柠檬酸对淀粉糊化性质的影响

本文采用湿法在实验室的条件下提取18种普通玉米杂交种淀粉,并采用不同浓度的柠檬酸对淀粉进行处理。采用快速粘度测定仪(RVA)分析了淀粉的糊化性质参数。结果表明:柠檬酸对普通玉米杂交种淀粉的糊化性质有显著影响,它降低了所有普通玉米杂交种淀粉的回生值、破损值、峰值和终粘度,提高了谷值和出峰时间;但对不同普通玉米杂交种淀粉的糊化性质影响程度有显著差别,对不同糊化性质参数的影响程度也有明显区别。随着柠檬酸浓度的增加,普通玉米杂交种淀粉的谷值、终粘度、回生值都明显降低;破损值则明显增加;峰值、出峰时间和成糊温度没有明显变化。

玉米秸秆水溶性物质对白浆土吸附锌离子的影响

应用平衡吸附法,研究外源玉米秸秆水溶性物质(WSS)对白浆土吸附Zn2+的影响,影响因素主要包括温度(298 K和318 K)、WSS浓度和接触时间(1～1 440 min)。结果表明:(1)不同温度条件影响下,白浆土对Zn2+的吸附热力学曲线主要包括起始的快速升高、中间的吸附平台和继续升高直至平衡3个阶段,经历电性吸附向配位吸附转变,最终促使二者共存。Langmuir方程能较好描述白浆土对Zn2+的吸附特征,升高温度有利于提高白浆土对Zn2+的最大缓冲容量,另外,白浆土对Zn2+的吸附是非自发、吸热且混乱度增加的过程。(2)玉米秸秆WSS的加入可有效抑制白浆土对Zn2+的吸附固定,减少两者的亲和力,降低白浆土对Zn2+的吸附强度,增大Zn2+在土壤溶液中的移动,有利于提高其植物有效性。(3)随玉米秸秆WSS浓度的增大,白浆土对Zn2+的吸附强度逐渐降低,可采用线性方程较好描述。(4)白浆土对Zn2+的动力学吸附主要包括短期快速吸附和长期慢速吸附两个阶段,第一阶段两个处理的吸附率分别达79.51%和96.80%。玉米秸秆WSS的加入可有效提高短期快速吸附阶段白浆土对Zn2+的吸附率,但同时WSS的加入却减少了白浆土对Zn2+的吸附固定。Elovich和双常数方程描述白浆土对Zn2+的吸附有较为明显的优势,WSS的添加扰乱了白浆土对Zn2+的动力学吸附过程。     

Assessing Tillage Systems for Reducing Ammonia Volatilization from Spring-Applied Slurry Manure

The effect of tillage management on NH₃-N volatilization and its influence on succeeding corn (Zea mays L.) silage production were studied at the University of Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station (South Deerfield, MA) during 2010–2012 growing seasons. Tillage treatments consisted of disking before and after manure application, solid-tine aeration before and after manure application, and no-till management. The greatest NH₃-N loss (61 percent) occurred within the first 8 h after slurry manure application regardless of tillage management. The greatest NH₃-N emission occurred with surface application (no-till), which ranged between 5.2 and 10.3 kg NH₃-N ha^?1 (9–20 percent of NH₃-N applied) over the 3 years of the study. Immediate incorporation of manure into soil through disking reduced NH₃-N loss by 66 to 75 percent. Ammonia loss abatement with aeration before or after manure application ranged from 13 to 41 percent compared with surface manure application. Tillage management did not influence corn silage yield or quality.     

Effect of 15-Year-Long Fertilization on Potassium Quantity/Intensity Relationships in Black Soil in Northeastern China

The effect of long-term fertilization and cropping on soil potassium (K)–supplying capacity has not been extensively studied. Five treatments [control, nitrogen (N), N–potassium (P), NPK, and NPK + manure (NPKM)] were used to evaluate the quantity and intensity relationship (Q/I) of K in black soil (Luvic Phaeozems soil) after a 15-year (1990–2005) long-term fertilization with a continuous corn cropping located in Changchun, Jilin Province, northeast China. Results showed that the long-term K fertilization of NPK or NPKM markedly increased the values of equilibrium active ratio (AR₀ ^K) and nonspecifically available K (?ΔK₀) but decreased the potential buffering capacity (PBC^K) value. Values of the AR₀ ^K and??ΔK₀ in the NPK and NPKM treatment were about four and two times greater than those in the control, N, and NP treatments, respectively. Compared with the non-K fertilization, PBC^K values were decreased by 40–49% under the K fertilization. The black soil suffered from K deficiency even with NPK fertilization as evidenced from the greater free energies of K⁺ exchanging for calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) (?ΔG) (14.7–18.8 kJ mol^?1) than the threshold value of 14.6 kJ mol^?1, from the lower soil K⁺ saturation (1.34%–1.44%) than the critical value of 2.00%, and from the response of corn yield to K fertilization. Our results demonstrated that the increment of the current K application rate through fertilizer and/or manure is needed to improve corn yield in the long run in northeastern China.     

Crop Nutrient Status and Nitrogen,Phosphorus, and Potassium Balances Obtained in Field Trials Evaluating Different Fertilizer Recommendation Systems on Various Soils and Crops in Hungary

Based on correlations calculated from the database of long-term fertilization experiments carried out in Hungary between 1960 and 2000, a new, cost-saving, and environmentally friendly fertilizer recommendation system was developed. The aim of the new system is to apply the lowest possible nitrogen (N)–phosphorus (P)–potassium (K) rates required to achieve good yields and maximum income per unit area. The World Phosphorus Institute (IMPHOS) agreed to finance a 3-year program to test various Hungarian fertilizer recommendation systems (the new RISSAC-RIA [Research for Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry‐Research Institute for Agriculture] system, the Talajer?gazdálkodás integrated soil fertility management system, and the intensive MÉM NAK [Department of Plant Protection and Agricultural Chemistry of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture] system) when applied to three major crops grown on three characteristic Hungarian soils. The first five treatments in the experiment represented a classical deficiency experiment, aimed at checking the correctness of the NPK supply categories determined by the various systems. On all three soils and for all three crops the IMPHOS experiments confirmed the basic principles of the new cost-saving, environmentally friendly fertilizer recommendation system and the correctness of the methods used for calculating fertilizer rates. In this article, diagnostic plant analysis, soil analysis data, and NPK balances obtained in the different recommendations are discussed. In most cases the plant NPK contents of all the recommendations exceeded the lower limits of the good NPK supply category for wheat and barley shoot as well as for corn leaf. Crop NPK contents in Talajer?gazdálkodás and MÉM NAK treatments (with greater recommended NPK doses) were most cases better than in the RISSAC-RIA treatments; however, the better crop NPK status did not result in extra grain yield in the former treatments. Taking into account that similarly high yields were obtained using the RISSAC-RIA system and the Talajer?gazdálkodás integrated system with much smaller NPK doses than those recommended by the intensive MÉM NAK system, it was more advantageous from agronomic, environmental protection, and economic points of view. Differences in PK balances correlated well with the differences in the measured soil ammonium lactate (AL)–PK contents after the third year of the experiment.     

Nitrogen for no‐tillage corn in Virginia: Sources and time of application

Abstract

No‐tillage corn (Zea mays L.) culture normally entails the placement of N fertilizer on the soil surface without mechanical incorporation. This field investigation was conducted to compare the N fertilizers that are most widely used in Virginia, when applied in this manner, for their effectiveness in producing notillage corn. Comparisons of the time of applying NH₄NO₃ were also made. Grain and stover yields, in addition to N removed in the crop, were used to draw conclusions. The experiments were conducted on both fertile and infertile soils in 1972 and 1973, both of which were relatively wet years. The fertilizers tested, urea, NH₄NO₃, and N solutions, were equally effective, per unit of N applied. Split applications of NH₄NO₃ showed no statistically significant advantage over all applied at planting but slightly trended to do so. N deficiency reduced grain yields relatively more than stover yields.     

Effets des engrais N,P et K sur le rendement et la qualite de l'ensilage ue mais

Abstract

Thirteen fertility trials were made throughout Quebec's corn growing region during 1972–74. These included eleven fertilizer combinations with corn silage as the test crop and were carried out on nine soils. Total dry matter and digestible nutrients (TDN) varied greatly from year to year, though, mean yields increased by 23 and 30 percent respectively with the 50 kg N/ha treatment, compared to control receiving no nitrogen fertilization. However, 150 kg N/ha was required to attain a maximum yield of 1250 kg/ha crude protein. Despite a 0.2 percent nitrate content found in the silage grown on the most northerly site, a 120 kg P/ha combined with 100 kg N and K gave the highest mean TDN production (9580 kg/ha).

Potassium fertilization affected plant K content of corn grown at the most northerly site only, where a 0.5 percent was found with the control on a suit containing low potassium levels. Further, striking increases in Ca and Mg concentrations were observed with corn grown on that soil. However, magnesium concentration ranging from 0.11 to 0.14 percent were found with nine field trials out of twelve. Also, low K:(Ca + Mg) ratios were found on three trials, which were increased with potassium fertilization levels of 150 kg K/ha. Accordingly, it is suggested that uptakes of 200, 48, 200, 30 and 30 kg/ha of N, P, K, Ca and Mg are required for good corn silage crops.     

Doybean growth and composition as affected by K,Ca, and Mg rates and corn rotation

Abstract

Different rates of K, Ca, and Mg were applied to bulklots of Decatur clay loam (pH 5.8) which had been collected from an area under natural vegetation. Nitrogen and P were each applied at the rate of 100 ppm. Soybean (Glycine max L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) were planted to pots in four replications of each treatment. Plants were grown for 6 weeks and subsequently all the pots were re‐planted to soybeans. This crop rotation was repeated until six crops had been harvested from each pot.

Potassium fertilization did not affect soybean growth but increased the dry matter of corn plants. Calcium application affected the growth of neither crop, but Mg addition to the soil reduced the growth of both crops. The composition of the plants generally reflected the available amounts of each nutrient. Additionally, Mg consistently decreased K in soybeans but increased Mn in the two crops. The inclusion of corn in rotation with soybeans resulted in the following effects on the succeeding soybean harvests: more tolerance to high Mg, greater reduction of plant Ca and Mg caused by K application, and lower levels of available K and Ma in soils and soybeans. However, the greater rate of depletion of soil K and Mn under corn rotation did not appear Co affect the dry matter yields of the following soybean plants relative to the plants under the continuous soybean cropping system.
