山地不同树龄枣园土壤水分状况研究

为研究黄土高原梨枣林地土壤水分状况,利用TRIME管和洛阳铲对灌溉及雨养两种条件下不同种植年限(1 a、4 a、9 a、12 a)的梨枣林0~160 cm、0~700 cm范围深度内土壤水分状况进行监测研究。研究结果显示:随着树龄增长梨枣林地土壤水分储量下降;灌溉梨枣林与雨养梨枣林相比,其主根系层0~160 cm土壤水分储量较高;现有灌溉定额条件下,灌溉梨枣林地根区平均土壤水分满足度仍然相对较低;旱作梨枣林随树龄增大,土壤干层的分布深度和土壤干燥化强度趋于增加。     

Effect of pea canopy architecture on microclimate and consequences on ascochyta blight infection under field conditions

In order to investigate the impact of pea canopy architecture and development on microclimate and infection by Mycosphaerella pinodes, two field experiments were conducted in 2009 and 2010 at Le Rheu (France) to obtain canopies contrasted in height, closure dynamic, leaf area index (LAI) and leaf area density (LAD). Three pea cultivars (Athos, Antares, Gregor) were sown at two (80 and 40 seeds/m² in 2009) and three densities (80, 40 and 30 seeds/m² in 2010) and microclimatic sensors were located inside the canopy (at the bottom and in the middle) and outside. Two main sources of wetness were identified: rainfall and dew. During rainfall periods, average daily leaf wetness duration (LWD) was about 15 h, and 3 to 10 h longer inside than outside the canopies. LWD was positively correlated with LAI until canopy closure during these periods. During dry periods when dew was the only source of leaf wetness, average daily LWD was short, decreasing as the canopy developed. Shorter LWDs were observed at the base than at the mid-level of the canopies and longer LWDs were observed outside the canopy and inside the less dense canopies irrespective of the cultivar. LWD was negatively correlated with canopy height and LAI during these periods. Slow wind speeds were recorded inside the canopies (less than 0.5 km/h) and no significant canopy effect was observed on air temperature. An infection model was developed and showed that only rainfall periods which induced long LWDs inside the canopy, were favourable to M. pinodes infection under our climatic conditions and suggested a more favourable microclimate inside dense canopies.     

Yield loss of sweet corn cultivars in response to defoliation and to infection byexserohilum turcicum

The effect of northern leaf blight (NLB) or leaf defoliation on the yield of nine sweet corn cultivars was studied in field experiments. Plants were defoliated or infected in the bottom, middle or top third of the leaf canopy. The effect of defoliation or infection on yield was significantly higher for plants treated 55 days after planting than for those treated 70 days after planting. Cultivar response differed significantly for both treatments, the most sensitive cultivar being ‘Jubilee’ and the least sensitive being Ssupersweet 7900. In all cases, the highest yield loss was recorded when the middle third of the leaf canopy was treated. The relative importance of the top third of the leaf canopy increased if the treatment was done 3 weeks before harvesting. This study emphasized the importance of leaf position, cultivar, and plant growth stage for evaluating losses caused by NLB, and may explain the failure of various models to describe yield loss due to NLB.     

岷江上游干旱河谷区坡面尺度土壤贮水特性研究

研究干旱河谷区土壤层的蓄水特性,以期揭示该区不同海拔梯度上土壤水分的时空格局及其供水机理。本文对理县干旱河谷区典型阳坡的土壤水分状况进行了定位监测。结果表明:海拔1450m、1650m、1850m和2050m的0~50cm土层的年平均贮水量分别为54.04mm、42.8mm、56.38mm和66.22mm,表明了在典型阳坡上部土壤水分贮量最大,下坡位次之,水分条件最差的地带出现在中坡。土壤层贮水量在剖面上的垂直变化规律为30~50cm土层>10~30cm土层>0~10cm土层,底层贮水量最大,表层贮水量低且稳定。在典型阳坡不同海拔梯度上,土壤层贮水量季节分布极不平衡,贮水量变化过程与降雨量季节变化不一致,贮水量变化明显滞后于降雨过程,滞后期为1个月。     

Variation in soil water content to rainfall under Caragana microphylla shrub in Horqin Sandy Land

In order to investigate the spatio-temporal variability of soil water content to rainfall under Caragana microphylla shrub in Horqin Sandy Land,a plot of 25 m × 25 m,where there were 6 shrub canopies of C. microphylla,was sited for measuring soil water content at two soil layers of 0-20 cm (top layer) and 20-40 cm (lower layer). Soil water content was measured on the 1st,5th,10th and 15th day after a 42 mm rainfall in Naiman of Inner Mongolia. The results showed that soil water contents at both layers under C. microphylla shrub were gradually decreased after the rain. Soil water content at the top layer outside the shrub canopy was higher than that inside the shrub canopy within 5 days,and became similar inside and outside the shrub canopy on the 10th day after the 42 mm rainfall,and it was lower outside than that inside the shrub canopy on the 15th day. The soil water content at lower layer in the area without shrubs was higher than that under shrub canopy all along. All the measured values of soil water content can be fitted to a variogram model. There was significant autocorrelation of the values of soil water content between top layer and lower layer,except for the fourth measured values of soil water content at top layer. The range and spatial dependence of soil water content at top layer were lower than that at lower layer.     

避雨栽培对葡萄霜霉病发生的影响与葡萄冠层微气象因子的关系

系统比较了云南省石林县(‘红地球’)和弥勒县(‘水晶葡萄’)葡萄园采用避雨栽培和露天栽培对葡萄霜霉病Plasmoparaviticola(Berk.Curtis)Berl.de Toni.的防治效果,监测了田间葡萄园内避雨栽培和露天栽培处理中葡萄霜霉病的发生流行与植株冠层气象因子的变化情况,并结合适宜葡萄霜霉病病害循环的温度、相对湿度、叶面持露时间及田间葡萄植株冠层微气象因子的变化对避雨栽培有效防治葡萄霜霉病的气象原理进行了分析。结果表明,避雨处理可有效控制葡萄霜霉病的发生和危害,石林县和弥勒县两地葡萄园的防治效果分别达到97.84%和66.29%。弥勒县‘水晶葡萄’对霜霉病的抗性较强,霜霉病发生较轻,但在避雨栽培条件下霜霉病的病情指数也显著低于对照。植株冠层微气象因子变化分析表明,避雨栽培可以减少决定霜霉病菌能否成功侵染的叶面水膜持续时间,创造不适宜霜霉病菌萌发和侵入的条件,还可以显著减低棚内植株冠层适宜孢子囊产生的相对湿度的持续时间,减少霜霉病菌的侵染菌量,从而有效地控制了霜霉病的发生和危害。     

六种杀虫剂在保护地黄瓜冠层的沉积分布及其对蚜虫防治效果的影响

为明确不同药剂在保护地黄瓜上的沉积分布及其对蚜虫防治效果的影响,利用农药雾滴采集装置收集农药雾滴,以诱惑红为示踪剂测定农药沉积量,通过DepositScan软件测定雾滴覆盖率,分析药剂在黄瓜冠层的沉积分布与其对蚜虫防效的关系。结果表明:阿维菌素、螺虫乙酯、吡虫啉、吡丙醚、噻虫嗪和啶虫脒6种药剂的沉积量与雾滴覆盖率之间均无显著差异,分布趋势均表现为顶部>中部>底部;药后1 d和3 d,不同药剂对同一冠层部位以及同一药剂对不同冠层部位黄瓜蚜虫的校正防效之间均无显著差异,且防效均达65%以上。背负式手动喷雾器按田间推荐剂量喷雾防治黄瓜蚜虫时,喷雾雾滴主要沉积在黄瓜冠层顶部,沉积量占到总沉积量的1/3以上,在冠层中部和底部的沉积量相对较少,但沉积到冠层中部和底部的农药剂量仍能发挥良好的防治效果。该研究结果可为合理使用农药防治黄瓜蚜虫提供科学依据。     

黄土丘陵区雨养梨枣树生长对初始土壤含水率的响应

以6年生矮化密植梨枣树(Ziziphus jujuba Mill.)为试材,在雨养条件下,设置4种不同初始土壤体积含水率水平(1区,15.17%;2区,14.33%;3区,11.34%;4区,8.61%),测定并分析土壤水分变化、枣树生长、枣树耗水及其产量。结果表明:在雨养条件下,随着时间的推进,4个小区的土壤体积含水率不断接近,由最初的有显著差异变为没有显著差异;梨枣林地在低土壤水分情况下,可以通过自然降雨修复干层;4个小区的生物量和产量都是随着初始土壤含水率的减小在减小,且小区之间产量差异显著;4种初始土壤水分条件下,4个小区获得的产量分别为21 744.9、18 648.0、12 354.3 kg·hm~(-2)和6 660.0 kg·hm~(-2),说明即使在初始土壤水分亏缺情况下,在平水年也可以得到一定的产量;高度为0.9~1.2 m,冠幅为0.5~0.9 m的梨枣树,产量却达到最高21 744.9 kg·hm~(-2),说明梨枣获得高产不需要高大的树体,所以矮化密植具有很大潜力。     

The role of rain in dispersal of the primary inoculum of Plasmopara viticola

Although primary infection of grapevines by Plasmopara viticola requires splash dispersal of inoculum from soil to leaves, little is known about the role of rain in primary inoculum dispersal. Distribution of rain splashes from soil to grapevine canopy was evaluated over 20 rain periods (0.2 to 64.2 mm of rain) with splash samplers placed within the canopy. Samplers at 40, 80, and 140 cm above the soil caught 4.4, 0.03, and 0.003 drops/cm(2) of sampler area, respectively. Drops caught at 40 and 80 cm (1.5 cm in diameter) were larger than drops at 140 cm (1.3 cm). Leaf coverage by splashed drops, total drop number, and drop size increased with an increase in the maximum intensity of rain (mm/h) during any rain period. Any rainfall led to infection in potted grapevines placed outside on leaf litter containing oospores, if the litter contained germinated oospores at the time of rain; infection severity was unrelated to rain amount or intensity. Results from vineyards also indicate that any rain can carry P. viticola inoculum from soil to leaves and should be considered a splash event in disease prediction systems. Sampling for early disease detection should focus on the lower canopy, where the probability of splash impact is greatest.     

旱作雨养土壤水库储水模式对烤烟品质及产量的影响

运用旱作雨养土壤水库储水模式的田间试验方法,研究了其对烤烟农艺性状、物理性状、化学成分以及产量和产值的影响。结果表明,旱作雨养土壤储水模式(T)处理下的烤烟农艺性状综合表现优于一般大田种植模式(CK),烤烟田间长势均匀,茎杆粗壮;烟叶单叶重和叶质重在两处理间达到显著差异,T处理烤烟各部位烟叶单叶重和叶质重均高于CK,中部叶的单叶重和叶质重分别达22.90 g和76.67 g·m~(-2);T处理上部烟叶的填充值和含梗率为3.64 cm~3·g~(-1)和26.29%,显著低于CK处理,而中上部烟叶平衡含水率表现为TCK,且差异显著;T处理能够改善烟叶化学成分,其中能够显著提高不同部位烟叶钾含量和钾氯比,其均值达2.74%、6.89,同时较CK显著降低了总氮、烟碱和氯含量;同时旱作雨养土壤储水模式能够提高烟叶的产量产值,烟叶的产量为2 156.7 kg·hm~(-2),显著高于CK。     

不同湿润持续时间及叶片温度对温室黄瓜霜霉病发生的影响

为探明不同湿润持续时间及叶片温度与黄瓜霜霉病发生的关系,通过观察不同湿润条件下黄瓜霜霉病的初显症时间,计算逐日显症率及累积显症率,并利用热红外成像仪对显症后叶片温度进行连续监测。结果显示,不同湿润持续时间对黄瓜霜霉病的初显症时间、逐日显症率产生影响。叶片湿润持续4 h,黄瓜霜霉病在接种后7.00 d显症;叶片湿润持续12 h,黄瓜霜霉病初显症时间最早,仅为3.25 d。叶片湿润持续时间不同,黄瓜霜霉病初显症时的叶片温度存在显著差异。回归分析表明,初显症时间与最大温差呈显著正相关,与平均温度呈显著负相关。叶片湿润持续4、6 h的病斑出现高峰在显症后第2、3天,逐日显症率分别是37.50%和41.18%,比叶片湿润持续10、12 h的早。显症后期,湿润持续时间4、6、8、10、12 h的病斑累积显症率分别是87.94%、93.71%、90.25%、84.24%和88.36%,差异不显著。表明接种黄瓜霜霉菌Pseudoperonospora cubensis后叶片湿润持续时间越长,潜育期越短,叶片最大温差越小,叶片平均温度越大。     

施氮量对棉花叶位SPAD值的影响及棉花氮素营养诊断

在不同施氮量和不同质地土壤条件下,研究了氮素水平对棉花叶片含氮量和叶绿素含量的影响。研究表明,棉花不同生育时期叶片含氮量不同,苗期、蕾期、花铃期、铃期叶片含氮量分别为28.1、27.4、32.2、30.9 g·kg^-1。在各时期不同处理的叶片含氮量,均表现出相同的规律,即随施氮水平的提高,棉花叶片含氮量增加。土壤质地不同（砂壤土、粘壤土）时,高、中、低产棉田棉花叶片含氮量存在差异;随着施氮量的提高,棉花叶片含氮量随之提高,同时棉花不同叶位间的含氮量更加接近。对叶绿素的分析表明,不同施氮水平下,叶绿素含量差异显著;相同施氮水平下,不同叶位叶片SPAD值差异显著;施氮量增加能够提高棉花叶片的SPAD值,同时减小棉花不同叶位间SPAD差值的大小。初花期和花铃期顶1叶的叶位差指数PDI与棉花叶片含氮量的相关性最高,可以用叶位差指数作为衡量棉花氮素状况的指标。     

Pathogenicity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Mycochaetophora gentianae</Emphasis>, causal fungus of gentian brown leaf spot,as affected by host species,inoculum density,temperature, leaf wetness duration,and leaf position

When the influence of host species, inoculum density, temperature, leaf wetness duration, and leaf position on the incidence of gentian brown leaf spot caused by Mycochaetophora gentianae, was examined, the fungus severely infected all seven Gentiana triflora cultivars, but failed to infect two cultivars of G. scabra and an interspecific hybrid cultivar. Inoculum density correlated closely with disease incidence, and a minimum of 10² conidia/mL was enough to cause infection. In an analysis of variance, temperature and leaf wetness duration had a significant effect upon disease incidence, which increased with higher temperature (15–25°C) and longer duration of leaf wetness (36–72 h). No disease developed at temperatures lower than 10°C or when leaf wetness lasted <24 h. At 48-h leaf wetness, disease incidence was 0, 28, 77, and 85% at 10, 15, 20, and 25°C, respectively. Middle and lower leaves on the plant were more susceptible than upper leaves. In microscopic observations of inoculated leaves, >50% of conidia germinated at temperatures >15°C after 24-h leaf wetness. More appressoria formed at higher temperatures (15–25°C) with extended duration of leaf wetness (24–72 h). At 48-h leaf wetness, appressorium formation was 0, 8, 26, and 73% at 10, 15, 20, and 25°C, respectively. These results suggest that temperature and leaf wetness duration were important factors for infection of gentian leaves.     

A temperature and leaf wetness duration-based model for prediction of gray leaf spot of perennial ryegrass turf

ABSTRACT Gray leaf spot is a serious disease of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), causing severe epidemics in golf course fairways. The effects of temperature and leaf wetness duration on the development of gray leaf spot of perennial ryegrass turf were evaluated in controlled environment chambers. Six-week-old Legacy II ryegrass plants were inoculated with an aqueous conidial suspension of Pyricularia grisea (approximately 8 x 10(4) conidia per ml of water) and subjected to four different temperatures (20, 24, 28, and 32 degrees C) and 12 leaf wetness durations (3 to 36 h at 3-h intervals). Three days after inoculation, gray leaf spot developed on plants at all temperatures and leaf wetness durations. Disease incidence (percent leaf blades symptomatic) and severity (index 0 to 10; 0 = leaf blades asymptomatic, 10 = >90% leaf area necrotic) were assessed 7 days after inoculation. There were significant effects ( alpha = 0.0001) of temperature and leaf wetness duration on disease incidence and severity, and there were significant interactions ( alpha = 0.0001) between them. Among the four temperatures tested, 28 degrees C was most favorable to gray leaf spot development. Disease incidence and severity increased with increased leaf wetness duration at all temperatures. A shorter leaf wetness duration was required for disease development under warmer temperatures. Analysis of variance with orthogonal polynomial contrasts and regression analyses were used to determine the functional relationships among temperature and leaf wetness duration and gray leaf spot incidence and severity. Significant effects were included in a regression model that described the relationship. The polynomial model included linear, quadratic, and cubic terms for temperature and leaf wetness duration effects. The adjusted coefficients of determination for the fitted model for disease incidence and severity were 0.84 and 0.87, respectively. The predictive model may be used as part of an integrated gray leaf spot forecasting system for perennial ryegrass turf.     

黄土区坡沟系统容重、饱和导水率和土壤含水量变化分析

切沟是黄土高原侵蚀沟的重要类型之一,对流域水文、植被、地貌和生态等地表过程具有深刻影响。为明确土壤物理参数对切沟地形、坡位和深度的响应,在陕北黄土高原选择典型切沟,根据其走向设置沟道、沟缘及坡面3条样线,对40个样点按照10 cm深度间隔采集0~30 cm各土层原状土样,利用定水头法和烘干法对土壤容重、饱和导水率和土壤含水量进行测定并分析。结果表明:(1)地形对容重、饱和导水率和土壤含水量具有显著或极显著影响,3个参数随坡位自下而上均呈波浪式变化趋势;沟缘和坡面位置容重随坡位上升总体呈微弱减小趋势,沟缘表层坡下土壤含水量较其他坡位明显偏低;(2)沟缘和坡面位置不同土层深度饱和导水率及容重的大小变化规律与沟道恰好相反;(3)对于各土层深度而言,沟缘和坡面土壤含水量均与沟道内差异显著,且沟缘土壤含水量总是低于坡面。以上结果表明,切沟分布改变了土壤容重、饱和导水率和土壤含水量在坡面的空间格局,在黄土区坡沟系统内不同地形条件对相关土壤物理参数的影响不应忽视。     

Dew measurement and estimation of rain-fed jujube (Zizyphus jujube Mill) in a semi-arid loess hilly region of China

Dew is an important water source for plants in arid and semi-arid regions. However, information on dew is scarce in such regions. In this study, we explored dew formation, amount, and duration of rain-fed jujube(Zizyphus jujube Mill) trees in a semi-arid loess hilly region of China(i.e., Mizhi County). The data included dew intensity and duration, relative humidity, temperature, and wind speed measured from 26 July to 23 October, 2012 and from 24 June to 17 October, 2013 using a micro-climate system(including dielectric leaf wetness sensors, VP-3 Relative Humidity/Temperature Sensor, High Resolution Rain Gauge, and Davis Cup Anemometer). The results show that atmospheric conditions of relative humidity of 78% and dew point temperature of 1°C–3°C are significantly favorable to dew formation. Compared with the rainfall, dew was characterized by high frequency, strong stability, and long duration. Furthermore, heavy dew accounted for a large proportion of the total amount. The empirical models(i.e., relative humidity model(RH model) and dew point depression model(DPD model)) for daily dew duration estimation performed well at 15-min intervals, with low errors ranging between 1.29 and 1.60 h, respectively. But it should be noted that the models should be calibrated firstly by determining the optimal thresholds of relatively humidity for RH model and dew point depression for DPD model. For rain-fed jujube trees in the semi-arid loess hilly regions of China, the optimal threshold of relative humidity was 78%, and the optimal upper and lower thresholds of dew point depression were 1°C and 5°C, respectively. The study further demonstrates that dew is an important water resource that cannot be ignored for rain-fed jujube trees and may affect water balance at regional scales.     

Root growth and spatio-temporal distribution of three common annual halophytes in a saline desert, northern Xinjiang

Root growth and spatial and temporal distribution in the 0-100 cm soil profiles of three common annual halophytes Salsola subcrassa, Suaeda acuminate and Petrosimonia sibirica distributed in a saline desert in northern Xinjiang, China were studied in 2009 and 2010. The results showed that the root systems of the three halophytes were of the taproot type, vertically distributed in the 90-cm soil profile, and were deepest in late July. Their taproots reached maximum depth rapidly, early in the growth period, but with rare lateral roots. They were then dug out in an orderly way, from bottom to top, exhibiting vertical development first and then horizontal development. The distribution of specific root length, which reflects the characteristics of the feeder root, was gradually increased from top to bottom, whereas root weight displayed an opposite distribution pattern. The root length distribution of the three halophytes was concentrated (62% to 76%) in the middle soil profile (20-60 cm), with less distribution in the surface (0-20 cm) and bottom (60-90 cm) soil profiles. The results indicated that the roots of the three annual halophytes grew rapidly into the deeper soil layer after germination, which ensured the plant survival and uptake of water and nutrition, and thus built up a strong tolerance to an arid, high-salt environment.     

Effect of temperature and leaf wetness duration on infection of sweet oranges by Asiatic citrus canker

Asiatic citrus canker, caused by Xanthomonas smithii ssp. citri , formerly X. axonopodis pv. citri , is one of the most serious phytosanitary problems in Brazilian citrus crops. Experiments were conducted under controlled conditions to assess the influence of temperature and leaf wetness duration on infection and subsequent symptom development of citrus canker in sweet orange cvs Hamlin, Natal, Pera and Valencia. The quantified variables were incubation period, disease incidence, disease severity, mean lesion density and mean lesion size at temperatures of 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 42°C, and leaf wetness durations of 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h. Symptoms did not develop at 42°C. A generalized beta function showed a good fit to the temperature data, severity being highest in the range 30–35°C. The relationship between citrus canker severity and leaf wetness duration was explained by a monomolecular model, with the greatest severity occurring at 24 h of leaf wetness, with 4 h of wetness being the minimum duration sufficient to cause 100% incidence at optimal temperatures of 25–35°C. Mean lesion density behaved similarly to disease severity in relation to temperature variation and leaf wetness duration. A combined monomolecular-beta generalized model fitted disease severity, mean lesion density or lesion size as a function of both temperature and duration of leaf wetness. The estimated minimum and maximum temperatures for the occurrence of disease were 12°C and 40°C, respectively.     

Effects of shrub species and microhabitats on dew formation in a revegetation-stabilized desert ecosystem in Shapotou,northern China

Dew is an important supplement water source in arid and semi-arid areas. In order to determine the dew formation on different kinds of soils associated with various shrub species and microhabitats, we performed measurement of accumulated dew formation amount and duration in October 2009 in a revegetation-stabilized arid desert ecosystem in Shapotou area, northern China. The results indicated that the accumulated dew formation amount was four times larger at open spaces as compared to under the canopy, and it was nearly twice as much under living Artemisia ordosica plants（L.A.） as compared to under living Caragana korshinskii plants（L.C.）. The opposite characteristics were found for dew duration between different microhabitats. Dew amounts at different vertical heights around the shrub stands were in the order of 50 cm above the canopy〉the canopy edge〉under the canopy. Dew amount continued to increase after dawn, and the proportion of average accumulated dew amount after dawn accounting for the average maximum amount increased from above the canopy to under the canopy. Dew formation duration after sunrise accounted for more than 50% of the total formation duration during the day time. Contrary to the distribution characteristics of dew amount, dew duration after dawn and total dew formation duration during the day time were both highest under the canopy, followed by at the canopy edge and then at 50 cm above the canopy. The portion of dew duration after dawn accounting for the total dew duration during the day time increased from above the canopy to under the canopy. From these results, we may conclude that dew availability as a supplemental water resource for improving the microhabitats in water-limited arid ecosystems is position dependent especially for the plant microhabitats at different stands layers.
