Preparation and Study of a Novel,Environmentally Friendly Seed-Coating Agent for Wheat

Traditional seed-coating agents are widespread and used in crop protection. However, the coatings can pose an environmental and health hazard. In this study, a novel wheat seed-coating agent was prepared by using natural polysaccharide as the main raw material, which produces bacteriostatic activity and enhances the germination and quality of seeds. The optimum formula of this seed-coating agent was ultimately determined through a series of laboratory experiments and field trials. The results showed that the yield of wheat seeds treated with this novel seed-coating agent was increased by 10% and its material cost was decreased by 15% compared with the conventional toxic seed-coating agent. The toxicity of the novel seed-coating agent was also less than that of the traditional one. Therefore, this wheat seed-coating agent had obvious economic and environmental benefits.

梯室淡毛三节叶蜂生物学特性初步研究

梯室淡毛三节叶蜂Arge reversinervis Wei是危害刺榆Hemiptelea davidii的新害虫。对梯室淡毛三节叶蜂的卵、幼虫和蛹的形态特征进行描述,并首次对其生物学特性进行了研究。梯室淡毛三节叶蜂在海城1 a发生1代,以预蛹在土壤中越冬,翌年4月上旬化蛹,4月下旬成虫开始羽化,5月中旬卵开始孵化,6月上旬幼虫下树做茧越夏越冬。梯室淡毛三节叶蜂的天敌主要有显背臀姬蜂Notopygus insignis Kriechbaumer、褪色前眼茧蜂Proterops decoloratus Shestakov、叶蜂啮小蜂Tet-rastichus sp.及白僵菌Beauveria bassiana(Bals.)。     

Effect of Cropping on Changes in Phosphorus Fractions of Soils from Arable and Other Forest Land Use: A Greenhouse Bioassay

Abstract

Laboratory and greenhouse studies were conducted on six soils from natural reserves, seven plantation soils, and two arable soils from the Omo biosphere reserves in southwestern Nigeria to assess the phosphorus (P) fractions and the extent to which the soils could support five consecutive cycles of maize (Zea mays L.) harvest. The organic‐P fractions constitutes about 50% of the total P, and the inorganic‐P fractions in the order of abundance was iron (Fe) P>occluded P>aluminum (Al)‐P>calcium (Ca) P. The residual P constituted about 20% of the total P. There were significant reductions in the inorganic‐P fractions after five consecutive maize harvests; this was however, more pronounced in the available P (Bray 1). About 62% reduction in Bray 1 P was recorded after maize harvests. The reductions in the P forms after five cycles of maize harvest was Bray 1 P>Ca P>residual P>Al P>total P>Fe P>organic P>occluded P>reductant P. The capacity of the soils to support maize growth without fertilization varied widely in each of the maize cycle. Soil from natural reserves produced a significantly higher maize yield compared to most plantation soils. The arable soils investigated were depleted of their fertility after the third crop harvest.

古尔班通古特沙漠南缘蜱携带无形体的调查

为了解古尔班通古特沙漠南缘蜱携带无形体的状况,在该地域3个不同生境区域11个地点采集家畜寄生蜱标本,进行分类鉴定;运用套式PCR筛选无形体阳性蜱样本,并用半套式PCR扩增无形体科16SrRNA基因5′端高变区,进行克隆测序;将所获得的DNA序列与GenBank收录的序列作比对,并用Mega 5.0软件构建系统发育树,鉴定蜱携带无形体的种类。结果共采集708只蜱,鉴定为4个属8个种。在分类后的236份蜱样本中,检测出无形体阳性25份,阳性率为10.59%。序列比较发现,在亚洲璃眼蜱、血红扇头蜱、残缘璃眼蜱、长角血蜱中分别存在查菲埃立克体（Ehrlichia chaffeensis）、犬埃立克体（Ehrlichia canis）、边缘无形体（Anaplasma marginale）和绵羊无形体（Anaplasma ovis）的16SrRNA基因片段。研究结果证实在古尔班通古特沙漠南缘家畜寄生蜱中携带无形体,提示该地域可能是无形体病的自然疫源地。     

A comparison of the incidence of tuberculosis in forty-six town supply herds in the manawatu district in 1950–51 and 1951–52

Extract

The forty-six herds concerned were tuberculintested in 1950–51 under the provisions of the appropriate section of the Stock Amendment Act, 1945. The same herds were retested in the season 1951–52 at an interval of approximately one year from the date of the first test.     

Investigations on the radioactive contamination of crop plants as a result of H-bomb detonation (Part 2) Root and foliage uptake of “Bikini ash”

The Foliar Uptake by Squash Plant

The radioactive ash for experimental use, hereafter referred to as “Bikini ash”, was prepared by igniting the heavily contaminated substances on board No. 5 Fukuryu Maru at about 650°C, followed by sifting through a 100 mesh sieve. On ignition some parts of the fission products, particularly iodine, ruthenium and tellurium would have possibly been lost to the air.
