豇豆不同生长时期施用毒死蜱的膳食风险

近年来,禁用农药毒死蜱在豇豆中被高频检出,已成为豇豆中农残超标率居高不下的关键问题之一。为明确毒死蜱在豇豆播种期、苗期、结荚期使用后的残留及其膳食风险,进行了田间模拟残留试验,将采集的成熟豇豆通过乙腈提取,C18分散净化,经超高效液相色谱-串联质谱方法测定豇豆中毒死蜱残留量,并进行了膳食风险评估。试验结果表明,毒死蜱在豇豆中的方法定量限为0.01 mg·kg^-1,在0.01~5 mg·kg^-1添加水平下,毒死蜱的平均回收率为76.3%~88.3%,相对标准偏差(RSD)为2.7%~6.4%;播种期、苗期、结荚期一次施药和结荚期二次施药后,成熟期采收的豇豆样品中均无毒死蜱检出;结荚盛期一次施药后,残留消解曲线为Ct=1 726.6e^-0.431t(R²=0.981 5),符合一级动力学方程,半衰期为1.6 d;施药后10 d,豇豆中毒死蜱残留量降至0.05 mg·kg^-1以下,慢性膳食摄入风险和急性膳食摄入风险均小于100%;毒死蜱在播种期和苗期的使用,不会导致成熟期豇豆中残留超标,可以安全使用;始花期后的使用需控制10 d以上的采收间隔期;结荚盛期须禁止使用毒死蜱。综上表明,在尚未制定毒死蜱在豇豆生产中精准施用规范的背景下,我国禁止毒死蜱在豇豆生产中的使用是十分必要的。     

丁硫克百威在豇豆不同时期施用的降解代谢研究

为明确丁硫克百威在豇豆播种期、苗期、结荚期使用后的降解代谢,以及可能产生的膳食风险,分别以其在蔬菜上登记的最低剂量、最高剂量、最高剂量的1.5倍3种剂量施药,进行田间模拟残留试验。将采集的成熟豇豆通过乙腈提取、C18分散净化,经超高效液相色谱串联质谱方法检测,测定豇豆中丁硫克百威及其代谢物——克百威和3-羟基克百威的残留量。结果表明,丁硫克百威、克百威和3-羟基克百威在豇豆中的定量限均为0.01 mg·kg^-1,在0.01~1 mg·kg^-1的添加水平下,丁硫克百威、克百威和3-羟基克百威的平均回收率为72%~105%,相对标准偏差为1.4%~20.1%。丁硫克百威使用后的超标风险主要源于其代谢物——克百威和3-羟基克百威。播种期施药后的豇豆样品均无丁硫克百威及其代谢物检出;苗期以最高剂量的1.5倍施药后,第10天的样品中克百威(含3-羟基克百威)的残留值超出中国国家标准中规定的最大允许残留限量(MRL);结荚期2次或3次施药后7 d内克百威(含3-羟基克百威)的残留值超出MRL。结荚期施药时,丁硫克百威在2次施药和3次施药后的慢性膳食摄入风险和急性膳食摄入风险均较低,小于100%;但克百威(含3-羟基克百威)的急性膳食摄入风险较高,以最高剂量的1.5倍2次施药或3次施药后,克百威(含3-羟基克百威)的急性膳食摄入风险于药后7 d才降至100%以下。综上,播种期使用丁硫克百威不会导致豇豆中残留超标,可以安全使用;但苗期和结荚期使用丁硫克百威存在极高的风险,应禁止其在播种期以外的使用。     

Agroforestry systems and soil surface management of a tropical alfisol:

Field runoff plots, 70 x 10 m each, were established on a tropical Alifisol in southwestern Nigeria to monitor water runoff, soil erosion and nutrient loss in water runoff. The non-agroforestry control treatment (A) was established at two levels: plow-till and no-till systems of seedbed preparation. There were two agroforestry systems based on contour hedgerows of (B) Leucaena leucocephala and (C) Gliricidia sepium established at 4-m and 2-m spacings. Field plots were established in 1982 and hydrological measurements were made for uniform maize-cowpea rotation for 12 consecutive growing seasons from 1982 through 1987. Once established hedgerows of Leucaena at 2-m spacing were extremely effective in reducing water runoff and controlling erosion. Runoff, erosion and nutrient losses were generally more from maize grown in the first season than from cowpea grown in the second. Mean seasonal erosion from maize was 4.3, 0.10, 0.57, 0.10, 0.64 and 0.60 t/ha for plow-till, no-till, Leucaena-4m, Leucaena-2m, Gliricidia-2m treatments, respectively. Mean runoff in the first season from treatments listed in the order above was 17.0, 1.3, 4.9, 3.3, 4.3, and 2.4 percent of the rainfall received. There were high losses of Ca and K in water runoff from the plow-till treatment. In contrast to runoff and erosion, losses of bases in water runoff from agroforestry treatments were relatively high, high concentration of bases in runoff was probably due to nutrient recycling by the deep-rooted perennials.

Genetics of resistance to Aphis craccivora in cowpea

Summary Inheritance of aphid resistance and allelic relationships among sources of resistance was studied in the parents, F₁, F₂, F₃, and backcross populations of cowpea crosses. Each 4-day old seedling was infested with five fourthinstar aphids. Seedling reaction was recorded 14–16 days after infestation when the susceptible check was killed. The segregation data from eight crosses between resistant and susceptible cowpea cultivars indicated that aphid resistance was inherited as a monogenic dominant trait. Segregation data from crosses among eight resistant cultivars indicated that one or two loci and modifier(s) were involved in the expression of resistance to aphids. It was suggested that further studies on allelism among sources of resistance needed to be conducted in order to resolve this.     

Evaluation of yield stability of cowpea under sole and intercrop management in Nigeria

Summary Nine cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) breeding lines were grown in 13 experiments under sole crop and intercrop management, with and without insecticide application, in Nigeria. Cowpea was intercropped with cassava (Manihot esculenta Cranz), maize (Zea mays L.) and maize-cassava in the forest zone and with sorghum (Sorghum bicolor Moench.) and millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.) in the savanna zone. Line by cropping system interactions were significant in 5 of 13 experiments and line by insecticide treatment interactions were significant in 2 of 13 experiments. Cowpea yield was severely depressed in intercropped plots and in plots to which no insecticide was applied. Among-environment variation in cowpea yield was greater when no insecticide was applied. Within each management treatment, the yield performance and stability of the cowpea lines was examined. Stability was assessed both by examining among-environment coefficients of variation and by regression analysis. Several of the breeding lines evaluated appeared promising under different levels of management and in a diversity of environments.     

A stability analysis of time to flowering as a screen for responsiveness to temperature and photoperiod in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)

Summary Twenty-one genotypes of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), comprising landraces and varieties, were grown in 22 photothermal environments in Nigeria and Niger, West Africa, and a stability analysis of days from sowing to flowering (f) was carried out. Cowpeas are rarely insensitive to photoperiod; they are typically quantitative shortday plants wherein f is delayed when photoperiod (P) is longer than the critical photoperiod (P _c ). Therefore, in order to quantify genotypic variation in temperature sensitivity, genotype f was regressed against the mean trial f in circumstances where P c (i.e. approximately 13 hd^-1) and mean temperature (T) was between 19° and 28° C. Correspondingly, in order to assess genotypic variation in photoperiod sensitivity, trials where T was near optimal (25°–28° C) but where P ranged from 10–14.5 hd^-1 were used. These stability analyses detected no significant differences (P>0.05) between genotypes 9n temperature sensitivity but revealed significant differences (P<0.001) in photoperiod sensitivity. Regression coefficients from the stability analysis were strongly correlated (r=0.94, 19df) with a photoperiod sensitivity constant, c, determined from a photothermal flowering model. A stability analysis of f from field trials can therefore identify and quantify genotypic variation in response to temperature and photoperiod in cowpea.Abbreviations f days from sowing to flowering - P mean photoperiod - P _c critical photoperiod - P _ce ceiling photoperiod - T mean temperature - T _b base temperature - T _o optimum temperature - SDP short-day plant     

Linkage relationships among loci controlling morphological traits in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)

Summary Linkage among loci controlling various morphological traits in cowpea were determined using F₂ progenies. Data were collected on individual plants of four crosses segregating for several loci. Recombination estimates between the following pairs of loci were as follows: Sw (swollen vs normal stem base)-Fbc (cream vs green flower buds) (41±4.8%), Pu^s(purple vs green stems)-Cbr (cocoa-brown vs straw-yellow dry pods) (31±5.7%), Pu^p(purple vs green immature pods)-Cbr (30±5.7%), Pu^s-Pu^p (4±1.5%), Ndt (non-determinate vs determinate)-Pd (peduncle colour) (26±2.8%), Ndt-Hg (semi-erect vs erect plant type) (26±2.8%), P^t(purple vs green pod tips)-Bk (greyish-black vs straw-yellow dry pods) (19±2.4%) and Hg-Bpd (normal vs branching peduncle (24±9.5%). Four linkage groups (LG) were identified in these studies. The proposed LG I contained loci Sw and Fbc; LG II loci Pu^s, Pu^p, and Cbr; LG III loci Pd, Ndt, Gh, and Bpd; and LG IV loci P^tand Bk.     

The domestication and improvement of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)

Summary Physiological and morphological characteristics of the two wild and three domesticated subspecies of cowpeas are compared. The wild accessions are alike in having small, hard seeds borne in dehiscent pods, but differ in other characteristics. We suggest that the wild subsp. dekindtiana, from the seasonally-arid tropics, is more likely to have been the progenitor of modern cowpeas than the other wild subspecies (subsp. mensensis), but that subsp. dekindtiana was first cultivated in the humid tropics where its pods are slow to dehisce. Domestication has been associated with changes in the structure of pod valves and seed coats which reduce pod dehiscence and seed hardness. Pods and seeds have increased in size, mainly by increases in the rate of dry weight accumulation, and their increase has been only partly paralleled by increase in the area of subtending leaves. There has been no increase in the maximum photosynthetic rate of leaves, but the duration of their photosynthetic activity has increased. Domesticates are less sensitive than are wild plants to some environmental controls, such as in the response of germination to temperature, but in their flowering responses to daylength both wild and cultivated forms retain sensitivity under conditions where this is of adaptive value.     

Virulence characteristics of a new race of the parasitic angiosperm,Striga gesnerioides,from southern Benin on cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)

An in vitro growth system was used to determine the virulence of two samples of Striga gesnerioides from Zakpota in southern Benin. Cowpea variety B301, previously considered resistant to all races of S. gesnerioides, was susceptible to both samples of the parasite. Two other cowpea varieties, 58–57 and IT81D-994, were totally resistant. Resistance in 58–57 was associated with a hypersensitive necrosis of infected roots, whilst IT81D-994 supported production of small S. gesnerioides tubercles with stems which failed to develop. Striga gesnerioides from southern Benin is the fourth race of the parasite to be identified, and the first with virulence on variety B301. The implications for breeding cowpeas with resistance to S. gesnerioides are discussed.Abbreviations IITA International Institute of Tropical Agriculture - LARS Long Ashton Research Station - SAFGRAD Semi-Arid Food Grain Research and Development
