Agronomic performance of late-season rice under different tillage,straw, and nitrogen management

In double rice-cropping system in China, zero tillage in late-season rice with straw return from early season rice is an emerging technology for saving inputs, shortening the lag time between rice crops, avoiding straw burning, and conserving natural resources. The objective of this 2-year field study was to determine the effects of tillage and straw return on N uptake, grain yield, and N use efficiency of late-season rice. Treatments were arranged in a split-plot design with four combinations of tillage and straw return as main plots and three N management practices as subplots. Tillage was either conventional soil puddling or zero tillage with newly harvested crop residue from early season rice either removed or placed on the soil surface without incorporation. The N treatments were zero-N control, site-specific N management (SSNM), and farmers’ N-fertilizer practice (FFP). Straw return regardless of tillage or N management did not reduce rice yield. In the second year, straw return significantly increased grain yield in the zero-N control. Chlorophyll meter readings at heading and total N uptake at maturity were higher with straw return in the zero-N control, suggesting that straw provides nutrients to rice in the late growing period. Zero tillage did not reduce N uptake, grain yield, and N use efficiency compared with conventional tillage. Despite large differences in timing and rate of N application between FFP and SSNM, these two N treatments resulted in comparable N uptake and grain yield of late-season rice regardless of tillage and straw return. These results suggest that zero tillage after early rice with straw return could replace conventional tillage for late rice in the double rice-cropping system in China.     

Evergreen broad-leaved forest improves soil water status compared with tea tree plantation in Ailao Mountains,Southwest China

Abstract

In this paper, the spatial-temporal dynamics of soil moisture content was investigated in an evergreen broad-leaved forest and a tea tree plantation in Ailao Mountains, which was dominated by Fagaceae (Castanopsis wattii and Lithocarpus xylocarpus). Soil moisture content was studied between January 2005 and December 2006 at different depths (from 0–150 cm) with a neutron probe. The results showed that mean soil moisture content in the evergreen broad-leaved forest was usually higher than in the tea tree plantation in the dry season, whereas it was lower than the tea tree plantation in the rainy season. In addition, mean soil moisture content was depth dependent, and in the 10–50 cm layer the spatial variability was due to the active root zone within this depth area in two types of land use. From 50–150 cm, the spatial variability was slightly increasing in the evergreen broad-leaved forest or relatively stable in the tea tree plantation. Our study also showed that soil moisture content was higher and more stable under the evergreen broad-leaved forest than the tea tree plantation, hence we stress that evergreen broad-leaved forest plays an important role in holding soil moisture. It is suggested that the protection of evergreen broad-leaved forest should be strengthened.     

小麦梭条斑花叶病毒(WSSMV)提纯、粒子性质和血清学

 采用冰冻患病小麦叶片,经0.5M磷酸钾缓冲液pH7.0抽提,1/4体积四氯化碳澄清,6%聚乙二醇,3% NaCl和1% Triton X-100沉淀,二次差速离心(含20%蔗糖垫,0.3% Triton X-100).一次10-50%蔗糖密度梯度离心,最后经一次超速离心浓缩,成功地获得部分提纯制剂。经电镜观察,可见大量线状病毒粒子,很少有杂质。病毒粒子在中性条件下稳定,在酸性条件下变形。病毒粒子直径13-14nm.长度250-1800nm,其中在300-400nm,550-700nm之间具有二个主要分布峰。经紫外读数,病毒制剂表现为典型的核蛋白吸收特性.其中OD260/OD244为1.19,OD260/OD280为1.29。病毒粒子外壳蛋白有二个组分,分子量分别约为30kd和27kd。
在免疫电镜实验中,小麦梭条斑花叶病毒(WSSMV)和小麦黄花叶病毒(WYMV)抗血清不仅均能显著而有效地捕获汁液中的WSSMV粒子,而且还可在粒子外面包上一层厚厚的抗血清外套。
