Sorghum extrusion process combined with biofortified sweet potato contributed for high iron bioavailability in Wistar rats

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sorghum and sweet potato on the bioavailability of iron, gene expression of proteins involved in iron metabolism and the plasma antioxidant capacity in animals fed with whole sorghum grains processed by dry heat or extrusion, combined or not with sweet potato flour with high content of carotenoids. Five experimental groups were tested (n = 7): dry heat sorghum flour (DS); extruded sorghum flour (ES); whole sorghum flour + sweet potato flour (DS + SP); extruded sorghum flour + sweet potato flour (ES + SP) and positive control (FS). The evaluations included: hemoglobin gain, hemoglobin regeneration efficiency, gene expression of divalente metal transporter 1 (DMT-1), duodenal citochroma B (DcytB), ferroportin, hephaestin, transferrin and ferritin and total plasma antioxidant capacity (TAC). The ES + SP group showed higher (p < 0.05) expression of DcytB, ferroportin and hephaestin when compared to the control group. The DS group showed high (p < 0.05) expression of DMT-1 and the ES showed high mRNA expression of transferrin and ferritin. The changes in the sorghum physicochemical properties from extrusion process reduced the iron and phytate content, and increased the gene expression of proteins involved in iron metabolism, improving iron bioavailability. The combination of sweet potato and sorghum flour (dry or extruded) improved the iron capture and total antioxidant capacity, probably due to the presence of β-carotene and antioxidant compounds.     

玉米空间分层施肥装置结构优化与试验

针对玉米分层施肥作业中开沟宽度大、回土效果差导致的肥料分层效果不明显、各层肥量难以控制等问题，设计了一种各层肥量可调的空间分层施肥装置，肥料可在土壤中形成半包围种子的分布状态。通过理论分析和设计计算确定了空间分层施肥装置的基本结构参数，明确了影响分层施肥装置内肥料颗粒运动的主要因素。运用离散元法对分层施肥装置工作过程进行仿真分析，选取施肥调节片前端宽度、后端宽度和安装角为试验因素，以上层和中层排肥口出肥量为试验指标，进行二次正交旋转组合仿真试验，建立了试验指标与影响因素的回归模型，仿真结果表明，当施肥调节片前端宽度为3.61mm，后端宽度为21.52mm，安装角为43.23°时，上、中、下3层排肥口施肥量比例为最佳施肥比例3∶3∶4。为验证仿真分析结果，在不同作业速度和不同施肥量条件下，进行了空间分层施肥装置的样机性能试验，试验结果表明，空间分层施肥装置能够实现各层肥量的目标施肥配比，在不同作业速度和不同施肥量下各层施肥量变异系数不大于4.3%，各层肥料深度误差在10mm以内，各层肥料横向距离误差在6mm以内，工作性能稳定。     

Comparative effect of advanced soy products or corn protein concentrate with porcine meal on growth,body composition,and distal intestine histology of Florida pompano,Trachinotus carolinus

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of diets containing advanced soy products (enzyme‐treated soy and fermented soy) or corn protein concentrate (CPC) in combination with porcine meal (PM) to completely replace poultry byproduct meal (PBM) on growth performance, body composition, and distal intestine histology of Florida pompano, Trachinotus carolinus. Four experimental diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and isolipidic, to contain 400 g/kg crude protein and 80 g/kg lipid. A reference diet (PBM diet [PBMD]) contained 150 g/kg PBM and 495 g/kg soybean meal (SBM), and three test diets were formulated replacing PBM with 15 g/kg of CPC (CPC diet [CPCD]) or replacing all SBM and PBM with 535 g/kg fermented soy (fermented soybean meal diet [FSBMD]) or 451.3 g/kg enzyme‐treated soy (enzyme‐treated soybean meal diet [ESBMD]). All three test diets were supplemented with 38 g/kg of PM. Diets were fed based on a percentage of bodyweight adjusted after sampling the fish every 2 weeks to triplicate groups of Florida pompano juveniles (mean weight 8.06 ± 0.22 g). After 8 weeks of feeding, fish fed CPCD and ESBMD performed equally well in terms of final body weight, thermal growth coefficient, and percentage weight gain in comparison to fish fed PBMD. In all cases, feeding FSBMD resulted in poor feed conversion and lower feed intake compared to other treatments. Protein retention efficiency, whole‐body proximate composition, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and zinc contents were not significantly influenced by the dietary treatments. The results obtained in the present histological study showed no significant differences in the thickness of serous layer, muscular layer, and submucosal layer of the intestine among treatments. Fish fed CPCD showed a significant widening of the lamina propria with an increase of cellular infiltration and higher presence of goblet cells compared to other dietary treatment. Based on these results, 451 g/kg ESBM or combination of 150 g/kg of CPC and 495 g/kg SBM supplemented with 38 g/kg PM can be utilized to develop a practical diet for juvenile Florida pompano without impacting growth, nutritive parameters, and several distal intestine health parameters.     

玉米原茬地侧向清茬刀设计与试验

针对玉米原茬地免耕播种作业过程中残留玉米根茬和须根导致施肥播种部件堵塞、播种质量降低等问题,该文设计了一种玉米原茬地免耕播种用侧向清茬刀,分析了侧向清茬刀工作与结构参数对根茬清除率、土壤扰动率和功耗的影响。对侧向清茬刀清茬、输送、抛扔等作业过程进行分析,并依此对侧向清茬刀结构及正切刃工作曲线进行设计,确定了影响其作业性能的关键参数。应用三因素三水平正交试验和模糊综合评价方法,选取正切刃折弯角α、正切刃宽度B、清茬刀角速度ω为影响因素,根茬清除率、土壤扰动率、当量功耗为性能指标,对影响作业性能的侧向清茬刀结构和工作参数进行优化。结果表明:在作业速度7.2 km/h条件下,正切刃折弯角0.86 rad、正切刃宽度50 mm、清茬刀角速度52 rad/s时,根茬清除率为94.3%,土壤扰动率为54.3%,当量功耗为3.4 kW,工作过程中未出现堵塞与秸秆缠绕现象。研究结果可为玉米原茬地免耕播种作业提供参考。     

东北棕壤长期不同施肥处理轮作大豆氮素吸收和土壤硝态氮特征

【目的】在玉米–玉米–大豆轮作体系下,基于棕壤肥料长期定位试验,研究不同施肥处理对东北地区大豆生物量、产量、各部位吸氮量及收获期土壤0―100 cm硝态氮累积的影响,为该地区合理施肥提供理论依据和科学指导。【方法】棕壤肥料长期定位田间试验始于1979年,包括不施肥(CK)、单施氮肥(N)、氮磷钾肥配施(NPK)、低量厩肥(M1)及其与化肥配施(M1N和M1NPK)、高量厩肥(M2)及其与化肥配施(M2N和M2NPK)9个处理。厩肥为猪厩肥,1992年后大豆季不施猪厩肥,仅在玉米季相关处理中施用。39年后,调查分析了大豆生物量、产量、氮素吸收利用及大豆收获期0―100 cm土壤硝态氮累积特征。【结果】高量、低量厩肥配施化肥处理大豆生物量、产量、总吸氮量及各部位吸氮量均显著高于单施氮肥和不施肥处理,其中,M1NPK处理大豆生物量、产量和总吸氮量最高,分别为9107、2979和314.2 k g/h m^2,较其他处理分别提高了6.1%~133.6%、23.9%~232.5%和11.7%~359.4%。施肥提高了大豆氮收获指数,但氮素生理效率降低。NPK和M1NPK处理的氮素收获指数最高,均为63.5%,而氮素生理效率较CK分别降低了30.6%和28.1%。大豆收获期各处理土壤硝态氮累积量随土层深度的增加而降低。与播前相比,大豆收获期单施氮肥处理的0―100 cm土层硝态氮积累量显著增加,NPK处理变化不显著,M1、M1N和M1NPK处理显著降低。低量厩肥配施化肥处理收获期0―100 cm土壤硝态氮积累量远低于高量厩肥配施化肥处理,较播前平均降低了79.2%。所有处理中,土壤硝态氮积累量以M1NPK处理最低,比其他处理平均降低了58.2%。【结论】在东北棕壤地区玉米–玉米–大豆轮作体系下,玉米季低量厩肥(13.5 t/hm^2)与氮磷钾化肥配合施用时,大豆季仅施氮磷钾化肥既可提高大豆生物量、产量,促进氮素吸收,同时还可降低大豆收获期土壤硝态氮累积量,降低环境风险,是该轮作体系较为合理的施肥方式。

为了解决免耕减产、秸秆焚烧污染环境、种植结构不合理等问题,试验通过设置免耕和传统垄作田间对比试验,研究了2013年到2016年连续4年大豆玉米轮作免耕对土壤养分及作物产量的影响,研究结果可为免耕技术推广及黑龙江省农业持续发展提供理论参考和技术保障。试验结果表明,大豆玉米持续轮作免耕条件下0-7.5 cm、7.5-15 cm、15-22.5 cm、22.5-30 cm土壤养分指标全氮、全磷、全钾、碱解氮、速效磷、速效钾、有机质含量均高于垄作处理,且耕作对全氮、全磷、碱解氮、速效磷、速效钾、有机质含量影响显著；耕作对土壤容重影响显著,免耕处理各层土壤容重高于垄作处理,免耕处理15-22.5 cm与22.5-30 cm土层之间容重差异不显著,而垄作处理各层土壤容重差异显著；与垄作相比,2013年和2015年免耕大豆增产率分别为16.37%和25.33%,2014年和2016年免耕玉米产量增产率分别为0.88%和9.50%。大豆玉米轮作免耕较垄作平均节约成本640元/hm2,平均增收2220元/hm2。

【目的】研究以玉米地上干生物量为研究对象,探讨基于无人机高光谱数据利用人工神经网络法反演生物量的可行性。【方法】在吉林省蔡家镇开展玉米氮肥梯度试验,并进行无人机高光谱数据和地上干生物量获取,共获数据30组。随机选22组数据用于建模,剩下8组用于模型的外部验证。分别基于光谱指数法和BP神经网络算法构建反演模型,比较分析各种方法反演玉米生物量的优劣。【结果】结果表明：和基于光谱指数构建的生物量反演模型相比,BP神经网络模型取得了更好的反演结果。其建模时决定系数为0.99均方根误差为0.08 t/ha,相对均方根误差为3.39%；外部验证时,决定系数为0.99,均方根误差为0.15 t/ha,相对均方根误差为8.56%。【结论】BP神经网络模型可有效提高无人机高光谱遥感反演玉米地上生物量的精度。     

UV-C处理对甘薯贮藏品质的影响

以海南桥头产区的“高系14”甘薯为材料,分别进行10、20、30 min的UV-C照射处理,统计甘薯贮藏60 d内的腐烂率、失重率和发芽率,并同时记录5种生理指标的变化,以探讨UV-C处理对甘薯贮藏品质的影响。结果表明：UV-C处理显著降低了甘薯贮藏期间的腐烂率,但同时促进了发芽,而对失重率无显著影响。生理指标方面,30 min的UV-C照射提高了可溶性蛋白的积累,减少可溶性固形物的损耗,并促进了POD、SOD和CAT的总体酶活性。综合来说,UV-C处理若要应用于甘薯贮藏保鲜,还需辅助使用其他的抑芽手段。
