Analysis of the Impact of Alfalfa Forage Production under Summer Water-Limiting Circumstances on Productivity, Agricultural and Growers Returns and Plant Stand

The trade-off between summer water conservation from alfalfa production and the effects on plant growth, agricultural crop value, and grower returns in the low desert area (Imperial, Palo Verde, Parker and Yuma Valleys of California and Arizona) was analysed using an experimental plot in the Palo Verde Valley. The purpose was to provide a basis for evaluating water conservation decisions and policies. Four summer dry-down periods (withdrawing water for a predetermined period) of 0 days (control), 35 days, 70 days, and 105 days were analysed. Our results show that whereas the various dry-down periods would provide water conservation ranging from 254 to 944 million m³, the region would experience agricultural income decline by US $16 to US $73 million. For growers, benefits of dry-down would be effective only if the water price exceeds US $0.045 m⁻³ in California and US $0.036 m⁻³ in Arizona. Also dry-down would have possible adverse effects in the following areas including declines in plant stand density, long-term productivity, service industry sales, employment and biological benefits of soil fertility and organic matter that is attributed by the alfalfa plant in which case agriculture's and growers monetary losses could increase.     

Dynamics of the Cumulation of Macroelements – Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium During Development to Maturity of Soybean Seed

Dynamics of the cumulation of phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium in developing seed of four soybean genotypes under the defined climatic conditions in the course of three years was observed. Samples were being taken at weekly intervals from the point at which the grain reached a size suitable to be analyzed up to the full maturity of the seed. By analyzing the results it was found out that the intense cumulation of the minerals tested took place during the stages III and IV of the seed development, that is, in the course of intense cumulation of dry matter and the most expressive metabolic activity in the seed. Investigation of the impact of climatic conditions provides evidence that cumulation of the tested macroelements has been favourably influenced by increased precipitation along with moderate air temperatures within the seed developing period. The highest content of the minerals found with the cultivar Maksimirka independently of the year investigated reveals that mineral cumulation in soybean seed is affected by the cultivar and genetic particularity.     

苜蓿品比试验研究

以新疆大叶苜蓿为对照品种进行品种比较试验，通过对苜蓿的出苗速度、生育期、产草量、抗寒性、抗病性及根茎直径与根茎入土深度等项指标调查研究结果表明，FunduleaⅠ苜蓿出苗速度高于对熙2．8％，第2，3年干草产量分别比对照增加16．4％与12．4％，成熟期比对照提前9～16d，且抗霜霉病。就抗寒性而言，FunduleaⅠ苜蓿第2年越冬率略低于对照新疆大叶苜蓿，第3年与对照品种相同，2种苜蓿干叶率相比，FunduleaⅠ苜蓿低干时熙品种新疆大叶苜蓿。     

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.

剩余污泥腐植酸的提取和对作物幼苗建成的影响

为解决IHSS （国际腐植酸协会）推荐法提取剩余污泥腐植酸参数不明确和剩余污泥腐植酸提取研究中缺乏其毒性效应评价等问题,利用响应曲面法得到剩余污泥腐植酸提取的最佳条件,并分析了腐植酸理化特性及其对作物幼苗建成的影响。结果表明,腐植酸提取的最佳条件：碱浓度为0.19 mol·L^-1,碱泥比（mL∶g）为11.6,振荡时间为3.8 h,提取量为96.1 mg·g^-1。相较于推荐法的腐植酸提取量增加了118%。提取所得腐植酸的元素分析显示,O/C为0.84,H/C为0.14,C/N为4.43;傅里叶变换红外光谱和凝胶渗透色谱分析显示,剩余污泥腐植酸存在羧基、醇羟基和酚羟基等含氧官能团,重均分子量为8 856 Da。此外,在500 mg·L^-1施用条件下,该腐植酸对大白菜和萝卜种子发芽率和子叶光合色素含量均无显著影响,而对大白菜种子胚根伸长具有显著促进作用。综上,通过优化提取条件可显著提高腐植酸提取量,剩余污泥腐植酸腐殖化程度与芳香化程度均较高,分子量较小,生物活性较强,且低浓度下对作物早期生长无不良影响。     

种子子指对棉株下部外围"铃-叶系统"生长及生理特征的影响

以转Bt基因抗虫棉33B为材料,播前根据种子的大小和饱满度状况设三个子指处理,观测了棉花下部果枝外围果节铃及其对位叶的生长和生理特征。结果显示,大粒饱满的种子处理显著提高了该部位开花当天铃对位叶叶面积,还明显地促进了源叶生理质量的改善,且成熟时单铃子棉的干物重得到明显增加。小粒饱满比大粒不饱满的种子更明显地影响了该部位“铃-叶系统”的生长和生理状况,显著降低了成熟时的单铃子棉干物重。

对宁南山区旱地紫花苜蓿土壤水分及产量动态进行了研究。结果表明,随苜蓿草龄的延长,土壤深层水分亏缺严重草地底层与中层对表层水分具有明显的补偿作用;伏秋降对水冬前土壤蓄水亦有重要作用;产量随草延长呈中间高两头低的态热,６－８年以后草地须及时更新。     

硝基苯胁迫对豆类种子萌发及幼苗生长影响的研究

通过生物测定的方法研究了硝基苯对豆类种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:硝基苯浓度为1mg·kg-1时,对豆类作物出苗率影响不大;当硝基苯浓度高于5mg·kg-1时,在绿豆、红豆及小粒大豆播后的2～5d,对其出苗率抑制明显;播种4d后,硝基苯浓度为40mg·kg-1,绿豆、红豆及小粒大豆的出苗率与对照相比分别相差38.10%、40.95%、48.17%,但是5d后,处理与对照出苗率差距逐渐减少。硝基苯抑制绿豆、红豆及小粒大豆株高、根长、地上部分鲜重及根鲜重,并且随着硝基苯浓度的增大而增大。在硝基苯胁迫下,豆类作物根部畸形生长,须根数增多。3种豆类对硝基苯的敏感性顺序为小粒大豆>红豆>绿豆,硝基苯对豆类的影响顺序为地下部分>地上部分。     

伏毛铁棒锤种子萌发特性的研究

为探明伏毛铁棒锤(Aconitum flavumHand.-Mazz.)种子的萌发特性,采用了物理、化学、植物激素等不同处理方法对种子进行预处理.试验结果表明:①种子在常温(20±1)℃下有休眠现象,发芽率仅为1.3%;②低温15℃是种子发芽的最适宜温度;③机械去皮后种子发芽率有所提高,可达28%;④采用质量分数为100 mg/kg的赤霉素处理24 h,去皮种子发芽率最高可达到86.0%.因此,种皮障碍和内部萌发抑制物的存在是造成种子休眠的重要原因,生产上应首先去掉种子的外种皮,再用适宜浓度的赤霉素处理,会达到理想的出苗效果.
