Biochemical composition and kinetics of C and N mineralization of animal wastes: a typological approach     

Thierry Morvan  Bernard Nicolardot  Léonard Péan 《Biology and Fertility of Soils》2006,42(6):513-522

Forty-seven different animal wastes were characterized using chemical and organic matter fractionation methods (water extraction and Van Soest method) and 224-day incubation studies to assess their decomposition in soil. Simple correlation and multiple factor analysis were performed to establish relationships between the composition of these wastes and C and N mineralization. Carbon and N contents ranged from 101 to 469 mg C kg⁻¹ dry matter (d.m.) and from 4 to 39 mg N kg⁻¹ d.m. Soluble C and N represented less than 9% of organic C and 1.5% of total N at 20°C, respectively. The C fractions soluble at 100°C or in neutral detergent were larger and represented 14 and 32% of the organic C, respectively. The hemicellulose-like (HEM) and cellulose-like (CEL) fractions contained about 16.5 and 6% of the organic N, respectively. The C distribution in the lignin-like (LIG) and CEL fractions was comparable, but the former contained more N. Carbon mineralization varied from 5 to 62% of the organic C added during the 224-day incubation; 70% of the wastes induced net N mineralization at the end of incubation (from 3 to 51% of organic N). Other wastes induced net soil inorganic N immobilization, from −1 to −31% of the organic N added. Most highly significant correlations were established between the C mineralization and the C present in the water-soluble fraction at 20°C, and the HEM and LIG fractions. Relationships between N mineralization and biochemical characteristics were weak, except with the soluble Van Soest fraction, and highly significant correlations were observed between N mineralization rates calculated at 224 days of incubation and the organic N content or C/N ratio of wastes. Finally, an objective hierarchical classification based on composition criteria and C and N mineralization led to the definition of six different classes of wastes. It permitted differentiation between four composted wastes and intrinsically different wastes (i.e., cattle manures, pig manures, and poultry manures) which could not be objectively regrouped. It also placed some very different types of waste (solid phase from pig slurry separation, pig manures, and composted pig mixtures) in the same class.  相似文献   

Phosphate Fertilizers for Sugarcane Used at Pre-Planting (Phosphorus Fertilizer Application)     

Robson Thiago Xavier de Sousa  Gaspar Henrique Korndörfer  Rogério Augusto Brem Soares  Patrícia Rezende Fontoura 《Journal of plant nutrition》2015,38(9):1444-1455

Phosphate applications are still rare in sugarcane cultivation and can be done with phosphorus fertilizers of residual over. This study aims to evaluate the agronomic efficiency of phosphate fertilization before sugarcane planting and its effect on sugarcane yield. The study was carried out over three crop cycles at the Jalles Machado sugar-mill in Goianésia, GO, Brazil. The treatments consisted of five different phosphorus sources (soluble and insoluble) applied at a rate of 300 kg ha^?1 phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅). The phosphorus fertilizers used were: triple superphosphate, mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP), Arad rock phosphate, Itafós rock phosphate, and magnesium term phosphate. The effects of these fertilizers were evaluated by plant height (ground to Top Visible Dewlap; TVD), leaf phosphorus content, agronomic efficiency, and sugarcane yield from cane-plants, first ratoon, and second ratoon. Magnesium term phosphate and triple superphosphate resulted in greater plant-cane height. Leaf phosphorus concentrations were highest with applications of MAP, magnesium term phosphate, and triple superphosphate. Phosphate applications did not affect sugarcane plant yield, but did increase ratoon yield. In general, the residual effect of insoluble phosphate increased over the years. The agronomic efficiency (AE) of phosphate was (in descending order): triple superphosphate (100%), term phosphate (89%), MAP (80%), Itafós rock phosphate (67%), and Arad rock phosphate (60%).  相似文献   

Manioc peel and charcoal: a potential organic amendment for sustainable soil fertility in the tropics   总被引：10，自引：0，他引：10

In tropical areas, where crop production is limited by low soil quality, the development of techniques improving soil fertility without damage to the environment is a priority. In French Guiana, we used subsistence farmer plots on poor acidic soils to test the effect of different organic amendments, bitter manioc peel (M), sawdust (Sw) and charcoal (Ch), on soil nutrient content, earthworm abundance and yard-long bean (Vigna unguiculata sesquipedalis) production. The peregrine Pontoscolex corethrurus was the only earthworm species found. Pod production and plant growth were lowest in unamended soil. The application of a mixture of manioc peel and charcoal (M + Ch) improved legume production compared with other organic mixtures. It combined the favourable effects of manioc peel and charcoal. Manioc peel improved soil fertility through its low C:N ratio and its high P content, while charcoal decreased soil acidity and exchangeable Al and increased Ca and Mg availability, thus alleviating the possible toxic effects of Al on plant growth. The M + Ch treatment was favourable to P. corethrurus, the juvenile population of which reached a size comparable to that of the nearby uncultivated soil. The application of a mixture of manioc peel and charcoal, by improving crop production and soil fertility and enhancing earthworm activity, could be a potentially efficient organic manure for legume production in tropical areas where manioc is cultivated under slash-and-burn shifting agriculture.  相似文献   

Ion Leaching Before and After Clear-Cutting in a Norway Spruce Stand - Effects of Long-Term Application of Ammonium Nitrate and Superphosphate     

Berdén  Maria  Nilsson  S. Ingvar  Nyman  Per 《Water, air, and soil pollution》1997,93(1-4):1-26

Soil solution chemistry was measured in a Haplic Podzol in a Norway spruce (Picea abies, L.Karst) site in central Sweden that had received frequent low-dose applications of nitrogen (N) asammonium nitrate (30-120 kg N/ha yr) and phosphorus (P) as superphosphate (20-40 kg P/haabout every third year) over a long period (22 yr). The aim was to investigate effects of added Non the ion leaching before and after clear-cutting. The N load corresponded well with actual loadsin central Europe. Prior to clear-cutting, fertilization increased concentrations of several ions inthe soil solution. Total losses of NO ₃ ^- , Al andH⁺ increased with the intensity of fertilization. However, since fertilization enhanced tree growthand nutrient uptake, differences between the total losses of several other ions tended to beequalized. After clear-cutting, the pH in the soil solution decreased, and the losses of Mn and Alincreased with fertilizer load, probably because of increased N mineralization and nitrification. Inthe N treatments the concentration of SO ₄ ^2- in the soil solution decreased, probably owing toincreased adsorption in the B horizon in response to the pH decrease. The effects ofanthropogenic N deposition are discussed in the light of our findings and possible causes oftemporal and spatial variation in soil solution chemistry and ion fluxes are suggested.  相似文献   

Occurrence of PCBr in Ambient Air and Surface Soil in an Urban Site of Madrid     

García-Alonso  S.  Pérez-Pastor  R. M. 《Water, air, and soil pollution》2003,146(1-4):283-295

This article describes the temperature dependence of sixteen PCBs in ambient air from the relationship ln(C) = m + (1000/T) + b and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation from data obtained at an open urban area of Madrid. The study was applied to predice long/short range transport influence as PCB sources in a typical semi-urban ambient without the influence of industrialised or contaminated sites around. The present study also relate surface soil/ambient air data to characterise soil/air cycled seasonal behaviour in the observation site. Regarding both compartments, a comparison was done calculating fugacity quotients from one full year data.  相似文献   

Aluminium speciation: Variations caused by the choice of analytical method and by sample storage     

Maria Berdén  Nicholas Clarke  Lars -Göran Danielsson  Anders Sparén 《Water, air, and soil pollution》1994,72(1-4):213-233

We have compared a new FIA method (M1) for aluminium speciation in natural waters and a manual one based on one of Driscoll's proposals (M2). In synthetic solutions, aluminium's fluoro complexes were measured as ‘labile monomeric AP (Al _i ) by M2, but not as ‘quickly reacting Al’ (Al _qr ) by M1. Aluminium's complexes with Nordic Reference Humic Acid were measured neither as Al _i nor as Al _qr , and the same result was obtained for Al's citrato complexes. After excluding aluminium's fluoro complexes from Al _i , the results of the two methods agreed well for soil leaching samples and fairly well for natural water samples. Detection limits: 10μg L^?1 (ca. 0.4 μM) for both methods. Sample throughputs: M1∶66 injections h^?1; M2∶5 samples h^?1. Repeatabilities (RSD) on natural water samples: M1∶0.6–5.8% and M2 0.7–4.6%. Sample storage studies on soil solutions (FIA method) indicated that storage effects were ‘sample type specific’. A sample with a low level of Al _qr and a high DOC level (P2A) was more sensitive to storage than one with a high [Al] _qr and a low [DOC] (P2B^*). The decrease in [Al] _qr was statistically significant after 10 h (P2A) and 24 h (P2B^*), respectively. After 3 days' storage, [Al] _qr had decreased by some 40% in P2A, while the decrease in P2B^* was less than 10% after 8 days. The results of this part of the study also emphasize the importance of careful method standardization in sample storage studies.  相似文献   

Determination of trinexapac in wheat by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry     

Hiemstra M  de Kok A 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2003,51(20):5855-5860

A quantitative and confirmatory method for the analysis of trinexapac (free acid metabolite of trinexapac-ethyl) in wheat is described. Residues were extracted from wheat with acetonitrile in aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 7) overnight. The extract was directly injected into the HPLC system. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an octadecylsilica column, and detection was performed by negative ion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The precursor ion of trinexapac [M - H](-) at m/z 223 was subjected to collisional fragmentation with argon to yield two intense diagnostic product ions at m/z 135 and 179, respectively. Accuracy and specificity for routine analysis of trinexapac were demonstrated. The validated concentration range was 10-200 microg/kg based on a 0.10 g/mL wheat sample extract. Recoveries were within the range of 71-94%, with associated relative standard deviations better than 10%. The limit of detection for trinexapac in wheat was estimated at 5 microg/kg. The method has been applied to a survey of 100 samples of wheat. In 46% of the samples analyzed, a quantifiable amount of trinexapac was detected, ranging from 10 to 110 microg/kg. It has been demonstrated that analyses of trinexapac accurately reflect the total amount of residues of the plant growth regulator, trinexapac-ethyl, in the wheat samples following field application. No residues of the parent compound, trinexapac-ethyl, in wheat were detected.  相似文献   

Variation in primitive landraces of common bean (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Phaseolus vulgaris</Emphasis> L.) from Argentina     

Antonio M. De Ron  María C. Menéndez-Sevillano  Marta Santalla 《Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution》2005,51(8):883-894

The phenotypic variation found in four common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) complex primitive landraces, among a group of accessions collected in Northwestern Argentina in several missions is described, with particular attention to the wide diversity found in some small areas. It is presented a hypothesis about the maintenance of such diversity in bean mixtures or complex primitive landraces that grow close to their wild relative. Wide diversity regarding to seed type and plant characteristics was displayed by the landraces MCM-SV (composed of 11 lines), MCM-292 (14 lines), MCM-298 (5 lines) and VAV-3716 (14 lines). Food uses of dry seed and fresh pod seemed to be more relevant than the aesthetic use although all of them were presumably considered by humans for centuries resulting in the current phenotypes of these complex primitive landraces. Additionally, some weedy types (intermediate between wild and domesticated types) were detected in the landracesMCM-292 and MCM-298. The four complex landraces described consisted of highly diverse mixtures and they could play a role in breeding to enlarge the genetic basis of domesticated bean varieties belonging to the Andean gene pool.  相似文献   

Bioactive cinchona alkaloids from Remijia peruviana     

Ruiz-Mesia L  Ruiz-Mesía W  Reina M  Martínez-Diaz R  de Inés C  Guadaño A  González-Coloma A 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(6):1921-1926

Three known Cinchona alkaloids of the quinine type, quinine (1), cupreine (2), cinchonine (3), and the possible artifact cinchonine-HCl (3-HCl), along with two new ones, acetylcupreine (4) and N-ethylquinine (5), have been isolated from the bark of Remijia peruviana (Rubiaceae). Their stereochemical structures were established by high resolution NMR spectroscopy. Alkaloids 2-4 had antifeedant effects on Leptinotarsa decemlineata with varying potencies. Compound 4 was cytotoxic to both insect Sf9 and mammalian CHO cells after 48 h of incubation, while 3-HCl had stronger and selective cytotoxicity to Sf9. Quinine 1 had a moderate to low effect on Trypanosoma cruzi. Tumoral cells were also affected by these alkaloids, with 4 and 3-HCl being the most cytotoxic to all the cell lines tested. Overall, the 8R, 9S configurations, as in 3 and 3-HCl, as well as the C-6'acetylated alkaloid 4, with an 8S, 9R configuration, showed stronger biological effects.  相似文献   

Multiresidue analysis of pesticides in soil by gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection and gas chromatography mass spectrometry     

Fenoll J  Hellín P  Marín C  Martínez CM  Flores P 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(20):7661-7666

A rapid multiresidue method for the simultaneous determination of 25 fungicides and insecticides in soil was developed. Soil samples are extracted by sonication with a water-acetonitrile mixture, and the pesticides are partitioned into dichloromethane. Final determination was made by gas chromatography (GC) with nitrogen-phosphorus detection (NPD). Confirmation analysis of pesticides was carried out by GC-MS in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The identification of compounds was based on retention time and on comparison of the primary and secondary ions. The average recovery by the GC-NPD method obtained for these compounds varied from 68.5% to 112.1% with a relative standard deviation between 1.8% and 6.2%. The GC-NPD method presents good linearity over the range assayed 50-2000 microg/L, and the detection limit for the pesticides studied varied from 0.1 to 10.4 microg/kg. The proposed method was used to determine pesticide levels in soil samples from experimental greenhouse pepper cultivation.  相似文献
