Effects of deficit irrigation strategies on cluster microclimate for improving fruit composition of Moscatel field-grown grapevines

The grapevine plays a very important role in the economic, social and cultural sectors of many regions; however vineyards are often grown in regions under stressful conditions and thus they are vulnerable to climate change. The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of partial root-zone drying (PRD) irrigation on vine water relations, vegetative growth, plant microclimate, berry composition and yield components, compared to conventional deficit irrigation (DI, 50% ETc), full irrigation (FI, 100% of ETc) and non-irrigated vines (NI). The study was undertaken in mature ‘Moscatel’ grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) grown in Pegões, South of Portugal. Compared to the other irrigated treatments, PRD vines showed a better microclimate at the cluster zone with higher incident photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD). Within the more open canopies of NI and PRD treatments, berry temperatures were higher than those of denser ones (DI and FI). Compared to the conventional irrigation technique the better microclimate observed in PRD vines was a consequence of a reduction in vine growth, where lower values of leaf layer number, leaf area, canopy wideness, water shoots and shoot weight were observed. In PRD vines we observed a tendency to a development of a deeper root system, while DI and FI showed a more homogeneous root distribution throughout the different soil layers. PRD showed an improvement in berry quality with higher values of flavour precursors, and total phenols concentration without any significant yield reduction compared to DI and FI.     

沙湖水体污染现状及对策分析

本文对沙湖水体营养盐来源进行了调查分析,结果表明:①黄河水、农田退水的补给是沙湖营养盐的主要来源;②2004年由黄河水补给入湖的总氮、总磷量分别为20.00t和3.04t,占全年入湖总氮、总磷量的50.4%和57.7%;③2004年由农田退水补给入湖的总氮、总磷量分别为15.00t和2.00t,占全年入湖总氮、总磷量的37.8%和37.9%;④2004年由芦苇收割和渔业捕捞出湖的总氮、总磷量分别为11.99t和1.93t,占全年入湖总氮、总磷量的30.2%和36.6%;在调查沙湖营养来源的基础上,建立沙湖水质经验模型并分别对模型进行验证,结果表明,OECD模型能较好预测沙湖水体总磷、总氮浓度。最后利用该模型,对所提出的沙湖水体富营养化防治方案进行计算分析比较,并确定合适的防治方案。     

基于landsat卫星影像的水库水体总磷质量浓度反演研究

以清河水库为研究区域,利用Landsat8卫星OLI数据及实地观测数据,建立了适于清河水库水体总磷质量浓度的最小二乘支持向量机(LS-SVM)遥感反演模型,并对清河水库总磷量进行了反演分析。结果表明,LS-SVM模型的平均相对误差为6.06%,相比于单波段线性回归反演模型及波段组合线性回归模型,平均误差分别降低了20.77%、12.53%,显著提高了清河水库水体总磷质量浓度反演的模型精度,达到遥感反演预测精度要求;利用LSSVM反演模型对清河水库总磷量反演显示,水体中总磷质量浓度主要集中在0.04~0.08 mg/L,水库水体总磷质量浓度总体偏高。     

Postharvest UV-C treatment combined with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), followed by storage in continuous low-level ethylene atmosphere,improves the quality of tomatoes

Mature green tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv Neang Pich) were exposed to 13.6 kJ m^?2 UV-C or 0.5 μL L^?1 1-MCP or combination of 13.6 kJ m^?2 UV-C and 0.5 μL L^?1 1-MCP, with appropriate untreated controls. After treatment, tomatoes were stored in air containing 0.1 μL L^?1 ethylene at 20°C and 100% RH. The untreated fruit ripened significantly faster than those of all other treatments. UV-C treatment alone was able to delay fruit ripening by up to 5 days longer compared to untreated fruits whilst the additional of 1-MCP further delayed fruit ripening. UV-C and 1-MCP treatments alone or in combination had significantly slower ethylene production rates throughout the storage period. The fruit treated with the combination of 1-MCP and UV-C was significantly firmer and had higher total phenolic content compared to that of the other treatments. However, there was no difference between treatments in soluble solids content/titratable acids ratio, chlorophyll content, lycopene content and total antioxidant activity. These results show that UV-C and 1-MCP treatment delay ripening and improve the quality of tomatoes in the presence of low-level ethylene during storage. This new treatment could be used to extend the shelf-life of mature green tomatoes through the supply chain without the use of refrigeration.

Nitrate leaching in a silage maize field under different irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer rates

Quantification of the interactive effects of nitrogen (N) and water on nitrate (NO₃) loss provides an important insight for more effective N and water management. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of different irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer levels on nitrate-nitrogen (NO₃-N) leaching in a silage maize field. The experiment included four irrigation levels (0.7, 0.85, 1.0, and 1.13 of soil moisture depletion, SMD) and three N fertilization levels (0, 142, and 189 kg N ha⁻¹), with three replications. Ceramic suction cups were used to extract soil solution at 30 and 60 cm soil depths for all 36 experimental plots. Soil NO₃-N content of 0-30 and 30-60-cm layers were evaluated at planting and harvest maturity. Total N uptake (NU) by the crop was also determined. Maximum NO₃-N leaching out of the 60-cm soil layer was 8.43 kg N ha⁻¹, for the 142 kg N ha⁻¹ and over irrigation (1.13 SMD) treatment. The minimum and maximum seasonal average NO₃ concentration at the 60 cm depth was 46 and 138 mg l⁻¹, respectively. Based on our findings, it is possible to control NO₃ leaching out of the root zone during the growing season with a proper combination of irrigation and fertilizer management.     

Effects of formalin on total haemocytes count and histopathological changes in the shrimp Litopenaeus schmitti (Pérez‐Farfante & Kensley 1997)

Formalin is used in shrimp industry to eliminate ectoparasites and as a disinfectant. However, the effect of formalin on shrimp's defense mechanism is unknown. Several biomarkers were used to assess the immune response of juveniles of the shrimp Litopenaeus schmitti exposed to different concentrations of formalin (10, 25 and 50 mg L^?1) during 24 and 48 h. Formalin concentrations of 25 and 50 mg L^?1 produced a significant reduction in the total haemocyte count at both 24 and 48 h. Peroxidase and phenoloxidase activity did not show variations. The total protein concentration in haemolymph of shrimps was not significantly different between experimental groups. Histological analysis showed hyperplasia in the gills of animals exposed at 10 mg L^?1 for 24 h; however, the exposure at 25 and 50 mg L^?1 caused necrosis in gills, hepathopancreas and the antennal gland.     

Antioxidant properties of blackberry and blueberry fruits grown in the Black Sea Region of Turkey

Seven wild and ten cultivated blackberries (Arapaho, Bartin, Black Satin, Bursa 1, Bursa 2, Cherokee, Chester, Jumbo, Navaho, and Ness), and six lowbush (Vaccinium arctostaphylos) and four highbush (Vaccinium corymbosum) blueberries fruits (Ivanhoe, Jersey, Northland, and Rekord) were analyzed for total anthocyanins, total phenolics, and antioxidant activity as ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) in this study. The respective ranges of total anthocyanin and total phenolic contents of the tested samples were: blackberries, 0.95–1.97 and 1.73–3.79 mg g⁻¹ and blueberries, 0.18–2.94 and 0.77–5.42 mg g⁻¹. FRAP values varied from 35.05 to 70.41 μmol g⁻¹ for blackberries, 7.41 to 57.92 μmol g⁻¹ for blueberries. Wild blackberries had the highest FRAP values while wild blueberries had the highest total phenolic and total anthocyanin contents. A linear relationship was observed between FRAP values and total phenolics for blueberries (r = 0.981). The anthocyanin pigments in samples were isolated and characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV–visible detection. Cyn-3-glu was the predominant anthocyanin in all blackberry fruits.     

中国蔬菜绿色全要素生产率时空特征与空间错位

为评估中国蔬菜绿色生产率，提升蔬菜生产绿色发展水平，推进农业高质量发展。该研究采用超效率SBM-ML模型、空间错位指数、主成分分析法等方法，探究2011—2020年中国30个省市蔬菜绿色全要素生产率的时空格局演变与空间错位特征，识别影响中国蔬菜绿色全要素生产率的主要因素。研究结果发现：1）2011—2020年中国蔬菜绿色全要素生产率整体呈下降趋势，由1.023 1降低到0.741 4，蔬菜生产与生态环境可持续发展的协调程度降低，其中技术效率下降和技术退步共同拖累了蔬菜绿色全要素生产率的提高。2）2011—2020年中国蔬菜绿色全要素生产率增长呈“东高西低，南高北低”的空间分布特征。北回归线以南产区蔬菜绿色全要素生产率最高，西北产区蔬菜绿色全要素生产率最低，其差异主要取决于水土资源供给状况与市场需求规模等因素。3）2011—2020年中国蔬菜绿色全要素生产率与技术效率的空间错位由北向南大致呈现“正向错位—负向错位”的变化趋势，整体以低错位为主。东北产区、中部产区地势平坦，农业生产条件良好，有利于蔬菜规模化种植。2011—2020年中国蔬菜绿色全要素生产率与技术进步的空间错位呈显著的“东正西负”的空间分布特征，且空间错位程度较大，负向错位省份数量由13个增至17个。由于蔬菜生产过于追求经济效益，忽视了绿色生产技术的投入。4）经济发展水平、资源环境禀赋和交通通达性是影响中国省域蔬菜绿色全要素生产率变化的主要因素，其中城镇化率和人均可支配收入等经济要素对蔬菜绿色全要素生产率的影响最为明显。研究结果可准确把握现阶段蔬菜绿色生产现状，为农业绿色转型发展提供借鉴。
