的DOC浓度,间歇淹水可以迅速降低稻田DOC浓度。  相似文献

Abstract. Direct drilling was compared with mouldboard ploughing on a sandy clay loam using winter wheat as the test crop for a period of four years (1978/79 to 1981/82). The effect of short- and long-term sequences of direct-drilling on grain yield from 1981/85 was also investigated and in 1983/84 and 1984/85 the effect of soil loosening by a slant-legged subsoiler, the'Paraplow'. The range in annual mean yields was 7.19 to 9.32 t ha-1. There were no significant differences in grain yield between direct-drilling and ploughing except in 1979 when direct-drilled wheat yielded 0.60 t ha-1 more than wheat after ploughing. The number of years the land had been direct-drilled had no effect on grain yield.
Using a slant-legged subsoiler on direct-drilled land significantly reduced cone resistance and increased root density, but these effects were variable across the working width of the implement. Subsoiling did not increase yield in 1983/84, and in 1984/85 it reduced yield by 0.45 t ha-1.
Long-term direct drilling of winter wheat on the Tickenham soil series is unlikely to result in a loss of yield provided straw is burnt and grass weeds are controlled.  相似文献

In a laboratory experiment, incorporation of paddy straw in soil immobilized native as well as added fertilizer N and about half of the immobilized N was mineralized after 90 days of straw incorporation. Straw and N application alone or in combination increased biomass carbon, phosphatase and respiratory activities of the soil. Microbial biomass carbon and phosphatase activity were maximum at 30 days of straw decomposition. In field trials, incorporation of paddy straw 3 weeks before sowing of wheat significantly increased the wheat yield at Sonepat district in a clay loam soil while no such beneficial effect was observed in a sandy loam soil at Hisar.  相似文献

土壤培肥过程中氮素的积累和在各级土壤颗粒中的分配对了解土壤氮素积累机制和氮素的可持续管理具有重要意义。本研究以红壤旱地长期定位试验为基础,采用离心法分离土壤颗粒,通过分析氮素在土壤不同颗粒中的含量,研究长期施肥对土壤中不同粒级土壤氮的分配的影响。结果表明,施肥二十年后,在020 cm土层,施肥处理的全氮含量在1.19~1.98 g/kg 之间,施肥处理全氮含量显著高于不施肥处理（CK）。在2040 cm土层,土壤全氮含量分布在0.59~0.84 g/kg之间,显著低于表层土壤氮含量; 在020 cm土层,与氮磷钾化肥配施处理（NPK）相比,单施或者配施有机肥的土壤与砂粒、 粗粉粒、 细粉粒、 粘粒结合的氮含量分别提高220%、 84%、 46%和26%。而在2040 cm土层,与NPK处理相比,有机肥的施用仅提高了与细粉粒、 粘粒结合的氮含量,降低了与粗粉粒结合的氮含量; 在020 cm土层中,红壤氮素主要分布在粘粒中。2040 cm土层CK、 NPK和氮磷钾配施加秸秆还田处理（NPKS）表现为与粗粉粒结合的氮的分配比例最高,而施用有机肥的处理氮素分布仍以粘粒占比例最高。相关分析表明,土壤表层＜5 m粒级的土壤颗粒中氮含量和作物的经济产量呈显著性正相关。长期施用有机肥可以显著提高表层土壤全氮及与各个颗粒结合氮的含量,不同处理的氮主要保存在粘粒中。而亚表层土壤中,施化肥或者秸秆还田加速了粘粒结合态氮的耗竭,配施有机肥促进了氮在粘粒中的积累,也更有利于土壤全氮的积累,是可持续的氮素管理措施。  相似文献

Vane shear strength, water status and bulk density were measured at various times in a growing season at two depths in a swelling clay topsoil. The site comprised experimental plots that had been ploughed annually, or direct-drilled for 10 years; short-term fallow areas, created on adjacent long-term grassland, were compared with the arable plots. In the middle of the topsoil layer (nominally 120 mm depth) of all three treatments shear strength was linearly related to water content, and similarly to bulk density in the direct-drilled and ploughed soils. Closer to the soil surface (nominally 40 mm), relationships between strength and wetness or density were less distinct, particularly in the spring, when drying was not accompanied by an increase in strength; possible reasons for this anomaly are considered. The shear strength of the untilled soils was greater, at both depths, than that of the ploughed soil. Other factors including density, water potential, soil structure and organic constituents, differed with time or between treatments, and their contribution to variations in shear strength are discussed.  相似文献

Abstract

Rapid, uniform crop establishment is a precondition for efficient crop production. In order to develop guidelines for seedbed preparation and sowing, extensive experiments were carried out in plastic boxes placed in the field directly on the ground for studies of the effects of seedbed properties on crop emergence. This paper deals with the effects on emergence of cereals caused by surface-layer hardening, induced by simulated rainfall (irrigation) after sowing followed by dry weather. The experimental crop was spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Soils for the experiments (Eutric Cambisols, silt loam or clay loam in most cases) were collected from the surface layer of farm fields in various parts of Sweden. On soils with high silt content, irrigation after sowing often caused slumping and subsequent hardening of the whole seedbed. On clay soils, usually only a shallow surface crust formed. The earliest irrigation had the most negative effects on crop emergence. On a silt loam soil with unstable structure, irrigation with only 5 mm reduced emergence to under 20%. Later or heavier irrigation was often less negative, as it allowed the plants to emerge before the surface layer dried and hardened. Deep sowing greatly increased the negative effects on emergence, whereas soil aggregate size usually had negligible effects. It was concluded that when sowing in practice, seedbed preparation and sowing depth should be chosen to promote the fastest possible emergence. Sowing immediately before rain should be avoided, as should shallow sowing that requires rain for the seed to germinate.  相似文献
