A novel approach to estimating the competitive ability of Cirsium arvense in cereals using unmanned aerial vehicle imagery

Eight experiments were carried out in Denmark to determine the yield loss of spring barley due to Cirsium arvense in farmers' fields and to suggest and evaluate a novel approach for quantifying C. arvense infestation in large plots. Literature about the competitive ability of C. arvense is old, scattered and inconclusive, and existing models for estimating crop yield loss are based on data from North America. This study showed that C. arvense coverage could be quantified from unmanned aerial vehicle imagery using a manual image analysis procedure. This gave similar results as scoring the coverage. Yield loss of spring barley due to C. arvense infestation assessed at harvest was given by Y = 100·(1−exp(−0.00170·X)) where Y is the percentage of crop yield loss and X is the percentage of C. arvense coverage. The yield loss was much lower than estimates from models that have been developed in North America. It is speculated that the main reason for this is the later emergence of C. arvense than the crop due to lower soil temperatures in spring. Grain moisture increased linearly with C. arvense coverage: M = 0.0310·X where M is the proportional (%) increase in grain moisture and X is the proportion (%) of C. arvense coverage. Automated image analysis procedures are needed to estimate C. arvense coverage on field scales, and further experiments are needed to reveal whether the low competitive ability of C. arvense found in this study is representative for Northern Europe.     

草地贪夜蛾对我国玉米产业的潜在经济损失评估

草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda,又称秋黏虫,起源于美洲。自2019年1月入侵我国云南以来,目前已扩散至我国25个省、市(区)。目前在我国发现的草地贪夜蛾主要为害玉米,本研究在收集了草地贪夜蛾的为害及防治情况,玉米的产量、面积、价格等相关数据的基础上,利用随机模型@RISK分别预测了其在防治与不防治场景下对我国玉米产业的潜在经济损失。结果表明,在不防治场景下,草地贪夜蛾对我国玉米的潜在经济损失总量的90%置信区间为375.68亿～3 283.45亿元,投入防治后可挽回的潜在经济损失90%置信区间为254.78亿～2 918.93亿元。因此,为保护我国玉米种植业的安全生产,应加强田间防治来降低其对我国玉米产业造成的潜在经济损失。     

天水旱作农业区膜侧小麦不同施肥水平增产效应分析

通过不同施肥条件对膜侧小麦水分利用、农艺性状、增产效应、经济效益等方面分析,研究干旱地区膜侧小麦的施肥问题。结果表明:施肥可以提高水分利用率1.1~3.1 kg/(mm.hm2),促进小麦生长发育;不同施肥水平对小麦的增产效应不同:低肥、中肥、高肥3种施肥水平分别比不施肥的对照增产731.5 kg/hm2,1461.0kg/hm2和1 648.5 kg/hm2,增产率分别为25.5%、50.9%和57.4%;经济效益以中肥水平(折合施纯N118.1kg/hm2,P2O594.5 kg/hm2和K2O 60.0 kg/hm2)最高,产值可达2 045.4元/hm2,产投比为2.7∶1。因此,在低、中、高3个施肥水平中,中等施肥最为有效、合理,有利于增产增收。     

生态旅游业对东祁连山区农户经济行为的影响分析

东祁连山区位于干旱半干旱地区,旅游资源丰富,立足于区域特色优势的生态旅游业将有助于农牧民增收和生态环境良好。论文通过分析肃南县马蹄寺旅游区周边地区农牧户经济行为,结果表明,生态旅游业对农牧户经济行为产生了积极的影响,农牧民生活水平和生活质量有了显著提高,农业收支比例逐年下降,旅游业收支比例上升;农牧民生产生活方式发生了根本性转变,旅游区及其周边区域的生态恶化局面初步缓解。     

基于生态环境保护的乡村发展规划策略

采用层次聚类法和欧氏距离法,选择山西省安康市平利县的120个行政村为研究对象,对乡村经济结构特征、经济发展水平、生态旅游资源、产业发展潜力等方面进行评价。结果表明,乡村第一产业占比最小,第二产业增长率达14%,规划中应注重农业与工业的结合,加快农业现代化建设与农业机械化水平;优质生态环境乡村仅占20%,超过50%的乡村生态环境指标低于正常水平,应强调生态环境的可持续发展;只有少数几个乡村有较好的生态旅游资源,主要由于交通的极度不发达所致;产业等级为优的乡村较少,应协调优质产业到差等级乡村,吸引外资投入到中等级乡村,有效缓解乡村贫困,并整合产业成为现代化产业集群,有效提高产业效率和效益。

模糊聚类分析在农业经济类型划分中的应用

利用模糊聚类分析的方法,以山西左权为例,选取全县十个乡(镇)的8项指标,对农业经济类型划分进行了分析,得到了与实际相吻合的结果.克服了传统方法的不确定性.     

湿地生态系统经济价值评价的探讨

为了促进湿地资源的合理利用和开发,我们通过需求—效用理论对湿地资源的价值评价问题进行了讨论.从中可以看出,湿地不但有巨大的物质生产价值,还有更为巨大的功能性服务方面的“隐形”价值。因此,开展湿地的经济价值评价,可以为湿地的开发利用项目的评定与选择提供依据,有利于湿地生态系统的可持续发展。     

EXTERNALITIES,INSTITUTIONS AND THE LOCATION CHOICES OF SHELLFISH PRODUCERS: THE CASE OF BLUE MUSSEL FARMING IN THE MONT-SAINT-MICHEL BAY (FRANCE)

ABSTRACT

Most marine aquaculture activities remain strongly dependent on coastal ecosystems. In the case of shellfish farming, this dependency is related mainly to water quality and to the various ecological interactions resulting from the dynamics of coastal food webs. Such ecological constraints have influenced the overall evolution of blue mussel farming in the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay, leading producers to negotiate collective arrangements regarding production capacity and techniques and to develop production strategies at the farm level. This article presents an analysis of the location choices of mussel farmers in the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay based on an empirical investigation conducted in 2002. A typology of farms with respect to their land structure is developed in which some farms choose to concentrate their activity in a single part of the bay while others distribute their activity more widely. Determinants of the location choices of each farm category, including distance to port, natural productivity differentials, and predation of mussel stocks, are analyzed. The role of the institutional arrangements allowing mussel farmers to develop these location strategies is also discussed.
