The priority of management factors for reducing the yield gap of summer maize in the north of Huang-Huai-Hai region,China

Understanding yield potential, yield gap and the priority of management factors for reducing the yield gap in current intensive maize production is essential for meeting future food demand with the limited resources. In this study, we conducted field experiments using different planting modes, which were basic productivity(CK), farmer practice(FP), high yield and high efficiency(HH), and super high yield(SH), to estimate the yield gap. Different factorial experiments(fertilizer, planting density, hybrids, and irrigation) were also conducted to evaluate the priority of individual management factors for reducing the yield gap between the different planting modes. We found significant differences between the maize yields of different planting modes. The treatments of CK, FP, HH, and SH achieved 54.26, 58.76, 65.77, and 71.99% of the yield potential, respectively. The yield gaps between three pairs: CK and FP, FP and HH, and HH and SH, were 0.76, 1.23 and 0.85 t ha~(–1), respectively. By further analyzing the priority of management factors for reducing the yield gap between FP and HH, as well as HH and SH, we found that the priorities of the management factors(contribution rates) were plant density(13.29%)fertilizer(11.95%)hybrids(8.19%)irrigation(4%) for FP to HH, and hybrids(8.94%)plant density(4.84%)fertilizer(1.91%) for HH to SH. Therefore, increasing the planting density of FP was the key factor for decreasing the yield gap between FP and HH, while choosing hybrids with density and lodging tolerance was the key factor for decreasing the yield gap between HH and SH.     

不同水肥条件下夏玉米/冬小麦农田生态系统碳平衡研究

农田生态系统碳平衡取决于农作物固定碳量和土壤异养呼吸排放碳量。为揭示水肥用量对农田生态系统碳平衡的综合影响，设置3个灌水水平：高水、中水和低水（W1、W0.85、W0.7夏玉米季分别为90、76.5、63mm，冬小麦季分别为140、119、98mm），4个施氮水平：高氮、中氮、低氮和不施氮（N1、N0.85、N0.7、N0夏玉米季分别为300、255、210、0kg/hm2，冬小麦季分别为210、178.5、147、0kg/hm2），4个施磷水平：高磷、中磷、低磷和不施磷（P1、P0.85、P0.7和P0夏玉米季分别为90、76.5、63、0kg/hm2，冬小麦季分别为150、127.5、105、0kg/hm2）进行了田间试验。结果表明：不同水肥处理下夏玉米/冬小麦农田生态系统表现为碳汇，夏玉米季净生态系统生产力固碳量（CNEP）为6805~7233kg/hm2，冬小麦季CNEP为5842~6434kg/hm2，夏玉米CNEP高于冬小麦。在高、中、低肥水平下，增加灌水量，夏玉米/冬小麦周年净初级生产力固碳量（CNPP）提高2.48%~5.96%，土壤微生物异养呼吸碳释放量（CRm）增加2.15%~15.20%，净生态系统生产力固碳量（CNEP）增加1.16%~6.47%。在高、中、低供水水平下，增加施肥量，夏玉米/冬小麦周年CNPP增加2.95%~3.43%，土壤CRm增加5.23%~18.67%，CNEP增加0.93%~2.79%，CNEP增加比例与供水水平呈负相关。在低水条件下，氮磷肥配施处理夏玉米/冬小麦农田周年CNEP较单施氮、磷肥分别增加4.86%、7.34%，且氮磷肥交互作用显著（P<0.05），水肥供应水平相差15%时对冬小麦农田CNEP有显著的正交互作用。氮磷肥配施、水肥协调供应均有助于促进夏玉米/冬小麦农田生态系统的净碳输入，在节水节肥原则下，夏玉米和冬小麦分别在W0.85N0.85P0.85和W0.7N0.85P0.85水肥供应条件下有利于增加农田CNEP。     

Effect of farm management on topsoil organic carbon and aggregate stability in water: A case study from Southwest England,UK

There are few reliable data sets to inspire confidence in policymakers that soil organic carbon (SOC) can be measured on farms. We worked with farmers in the Tamar Valley region of southwest England to select sampling sites under similar conditions (soil type, aspect and slope) and management types. Topsoils (2–15 cm) were sampled in autumn 2015, and percentage soil organic matter (%SOM) was determined by loss on ignition and used to calculate %SOC. We also used the stability of macroaggregates in cold water (WSA) (‘soil slaking’) as a measure of ‘soil health’ and investigated its relationship with SOC in the clay‐rich soils. %SOM was significantly different between management types in the order woodland (11.1%) = permanent pasture (9.5%) > ley‐arable rotation (7.7%) = arable (7.3%). This related directly to SOC stocks that were larger in fields under permanent pasture and woodland compared with those under arable or ley‐arable rotation whether corrected for clay content (F = 8.500, p < .0001) or not (F = 8.516, p < .0001). WSA scores were strongly correlated with SOC content whether corrected for clay content (SOC_adj R² = .571, p < .0001) or not (SOC_unadj R² = 0.490, p = .002). Time since tillage controlled SOC stocks and WSA scores, accounting for 75.5% and 51.3% of the total variation, respectively. We conclude that (1) SOC can be reliably measured in farmed soils using accepted protocols and related to land management and (2) WSA scores can be rapidly measured in clay soils and related to SOC stocks and soil management.

以苏丹草为研究对象，于2019年5—8月在河北涿州中国农业大学教学实验场开展了圆形喷灌机条件下变量灌溉对苏丹草产量与品质的影响研究。依据土壤表观电导率（ECa）差异划分出3个灌溉管理小区（1区、2区、3区），并分别对其进行变量灌溉（VRI）和均匀灌溉（URI）处理。结果表明：全生长季内，URI和VRI处理之间年产量没有显著性差异（P>0.05）,但VRI处理比URI处理节水13.4％，灌溉水分利用效率提高了17.5%，尤其是在第二茬雨季VRI处理的灌溉水分利用效率提升了43.8%（P<0.05）；第一茬，VRI处理与URI处理苏丹草粗蛋白含量与相对饲喂价值没有显著性差异（P>0.05），但在降雨量较大的第二茬VRI处理可以显著提高苏丹草的粗蛋白含量（提高9.5%，P<0.05）和相对饲喂价值（提高3.5%，P<0.05）。     

黄淮海旱作区土壤压实度空间分布特征及其影响因素

为探究旱作区农田不同层次土壤压实度特征,基于2017年采集的255个土壤样品,运用Mann-Kendall突变检验法、地统计学和冗余分析等方法,探究黄淮海旱作区耕作层和压实层空间分布特征,分析不同层次的土壤压实度的空间变异特性及影响因素,并提出了最佳土壤压实度范围。研究结果表明:旱作区耕作层和压实层厚度均呈现由北向南递增的趋势,耕作层最大厚度可达22.50 cm,最低仅有10.21 cm;压实层厚度最大可达17.50 cm,最小值也达到7.50 cm。从不同层次来看,耕作层和压实层的压实度具有空间分布一致性,耕作层压实度高值区主要分布在河南省东部、安徽北部及河北北部地区,最大值可达87.68%以上,低值区则主要集中在山东西北部以及河北南部地区。和压实层压实度相比,耕作层压实度是影响粮食产量的主要因素,且在70%～80%时获得较高产量。分析表明,土壤压实度受到年降水量、平均气温、土壤自然属性等环境因子和机械耕作等人为因素综合作用的影响。研究结果可为黄淮海农田土壤压实情况的改善及管理措施的科学制定提供理论支撑。

Biochar and Conservation Agriculture Nexus: Synergy and Research Gaps for Enhanced Sustainable Productivity in Degraded Soils—Review

Degrading soil quality and productivity are major global challenges exacerbated by climate change and management practices. The dwindling global economy calls for other cost-effective approaches to address these challenges. This study reviewed a number of literatures on degraded soils, conservation agriculture (CA), and biochar soil amendment. The aim is to establish a base for more appropriate policy decisions and support for research on CA and biochar soil amendment nexus, which will enable the design of profitable and sustainable farming systems. Studies have highlighted the positive effects of CA practice, yet the adoption is low and some shortfalls have been reported. Likewise in the application of biochar as soil amendment, positive soil transformations have been recorded and some lapses. It is therefore imperative to explore the possibility of merging the two practices to see if the effects are complimentary, additive, or opposing in which case the positive values could be lost.     

涌泉根灌不同浓度肥液入渗特性及土壤湿润体模型研究

为了研究涌泉根灌肥液入渗特性及湿润体水氮运移的变化规律,在陕北米脂山地微灌枣树示范基地原状土上进行了涌泉根灌肥液入渗试验。结果表明:累积入渗量与入渗时间之间符合Kostiakov幂函数关系(R20.9,P0.01);涌泉根灌入渗能力与增渗效果均随肥液浓度增大而增大;水平湿润锋与竖直湿润锋运移距离均随肥液浓度增大而增大,且均与入渗时间呈显著的幂函数关系,水平方向和竖直方向的湿润锋运移距离的拟合值与实测值的相对误差在–3.84%～5.20%以内。肥液浓度的不同对于湿润体大小略有影响。提出了涌泉根灌肥液入渗湿润体内土壤含水率和NH_4~+-N浓度分布的数学模型,即在一定浓度范围内,单位含水率的变化可引起的肥液浓度变化,且模型的计算精度较高(模拟值与实测值相对误差在10%以内),并符合湿润体内土壤含水率和NH_4~+-N分布规律,可对不同位置处土壤含水率及NH_4~+-N含量进行估算。水分分布情况对肥液浓度条件敏感性较低,NH_4~+-N分布情况对肥液浓度条件敏感性较高。研究可为涌泉根灌水肥高效利用提供参考。
