Growth Analysis of Onion (Allium cepa L.) in Relation to Irrigation and Nitrogen Fertilization

Studies were carried out at the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore during winter seasons of 1982—83 and 1983—84 to analyse the growth rhythm of onion in relation to irrigation and N fertilization. It was observed that irrigation at 0.45 to 0.65 bar soil water potential recorded higher dry matter accumulation and distribution, leaf area index (LAI), leaf area duration (LAD), leaf area ratio (LAR) and crop growth rate (CGR) during most of the stages, while net assimilation rate (NAR) and relative growth rate (RGR) were not markedly affected. Highest harvest index was noticed with irrigation at 0.65 bar.
Nitrogen fertilization significantly increased dry matter accumulation and distribution into different parts, LAI, LAD, LAR, CGR and harvest index. Although NAR and RGR showed an increasing trend with N fertilization, the effect was not significant during most of the stages. There was no significant interaction between soil water potential and N fertilization on any of the growth parameters.     

Analysis of Growth and Productivity of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea) in Relation to FYM, Nitrogen and Source of Fertilizer

A field experiment was conducted during the winter seasons of 1992–93 and 1993–94 at Anand to study the effect of FYM, nitrogen and source of fertilizer on growth and yield of mustard [ Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj & Cosson]. The results showed significant variation in leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR), dry matter production and seed yield. The direct effect of farmyard manure (FYM) was conspicuous in improving the growth of mustard. FYM application at 10 tonnes ha⁻¹ significantly increased the LAI, CGR and dry matter accumulation per plant at almost all the stages during first year study (1992–93) and in pooled analysis. Similarly, nitrogen application registered maximum LAI, CGR at 75 kg level and RGR and NAR at 50 kg level at almost all the during both years. Sulphur carrying source (Ammonium sulphate plus single super phosphate) increased all stages growth characters. Maximum dry matter accumulation per plant and seed yield were recorded with highest levels of FYM (20 tonnes ha⁻¹), N (75 kg ha⁻¹) and source having S. Seed yield was strongly associated with LAI and dry matter accumulation per plant at all the stages.     

Ontogenic Changes in Growth and Assimilate Distribution as Influenced by N Supply in Rapeseed-mustard

Brassica juncea , cv. Pusa Bold, and Brassica campestris , cv. Pusa Kalyani, were raised under field conditions with varying levels of N fertilization, i.e. 0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N ha⁻¹. Changes in dry matter accumulation in various plant parts as influenced by N supply were measured throughout the crop ontogeny. N supply up to 120 kg had an increasing effect on the growth of leaves, stem and pods during the entire period till maturity. Analysis on the assimilate distribution pattern revealed that 84–87% of the total was accumulated during the post-flowering phase. Dry matter partitioning profile during the ontogeny indicated that about 72–83 % of the total DM was accumulated in the leaves, while 17–28 % in the stem, in the preflowering phase. This trend was found nearly opposite during the postflowering phase. At maturity, however, stem and pods accounted for nearly equal amounts of dry matter accumulation. Among the genotypes, Pusa Bold recorded significantly higher DM accumulation and seed yield over Pusa Kalyani which, on the other hand, exhibited a better assimilate-partioning ability than the former. Nitrogen levels had a favourable effect on LAI, LAD and CGR in both genotypes. Highly significant correlations were obtained between seed yield vs. LAI, LAD and CGR. N fertilization up to 120 kg ha⁻¹ was found beneficial in enhancing growth and yield of rapeseed-mustard.     

籼、粳超级稻光合物质生产与转运特征的差异研究

为阐明籼、粳超级稻干物质积累及光合生产特征的差异,以江苏地区大面积推广种植的5个超级杂交籼稻组合和5个常规粳型超级稻品种为试验材料,对稻麦两熟制条件下籼、粳超级稻干物质积累、分配、运转及叶面积、光合势、群体生长率、净同化率、秧苗素质、叶型等方面进行了系统的比较研究。结果表明,粳稻生育前期(移栽至拔节期)干物质积累量、光合势、群体生长率、净同化率及上三叶叶长、叶基角、叶开角、披垂度和叶面积衰减率、收获指数均小于籼稻,而生育中后期(拔节至成熟期)干物质积累量、光合势、群体生长率、净同化率及有效叶面积率、高效叶面积率、粒叶比(颖花/叶、实粒/叶、粒重/叶)、最大叶面积指数、总充实量、实收产量、生物产量、茎鞘最大输出量和表观输出量及比率均大于籼稻,差异显著或极显著。虽然粳稻主要生育期单茎干物重均不及籼稻,但群体数量优势保证粳稻具有较高的群体干物质积累量和叶面积,且随着生长发育的持续,群体光合物质生产优势不断加大,群体干物质积累量于抽穗后25 d前后超过籼稻。粳稻灌浆后期(乳熟至成熟期)仍保持强劲生长优势,而灌浆初期(抽穗至乳熟期)茎鞘贮存物质合理输出,有效保障了高效光合层的安全支撑及高积累产量库的流畅充实。高生物学产量的稳定形成和叶面积“稳升缓降”态势以及拔节至成熟期较强的高效光合物质生产,是粳稻光合系统高效持续产出、灌浆充实多及高产形成的重要特征和原因。     

超高产常规粳稻宁粳1号和宁粳3号群体特征及对氮的响应

2007-2008年对宁粳1号和宁粳3号的丰产示范方进行调查,2008年以宁粳3号为材料进行氮肥用量和前后比例试验,研究常规粳型超级稻超高产群体特征及对氮的响应。结果表明,常规粳型超级稻宁粳1号和宁粳3号抽穗后干物质积累占籽粒产量的70%~80%,茎叶等营养器官的表观转运率少,易高产稳产。足够的颖花量是高产稳产的保证,要达到11.0 t hm^-2以上的产量,颖花数要 ≥ 42 000 m^-2;要达到11.7 t hm^-2以上的产量,颖花数要 ≥ 45 000 m^-2,同时结实率 ≥ 90%,粒重 ≥ 26 mg。超高产群体抽穗期适宜叶面积指数(LAI)为7.0~7.5,叶色呈“黑黄”节奏变化,后期生长速率(CGR)高,收获指数(HI)≥ 0.5。氮肥的适量施用和适当后移,不仅可以保证宁粳1号和宁粳3号生育期“黑黄”节奏变化,建立抽穗期适宜LAI的群体,还可以保持超高产株型特征,提高抽穗后LAI、叶面积维持期、CGR和HI,最终实现超高产量。     

Growth Analysis Using Classical and Functional Techniques in Relation to Soil Moisture in Mustard

A Reid experiment was conducted to study the effect of soil moisture on growth of two mustard cultivars using classical and functional techniques of growth analysis. Two soil moisture levels were irrigated at 10-day intervals and a rainfed control was included. Total dry matter (TDM), leaf area index (LAI) and leaf area duration (LAD) were significantly increased by irrigation at most of stages of growth. Starting from a lower value, LAI and LAD reached a peak and then gradually declined. Among the growth attributes, crop growth rate (CGR), leaf area ratio (LAR) and leaf weight ratio (LWR) increased significantly under irrigation. Net assimilation rate (NAR) decreased more in the irrigated plants than the rainfed plants at the later stages of growth. LAR and LWR declined throughout with increasing time and plant weight. Seed yield of the irrigated plants was positively correlated with the pre-flowering LAI and the post-flowering CGR and NAR. In the rainfed plants, seed yield was positively correlated with LAI and CGR at the post-flowering stage and negatively with the post-flowering NAR and pre-flowering LAR.     

玉米‘洛玉863’群体动态指标研究

‘洛玉863’是洛阳农林科学院选育而成的高淀粉型玉米新品种,为了对该品种的高产栽培和示范推广提供理论依据,通过采用田间定点定株取样和公式法,研究了品种的群体动态指标,以明晰其适宜群体产量结构和群体动态指标,为品种的高产栽培和示范推广提供理论依据。结果表明：‘洛玉863’适宜种植密度为60000株/hm2,产量结构为60000穗/hm2、穗行数15.0行、行粒数37.5粒、千粒重381.5 g,群体生产力得到了充分的发挥,产量达12599.4 kg/hm2。适宜密度下,群体各项动态指标发展协调,叶面积指数(LAI)在吐丝期最大值达到5.41,且稳定期长,成熟时仍达2.94,使‘洛玉863’活秆成熟的优点得到充分体现;叶面积持续期(LAD)总量达到335.46×104 m2?d/hm2,在各生育时期的分配合理;净同化率(NAR)与叶面积持续期(LAD)协调较好;干物质积累总量24702.3 kg/hm2,其中吐丝期以后的干物质积累量占全部积累量的60%;群体生长率(CGR)达247.0 kg/(hm2?d);灌浆速率始终保持在合理的较高水平。吐丝期以后的叶面积指数(LAI)、叶面积持续期(LAD)、干物质积累量和群体生长率(CGR)与最终的籽粒产量呈密切的正相关,可以作为适宜群体的标志。     

Light Interception, Leaf Area Index and Dry Matter Yield in Fodder Sorghum at Different Plant Populations

Fodder sorghum (M. P. Chari) was grown at varying populations to examine its influence on light interception, leaf area index and biomass production. DMY, CGR and IPAR depending on LAI reached maximum at LAI 5 of 150 000 plants ha⁻¹ stand and thus yielded higher biomass. Therefore, physiological potential of fodder sorghum crop was found to be maximum at a population density of 150 000 plants ha⁻¹. Further increases in population developed mutual shading and adversely affected the crop growth rate and dry matter accumulation. Significant linear relationships of dry matter yield with IPAR, plant population densities, LAI and CGR clearly indicate the interdependence of these characters.     

不同模式下春玉米物质生产与群体光合性能研究

为构建高产春玉米良好的群体结构,提高春玉米光能利用率,充分发挥春玉米的增产潜力,在大田试验条件下,从玉米品种、密度和肥料管理方面研究了3种模式（农户模式、优化模式、高产模式）对春玉米物质生产与群体光合生理指标的影响。结果表明：优化模式和高产模式较农户模式分别增产10.79%、27.62%,秃尖长度显著减少。3种模式的叶面积指数(LAI),群体光合势(LAD),干物质累积(DMA)以及生长率(CGR)规律依次为高产模式>优化模式>传统模式。由此证明,优化品种、合理增密以及加强养分资源管理是春玉米获得高产的关键措施。     

超高产常规粳稻宁粳1号和宁粳3号群体特征及对氮的响应

2007—2008年对宁粳1号和宁粳3号的丰产示范方进行调查,2008年以宁粳3号为材料进行氮肥用量和前后比例试验,研究常规粳型超级稻超高产群体特征及对氮的响应。结果表明,常规粳型超级稻宁粳1号和宁粳3号抽穗后干物质积累占籽粒产量的70%~80%,茎叶等营养器官的表观转运率少,易高产稳产。足够的颖花量是高产稳产的保证,要达到11.0 t hm^-2以上的产量,颖花数要 ≥ 42 000 m^-2;要达到11.7 t hm^-2以上的产量,颖花数要 ≥ 45 000 m^-2,同时结实率 ≥ 90%,粒重 ≥ 26 mg。超高产群体抽穗期适宜叶面积指数(LAI)为7.0~7.5,叶色呈“黑黄”节奏变化,后期生长速率(CGR)高,收获指数(HI)≥ 0.5。氮肥的适量施用和适当后移,不仅可以保证宁粳1号和宁粳3号生育期“黑黄”节奏变化,建立抽穗期适宜LAI的群体,还可以保持超高产株型特征,提高抽穗后LAI、叶面积维持期、CGR和HI,最终实现超高产量。     

不同水稻氮利用效率基因型的物质生产与积累特性

选用氮素利用高效型和低效型具有代表性的12个粳稻品种，研究225 kg hm^-2施氮条件下各基因型水稻物质生产与积累特性及其与氮利用效率的相互关系。结果表明，不同氮效率类型水稻群体茎蘖数没有鲜明的特征差异，但氮高效类型水稻的茎蘖成穗率极显著高于氮低效类型。氮高效类型水稻物质生产与积累具有“前稳、中小、后高”的特性，即在有效分蘖临界叶龄期前具有适宜的叶面积、光合势和群体生长速率，物质积累具一定优势，但其占全生育期总积累量的比例较少；有效分蘖临界叶龄至拔节阶段，无效分蘖发生少，叶面积指数、光合势、群体生长速率低，物质积累也不具优势；拔节以后，具有良好的群体质量，叶面积增长较快，群体光合势和生长速率加大，物质积累优势较为明显。不同氮效率类型水稻物质生产与积累的特性不仅可以解释水稻氮素利用的品种间差异，同时也为生产上提高水稻氮利用效率提供了可行的调控途径。     

两个超级杂交水稻品种物质生产的特性

定量分析超级杂交水稻若干群体指标的动态特征,以期为其高产栽培提供依据。于2011年和2012年在大田条件下,以超级杂交水稻准两优527、Q优6号和对照品种II优838为试材,通过连续测定干物质和叶面积,建立了水稻群体干物质和相对叶面积指数动态模型,进而以群体干物质和相对叶面积指数模型为基础,分析了超级杂交水稻作物生长率、相对生长率、光合势、净同化率、叶面积比率动态变化特征。结果表明,超级杂交水稻快增期的干物质积累量及其占总生物量的比例均高于对照。作物生长率(CGR)随移栽后时间呈先升高后下降的单峰曲线变化,其快增期的CGR较大。与对照相比,超级杂交水稻相对生长率(RGR)表现出上升快、峰值大、下降快的特点。准两优527在移栽后23 d至成熟期高于对照,Q优6号的RGR在移栽后43 d以前低于对照,移栽后43 d至113 d高于对照,两者在移栽后113 d至成熟期的RGR相差不大。不同水稻净同化率(NAR)随移栽后时间呈先上升后下降的单峰曲线变化,最大NAR出现在移栽后43~53 d。总光合势与快增期光合势及与快增期绿叶面积持续时间均呈极显著正相关。2个超级杂交水稻叶面积比率(LAR)在移栽后23 d至43 d迅速下降,移栽后43 d至73 d缓慢下降,移栽后73 d至成熟期快速下降,其快增期的LAR较大。     

Growth Analysis in Relation to Pigeonpea Improvement

An attempt was made to assess possible constraints to higher production, with respect to partitioning of total dry matter to reproductive sinks in early pigeonpea. Growth, dry matter accumulation and yield components were determined in four diverse genotypes under four dates of sowing and different plant densities. Data on growth characteristics, dry matter accumulation (vegetative and reproductive) were obtained for three sowings, while the data on yield components were obtained for two dates of sowing. Growth analysis showed that the total dry matter was low upto 30 days after sowing and increased linearly upto 120 days. Coversely, LAD was high for the first 30 days and reduced at later stages of growth. The mean LAI of genotypes did not very much at initial stage of growth. However, it has given interesting picture during 70 to 90 days of growth. The higher biological yield and seed yield were attributable to high LAI and LAD coupled with thick stem, more effective branches, more pods per plant and larger raceme length. Harvest index was the maximum with increased plant populations in all sowings. Indeterminate varieties under high plant density and narrow row spacing (50 cm) developed a large leaf area and were presumably able to make better use of light. Growth and branching of individual plants were reduced at the higher plant population, but on per unit basis more dry matter was produced. It is suggested that breeding should be concentrated to improve an inability to accumulate adequate vegetative dry matter for the maintenance and filling of pods, may force the plant to continue vegetative production into the reproductive dry matter to support production of ultimate seed yield.     

作物高产群体LAI动态模拟模型的建立与检验

针对目前已有群体叶面积指数（LAI）模拟模型形式多样、参数较多以及应用性不强等问题,对春玉米、水稻和冬小麦的LAI及出苗至成熟天数进行归一化处理,分别将最大LAI和出苗至成熟天数定为1,以相对LAI (0~1)和相对时间(0~1)为参数进行LAI动态模拟,筛选、建立了一个适用于这3种作物的相对化LAI动态模拟模型y= (a+bx) / (1+cx+dx²)。其中,春玉米y= (0.0134+0.3234x) / (1－2.774x+2.4178x²),r=0.9859**;水稻y= (0.0777+0.0205x) / (1－2.73744x+2.0484x²),r=0.9865**;冬小麦y= (0.0131+0.0035x) / (1－2.4515x+1.5273x²),r=0.9719**。利用该模型,自拔节期起就能够较准确地进行LAI的动态预测,其在春玉米、水稻和冬小麦上的准确度（以k表示）分别为1.050、1.0357和1.1168,精确度（以R²表示）分别为0.8728、0.9270和0.9254。3种作物整个生育期内模型的模拟值与测量值的精确度均在0.98以上,准确度达0.86以上,表明相对化LAI动态模型能够准确地反映作物群体动态变化。不仅可以计算出作物生育期间的平均LAI、总光合势,还能计算任一时刻的LAI以及任一时段的光合势。结合田间调查还可得到作物生长期间的平均净同化率和平均作物生长率等产量相关的重要生理参数。根据作物群体中各光合生理参数与产量的关系,提出了3种作物进一步增产的可能途径。     

综合农艺管理对夏玉米叶片生长发育及内源激素含量的影响

叶片可直接反映玉米植株的营养状况,是光合作用的主要场所,与干物质积累和产量形成密切相关。本研究以郑单958 (ZD958)为试验材料,以T1代表农民习惯处理; T2代表在T1的基础上,增加种植密度,推迟收获,降低施肥量,并优化施肥时期; T3代表在T2的基础上进一步增加种植密度和施肥量; T4代表在T3的基础上,降低种植密度和施肥量;N代表施氮量处理,设N0、N1、N2和N3分别为0、129.0、184.5和300.0kgNhm~(–2),研究综合农艺管理对夏玉米叶片生长及内源激素的调控作用。综合农艺管理措施包括优化耕作方式、种植密度、施肥量、施肥时期和收获时间等。结果表明,施氮量不足导致IAA、ZR和GA_3含量降低, ABA含量升高,叶片SPAD值、叶面积指数(LAI)及比叶重均显著降低;随施氮量的增加,叶片IAA、ZR和GA_3含量增加,ABA含量降低,LAI、SPAD和干物质积累量均显著增加。综合农艺管理处理可调节叶片内源激素含量,其中T4处理IAA、ZR和GA_3含量较T1处理分别高23.1%、9.8%和14.7%;ABA含量降低12.4%;叶片LAI适宜, SPAD值增加4.2%,最终单株干物质积累量增加12.6%。综合农艺管理在降低施氮量,配合最佳的农艺管理方式下,可调节内源激素含量,增加叶片SPAD和比叶重,有利于单株干物质积累,这可能是促进夏玉米产量增加的重要原因之一。     

干旱区滴灌模式和种植密度对棉花生长和产量性能的影响

以高产棉花品种新陆早45为材料,自初花至吐絮设置常规滴灌(I500)和有限滴灌(I425) 2种处理,每种滴灌模式下设低(D12)、中(D24)和高(D36)3个种植密度,分析棉花不同生育时期叶面积指数(LAI)、群体生长率(CGR)、棉铃生长率(BGR)、净同化率(NAR)以及产量、灌溉水分利用效率(IWUE)等变化。结果表明,与I500相比,I425将LAI到达顶峰的时间推迟至盛铃期并延缓了盛铃期以后的叶片衰老,显著提高了盛花期至吐絮期NAR,在不显著降低籽棉产量的前提下,提高了IWUE。在I500条件下,LAI、CGR、BGR、NAR、总生物量(TDW)、铃生物量(BDW)、总铃数(BN)、生殖器官与营养器官质量的比例(RVR)均以D24较高,D12最低;I425条件下,上述参数均以D36最高。籽棉产量以I500D24、I425D36较高,IWUE则以I425D36较高。相关分析表明,籽棉产量和IWUE与BN、RVR呈显著正相关,IWUE与NAR呈显著正相关。表明盛花期至盛铃期较快的群体生长速率、较强的物质生产能力以及较多的干物质持续向棉铃的供应,是I425D36提高产量的重要原因。     

新疆石河子棉区高密条件下冠层结构和光分布特征

对新疆石河子5个棉花主栽品种全生育期的干物质积累、生长参数、产量和盛铃期的冠层结构、光渗透能力和光分布等进行了测量分析。结果表明,作物生长速率、铃生长率以及子棉产量等均与总受光量呈正相关关系,净同化率则与单位叶面积受光量呈正相关关系,说明受光量是决定干物质生产和产量的重要因素;单位叶面积受光量即光的渗透能力与单位土地面积总受光量呈正相关关系、而与LAI呈负相关关系,说明冠层结构也是影响冠层受光量的主要因素;总受光量与LAI呈显著的正相关关系,说明LAI最大值并未达到最适宜水平。新疆地区棉花高产棉田的主要特征可以总结为叶数少、叶片大、冠层结构为椭圆形。由于叶面积指数尚未达到最适宜水平,增加种植密度可能是提高产量的一个途径。     

北京地区高产小麦品种的冠层形成、光截获和产量

北京地区的小麦在平均亩产突破300公斤之后,要继续高产稳产,极需进一步地改善品种的产量潜力。本研究将叶面积指数(LAI)、光截获(LI)、光衰减系数(?)、叶面积持续时间(LAD)、干物质积累(DMA)、作物生长速度(CGR)等性状与冠层形成联系起来,研究它们与产量的关系。几年来,通过7个高产品种的14个冠层参数对籽粒产量的相关、通径     

南方粳型超级稻物质生产积累及超高产特征的研究

以超级粳稻品种武粳15、淮稻9号、徐稻3号和常优1号为材料,对高产(8.25~9.75 t hm^-2)、更高产(9.75~11.25 t hm^-2)和超高产(＞11.25 t hm^-2) 3个产量等级群体的物质生产与产量的关系、干物质积累、输出与转运等方面进行了系统的比较研究。结果表明,4个超级稻品种成熟期、抽穗至成熟期的干物质重与产量呈极显著正相关,抽穗期干物质重均与产量呈抛物线关系,拔节至抽穗期的干物质重与产量呈极显著正相关(高产—更高产、更高产—超高产以及将3个产量等级综合起来);从高产到更高产再到超高产,4个超级稻品种的生物学产量不断提高(差异显著),而超高产群体的经济系数则与更高产水平相当(0.5000以上),显著高于高产水平;较之更高产、高产群体,超高产群体在生育中期(拔节至抽穗期)干物质积累量大,抽穗期叶面积指数高、株型挺拔、群体质量优[有效叶面积率、高效叶面积率、总颖花量与颖花/叶(cm²)、基部节间粗、单茎茎鞘重均高],在生育后期(抽穗至成熟期),光合能力强(叶面积衰减率小,光合势、群体生长率、净同化率高)、干物质积累量高(占生物学产量的40.0%以上)、茎鞘物质的输出与转运协调[实粒/叶(cm²)、粒重(mg)/叶(cm²)均高]。     

Productivity of Rainfed Sorghum — A Physiological Analysis

A field experiment was conducted to study the varietal variability of productivity in sorghum under rainfed conditions. Six varieties viz., TNS 24, TNS 27, CO 20, CO 19, CO 24 and K3 were utilized in this study. Among these varieties TNS 24, CO 19 and TNS 27 were found to be tolerant to drought situations while K 3, CO 20 and CO 24 were susceptible. The classification was mainly based on the yield data. Highest leaf area was observed in tolerant varieties, The reduction in leaf area at the harvest stage was also minimal (6.8%) in the tolerant varieties. LAD and CGR also showed higher values in the tolerant varieties. The dry matter accumulation was higher in the tolerant varieties. The yield improvement in the tolerant genotypes is mainly due to the increased dry matter accumulation while harvest index is not related to yield in the varieties studied.
