Influence of soil compaction on carbon and nitrogen mineralization of soil organic matter and crop residues

 We studied the influence of soil compaction in a loamy sand soil on C and N mineralization and nitrification of soil organic matter and added crop residues. Samples of unamended soil, and soil amended with leek residues, at six bulk densities ranging from 1.2 to 1.6 Mg m^–3 and 75% field capacity, were incubated. In the unamended soil, bulk density within the range studied did not influence any measure of microbial activity significantly. A small (but insignificant) decrease in nitrification rate at the highest bulk density was the only evidence for possible effects of compaction on microbial activity. In the amended soil the amounts of mineralized N at the end of the incubation were equal at all bulk densities, but first-order N mineralization rates tended to increase with increasing compaction, although the increase was not significant. Nitrification in the amended soils was more affected by compaction, and NO₃ ^–-N contents after 3 weeks of incubation at bulk densities of 1.5 and 1.6 Mg m^–3 were significantly lower (by about 8% and 16% of total added N, respectively), than those of the less compacted treatments. The C mineralization rate was strongly depressed at a bulk density of 1.6 Mg m^–3, compared with the other treatments. The depression of C mineralization in compacted soils can lead to higher organic matter accumulation. Since N mineralization was not affected by compaction (within the range used here) the accumulated organic matter would have had higher C : N ratios than in the uncompacted soils, and hence would have been of a lower quality. In general, increasing soil compaction in this soil, starting at a bulk density of 1.5 Mg m^–3, will affect some microbially driven processes. Received: 10 June 1999     

通过调节土壤氮素转化提高有机物料对红壤酸度的改良效果

通过培养试验,比较研究了油菜秸秆、稻草、香樟叶和豌豆秸秆单独施用以及油菜秸秆、稻草和香樟叶与豌豆秸秆混合施用对红壤酸度的改良效果。结果表明,在60天培养期内,添加4种物料均提高了土壤pH。培养试验结束时香樟叶、油菜秸秆、豌豆秸秆和稻草分别使土壤pH相对对照增加0.53、0.42、0.30和0.26。对于灰化碱含量很高的非豆科物料如香樟,其对土壤酸度的改良效果主要来源于物料所含碱性物质和物料对土壤硝化反应的抑制,但对灰化碱含量较低的非豆科物料如油菜秸秆和稻草,其改良效果主要来源于后者。豆科类豌豆秸秆主要通过所含碱性物质和有机氮矿化提高土壤pH,但培养试验后期铵态氮硝化反应释放的质子抵消了其部分改良效果。将油菜秸秆、稻草和香樟叶与豌豆秸秆配合施用,使硝化反应受到一定程度的抑制,提高了物料对土壤酸度的改良效果。培养试验结束时,香樟叶、稻草和油菜秸秆与豌豆秸秆配合施用比豌豆秸秆单独施用土壤pH分别高0.25、0.18和0.12。研究发现,香樟叶灰化碱含量很高,无论单独施用,还是与豌豆秸秆配合施用均有很好的改良效果,因此在南方地区推广种植香樟可以通过其凋落物修复酸化的森林土壤。     

A microcosm study on the influence of pH and the host-plant on the soil persistence of two alfalfa-nodulating rhizobia with different saprophytic and symbiotic characteristics

The acid tolerance of Sinorhizobium meliloti in culture media and in soils is considered a useful criteria to select for strains with improved survival in agricultural acidic soils. Using a glass tube system with gamma-irradiated soil at different pH values, we analysed the survival of two different alfalfa-nodulating rhizobia: S. meliloti (pH_limit for growth 5.6–6.0) and the acid-tolerant Rhizobium sp. LPU83, closely related to the strain Rhizobium sp. Or191 (pH_limit for growth below 5.0). Although the acid-tolerant rhizobia showed a slightly better survival during the first months in acid soil (pH=5.6), none of the strains could be detected 2 months after inoculation (bacterial counts were below 10³ colony-forming units (cfu)/30 g of soil). The inclusion of two alfalfa plants/glass tube with soil, however, supported the persistence of both types of rhizobia at pH 5.6 for over 2 months with counts higher than 9×10⁶ cfu/30 g of soil. Remarkably, in the presence of alfalfa the cell densities reached by S. meliloti were higher than those reached by strain LPU83, which started to decline 1 week after inoculation. Although more acid-sensitive in the culture medium than the Or191-like rhizobia, in the presence of the host plant the S. meliloti strains showed to be better adapted to the free-living condition, irrespective of the pH of the soil.     

Nitrogen mineralization and availability of mixed leguminous and non-leguminous cover crop residues in soil

Whereas non-leguminous cover crops such as cereal rye (Secale cereale) or annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorium) are capable of reducing nitrogen (N) leaching during wet seasons, leguminous cover crops such as hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) improve soil N fertility for succeeding crops. With mixtures of grasses and legumes as cover crop, the goal of reducing N leaching while increasing soil N availability for crop production could be attainable. This study examined net N mineralization of soil treated with hairy vetch residues mixed with either cereal rye or annual ryegrass and the effect of these mixtures on growth and N uptake by cereal rye. Both cereal rye and annual ryegrass contained low total N, but high water-soluble carbon and carbohydrate, compared with hairy vetch. Decreasing the proportion of hairy vetch in the mixed residues decreased net N mineralization, rye plant growth and N uptake, but increased the crossover time (the time when the amount of net N mineralized in the residue-amended soil equalled that of the non-amended control) required for net N mineralization to occur. When the hairy vetch content was decreased to 40% or lower, net N immobilization in the first week of incubation increased markedly. Residue N was significantly correlated with rye biomass (r=0.81, P<0.01) and N uptake (r=0.83, P<0.001), although the correlation was much higher between residue N and the potential initial N mineralization rate for rye biomass (r=0.93, P<0.001) and N uptake (r=0.99, P<0.001). Judging from the effects of the mixed residues on rye N Concentration and N uptake, the proportion of rye or annual ryegrass when mixed with residues of hairy vetch should not exceed 60% if the residues are to increase N availability. Further study is needed to examine the influence of various mixtures of hairy vetch and rye or annual ryegrass on N leaching in soil. Received: 10 March 1997     

Use of agricultural by-products to study the pH effects in an acid tea garden soil

The amelioration of an acid Alfisol from a tea garden was studied by incorporating various plant materials: canola straw, wheat straw, rice straw, corn straw, soybean straw, peanut straw, faba bean straw, Chinese milk vetch shoot and pea straw prior to incubation for a maximum of 65 days. Soil pH increased after incubation with all the incorporated materials with the legumes causing the largest increases. The final soil pH was correlated with ash alkalinity ( r ² = 0.73), base cations ( r ² = 0.74) and N content ( r ² = 0.93) of the applied materials. It was assumed that the incubation released the base cations in plant materials as they decomposed which ultimately increased the base cation saturation of the soil. Similarly, soil exchangeable Al was also decreased with the incorporation of the legume plant materials and corn straw and rice straw. Our investigation demonstrated that legumes are the preferred choice for controlling the soil acidity and also for reducing the toxicity of Al in acid soils.     

Influence of growth-promoting bacteria on the growth of wheat in different soils and temperatures

Plant-growth-promoting bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere, phyllosphere and soil of the root zone in different climatic regions of Germany and Uzbekistan were analysed for plant-growth-promoting effects and nutrient uptake on winter wheat on different soils and under different temperature regimes. The investigations were carried out in pot experiments using loamy sand and sandy loam soils from Müncheberg, Germany and Calcisol soil from Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The temperature and soil types were found to influence growth-promoting effects. Inoculation with bacterial strains Pseudomonas fluorescens PsIA12, Pantoea agglomerans 050309 and Mycobacterium sp. 44 isolated from Müncheberg (semi-continental climate) was found to significantly increase the root and shoot growth of winter wheat at 16 °C compared to 26 °C in loamy sand. Mycobacterium phlei MbP18 and Mycoplana bullata MpB46 isolated from Tashkent (semi-arid climate) were found to significantly increase the root and shoot growth of winter wheat in nutrient-poor Calcisol at 38 °C as well as in nutrient-rich loamy sand at 16 °C. Bacterial inoculation also resulted in significantly higher N, P, and K contents of plant components. The bacteria isolates were able to survive in the rhizosphere and in the soil of winter wheat after root and shoot inoculation.     

Microbial community composition and substrate use in a highly weathered soil as affected by crop rotation and P fertilization

A better understanding of soil microbial processes is required to improve the synchrony between nutrient release from plant residues and crop demand. Phospholipid fatty acid analysis was used to investigate the effect of two crop rotations (continuous maize and maize-crotalaria rotation) and P fertilization (0 and 50 kg P ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹, applied as triple superphosphate) on microbial community composition in a highly weathered soil from western Kenya. Microbial substrate use in soils from the field experiment was compared in incubation experiments. Higher levels of soil organic matter and microbial biomass in the maize-crotalaria rotation were connected with higher total amounts of phospholipid fatty acids and an increase in the relative abundances of indicators for fungi and gram-negative bacteria. P fertilization changed the community profile only within the continuous maize treatment. The decomposition of glucose, cellulose and three plant residues (all added at 2.5 g C kg⁻¹ soil) proceeded faster in soil from the maize-crotalaria rotation, but differences were mostly transient. Microbial P and N uptake within one week increased with the water-soluble carbon content of added plant residues. More P and N were taken up by the greater microbial biomass in soil from the maize-crotalaria rotation than from continuous maize. Re-mineralization of nutrients during the decline of the microbial biomass increased also with the initial biological activity of the soil, but occurred only for a high quality plant residue within the half year incubation period. Compared to the effect of crop rotation, P fertilization had a minor effect on microbial community composition and substrate use.     

旱地小麦休闲期覆盖施磷对土壤水库的调控作用

为探明休闲期覆盖配施磷肥对土壤水分运行规律、小麦产量和水分利用效率的影响,在山西省闻喜县进行了休闲期覆盖与不覆盖条件下75 kg(P2O5)·hm-2、112.5 kg(P2O5)·hm-2、150 kg(P2O5)·hm-23个施磷量的田间试验。结果表明:与不覆盖相比,休闲期覆盖后,播种—孕穗期0~100 cm土壤蓄水量显著提高,小麦播种期提高38~41 mm;增加施磷量,越冬—孕穗期土壤蓄水量提高,尤其拔节期40~100 cm土层。覆盖后,播种—拔节期土壤贮水减少量及其占整个生育期比例显著提高,拔节—开花期土壤贮水减少量增加;增加施磷量,拔节—开花期土壤贮水减少量及其比例显著提高,开花—成熟期80~100 cm土层贮水减少量显著提高。覆盖后增加施磷量,产量和水分利用效率显著提高,产量提高1 452 kg·hm-2,水分利用效率提高16%。覆盖配施磷肥条件下,拔节—开花期60~100 cm、开花—成熟期80~100 cm土层贮水减少量与产量呈极显著相关。因此认为,旱地小麦休闲期覆盖有利于蓄积休闲期降雨,提高底墒,可实现伏雨春夏用;覆盖促进小麦生育前期和中期吸收土壤水分;增施磷肥有利于提高土壤水分,促进小麦生育后期深层吸水;旱地小麦休闲期覆盖配施磷肥150 kg·hm-2有利于蓄水保墒,达到增产、高效的目的。     

Influence of pH,dispersion methods,and different compounds on adenosine triphosphate recovery from soil

We studied the recovery of ATP from soil. A soil-water suspension was prepared by two different methods (simple stirring or ballottini mill treatment) at different pH levels and in the presence of different chemicals [Na₂SO₄, Na₃PO₄, Na₅P₃O₁₀, adenosine, ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA), TRIS]. The ATP recovery was evaluated by adding [³H]-8 ATP to the solution and comparing the values obtained by radioactivity measurements with those obtained by an enzymatic assay. Strongly acidic (pH lower than 1.0) or alkaline (pH 10.0) extractions yielded the best ATP recoveries compared with intermediate pH values. At pH 10.0, the addition of Na₃PO₄ or Na₅P₃O₁₀ gave a high level of ATP recovery, 68 and 96%, respectively. No ATP hydrolysis occurred under alkaline extraction conditions. Under acidic extraction conditions, the addition of adenosine, EDTA, Na₂SO₄, or Na₅P₃O₁₀ improved ATP recovery but it was never higher than 34%. The results were discussed in terms of the effects of different physical and chemical conditions on cell disruption, ATP stability, ATP interactions with soil components, and ATP solubilization.     

旱地小麦休闲期深翻覆盖对土壤水分及其利用效率的影响

为充分利用休闲期降水, 提高旱地麦田土壤蓄水保墒能力, 达到"伏雨春用"的目的, 本文将耕作蓄水技术与覆盖保水技术相结合, 采用大田试验研究了从前茬小麦收获后15 d或45 d进行深翻及深翻后采取渗水地膜、液态地膜覆盖对旱地小麦土壤水分及水分利用效率的影响。结果表明: 前茬小麦收获后45 d深翻较15 d深翻可显著提高小麦收获后65 d(休闲期)至316 d(孕穗期)土壤蓄水量、播前120~300 cm各土层土壤蓄水量和小麦水分利用效率。休闲期深翻覆盖可显著提高65 d(休闲期)至316 d(孕穗期)土壤蓄水量及播前0~ 300 cm各土层土壤蓄水量, 显著提高小麦水分利用效率, 且均以渗水地膜覆盖效果最好。此外, 前茬小麦收获后45 d深翻较15 d深翻可显著减小播种至拔节期60~300 cm, 拔节至开花期0~60 cm、120~240 cm, 开花至成熟期180~300 cm土壤水分减少率, 且深翻后采用渗水地膜覆盖对拔节至开花期土壤水分减少率调控效应较大。 总之, 旱地小麦休闲期等雨后深翻有利于提高土壤蓄水量与水分利用效率, 深翻后覆盖有较大的调控效应, 且采用渗水地膜覆盖效果更好。因此, 休闲期等雨后(约7月底或8月初)深翻并立即采用渗水地膜覆盖的技术是旱地麦田休闲期蓄水保墒的新途径, 且此技术可为旱地小麦高产、稳产、高效提供保障。     

氮肥用量对旱地冬小麦产量及夏闲期土壤硝态氮变化的影响

在陕西渭北旱塬,利用长期定位试验研究了长期不同氮肥用量（0、80、160、240、320 kg hm-2）对旱地冬小麦产量形成,氮素利用,土壤硝态氮残留、夏闲期淋溶和矿化的影响。结果表明：随用量增加,施氮提高旱地小麦产量的效应下降,而土壤硝态氮残留迅速增加。作物生长当季的硝态氮残留主要分布在0～60 cm土层,施氮超过160 kg hm-2时,达56.8～211.7 kg hm-2,来源于当季施用氮肥的残留占64%～90%。夏闲期土壤硝态氮发生淋失的土层深度和硝态氮淋失量均与施氮量呈显著的抛物线关系（r = 0.988 9和0.994 0）,施氮量超过160 kg hm-2时,每增加100 kg hm-2的氮肥投入,硝态氮淋失深度和淋失量增加量分别高于27 cm和80.4 kg hm-2。平均每10 mm的夏闲期降水可使离开原土层发生淋溶的硝态氮向下移动2～4 mm。施氮量对硝态氮淋失的深度没有显著影响。夏闲期土壤氮素矿化量、来源于当季施入土壤肥料氮被生物固定后的再矿化量分别为51.8～160.9 kg hm-2和31.6～109.2 kg hm-2。基于本研究,建议渭北旱塬冬小麦施氮量控制在146～163 kg hm-2,以保证旱地小麦高产,防止过量肥料氮残留,减少淋溶风险。

Effect of plant residue return on the development of surface soil pH gradients

 In the field, surface soil pH gradients were observed under senescing plants over late spring and summer. A soil incubation experiment was conducted (119 days, 20  °C) to provide direct evidence of the influence of plant residue incorporation on soil pH. This was investigated in terms of plant residue type (wheat and subterranean clover) and dry matter addition rate (0, 6.25, 12.5 and 25.0 g kg^–1), as well as the soil layer of incorporation (0–2.5 and 7.5–10 cm) and moisture regime (continuously moist and moist-dry cycles). During incubation, moist unamended soils slowly acidified. In contrast, the addition of plant residue resulted in a rapid (day 0–7) increase of soil pH due to the association, and particularly oxidation, of added organic anions. This was followed by a gradual (day 7–119) pH decline attributed to the mineralization and subsequent nitrification of added organic N. The addition of 12.5–25.0 g kg^–1 of cereal crop residues, and 6.25–25.0 g kg^–1 of legume-based pasture residues, resulted in a net alkalization of the surface 2.5 cm of soil. It was therefore concluded that surface soil pH gradients observed in the field were largely attributable to an increase of pH at the surface 2.5 cm in response to plant residue return. The magnitude of such gradients will be particularly large with the return of large quantities of plant residues of high ash alkalinity in soils of relatively low initial pH and biological activity, and when the surface of the soil is exposed to moist-dry cycles.

中性盐和pH对红壤、砖红壤胶体交换性酸的影响

In the present work, the exchangeable acidity of a red soil colloid and a latosol colloid at different pH during reacting with four neutral salts was measured. The results show that the exchangeable acidity increased with increasing amounts of the neutral salts added, and the relation between them was almost linear. When the amount of the neutral salt added was lower than a certain value, the slope of the line was high, and the slope turned low when the amount exceeded that value, so there was a turning point in each line. The addition amounts of the neutral salts for the turning points were affected by the cation species of the neutral salts, but pH had less effect on them. After the turning points occurred, the exchangeable acidity of the red soil colloid still gradually increased with the addition amounts of the neutral salts, but that of the latosol colloid did not increase any more. The exchangeable acidity in NaClO₄, KClO₄ and NaCl solutions increased at first, and then decreased with increasing pH, that is to say, peak values appeared. The peak positions of the exchangeable acidity in relation to pH changed with neutral salt solutions and were affected by the surface characteristics of the soil colloids, but not affected by the amounts of the neutral salts added. The exchangeable acidity in the Ba(NO₃)₂ solution increased continuously with increasing pH. The exchangeable acidity of the red soil colloid was obviously larger than that of the latosol colloid.     

绿洲春小麦调亏灌溉对土壤磷素养分的影响研究

对甘肃省河西绿洲灌区春小麦调亏灌溉两年后土壤速效磷和全P变化进行了研究,并采用配对样本t检验(双尾检验)对小麦收获时土壤P素养分指标年际间的差异及其与全生育期调亏供水量、速效磷与全P的关系进行了回归分析。结果发现,春小麦调亏灌溉对土壤P素养分有显著影响,0~20cm和0~40cm土层土壤全P量和速效磷均与小麦全生育期供水量呈线性正相关;土壤速效磷随着全P量的增加呈线性增加趋势。且小麦全生育期供水量与土壤全P量和速效磷及速效磷与全P量的关系0~20cm和0~40cm土层极为一致。     

Effect of soil compaction on photosynthesis and carbon partitioning within a maize–soil system

Soil compaction is known to affect plant growth. However, most of the information regarding the effects of this factor on carbon partitioning has been obtained on young plants while little is known about the evolution of these effects with plant age. The objective of this work was to investigate how soil compaction affects carbon assimilation, photosynthate partitioning and morphology of maize plants during vegetative growth up to tassel initiation. A pressure was applied on moist soil to obtain a bulk density of 1.45 g cm⁻³ (compacted soil (CS) treatment) while the loose soil (LS) treatment (bulk density of 1.30 g cm⁻³) was obtained by gentle vibration of soil columns. Plants were grown in a growth chamber for 3–6 weeks and carbon partitioning in the plant–soil system was evaluated using ¹⁴C pulse-labelling techniques. Soil compaction greatly hampered root elongation and delayed leaf appearance rate, thereby decreasing plant height, shoot and root dry weights and leaf area. The increase in soil bulk density decreased carbon assimilation rate especially in early growth stages. The main effect of soil compaction on assimilate partitioning occurred on carbon exudation, which increased considerably to the detriment of root carbon. Furthermore, soil microbial biomass greatly increased in CS. Two hypotheses were formulated. The first was that increasing soil resistance to root penetration induced a sink limitation in roots and this increased carbon release into the soil and resulted in a root feedback that regulated carbon assimilation rate. The second hypothesis relies on soil–plant water relations since, due to compaction, the pore size distribution has to be considered. In a compacted soil, the peak of the pore size distribution curve is shifted towards the small pore size. The volume of small pores increases and the unsaturated conductivity decreases substantially, when compared to non-compacted soil. Due to small hydraulic conductivity, the inflow into the roots is well below optimum and the plant closes stomata thus reducing carbon assimilation rate. The effects of soil compaction persisted with plant age although the difference between the two treatments, in terms of percentage, decreased at advanced growth stages, especially in the case of root parameters.     

Substrate inputs and pH as factors controlling microbial biomass, activity and community structure in an arable soil

Our aim was to determine whether the smaller biomasses generally found in low pH compared to high pH arable soils under similar management are due principally to the decreased inputs of substrate or whether some factor(s) associated with pH are also important. This was tested in a soil incubation experiment using wheat straw as substrate and soils of different pHs (8.09, 6.61, 4.65 and 4.17). Microbial biomass ninhydrin-N, and microbial community structure evaluated by phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), were measured at 0 (control soil only), 5, 25 and 50 days and CO₂ evolution up to 100 days. Straw addition increased biomass ninhydrin-N, CO₂ evolution and total PLFA concentrations at all soil pH values. The positive effect of straw addition on biomass ninhydrin-N was less in soils of pH 4.17 and 4.65. Similarly total PLFA concentrations were smallest at the lowest pH. This indicated that there is a direct pH effect as well as effects related to different substrate availabilities on microbial biomass and community structure. In the control soils, the fatty acids 16:1ω5, 16:1ω7c, 18:1ω7c&9t and i17:0 had significant and positive linear relationships with soil pH. In contrast, the fatty acids i15:0, a15:0, i16:0 and br17:0, 16:02OH, 18:2ω6,9, 17:0, 19:0, 17:0c9,10 and 19:0c9,10 were greatest in control soils at the lowest pHs. In soils given straw, the fatty acids 16:1ω5, 16:1ω7c, 15:0 and 18:0 had significant and positive linear relationships with pH, but the concentration of the monounsaturated 18:1ω9 PLFA decreased at the highest pHs. The PLFA profiles indicative of Gram-positive bacteria were more abundant than Gram-negative ones at the lowest pH in control soils, but in soils given straw these trends were reversed. In contrast, straw addition changed the microbial community structures least at pH 6.61. The ratio: [fungal PLFA 18:2w6,9]/[total PLFAs indicative of bacteria] indicated that fungal PLFAs were more dominant in the microbial communities of the lowest pH soil. In summary, this work shows that soil pH has marked effects on microbial biomass, community structure, and response to substrate addition.     

施氮及花后土壤相对含水量对黑粒小麦灌浆期 氮素吸收转运及分配的影响

以黑粒小麦‘漯珍一号’为供试材料,通过棚下盆栽试验研究了不同施氮量及花后土壤相对含水量对‘漯珍一号’植株氮素吸收、转运、分配以及籽粒蛋白质及其组分含量的影响。结果表明:相同施氮量下,黑小麦籽粒含氮量、蛋白质积累量随水分胁迫加剧而降低;各蛋白质组分含量的变化随施氮量的不同而存在差异,在低氮[N_1,150 kg(N)·hm~(-2)]条件下,随水分胁迫加剧,清蛋白、球蛋白、醇溶蛋白含量升高,高氮[N_3,300 kg(N)·hm~(-2)]条件下,清蛋白、球蛋白含量升高,而醇溶蛋白含量降低。相同水分胁迫(土壤相对含水量为55%~65%,W_2;土壤相对含水量为35%~45%,W_3)条件下,籽粒氮素含量、籽粒中蛋白质的积累量随施氮量增加而提高,成熟期籽粒氮素含量占总氮素含量的比例下降;而充足供水(土壤相对含水量为75%~85%,W_1)时,中氮处理[N_2,240 kg(N)·hm~(-2)]籽粒蛋白质积累量最高,同时,营养器官贮藏氮素向籽粒的转运量、转运率均达最大值,对籽粒的贡献率也较高。W_1处理时,清蛋白、球蛋白和醇溶蛋白含量随施氮量的增加而提高,麦谷蛋白在N_2处理达最大值;而W_2、W_3处理情况下,N_2处理小麦中各蛋白质组分含量最高。综上所述,本试验条件下,施氮量及花后土壤相对含水量对黑粒小麦氮代谢具有显著影响,施氮量过高或过低以及水分胁迫均不利于黑粒小麦氮代谢过程的有效进行,综合考虑,花后充足供水(W_1)与中等施氮水平(N_2)组合对黑粒小麦氮素吸收、转运和分配具有较好的调控作用。     

新型有机无机复合肥对冬小麦产量及关键期生长的影响

合理灌溉和施用肥料是实现冬小麦节水增产增效的关键,本研究选用"小偃22号"小麦品种,通过田间试验,于2009~2010年研究了不同施用量新型有机无机复合肥(SAF)对冬小麦农田关键期土壤剖面含水量以及作物生长与产量的影响。结果表明:1)各SAF处理较常规施肥(NF)增产在10%~30%之间;随着灌水量的增大,SAF最佳施肥量也随之增大,3种灌水处理中,理论最大产量出现在灌1水处理中,为8 894.11 kg·hm-2,此时对应的SAF施肥水平为1 350 kg·hm-2。2)小麦拔节初期,SAF处理土壤剖面含水量从表层到深层呈现缓慢减小再持续增大的"V"型分布,而常规施肥处理则呈现为减小增大再减小再增大的"W"型分布;在小麦灌浆期,SAF处理土壤剖面含水率的峰、谷值的深度均深于常规施肥处理。3)小麦分蘖期,SAF处理使小麦植株相对低矮,根相对粗短,这种趋势随着肥料施量的增大越发明显。在灌浆期,中SAF处理植株最为低矮,而穗重及地上干物质量最大;小麦灌浆速率差异主要表现在中SAF处理的小麦灌浆速率明显高于其余处理。上述结果表明:SAF使土壤垂直剖面含水率峰、谷值出现的位置更深;SAF处理的灌浆速率高于常规施肥处理,相比常规施肥处理,SAF处理可使作物在低灌水条件下(拔节期灌水60 mm)更好地实现最优产量。     

免耕对旱作燕麦田耕层土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷的影响

2005～2008年,在内蒙古清水河县研究了免耕留低茬(NL)、免耕留高茬(NH)、免耕留低茬覆盖(NLS)、免耕留高茬覆盖(NHS)和常规耕作(T)5种耕作方式对旱坡地燕麦田耕层土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷的影响。结果表明:各处理土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷含量在不同年际间的变化趋势一致。土壤微生物生物量碳、氮含量均呈双峰曲线变化,其中,NHS和NLS处理土壤微生物生物量碳的峰值出现在拔节期和灌浆期,NH、NL和T处理的土壤微生物生物量碳的峰值出现在孕穗期和灌浆期,而土壤微生物生物量氮的峰值则出现在苗期和灌浆期。土壤微生物生物量磷呈单峰曲线变化,各处理的峰值均出现在灌浆期。不同年份间、不同生育期间,土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷含量的大小顺序为:NHS>NLS>NH>NL>T。其中,免耕各处理的燕麦产量相对常规耕作呈先降低后增加的趋势,以2008年为例,NHS、NLS、NH、NL燕麦产量分别较T增加了22%、17%、11%、5%。综上所述,免耕有利于提高土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷含量,而且可有效地增加作物产量,尤其是NHS和NLS处理比较明显。
