Energy use efficiency of deficit-irrigated silage maize in different soil tillage practices on a high plain with a semi-arid climate

ABSTRACT

Energy requirement increases rapidly in agriculture due to the increase in mechanization. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the energy use efficiency of silage maize under three different tillage practices (conventional, reduced, no-tillage) combined with four different irrigation levels (full and three deficit irrigations). The no-tillage and reduced tillage practices provided savings in input energy at the rate of 17.4 and 9.1%, respectively compared to the conventional tillage. The highest silage yields in all irrigation levels were obtained in the no-tillage practice. Therefore, in full and deficit irrigated silage maize, the highest energy ratio, energy productivity and net energy and the lowest specific energy values were manifested in the no-tillage practice. Energy rates in the no-tillage practice were higher by 34.2 and 22.9% than the conventional and the reduced tillage practices, respectively. Moreover, the direct and non-renewable energy requirements were the lowest in the no-tillage practice. In conclusion, the fully-irrigated no-tillage practice can be recommended to obtain the highest energy use ratio and productivity. However, no-tillage irrigated with up to 50% less water amount could be a better alternative for areas with a water shortage by improving the energy use ratio with better water and fuel savings.     

宽窄行配置一穴多株种植对膜下滴灌玉米产量和群体质量的影响

【目的】在保持种植密度和行距一定的条件下,选择适宜机械化运行的宽行距,研究1穴多株种植对膜下滴灌春玉米产量和群体质量的影响,进而实现增产、提高水肥利用效率和实现农业整体机械化的目标。【方法】试验在同一种植密度(9 900株/hm^2),等行距(30 cm)、等株距(30 cm)条件下,设置3种种植规格:1株/穴(H1,宽行37 cm)、2株/穴(H2,宽行104 cm)、3株/穴(H3,宽行172 cm)。【结果】不同种植株数下春玉米叶面积和叶面积指数(LAI)在大喇叭口期后差异显著,且H2处理叶面积显著大于H1、H3处理,分别高13.8%、7.6%;吐丝期以后H2处理干物质积累量显著高于H1和H3处理;吐丝期至成熟期H2处理的光合势、相对生长率显著高于H1、H3处理,光合势分别高4.60%~12.74%、8.97%~9.79%,相对生长率分别高21.15%、103.06%;H2处理的产量较H1、H3处理平均增产21.6%、24.6%,水分利用效率(WUE)分别提高25.0%、33.5%。【结论】春玉米膜下滴灌宽窄行配置1穴2株种植可以提高春玉米叶面积指数,延缓后期叶面积的衰老,增加光合势,有助于后期干物质的积累,提高粒重,最终提高玉米籽粒产量。与常规种植相比,玉米膜下滴灌采用1穴2株种植规格,产量提高约21.6%,WUE提高约25%。     

浅埋滴灌水氮运筹对春玉米产量及水分利用效率的影响

采用二因素二次饱和D-最优设计，于2016-2017年在辽西半干旱区移动遮雨棚内进行了水氮精量控制试验，设灌溉量和施氮量2个因素，灌溉量分别设145.4、271.7、348.2、436.2 mm 4个水平，施氮量分别设0、84.6、136.1、195.0 kg·hm^-2 4个水平，共6个处理。试验分析了水氮交互作用对春玉米产量和水分利用效率的影响，建立了产量回归模型。研究结果表明：浅埋滴灌条件下，灌溉量在145.4~350.5 mm时，春玉米产量随灌溉量的增加而增高至11 005.60 kg·hm^-2；灌溉量在350.5~436.2 mm时，产量随灌溉量的增加而降低至10 730.09 kg·hm^-2；施氮量在0~146.9 kg·hm^-2时，产量随施氮量的增加而增高至10 983.19 kg·hm^-2，施氮量在146.9~195.0 kg·hm^-2时，产量随施氮量的增加而降低至10 862.39 kg·hm^-2。灌溉量因素的影响大于施氮量，水氮之间有明显的正向交互效应，当灌溉量为373.1 mm，施氮量为165.6 kg·hm^-2时产量最高。作物耗水量在拔节-抽雄期和灌浆-收获期较大，分别为115.64、127.50 mm；水分利用效率随灌溉量的增加呈逐渐降低趋势，降低幅度达到52.21%，随着施氮量的增加则呈先升高后降低趋势，增幅为14.73%~20.08%；其中处理6（灌溉量348.2 mm，施氮量195.0 kg·hm^-2)最利于水分利用效率的提高。综合产量和水分利用效率两方面的因素，初步建立了春玉米浅埋滴灌水氮施用优化模式，参数组合为灌溉量348.2 mm、施氮量165.6 kg·hm^-2。     

Diversity in daytime and night‐time transpiration dynamics in barley indicates adaptation to drought regimes across the Middle‐East

A challenge to breeding drought‐tolerant barley in the Middle‐East is that precipitation and evaporative demand patterns dictate opposite water use strategies (conservative vs. risk‐taking). To characterize these strategies, we examined high‐resolution, whole‐plant transpiration rate (TR) responses to increasing vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and nocturnal TR (TR_N) dynamics among 25 local barley genotypes, using a novel phenotyping system. These traits were specifically selected because they exist under modalities enabling the expression of both strategies. The genotypes were selected from locations spread across a large aridity gradient represented by temperature and precipitation data spanning 30 years. Here, we uncovered a substantial diversity in TR responses to VPD where slopes of the linear responses correlated negatively with local maximal temperatures, pointing to opposite drought tolerance strategies. Low canopy conductance (low slopes) was associated with higher aridity, likely to enable water‐saving, while higher conductance was associated with wetter areas, likely to enable a more aggressive water use to maximize physiological activity. TR_N was highly diverse and represented up to 15% of maximal daytime TR, pointing to the possibility of increasing water‐saving by reducing TR_N. Furthermore, we detected pre‐dawn variation in TR_N that negatively correlated with local precipitation, indicating that a tighter circadian control is associated with adaptation to drought, consistently with a circadian resonance mechanism. These findings indicate that canopy conductance and TR_N are potentially beneficial to design drought‐tolerant barley germplasm adapted to different drought regimes taking place in the Middle‐East.

为探明基质栽培黄瓜适宜的灌水下限,实现农艺节水,以黄瓜品种博特209为试材,采用基质盆栽,共设置4个灌水下限处理,即田间持水量的50%、60%、70%、80%,用A、B、C、D表示,灌水上限统一设定为田间持水量的90%,采用TDR350水分速测仪控制基质的水分含量,研究不同灌水下限对基质栽培黄瓜叶片水分状况、光合日变化及荧光参数的影响。结果表明:随着灌水下限的提高,叶片的相对含水量、自由水含量及自由水/束缚水的比值呈逐渐上升的趋势,水分饱和亏、叶片细胞汁液浓度及束缚水含量则呈下降趋势,处理C、D的相对含水量、自由水含量均显著(P<0.05)高于处理A、B,处理A细胞汁液浓度显著高于处理C、D,处理A、B束缚水含量显著(P<0.05)高于处理C、D。叶绿素a、叶绿素b和叶绿素a+b的含量均随灌水下限的升高呈现为先上升后下降的趋势,而类胡萝卜素含量则表现为先下降后上升的趋势,处理C叶绿素a、叶绿素a+b含量显著(P<0.05)高于处理A、B;处理C、D黄瓜叶片的胞间二氧化碳浓度(C_i)的变化趋势基本呈“V”型,而处理A、B的Ci的变化趋势基本呈“W”型;处理A、B、C、D的蒸腾速率(T_r)日变化均呈先上升后下降的趋势,处理B、C、D的Tr在14:00后呈现逐渐下降的趋势,而处理A在12:00后就呈快速下降的趋势;处理B、C、D的气孔导度(G_s)日变化大致呈“M”型的双峰曲线,处理A则呈单峰曲线;处理A、B、C、D叶片净光合速率(P_n)与G_s日变化趋势基本一致,在整个日变化过程中,处理C、D的P_n始终高于处理A、B。F_v/F_m、Φ_PSⅡ、qP随灌水下限的提高呈逐渐上升的趋势,而NPQ呈逐渐下降的趋势。研究结果表明,灌水下限为田间持水量的70%~80%,基质栽培黄瓜叶片的水分状况良好、光合色素含量高、净光合速率大,有利于黄瓜的光合作用,促进黄瓜的生长发育。     

施肥浓度对摇臂式喷头喷灌施肥均匀性的影响

为了研究施肥浓度对喷灌施肥均匀性的影响规律,选用摇臂式喷头10PY₂H,测量其喷灌施肥时肥液体积、施肥浓度、施肥量3种参数的径向分布.试验中,氯化钾溶液质量浓度(即母液浓度)分别为0,20,35,50,65,80 g/L.采用叠加法计算组合喷洒时3种施肥参数的均匀度CU、分布均匀度DU和统计均匀度U_s.分析表明施肥浓度对摇臂式喷头的灌水施肥影响呈现非线性特点.增加母液浓度对肥液体积分布和施肥浓度分布均匀性的影响相对较小,但对施肥量分布均匀性的影响十分显著.组合喷灌加剧了不同测点的数值差异.随着母液浓度增大,施肥量径向分布变化增大,当母液质量浓度增大到80 g/L时,施肥量主要集中在20%~60%射程处,导致施肥均匀性急剧下降;当母液质量浓度小于等于35 g/L时,远端90%~100%射程处的施肥浓度相对更高,与前人得出的滴灌施肥系统施肥浓度沿管道方向递减的规律相反.3个评价指标中,均匀度CU数值最高,分布均匀度DU总体数值最低、变化最大,且以DU变化最为明显,这说明了DU能反映低值区的施肥情况.喷灌施肥等值线图表明肥液与施肥量的分布规律相似,但施肥浓度的分布情况则相反,这可能与射程远端施肥浓度更大有关.     

Investigation of crop evapotranspiration and irrigation water requirement in the lower Amu Darya River Basin,Central Asia

High water consumption and inefficient irrigation management in the agriculture sector of the middle and lower reaches of the Amu Darya River Basin(ADRB)have significantly influenced the gradual shrinking of the Aral Sea and its ecosystem.In this study,we investigated the crop water consumption in the growing seasons and the irrigation water requirement for different crop types in the lower ADRB during 2004–2017.We applied the FAO Penman–Monteith method to estimate reference evapotranspiration(ET0)based on daily climatic data collected from four meteorological stations.Crop evapotranspiration(ETc)of specific crop types was calculated by the crop coefficient.Then,we analyzed the net irrigation requirement(NIR)based on the effective precipitation with crop water requirements.The results indicated that the lowest monthly ET0 values in the lower ADRB were found in December(18.2 mm)and January(16.0 mm),and the highest monthly ET0 values were found in June and July,with similar values of 211.6 mm.The annual ETc reached to 887.2,1002.1,and 492.0 mm for cotton,rice,and wheat,respectively.The average regional NIR ranged from 514.9 to 715.0 mm in the 10 Irrigation System Management Organizations(UISs)in the study area,while the total required irrigation volume for the whole region ranged from 4.2×109 to 11.6×109 m3 during 2004–2017.The percentages of NIR in SIW(surface irrigation water)ranged from 46.4%to 65.2%during the study period,with the exceptions of the drought years of 2008 and 2011,in which there was a significantly less runoff in the Amu Darya River.This study provides an overview for local water authorities to achieve optimal regional water allocation in the study area.

基于公共天气预报的三江平原ET0预报模型比较及敏感性分析

为了提出适合我国三江平原的高精度ET0预报方法,基于该区6个气象站点的天气预报数据和实测气象数据,以FAO56-Penman-Monteith(FAO56-PM)公式计算值为基准,比较Hargreaves-Samani(HS)、Thornthwaite(TH)和Blaney-Criddle(BC)3个ET₀预报模型的效果,对最优模型进行敏感性分析。结果表明:3个模型1~7 d预见期平均绝对误差均值分别为0.66、0.65、0.65 mm/d,均方根误差分别为0.93、0.96、0.95 mm/d,相关系数分别为0.857、0.828、0.840。1~5 d预见期最优预报模型为HS模型,6~7 d为TH模型。总体上预报精度由高到低为HS、TH、BC模型,建议采用HS模型在三江平原开展ET₀预报,HS模型预报对最高温预报的敏感性大于最低温。其预报值在夏季受温度预报误差影响最大,冬季最小,4季整体误差较小。研究可为灌溉预报提供较准确的数据基础。     

内蒙古平原灌区“春麦冬播”种植效应及品种适应性

针对内蒙古春播小麦生育期短、干热风、高温逼熟等因素制约产量提高,且收获后光温资源极大浪费的现状,以及试种冬小麦发现的冬季冻害、春季干旱或“倒春寒”影响返青率及前茬限制等问题,本研究以“春麦冬播”种植模式为切入点,采用不同春化类型小麦品种,通过连续2年的田间试验,系统研究了不同小麦品种越冬出苗、叶片生理、根系性状及产量形成的差异,以期筛选适宜冬播的小麦品种。结果表明:供试的全部春性小麦品种及部分冬性品种可以以种子形式完成春化作用,第2年正常抽穗成熟。冬播条件下春季田间出苗率较春播小麦有所降低,但根系发达,对低温及干旱的适应性强。通过系统聚类筛选出适宜内蒙古平原灌区冬播的3个小麦品种,包括春性品种永良4号、冬性品种宁冬11号和半冬性品种河农7106,其共同特征为越冬出苗率高、抗逆性强、根系发达、产量表现较高,其中永良4号产量可达到与春播相同的水平。
