Soil–plant water dynamics is a major driving factor on crop yield which could be improved under optimal irrigation strategy. The soil water dynamics under partial root-zone drying (PRD) and its consequent effects on maize economics returns were investigated in a two-year field study in the research field of Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University. Irrigation treatments included full irrigation (FI) and two PRD treatments including PRD1 and PRD2, receiving 100%, 75% and 55% of crop water demand at each irrigation event, respectively. TDRs were used for measuring soil water contents on a daily basis. Economic analysis was done based on net present value (NPV), benefit-to-cost ratio (B/C) and internal rate of return (INRR) indices. Applying PRD1 treatment increased soil wetting front advance by 110–330% compared those for other treatments which caused 50% increase in root water uptake. Improved soil water dynamics under PRD1 prevented a significant reduction in maize grain yield, leading to 37.7%, 6.14% and 192% increase in NPV, B/C and INRR, respectively, under PRD1 than those for FI treatment. Thus, PRD1 was the most economic water-saving irrigation strategy under which 25% of irrigation water would be saved due to a better utilization of soil water supply.  相似文献

Abstract

There has been strong support for the hypothesis that the adverse effects of plant residues on crop yields are due to phytotoxic compounds derived from these residues. This hypothesis is based largely on studies showing that, when compared with distilled water, aqueous extracts of plant residues have an adverse effect on seed germination and seedling growth. Because seed germination and seedling growth are reduced by a delay in germination resulting from slow uptake of water by seeds, we studied the possibility that the adverse effects of aqueous extracts of plant residues on seed germination and seedling growth might be at least partly due to water uptake by seeds being retarded by water‐soluble constituents of these residues. To test this possibility, we compared the rates of water uptake and germination of seeds of corn (Zea mays L.), soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merrill], and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) when these seeds were treated with distilled water and with aqueous extracts of corn, sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], and wheat residues. We found that the rates of water uptake and germination of seeds treated with aqueous extracts of plant residues were appreciably slower than the corresponding rates for seeds treated with distilled water. This may be due to the water potentials of these extracts (ca. ‐50 kPa) because when seeds of corn, sorghum, and wheat were treated with a solution of polyethylene glycol 8000 having a water potential similar to that of the extracts of plant residues tested, the rates of water uptake and germination were also slower than the corresponding rates for seeds treated with distilled water. These observations suggest that the adverse effects of aqueous extracts of plant residues on seed germination and seedling growth when compared with distilled water may be partly due to constituents of these extracts inducing water potential effects that reduce water uptake by germinating seeds.  相似文献

Exploring soil layers and water tables with ground-penetrating radar   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has been used predominantly for environments with low electrical conductivity like freshwater aquifers, glaciers, or dry sandy soils. The objective of the present study was to explore its application for mapping in subsurface agricultural soils to a depth of several meters. For a loamy sand and a clayey site on the North China Plain, clay inclusions in the sand were detected; the thickness, inclination, and continuity of the confining clay and silt layers was assessed; and a local water table was mapped. Direct sampling (soil coring and profiling) in the top meter and independent measurement of the water table were utilized to confirm the findings. Also, effective estimates of the dielectric number for the site with the dielectric number of moist clayey soils depending strongly on frequency were obtained. Thus, important properties of soils, like the arrangement and type of layers and in particular their continuity and inclination, could be explored with moderate efforts for rather large areas to help find optimal locations for the time-consuming and expensive measurements which would be necessary to detail a model of the subsurface.  相似文献

Abstract

The clay percentage determined by mechanical means in distilled water without the removal of organic matter and soluble salts and use of a chemical dispersant, is referred to as water dispersible clay (WDC). In this study, a “micro‐pipette” WDC method is developed and described. The method increases laboratory production, i.e., number of samples per day, and yet requires less laboratory space and time. In addition, this method yields, for most soils, WDC values comparable to those values obtained by the standard SCS “macro‐pipette” method. Statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) for determination of WDC percent indicates nonsignificant effects at α = 0.05 for both method and method times soil but significant effects for method times soil interaction term at α=0.10. In order to characterize the particle‐size distributions, a moment analysis was run on each of the 14 soils. In this study, the distributions of most soils measured by the “macro‐pipette” method are not significantly different by the “micro‐pipette” method. This abbreviated method may represent a significant savings for both high‐volume characterization laboratories and research and developmental work. This application of the measurement of WDC may also be modified for use in the soil survey field office.  相似文献

Corn field experiments with two treatments, NP and NPK, where N in the form of urea, P in the form of calcium phosphate, and K in the form of KCl were applied at rates of 187.5, 33.3, and 125 kg ha^-1, respectively, on soils derived from Quaternary red clay were conducted in the hilly red soil region of Zhejiang Province, China. Plant grains and stalks were collected for determination of K content. Seven equations were used to describe the kinetics of K release from surface soil samples taken before the corn experiments under electric field strengths of 44.4 and 88.8 V cm^-1 by means of electro-ultrafiltration (EUF) and to determine if their parameters had a practical application. The second-order and Elovich equations excellently described K release; the first-order, power function, and parabolic diffusion equations also described K release well; but the zero-order and exponential equations were not so good at reflecting K release. Five reference standards from the field experiments, including relative grain yield (yield of the NP treatment/yield of the NPK treatment), relative dry matter yield (dry matter of the NP treatment/dry matter of the NPK treatment), quantity of K uptake in the NP treatment (no K application), soil exchangeable K, and soil HNO3-soluble K, were used to test the effectiveness of equation parameters obtained from the slope or intercept of these equations. Correlations of the ymax (the maximum desorbable quantity of K) in the second-order equation and the constant b in the first-order and Elovich equations to all five reference standards were highly significant (P ≤ 0.01). The constant a in the power function equation was highly significant (P 〈 0.01) for four of the five reference standards with the fifth being significant (P ≤ 0.05). The constant b in the parabolic equation was also significantly correlated (P ≤ 0.05) to the relative grain yield and soil HNO3-soluble K. These suggested that all of these parameters could be used to estimate the soil K supplying capacity and the crop response to K fertilizer.  相似文献

Water-binding properties of myofibrils extracted from porcine muscle, and added hemoglobin with and without exposure to H2O2, were characterized using low-field proton NMR T2 relaxometry. The effects of pH and ionic strength in the samples were investigated as pH was adjusted to 5.4, 6.2, and 7.0 and ionic strength was adjusted to 0.29, 0.46, and 0.71 M, respectively. The formation of dityrosine as a measure of oxidative protein cross-linking revealed a significant increase in dityrosine concentrations upon H2O2 activation. The formation of dityrosine was strongly pH-dependent and increased with decreasing pH. In addition, increased levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were observed upon addition of H2O2, implying that lipid oxidation was enhanced, however, with a different oxidation pattern as compared to the myofibrillar proteins. Low-field NMR relaxation measurements revealed reduced T2 relaxation times upon H2O2 activation, which corresponds to reduced water-holding capacity upon oxidation. However, a direct relationship between degree of oxidation and T2 relaxation time was not observed with various pH values and ionic strengths, and further studies are needed for a complete understanding of the effect of oxidation on myofibrillar functionality.  相似文献

One of the most valuable ecological potentials of soil organic matter (SOM) is based on its highly dynamic nature, which enables flexible reactions to a variety of environmental conditions. SOM controls a large part of the processes occurring at biogeochemical interfaces in soil and may contribute to sequestration of organic chemicals. This contribution focuses on dynamics in SOM from a viewpoint that regards SOM as an amorphous matrix, in which weak intermolecular interactions rather than covalent binding are considered. This view is based on the conception of SOM as a supramolecular assembly, which was first suggested in studies by A. Piccolo and R. L. Wershaw. Based on our recent results on thermal analysis of SOM, our central hypothesis is that regardless of the individual molecular mass, SOM undergoes physicochemical matrix aging, driven by dynamics in intermolecular cross‐linking via bridges of water molecules. In this study, we have made the first efforts to evaluate the water‐bridge hypothesis with proton NMR relaxation and proton wideline NMR. The results clearly indicate changes in relaxation time and proton line shape induced by manipulations of thermal history, which suggests an increase in side‐chain mobility upon heating that remains after cooling. Side‐chain mobility slowly decreases again within at least 1–2 weeks. Our current results strongly suggest even longer aging periods. This observation supports the hypothesis that water molecules bridge molecular segments of SOM. The bridges may be easily disrupted, while re‐formation is slow due to diffusion limitation in the SOM matrix.  相似文献

The 41 participants of the BMBF-research-focus ‘percolation water prognosis’ are working out the scientific basis of the methods, which are needed to carry out this ‘percolation water prognosis’. They are either focussing on the further development of methods for determining the source strength of materials or on improving existing models for predicting the contaminant transport through soils. Validity and transferability of these developed methods/models are evaluated by including the core projects ‘reference materials’ and ‘lysimeter experiments’ . Scientific co-ordination is carried out at the HSL, where — among other activities — a central database will be created to compare and interpret the results of the different projects. A routine procedure for carrying out the ‘percolation water prognosis’ in most cases must be easily applicable and generally accepted. Nevertheless, the research projects are examining the arising questions from different perspectives and apply highly sophisticated methods in order to provide a sound scientific basis [8]. Most of the projects have started in the course of the year 2001, so first results may be expected during 2002.  相似文献

Rice yield and water use as affected by soil management practices   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A field experiment was conducted at the Shenyang Experimental Station of Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,to study the effects of soil management practices on water use and rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield in an axtuic brown soil during 2001 and 2002. A completely random experimental design with three replications was employed, having four soil management practices as treatments, namely: an undisturbed plow layer (CK), a thin plastic film (TN), a thick plastic film (TI) and subsoil compacting (CP). Results indicated no significant differences among all treatments for rice biomass and grain yields. Also, water consumption was about the same for treatments TN and CK, however the treatments TI and CP were much lower with more than 45% and 40% of the irrigation water in the treatments TI and CP, respectively,saved each year compared to CK. Therefore, water use efficiency was higher in the treatments TI and CP. These results will provide a scientific basis for the water-saving rice cultivation.  相似文献

To reduce water loss in light-textured soils, hydraulic conductivity should be reduced by mixing the soils with some soil conditioners, e.g. sodium-bentonite. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of irrigation water with different bentonite concentrations (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%) on hydraulic gradient (i) and relative saturated hydraulic conductivity (K rs) in a laboratory soil column with a loamy sand soil. Addition of sodium-bentonite to the soil increased i throughout each experiment. Furthermore, addition of bentonite reduced K rs, and a 0.2% bentonite–water concentration after infiltration of 48 mm of bentonite–water mixture (BWM), reduced the K rs value to 56% of K s. K rs was reduced as the concentrations of bentonite increased and its value reached ~0.5 to 0.6 as the infiltration of BWM increased. The lowest value of K rs and the greatest reduction rate occurred at a bentonite concentration of 0.2%. It is concluded that BWM can be used as a channel liner. Using a 0.2% bentonite concentration resulted in a reduction in the seepage ratio from 1.0 to 0.08.  相似文献

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of surface film-forming material (SFFM), a mixture of 16~18-octadecanols by emulsification, on water evaporation. Air-dried soil with distilled water was incubated firstly for 7 days to reestablish soil biological activity and then for another 7 days after treated with SFFM at rates of 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 g m-2, respectively. Everyday during the 7-day incubation after addition of SFFM, water losses due to evaporation were measured by an electronic balance. The rate of water evaporation with the addition of SFFM was reduced significantly compared with the control treatment and the effectiveness of SFFM on water evaporation reduced with time. According to the equation expressions of the effect of SFFM on water evaporation, the half-life of effectiveness of SFFM on water evaporation was introduced and calculated to analyze quantitative relationship between the effectiveness of SFFM on water evaporation and the addition rate of SFFM. The calculated half-life increased with the addition rate of SFFM and the confidence of the calculated values of the half-life was high, suggesting that the half-life of effectiveness of SFFM on water evaporation could be described quantitatively and may be helpful for ameliorating application method of SFFM and screening surface-film forming materials in order to improve nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency in flooded rice fields.  相似文献

Interrelationships between peat and water were studied using a hydropedological modelling approach for adjacent relatively intact and degraded peatland in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The easy to observe degree of peat humification provided good guidance for the assignment of more difficult to measure saturated hydraulic conductivities to the acrotelm–catotelm hydrological system. Ideally, to prevent subsidence and fire, groundwater levels should be maintained between 40 cm below and 100 cm above the peat surface. Calculated groundwater levels for different years and for different months within a single year showed that these levels can drop deeper than the critical threshold of 40 cm below the peat surface whilst flooding of more than 100 cm above the surface was also observed. In July 1997, a dry El Niño year, areas for which deep groundwater levels were calculated coincided with areas that were on fire as detected from radar images. The relatively intact peatland showed resilience towards disturbance of its hydrological integrity whereas the degraded peatland was susceptible to fire. Hydropedological modelling identified areas with good restoration potential based on predicted flooding depth and duration. Groundwater level prediction maps can be used in fire hazard warning systems as well as in land utilization and restoration planning. These maps are also attractive tools to move from the dominant uni-sectoral approach in peatland resource management toward a much more promising multi-sectoral approach involving various forestry, agriculture and environment agencies. It is demonstrated that the combination of hydrology and pedology is essential for wise use of valuable but threatened tropical peatland ecosystems.  相似文献

Recurrent monitoring of water wells is necessary to ensure that nitrate‐nitrogen (NO3‐N) concentrations in groundwater do not exceed 10 mg/L, the maximum contaminant level set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Continuous chemical analysis is often a time consuming and expensive process. A recently developed ‘Reflectoquant Analysis System’, which employs reflectometry techniques, may offer a simple and accurate method for NO3‐N analysis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ‘Reflectoquant Analysis System’ as an alternative method for determination of NO3‐N in well water. Water samples were collected from 42 wells in Oklahoma. The samples were analyzed using the ‘Reflectoquant Analysis System’, automated cadmium reduction (Griess‐Ilosvay), ion chromatography, and phenoldisulfonic acid procedures. The linear range of the ‘Reflectoquant Analysis System’ is 1.1 to 50.6 mg/L NO3‐N. Samples exceeding this range must be diluted before analysis is performed. Excluding two wells where NO3‐N was >50.6 mg/L, simple correlation was high (r > 0.91) among the four procedures evaluated. In addition, slopes and intercepts from linear regression of NO3‐N among procedures were not significantly different. Population means obtained using the four methods were very similar. For this sample of wells, the ‘Reflectoquant Analysis System’ was precise and provided NO3‐N analysis of water samples equivalent to standard methods. Other advantages of the ‘Reflectoquant Analysis System’ are short analytical times, reduced operator training period, and competitive costs compared to standard methods.  相似文献

The irrigation and nitrogen (N) requirements of potatoes (cv. Delaware) were determined using sprinklers in a line‐source design on a Spearwood sand. Irrigation water was applied at 73 to 244% of the daily pan evaporation (Epan) and N at 0 to 800 kg N ha‐1 (total applied) as NH4NO3 in 10 applications post‐planting. There was a significant yield (total and marketable) response to irrigation, at all levels of applied N, and N at all levels of applied water (P<0.001). The interaction between irrigation and N was also significant (P<0.001). There was no significant yield response to irrigation from 149% Epan (i.e., W3 treatment) to 244% Epan (i.e., W6 treatment). Irrigation at 125 and 150% of Epan was required for 95 and 99% of maximum yield, respectively, as determined from fitted Mitscherlich relationships. Critical levels of N required for 95 (417 kg ha‐1) and 99% (703 kg ha‐1) of maximum yield were also determined from a Mitschlerlich relationship fitted to the average of the W3 to W6 treatments. The percent total N and nitrate‐N in petioles of youngest fully expanded leaves required for 95 and 99% of maximum yield was 1.78 and 2.11, respectively, at the 10 mm tuber stage, and 0.25 and 0.80% at the 10mm plus 14 day stage (from quadratic regressions). There was a significant (P≤0.001) increase in N uptake by tubers with level of applied N from 57 kg ha‐1 at 0 kg applied N ha‐1 to 190 kg ha‐1 at 800 kg applied N ha‐1 (from a Mitscherlich relationship fitted to the average of W3 to W6 treatments). After accounting for N uptake from soil reserves (57 kg N ha‐1), apparent recovery efficiency (RE) of fertilizer N by tubers [RE=(Up‐Uo/Np) where Up=uptake of N by the crop, Uo=uptake in absence of applied N and Np is the level of applied N, expressed as a fraction] declined from 0.28 at 100 kg applied N ha‐1 to 0.17 at 800 kg applied N ha‐1. There was a linear increase in ‘after cooking darkening’ (i.e., greying) of tubers with increasing level of applied N. Conversely, ‘sloughing’ (i.e., disintegration) of tubers decreased (inverse polynomial) with increasing level of applied N. Rate of irrigation had no effect on these cooking qualities. Reducing applied irrigation and N from levels required for 99% of maximum yield to levels required for 95% of maximum yield would not lead to a significant reduction in profit. This would increase apparent recovery efficiency of applied N by plants, maintain tuber quality, and reduce the impact of potato production on the water systems of the Swan coastal plain.  相似文献

Abstract

Average urea release (UR) from two Osmocote fertilizers (40–0–0 and 41–0–0) in water at 38°C and in a simulated wetland system using Crowley soil under greenhouse conditions has been studied. UR from the Osmocote granules in water seemed to be a diffusion process controlled by urea concentration gradients. It was faster when the swelling of granules was restricted than when swelling of granules was not restricted. The UR‐time curves for both Osmocote fertilizers placed at different depths (0–1, 5–10, and 10–15 cm) in simulated wetland soil were different from those placed in water. UR in the soil was rather slow; therefore, these fertilizers may not be suitable for short‐ to medium‐duration wetland rice varieties.  相似文献

Purpose

The purposes of this study were to analyse the spatiotemporal variations in greenhouse gas diffusive fluxes at the sediment–water interface of sewage-draining rivers and natural rivers, and investigate the factors responsible for the changes in greenhouse gas diffusive fluxes.

Materials and methods

Greenhouse gas diffusive fluxes at the sediment–water interface of rivers in Tianjin city (Haihe watershed) were investigated during July and October 2014, and January and April 2015 by laboratory incubation experiments. The influence of environmental variables on greenhouse gas diffusive fluxes was evaluated by Spearman’s correlation analysis and a multiple stepwise regression analysis.

Results and discussion

Sewage-draining rivers were more seriously polluted by human sewage discharge than natural rivers. The greenhouse gas diffusive fluxes at the sediment–water interface exhibited obvious spatiotemporal variations. The mean absolute value of the CO2 diffusive fluxes was seasonally variable with spring>winter>fall>summer, while the mean absolute values of the CH4 and N2O diffusive fluxes were both higher in summer and winter, and lower in fall and spring. The annual mean values of the CO2, CH4 and N2O diffusive fluxes at the sewage-draining river sediment–water interface were ??123.26?±?233.78 μmol m?2 h?1, 1.88?±?6.89 μmol m?2 h?1 and 1505.03?±?2388.46 nmol m?2 h?1, respectively, which were 1.22, 4.37 and 134.50 times those at the natural river sediment–water interface, respectively. The spatial variation of the N2O diffusive fluxes in the sewage-draining rivers and the natural rivers was the most significant. As a general rule, the more serious the river pollution was, the greater the diffusive fluxes of the greenhouse gases were. On average for the whole year, the river sediment was the sink of CO2 and the source of CH4 and N2O. There were positive correlations among the CO2, CH4 and N2O diffusive fluxes. The main influencing factor for CO2 and N2O diffusive fluxes was the water temperature of the overlying water; however, the key factors for CH4 diffusive fluxes were the Eh of the sediment and the NH4+-N of the overlying water.

Conclusions

River sediment can be either a sink or a source of greenhouse gases, which varies in different levels of pollution and different seasons. Human sewage discharge has greatly affected the carbon and nitrogen cycling of urban rivers.
