Quantification of Humic and Fulvic Acids,Macro- and MicroNutrients and C/N Ratio in Organic Fertilizers

Humic substances are the main responsible for soil conditioning and are one of the major components of the composting product. However, there is still little information about their composition and mechanisms of activity. This study aimed to evaluate quantitatively the humic and fulvic fraction by size-exclusion liquid chromatography and the metal content by atomic absorption spectrometry. The chromatographic method used was efficient for humic and fulvic acids quantitation. Levels of 1.73 ± 0.03 and 1.6 ± 0.5 g kg^?1 were found for chicken manure regarding humic and fulvic acids, respectively, and 5.1 ± 0.9 and 1.2 ± 0.1 g kg^?1 for peat. The metal contents indicated the need of a mineral enrichment, because only the levels of iron reached the minimum recommended by legislation. It was also observed that evaluated organic fertilizers were in accordance with the specifications established by legislation in relation to carbon and total nitrogen and the pathogen levels.     

金属离子在铁(氢)氧化物与腐殖质微界面上的吸附机理和模型研究进展

铁(氢)氧化物和腐殖质是广泛分布在土壤中的重要天然活性物质,因其具有较大的比表面积并且铁(氢)氧化物表面的-OH与腐殖质表面的-COOH、-OH等活性官能团可通过静电作用、配体交换等多种机制对重金属离子产生较强吸附,从而影响重金属离子在环境中的迁移、转化和生物效应。深入了解重金属离子在铁(氢)氧化物-腐殖质复合体微界面相互作用的分子机理,对于阐明重金属离子在环境中的迁移、转化过程具有重要意义。本文综述了金属离子在铁(氢)氧化物与腐殖质上吸附机理和模型的研究进展,为重金属污染土壤的风险评估和控制提供理论依据。

有机肥与尿素配施对设施土壤盐分含量与组成变化的影响

通过室内模拟培养试验,研究了有机肥与尿素配施对设施土壤盐分的影响。结果表明：（1）设施土壤的含盐量和电导率均随着施肥后培养时间的延长,呈先升高后降低再升高的趋势,培养15～30d较高,30—60d降低,60d后又缓慢升高。设施土壤含盐量与有机肥施用量呈极显著正相关,而与尿素用量无明显的相关性;电导率则与尿素和有机肥施用量均有极显著正相关。（2）施用尿素不同程度增加了K＋、Na＋、Ca2＋、Mg2＋,NO3-的含量,施用有机肥显著增加了K＋、Na＋、Cl-的含量,设施和露地土壤盐分总量和离子组成差异不显著。另外研究了土壤盐分总量和电导率分别与K＋、Na＋、Ca2＋、Mg2＋、SO4^2-、Cl-等含量的相关性,均呈极显著正相关。     

茶多酚浓度对土壤pH、酚酸及铁铝形态转化的影响

选取雅安市名山区茶园集中分布区的紫色土、黄壤和水稻土为研究对象,向土壤中加入不同浓度的茶多酚,培养3个月后,测定土壤pH值、总酚、水溶性酚、活性铁、络合铁、活性铝、络合铝的含量,分析其变化情况,探讨茶多酚浓度对土壤pH、酚酸及铁铝形态转化的影响,为茶园土壤管理提供科学依据。结果表明:添加茶多酚后,3种土壤均发生酸化现象,其中的紫色土和水稻土添加低浓度茶多酚便可显著酸化,而黄壤只有在添加高浓度茶多酚的条件下才显著酸化。添加高浓度的茶多酚可显著提高3种土壤总酚和水溶性酚含量;添加低浓度茶多酚时,紫色土总酚含量也显著升高,黄壤总酚含量却显著下降,水稻土总酚含量变化不显著。添加茶多酚对黄壤和水稻土活性铁含量无显著影响,但添加高浓度茶多酚可显著降低紫色土活性铁含量;添加茶多酚可显著提高黄壤络合铁含量,但对紫色土和水稻土络合铁含量无显著影响。添加茶多酚可显著降低水稻土的活性铝含量,但对紫色土和黄壤活性铝含量无显著影响,对3种土壤络合铝均无显著影响。土壤酚酸形态和含量可影响土壤酸化及铁铝形态转化。     

Influence of Different Forms of Iron and Aluminum on the Nature of Soil Acidity of Some Inceptisols,Alfisols, and Ultisols

Abstract

Fifteen acid soils of Mizoram representing Ultisols and Inceptisols, and Madhya Pradesh, representing Alfisols, were studied to characterize the nature of acidity in relation to different forms of iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al). The mean contents of Fe and Al were extracted by various extracting reagents and were found to be in descending order as followed: dithionite>oxalate>pyrophosphate>ammonium acetate>KCl. The electrostatically bonded EB‐H⁺ and EB‐Al³⁺ acidity comprised 28.3 and 71.7% of exchangeable acidity whereas EB‐H⁺, EB‐Al³⁺, exchangeable, and pH‐dependent acidities comprised 9.8, 30.7, 40.5, and 59.5% of total potential acidity. All forms, of acidity showed significant correlation with pH_k and organic carbon. Among the different forms, Fe and Al caused most of the variations in different forms of soil acidity but the effect of different forms of Al are more active and directly participate in the formation of EB‐H⁺, EB‐Al³⁺, and exchangeable acidity.     

Iron deficiency of soybean in the North Central U.S. and associated soil properties

Despite extensive research and variety screening efforts, iron deficiency chlorosis is a common, yield-limiting condition for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] grown in areas with high pH, calcareous soils. In the North Central U.S., total land area where soybean is grown on high pH soils is approximately 1.8 million ha, with iron deficiency responsible for an estimated loss in soybean grain production of 340,000 Mg at a value of $820 million per annum. This is a significant increase in the extent of iron deficiency problems relative to the past because of an expansion of soybean production in the region. Soil properties associated with iron deficiency in this region compared to adjacent areas without iron deficiency include greater soil moisture content and concentrations of soluble salts, carbonates, and DTPA-Cr, and lesser concentrations of DTPA-Fe, Mn, Ni, and Cd. Iron deficiency occurs due to multiple stresses and not simply to limited available iron. Biotic and management factors such as pests and diseases, symbiotic nitrogen fixation, seeding rate, and herbicide application also interact with iron deficiency in the field. There is a need to better match varieties to the specific soil and environmental conditions to which they are adapted.     

Optimal Level of Iron and Zinc in Relation to Its Influence on Herb Yield and Production of Essential Oil in Menthol Mint

Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted under glasshouse conditions during 2004 at the Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP) in Lucknow. The study presented here was aimed at evaluating the response of Mentha arvensis (cv. Kushal), an essential oil–bearing plant, to different concentrations of zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) supply with respect to their influence on biomass, oil yield, and oil quality. Suckers of Japanese mint were grown with four graded levels each of Fe and Zn (viz. 0, 5.0, 10.0, 25.0 mg Fe kg^?1 and 0, 2.5, 5.0, 15.0 mg Zn kg^?1) and a combination of both the elements. The results indicated that the fresh weight, oil content, and chlorophyll content increased significantly with increase in Fe supply; the optimum level was recorded as 10 mg Fe kg^?1. Iron uptake increased significantly with increases in its supply. Zinc, when applied singly, showed enhancement in growth parameters, but the effects were nonsignificant. The optimal levels of supply for Zn and Fe in M. arvensis was evaluated to be 5 mg Zn kg^?1 and 10 mg Fe kg^?1, respectively.     

Waterlogging Induces High to Toxic Concentrations of Iron,Aluminum, and Manganese in Wheat Varieties on Acidic Soil

Six wheat varieties with different tolerance to waterlogging were studied in acidic soil (pH 4.5), neutral soil, and potting mix (pH 6.7–7.8) under controlled conditions. Waterlogging for 49 d reduced shoot dry weight by 48% to 85% compared with drained treatments. The ranking of varieties for waterlogging changed under different soils, and this change explains why waterlogging tolerance of these varieties may vary in different environments. In waterlogged acidic soil, shoot concentrations of aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe) increased by two- to 10-fold, and in some varieties they were above critical concentrations compared with plants in drained soil. These elements decreased or remained the same in shoots of plants grown in waterlogged neutral soil. Marginal nitrogen (N) deficiency was induced in most varieties in all soil types. The results support the importance of screening in soils from the target environment for accurate germplasm characterization for waterlogging tolerance.     

Organic Amendment Effects on the Transformation and Fractionation of Aluminum in Acidic Sandy Soil

Addition of organic amendments can alleviate the level of aluminum (Al) phytotoxicity in acid soils by affecting the nature and quantity of Al species. This study evaluated the transformation of Al in an acidic sandy Alaquod soil amended with composts (10 and 50 g kg^?1 soil of yard waste, yard + municipal waste, GreenEdge^®, and synthetic humic acid) based on soil Al fractionation by single and sequential extractions. Though the organic compost amendments increased total Al in soil, they alleviated Al potential toxicity in acidic soil by increasing soil pH and converting exchangeable Al to organically bound and other noncrystalline fractions, stressing the benefits of amending composts to improve acid soil fertility. The single‐extraction method appears to be more reliable for exchangeable Al than sequential extraction because of the use of nonbuffered pH extract solution.     

有机肥施用对红地球葡萄产量、品质及土壤环境的影响

【目的】明确有机肥施用对河北葡萄主产区高产优质红地球葡萄产量、品质及土壤环境的影响,为葡萄种植合理施用有机肥提供理论依据。【方法】以河北张家口市怀来县葡萄试验示范基地13年生红地球葡萄为试验材料,进行为期4年的田间试验。设置6个处理,分别为农民传统施肥(CK)、单施化肥(NPK)、单施有机肥9 t/hm^2 (M)、有机肥7.5 t/hm^2+化肥(M1NPK)、有机肥15 t/hm^2+化肥(M2NPK)、有机肥45 t/hm^2+化肥(M3NPK),采用常规方法测定葡萄产量、品质、重金属含量及果园土壤中硝态氮、微生物量碳和氮、重金属含量,并对葡萄园土壤重金属累积达到限量所需年限进行推算。【结果】施用有机肥处理葡萄产量均显著高于单施化肥(NPK),其中以中量有机肥+化肥处理(M2NPK)的产量最高,4年(2010-2013)平均产量为21503kg/hm^2,较农民传统施肥(CK)提高了14%;施用有机肥处理葡萄Vc含量比对照显著增加。各处理间葡萄百粒重、pH、可溶性固形物、可滴定酸和固酸比差异不显著。收获后M2NPK处理0-20 cm和20-40 cm土壤硝态氮累积量下降,土壤微生物生物量碳、氮含量显著高于CK。连续4年施用有机肥后,葡萄果实及果园土壤的重金属含量(Cr、Cd、As、Pb、Hg、Cu、Zn)均未超标,但随着有机肥施用量的增加,葡萄及土壤中的重金属分别呈现线性和二次函数累积趋势。M3NPK处理土壤重金属含量较其他施用有机肥处理提前累积到限量水平。【结论】中量有机肥+化肥(M2NPK)处理葡萄的产量最高,品质最佳,而且降低了土壤硝态氮在各土层的累积,增加了土壤微生物生物量碳、氮含量,且葡萄果实和果园土壤重金属含量未超标。高量有机肥处理不会进一步提高红地球葡萄的产量和品质,但快速增加果园土壤重金属累积。     

Quantification of Inorganic Anions in Tea (Camellia Sinensis (L) O. Kuntze) Tissues and Soil Using Ion Chromatography Coupled with Conductivity Detector

A simple ion chromatographic method is proposed for the simultaneous quantification of five inorganic anions in samples derived from tea system with a suppressed conductivity detector. For this purpose extracts of leaves, roots and soils of tea obtained at room temperature yielded chromatographic profiles with substantial differences in the relative contents of fluoride (F^?), chloride (Cl^?), nitrate (NO₃^?) and sulfate (SO₄ ^2-). Although Cl^? and SO₄^2- were common to each extracted sample in different categories and accounted for the majority of the anions present, one additional anion peak was detected in root and leaf tissues. Irrespective of the clone and sample investigated the average F^? content varied from 253 to 1664 mg kg^?1, Cl^? varied between 60 and 1789 mg kg^?1, NO₃^? varied from 119 to 188 mg kg^?1 and SO₄^2- varied between 55 and 6779 mg kg^?1. The anionic load was at its crest in clone UPASI – 3 in all the three categories of samples with few exceptions. Among the samples investigated, tea roots contained a considerable amount of major anions, while tea soils had the lowest amount of the detected anions. The recovery of all the quantified anions was above 95%. The correlation coefficient for all anions where above 99.50%. The concentration of nitrite (NO₂^?) was below the limits of detection based on the analytical technique adopted. Anion nitrate was not detected in tea root and tea leaf extracts.     

Comparison of Phosphorus Determination Methods by Ion Chromatography and Molybdenum Blue Methods

The suppressed ion chromatography (IC) and molybdenum blue methods were used to comparatively evaluate phosphorus (P) concentrations. Most of the P was more resistant to hydrolysis in ion chromatography as compared to the molybdenum blue method. However, P analysis by IC is more liable to be interfered than the molybdenum blue method because of the presence of high bivalent and trivalent metal ions. Polyvalent metal ions interfere with organic P hydrolysis or the release of P from colloids during P investigation, which leads to a difference of ortho-phosphate concentrations determined by IC and molybdenum blue methods. During the environmental samples analysis, the ortho-phosphate obtained by the IC method was usually less than that obtained by the molybdenum blue method.     

Related Characteristics and Multivariate Analyses in the Evaluation of White Oat Aluminum Tolerance

Standard white oat genotypes were subjected to different methods and aluminum (Al) levels under hydroponic conditions to verify the relationship between plantlet characteristics and their Al tolerance using multivariate analyses. A completely randomized design with three replications was used, adopting three evaluation protocols: “complete nutrient solution” with 0, 8, 16, and 32 mg L^?1 of Al supplied as aluminum sulfate [Al₂(SO₄)₃·18H₂O]; “complete nutrient solution” with 0, 8, 16 and 32 mg L^?1 of Al supplied as aluminum chloride (Al₂Cl₃?6H₂O); and the “minimum nutrient solution” with 0, 1, 3, and 5 mg L^?1 of Al supplied as Al₂Cl₃?6H₂O. The performance of white oat plantlet genotypes subjected to excess Al in hydroponic conditions is greatly associated with root length, where the nutrient solution composition and the Al sources interfere in these associations. The study based on the joint analysis of characteristics at plantlet level does not allow an efficient discrimination of Al-tolerant and Al-sensitive white oat genotypes.     

Iron Toxicity in Wetland Rice and the Role of Other Nutrients

Abstract

Iron (Fe) toxicity is a widespread nutrient disorder of wetland rice grown on acid sulfate soils, Ultisols, and sandy soils with a low cation exchange capacity, moderate to high acidity, and active Fe (easily reducible Fe) and low to moderately high in organic matter. Iron toxicity reduces rice yields by 12–100%, depending on the Fe tolerance of the genotype, intensity of Fe toxicity stress, and soil fertility status. Iron toxicity can be reduced by using Fe-tolerant rice genotypes and through soil, water, and nutrient management practices. This article critically assesses the recent literature on Fe toxicity, with emphasis on the role of other plant nutrients, in the occurrence of and tolerance to Fe toxicity in lowland rice and puts this information in perspective for future research needs. The article emphasizes the need for research to provide knowledge that would be used for increasing rice production on Fe-toxic wetlands on a sustainable basis by integration of genetic tolerance to Fe toxicity with soil, water, and nutrient management.     

矿物质调理剂中铝的稳定性及其对酸性土壤的改良作用

通过室内土壤培养试验和模拟酸雨浸泡试验,研究了3种含铝量不同的矿物质调理剂中铝的稳定性及其对酸性土壤的改良效果。该类调理剂是利用钾长石、白云石和石灰石等合理配伍后经高温焙烧而制得,呈弱碱性,富含有效钙、镁、钾、硅等营养元素。试验结果表明,施入0.5~2 g/kg调理剂培养60 d后,土壤pH由4.98升高到5.04~5.42,交换性铝含量下降37.40%~68.90%,吸附态羟基铝含量稍有增加,但毒害性铝和活性铝总量分别降低了5.37%~9.50%和4.33%~12.08%,提高土壤中交换性钙、镁、钾和有效硅的含量。同时模拟酸雨浸泡试验中铝溶出量明显降低。该类矿物质调理剂能中和土壤酸度、缓解铝毒和增加土壤养分;调理剂中铝稳定性较高,不会对土壤铝毒产生叠加效应,可安全应用于农业生产。     

猪粪与农田土壤中重金属累积污染的相关分析

为调查猪粪和农田土壤中Cu、Zn、As、Hg、Cr、Cd、Pb、Ni 8种重金属元素的累积和相关关系,文章抽取了30篇已发表文献中关于8种重金属的浓度数据进行分析。原始分析包括上海周边、浙江、江苏、福建、山东、陕西、山西、青海、北京、河南、吉林、湘江下游、河北保定、广东东莞、新疆乌鲁木齐和石河子等地,共包括超过2 000个猪粪样品和1 700个土壤样品,取其中的均值共550个进行分析。分析发现:猪粪中Cu超标最严重,Zn次之;土壤中Cu、Zn累积不多,但是多来自猪粪;土壤中Cd超标最为严重,其次为Cr,且主要污染源不是来自猪粪。     

肥料重金属含量状况及施肥对土壤和作物重金属富集的影响

本文对肥料中重金属的含量状况以及施肥对土壤和农作物重金属累积影响的研究进展进行了系统分析和总结。过磷酸钙中锌（Zn）、 铜（Cu）、 镉（Cd）、 铅（Pb）含量高于氮肥、 钾肥和三元复合肥,有机-无机复混肥料中的Pb含量高于其他化肥。有机肥如畜禽粪便、 污泥及其堆肥中的重金属含量高于化肥,猪粪中的Cu、 Zn、 砷（As）、 Cd含量明显高于其他有机废弃物,鸡粪中铬（Cr）含量高;污泥和垃圾堆肥中Pb或汞（Hg）含量高。商品有机肥Zn、 Pb和镍（Ni）含量高于堆肥,Hg含量高于畜禽粪便。多数研究表明,氮磷钾配施与不施肥相比土壤Cd和Pb含量增加,施用有机肥比不施肥提高土壤Cu、 Zn、 Pb、 Cd含量。施用化肥对农作物重金属富集的影响不明确,而施用有机肥可提高作物可食部位Cu、 Zn、 Cd、 Pb 的含量,影响大小与有机肥种类、 用量、 土壤类型和pH以及作物种类等有很大关系。在今后的研究中应着重以下几个方面, 1）典型种植体系下土壤重金属的投入/产出平衡; 2）不同种植体系下长期不同施肥措施对土壤重金属含量、 有效性影响的动态趋势; 3）典型种植体系和施肥措施下土壤对重金属的最高承载年限; 4）现有施肥措施下肥料中重金属的最高限量标准。
