肥料结构对红壤氮素淋失的影响及防治措施

肥料结构是影响氮素淋失的重要因素。氮肥进入土壤后,其损失途径主要是氨挥发和反硝化的气态损失。但是,氮肥通过渗漏淋失对地下水(饮用水源)的污染,也不容忽视。为此,综述了近年来3种肥料结构(即单施无机氮肥、无机肥混施、无机肥与有机肥混施)对红壤区稻田土壤氮素淋失的影响的研究进展,并且提出了如何防止氮素淋失的对策

蔬菜的硝酸盐污染及防控措施

由于不合理的种植手段,造成了蔬菜的硝酸盐污染,影响蔬菜的品质,威胁人类的身体健康和生命安全。通过重视施用有机肥、合理施用氮肥、注意施肥时期和施肥种类、在不同季节使用正确栽培设施、使用硝化抑制剂(氮肥增效剂)等技术手段,可以明显减少硝酸盐在蔬菜中的残留,对发展绿色无公害蔬菜生产和提高人民生活水平有着十分重要的意义。     

硝酸盐对硅胶表面噻虫嗪的光敏化降解的初步研究

以硅胶模拟土壤颗粒,研究了噻虫嗪在硅胶表面的光解作用。通过正交实验,研究了萃取剂种类、萃取剂用量、萃取时间,以及噻虫嗪在硅胶上的负载量等因素对萃取效果的影响,确定了最佳萃取条件。通过对照NO-3存在与否2种情况下噻虫嗪的光解情况,考察了NO3-对噻虫嗪光解作用的影响。结果表明,在氙灯照射下,噻虫嗪的半衰期与硝酸钾的负载量有关,随着硝酸钾含量的增加,噻虫嗪的半衰期有明显降低,速率常数相应增大,硝酸盐对噻虫嗪的光解有促进作用。随着光照强度的增大,噻虫嗪的半衰期也相应缩短。     

有机培肥土壤对优势流中养分淋失的影响

为研究有机培肥对土壤优势流中养分淋失的影响,采用原状土柱模拟淋溶的方法,对土壤优势流中养分淋失的情况进行研究.结果表明,土壤经有机培肥后,明显降低了优势流中各种养分的淋失速度,从而使养分的淋失总量减少,为未施秸秆处理的1/3左右.有机培肥土壤对于淋溶液中养分浓度的影响表现为,在淋溶液中养分浓度总体降低的同时,各种养分的浓度降低的幅度又有所不同,其中对水溶性K和铵离子的效果最明显,而对硝态氮（NO-3-N）保持作用则相对差些.上述结果说明,有机培肥对减少土壤优势流造成的土壤养分淋失以及降低地下水污染都有一定的作用.     

Nitrate and bromide contents of glasshouse radish as affected by soil content and global radiation

Abstract

Samples (208) of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) foliage and root were collected from commercial glasshouses. Simultaneously corresponding soil samples were taken. Both plant and soil samples were analysed for nitrate and bromide.

The nitrate contents of foliage and root are affected by global radiation and by nitrate content of the soil. An interaction between the two factors was found; It indicated that soil nitrate content had a considerable effect in summer, but much less so in winter under poor light conditions, when the level of nitrate in the crop is high regardless of the nitrogen status of the soil. To study the effect of radiation on nitrate content of radish in summer it was found best to consider the cumulative amount of radiation during 10 days before harvest; in winter, a period of 20–30 days was more suitable.

The bromide content of foliage and root (highest values being resp. 390 and 73 mg Br per kg fresh product) was correlated with the concentration of bromide in the 1:2 volume soil extract. An increase of 1 mmol NO₃ per 1 soil extract lowered the Br content of fresh radish roots by 5.8 mg Br per kg.     

Effects of Carbofuran on Availability of Macronutrients and Growth of Tomato Plants in Natural Soils and Soils Amended with Inorganic Fertilizers and Vermicompost

The effects of lower field rate (LFR), field rate (FR), and higher field rate (HFR) applications of carbofuran on ammonium (NH₄)-nitrogen (N), nitrate (NO₃)-N, available phosphorus (P), and available potassium (K) contents in natural soils and those amended with inorganic fertilizers and vermicompost on the growth of tomato plants were studied. The NH₄-N, NO₃-N, available P, and available K contents increased up to FR but the most significant increase in was observed at LFR of carbofuran application. At HFR there was a significant reduction in nutrient availability. With passage of time all these parameters increase up to 30 days; thereafter, a decrease was observed up to the end of the experiment in both unamended and amended soils. The greater plant growth was observed at LFR of carbofuran application and at HFR the plants exhibited phytotoxicity in the form of marginal leaf scorching in both systems. The morphological growth parameters of tomato plants were positively correlated with nutrients availability.     

Analysis of NO3 interception of the parasitic angiosperm Orobanche spp. using a positron-emitting tracer imaging system and 13NO− 3: A new method for the visualization and quantitative analysis of the NO3 interception ratio

Abstract

The root parasitic plants Orobanche spp. (broomrapes) seriously affect agricultural production. A visualization and quantitative analytical method for the interception of nutrients was established using a positron-emitting tracer imaging system and ¹³NO^? ₃. By using this analytical method that involves volume normalization with ¹⁸F^? images, the nitrogen nutrient interception ratio of the Orobanche spp. was calculated to be 73.6 ± 3.9% in a host–parasite system of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.).     

Characterization and Heavy Metal Retention Capacity of Soils in Mangrove Forest of the Niger Delta,Nigeria

Abstract

Soils under the main mangrove (Rhizophora racemosa and Avicennia germinans) forest in the Niger Delta, Nigeria, were characterized, and their capacities to retain heavy metals were examined by using soil column leaching experiments, using 20 mg L^?1 Cu, 50 mg L^?1 Zn, 20 mg L^?1 Cd, and 100 mg L^?1 Mn solutions. At the end of the leaching experiments, soil samples from each column were divided into two layers (0–5 cm and 5–10 cm) and analyzed for total metal retained. The fractionation of heavy metals in the surface soil samples (0–5 cm) was investigated by the sequential extraction technique. The study showed that the soils were influenced by tidal flow and characterized by the presence of very fine textured, thin (0–5 cm) to moderately thick (10–15 cm) layer of alluvium (mud) on the surface. The fibric soil material beneath the surface mud varies in thickness from about 70 to 100 cm, and beyond the histic layer is the plastic, very sticky, massive clay. In situ, the soils were neutral in reaction (pH 7.0–7.2), but became strongly acid (pH 3.3–4.8) upon drying. They are saline, high in soluble salts, highly reduced, with CEC that is low in the fibric layer, but high in the mineral, clayey subsoil horizon. The soils are saturated with water for much more than 30 days in a year and have fiber content that is more than 40 cm thick, with the fibric sphagnum constituting more than three‐fourths by volume to a depth greater than 90 cm. The soils, classified as Typic Sphagnofibrists, sequestered considerable amounts of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and manganese (Mn) with most of the metals retained in the surface soils. The anthropogenic heavy metals were mostly adsorbed probably to the negatively charged sites of organics and clay. These loosely bound metals may be desorbed and reenter the aqueous phase, thus becoming a secondary source of metal pollution.
