Large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) plantation — An age old agroforestry system in Eastern Himalayas

Large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) is a shade loving plant grown in the Indian hill states of Sikkim and Dargeeling district of West Bengal. About 30 important tree species are used to provide shade to the cardamom plants. Alnus nepalensis, a deciduous, nitrogen fixing and fast growing tree, is the species most commonly underplanted with cardamom. In addition to providing shade, it is also used for fuelwood. The old trees are cut and young plants coming up are allowed to grow in cyclic order. The quick decomposing leaf litter of A. nepalensis also fertilises the cardamom plants. The nitrogen added to the soil in this way has been found to be as high as 249 kg/ha. Large cardamom thrives well in a moist soil, which is maintained by water diverted from seasonal springs on the upper slopes. The system is well suited to conserving soil, water and tree cover of the characteristically steep slopes of the region. Moreover, the management inputs required for growing cardamom are low but the crop gives a higher financial return than rice or maize. The shade trees used in the system are also a major source of fuel, fodder and timber, especially as access to state owned forests is restricted by legislation. However, increasing incidence of viral chirkey and foorkey disease, panicle rot and capsule borer are reducing the cardamom productivity. It has been observed that integrating dairying and apiculture will further augment profitability from large cardamom agroforestry system.

秸秆覆盖对盐渍化土壤水盐动态的影响

研究了不同秸秆覆盖量下盐渍化土壤蒸发量、不同生育期各土层的含水率及含盐量的动态变化规律.结果表明:秸秆覆盖后,盐渍化土壤蒸发量比对照低,随着秸秆覆盖量的增加,蒸发量逐渐减少,当秸秆覆盖量为0.75 kg/m2(C2)时,日蒸发量减少幅度平缓,趋于稳定.与对照相比,秸秆覆盖量为1.05 kg/m2(C1),0.75 kg...

麦秸半焦低温催化气化实验研究

以麦秸半焦为研究对象,比较麦秸半焦和酸洗麦秸半焦700℃下水蒸气气化实验,研究了麦秸灰分中碱金属含量、催化剂种类(K基、Ca基和Fe基)对气化过程的影响。实验结果表明,麦秸灰分中较高含量的碱金属K能够有效促进半焦气化的进行,使得在非催化条件下半焦的碳转化率达到63.4%,相比酸洗麦秸半焦提高了2.6倍。低温下碱金属K基催化剂对半焦气化的促进作用显著,在700℃和K/Al催化剂条件下H2产率和碳转化率分别达到118.60 mol/kg和98.5%,相较于Ca/Al、Fe/Al催化剂而言,H2产率分别提高了10.7%和20.5%,碳转化率提高了12.4%和31.0%;而Ca/Al及Fe/Al催化剂有利于水气变换反应的进行,可提高气化产物中H2体积分数,降低CO体积分数。综合考虑碳转化率、气体产率及气体组分含量等因素,在催化效果较好的K基催化剂中添加适量的Ca基催化剂有利于调节产气成分,从而进一步提纯获得富氢气体。     

Biology,incidence and host susceptibility of Pineus boerneri (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) in Colombian pine plantations

Adelgids (Hemiptera) in the genus Pineus have been reported as introduced insect pests causing serious losses to Pinus plantations worldwide. In 2008, Pineus boerneri was recorded for the first time in Colombia, with infestations noted on Pinus kesiya, P. tecunumanii, P. maximinoi and P. oocarpa. The lack of information on this insect in Colombia prompted investigations of its life cycle and infestation levels as well as host susceptibility of the main Pinus species planted in Colombia. In addition, the possibility of using a Ceraeochrysa species, an already established predator of adelgids in Colombia, for biological control was considered. Results showed that Pineus boerneri in Colombia has an anholocyclic life cycle comprised of four instars with a complete duration of between 49 and 97 d. Infestations were higher in the middle and upper part of trees. Pinus kesiya and P. maximinoi had the highest levels of susceptibility in field as well as in greenhouse trials. A survey of naturally infested trees showed P. tecunumanii to be moderately susceptible, whereas P. patula and P. oocarpa had low levels of susceptibility in a greenhouse trial but were not susceptible in the field. Investigations considering the impact of predation of Ceraeochrysa species showed a high predation rate of up to 140 P. boerneri consumed per day by a single Ceraeochrysa individual. Other predators of P. boerneri were recorded but were not sufficiently common to warrant detailed study.
