Soil physical changes and maize growth in a structurally fragile tropical soil due to mulching and duration between irrigation intervals

Under tropical meteorological conditions, the volume of soil explored by plant roots is crucial for crop growth as it allows increased water and nutrient use efficiency. We hypothesized that, under different irrigation intervals, leguminous mulch can extend the duration between irrigation events but maintain crop performance, because decreased evaporative fluxes also reduce constraints to root exploration imposed by mechanical stress. We evaluated the combined effects of leguminous mulch and irrigation intervals on soil physical properties to determine whether the growth and productivity of maize were modified in a structurally fragile tropical soil. The experiment involved the following treatments: 4‐day irrigation intervals with soil mulched (4C) or bare (4S), 6‐day irrigation intervals with soil mulched (6C) or bare (6S), 8‐day irrigation intervals with soil mulched (8C) or bare (8S) and 10‐day irrigation intervals with soil mulched (10C) or bare (10S). Mulch decreased soil penetration resistance and increased to 4 days the favourable time for root development in drying soil. Relative to bare soil, mulch with a 6‐day irrigation interval almost doubled nitrogen uptake post‐tasselling, which decreased nitrogen remobilization and increased the crop growth rate during this stage. These conditions had a positive effect on the transpiration rate and stomatal conductance as well as on the growth and yield of maize. A 6‐day irrigation interval with mulch compared to 4 days with bare soil resulted in similar conditions for root development, but greater uptake of nitrogen (102.73–78.70 kg/ha) and better yield (6.2–5.3 t/ha), which means greater efficiency in nitrogen and water use.

【目的】为了研究不同微灌方式下水分调控对猕猴桃叶片光合特性及产量的影响,以"翠玉"猕猴桃为研究试材。【方法】采用小管出流(X)、微喷灌(P)和滴灌(D)3种灌溉方式在猕猴桃全生育期实施85%灌水量的轻度亏水(LD)、70%灌水量的中度亏水(MD1)、55%灌水量的偏重度亏水(MD2)和40%灌水量的重度亏水(SD)处理,并设置100%灌水量的对照组(CK),研究了猕猴桃叶片胞间CO2摩尔分数(Ci)、净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、羧化速率(CE)、瞬时水分利用效率(WUEi)、产量及产量水分利用效率(WUEET)在不同水分亏缺下的变化。【结果】与CK相比,D-MD1处理的日均WUEi及CE分别提高了8.5%和2.7%。P-MD1处理的日均Pn与CE较CK分别提高了10.7%和10.4%,X-MD1处理的日均Ci、Pn、CE较CK分别提高了10.9%、12.2%和11.4%。D、P和X三个处理的WUEET均较CK有不同程度的提高,但D、P和X的产量随着水分的亏缺程度的加大而下降,而滴灌各处理间无显著性差异。与CK相比D-MD1、P-MD1、X-MD1处理的产量分别提高了1.4%、1.6%、2.3%,重度亏水处理的产量显著低于其余水分处理,且其他各处理间无显著性差异。MD1处理在不降低产量的情况下,可以节约灌水同时提高WUEET,重度亏水与偏中度亏水间在WUEET无显著性差异,同时X-MD1的产量均高于其他处理。【结论】X-MD1处理是"翠玉"猕猴桃较为合适的灌溉水分亏缺模式。

Uneven ripening in ‘Bangalore blue’ grape (Vitis vinifera × Vitis labrusca) berries in India is linked to seed viability

Uneven ripening (UR) is a physiological disorder of unknown origin in ‘Bangalore blue’ grape (Vitis vinifera × Vitis labrusca) leading to wine of inferior quality. A preliminary study found wide variations in total dehydrogenase activity (TDH) of seeds from unevenly ripe berries. In our experiments, gibberellin (GA₃) applied to young grapes increased seed TDH activity and reduced the incidence of uneven ripening to 2% compared with 35% in the control. In contrast, paclobutrazol (PBZ) decreased TDH activity and increased the incidence of the disorder to 58%. GA₃-treated berries had higher concentrations of sucrose and TDH activity in seed representing mature seeds with high viability. In contrast, PBZ-treated and control berries had higher concentrations of glucose and lower TDH activity, indicating immature seeds with low viability. These results suggested that competition among developing berries can lead to differences in seed gibberellin content, seed viability and the rate of berry growth resulting in green, purple, and black berries at harvest. The study established the role of seed viability in uneven ripening and demonstrated that the incidence of the disorder is reduced by the application of GA₃ to immature berries.
