Effect of Azolla Application and Plant Spacing on Rice Yield

Azolla is a small aquatic fern, that can be used as a green manure for irrigated rice before the transplanting of rice and under the rice crop. In a field experiment the interaction between Azolla application and rice spacing and its effect on the yield of rice in Azolla-rice dual culture were studied. The rice was planted in double-narrow-rows ([53 + 13] × 12cm) and in the regular 20 × 20cm spacing. Azolla was grown together with rice twice and also incorporated into the soil twice. Double-narrow-row planting slightly increased the Azolla growth, but reduced the grain yield due to the reduction of tillering by stronger competition between the rice plants. The Azolla application had no effect with double-narrow-rows. With 20 × 20cm spacing two Azolla crops had an effect equivalent to 15kg NH₄-N/ha. An appreciable amount of Azolla-N seemed to be available to the rice plants already 25 days after incorporation.     

Effect of Azolla as an Organic Source of Nitrogen in Rice-Wheat Cropping System

Increasing area under high yielding varieties require more quantity of fertilizers and other inputs for higher yield. However, utilization of available biomass could reduce the dependence on costly crop production inputs like fertilizers. In light of this, field experiments were carried out at Agricultural Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur for two years i.e. 1982–83 and 1983–84 to find out the possibilities to meet at least a part of nitrogen requirement through incorporation of Azolla in rice-wheat cropping system. Incorporation of 10 t/ha of fresh Azolla before planting + 30 kg N/ha through fertilizer as basal proved to be the best and recorded maximum land productivity in rice-wheat cropping system. This treatment recorded 117.69 and 103.30 per cent higher grain yield of rice and wheat respectively over control. About 30 kg N could be supplemented through preplanting incorporation of 5 t fresh Azolla. The result indicated that Azolla could be utilized as an alternative source of N-fertilizer for higher production of crops in rice-wheat cropping system.     

施石灰和秸秆还田对双季稻产量和氮素吸收的互作效应

红壤稻田面临土壤酸化和肥力偏低的双重挑战。施石灰和秸秆还田分别是稻田土壤酸化改良和培肥的有效措施,但二者的互作效应尚不清楚。本研究连续4年(2015—2018年)在江西省开展施石灰和秸秆还田双因素田间定位试验,旨在探明施石灰和秸秆还田对红壤双季稻田水稻产量和氮素吸收的互作效应。结果表明,施石灰和秸秆还田均显著提高了早、晚稻的产量和氮素吸收,且二者具显著的协同促进效应。秸秆还田下,施石灰使早稻产量和氮素吸收分别增加10.7%和15.5%;而在秸秆不还田下,增幅仅分别为4.4%和9.7%。秸秆还田下,石灰使晚稻产量和氮素吸收分别提高18.7%和24.6%;但在秸秆不还田下,增幅则分别为10.5%和5.7%。施石灰对早、晚稻产量和氮素吸收的促进效应随试验年限的增加而减弱。石灰对土壤pH值的提升效应随试验年限的延长显著降低。试验4年后,石灰对土壤有机质和全氮含量均无显著影响;秸秆还田显著提高了土壤有机质含量,而对全氮含量无显著影响。因此,秸秆还田配施石灰能够协同实现双季稻增产、土壤酸化改良与培肥。本研究表明在此酸性的红壤双季稻田上每4年左右施用一次石灰为宜。     

麦秸还田及氮肥管理技术对水稻产量的影响

以水稻武香粳14和扬粳9538为材,大田设麦秸还田与不还田、不施氮肥、习惯施肥法（FFP）和基于叶绿素仪(SPAD)测定值的氮肥管理(SSNM)等处理。结果表明,SSNM较FFP氮肥施用量减少40.0%~41.7%,而产量平均增加3.81%。秸秆还田的较秸秆未还田的产量平均增加2.49%。氮肥的农学利用率、吸收利用率和生理利用率均以秸秆还田高于秸秆不还田处理。与秸秆未还田或FFP相比,秸秆还田和SSNM降低了生育前期的分蘖数、叶面积指数和干物质积累（但抽穗及以后差异较小）;提高了茎蘖成穗率、结实期叶片光合速率和根系活力。说明秸秆还田和SSNM有利于生育后期群体光合生产和提高物质生产效率。秸秆还田和实地氮肥管理提高了氮收获指数和氮肥利用效率。对秸秆还田和SSNM的产量、生育特性及氮肥利用效率进行了讨论。     

Integrated Nitrogen Management with Green Manures in Rice-Chickpea Cropping System

A field experiment was conducted during wet and dry seasons of 1987–88 and 1988–89 to evaluate the performance of green manures with and without fertilizer nitrogen in lowland rice and their residual effect on succeeding crop of chickpea grown under rice-chickpea cropping system. Incorporation of Ipomea carnea (green leaves), Cassia tora and Parthenium hysterophorus (green young plants) ca. 5 t/ha fresh weight significantly improved yield and yield components namely panicles per hill, panicle length, grains per panicle and test weight of transplanted rice. The results showed that at least 20 kg/ha fertilizer nitrogen applied to rice could be replaced by incorporation of 5 t/ha fresh weight green manure. Supplementation of 60 kg N/ha through urea to the green manures treated plots proved to be the best in respect of grain yield and was comparable to the yield obtained under 80 kg N/ha as urea alone. Plant N-uptake followed the similar pattern of rice grain yield. Residual fertility in terms of available nitrogen increased under the green manure treatments, whereas urea nitrogen alone made no impact on fertility build-up. Green manures showed significantly higher residual response than fertilizer N alone to seed yield and N uptake of chickpea.     

Effect of Straw on Yield Components of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Under Rice-Rice Cropping System

Field experiments were conducted at the Directorate of Rice Research experimental farm, ICRISAT campus, Patancheru, Hyderabad, during 1998–2000 for five consecutive seasons (three wet and two dry seasons) with five treatments [T1 – 100 % straw incorporation; T2 – 50 % straw incorporation; T3 – 100 % straw + green manure (GM) incorporation; T4 – 100 % straw burning and T5 – 100 % straw removal (control)] along with the recommended dose of fertilizers to evaluate the effect of different crop residue management (CRM) practices on yield components and yield of rice in rice–rice cropping sequence. The ammonium N measured at active tillering was higher in 100 % straw‐added plots over 50 % straw addition and straw removal with maximum values in the straw + GM‐incorporated plots. Among the yield components, tillers, panicles and spikelets were influenced from the second season of residue incorporation with significant increase in 100 % straw‐added treatments. The increase in tiller and panicle number could be attributed to the increased NH₄‐N in these treatments, which is evident from the significant correlation between tiller number and NH₄‐N (r = 0.82**) and panicle number and NH₄‐N (r = 0.87**). The influence of residue treatments on rice grain yield was observed from the third season onwards where incorporation of straw alone or in combination with GM and burning of straw significantly increased grain and straw yields. Grain yield showed significant positive correlation with the number of tillers (r = 0.74*–0.81**) and panicles (r = 0.74*–0.84**) in three treatments (T1, T3 andT4) where grain yields were significantly higher. The regression analysis showed that 57–66 % and 64–75 % of the variation in yield could be explained by tillers and panicles together in these three treatments during wet and dry seasons respectively. Thus, CRM practices such as addition of 100 % straw either alone or with GM and straw burning influenced the yield components (tillers, panicles and spikelets) positively and thereby increased rice grain yields.     

再生稻种植产量差形成的研究

为明确安徽省沿江地区再生稻种植产量差形成的原因,筛选出该地区适宜的再生稻种植品种,以9个杂交水稻品种为试材,比较分析了其头季和再生季生育期、再生力、产量及其构成因素等性状。结果表明,在产量构成因素中,造成不同品种头季稻产量差异的主要因素是单位面积上的有效穗数;导致再生季产量差异的主要因素是单位面积上有效穗数和每穗着粒数。准两优608再生季单产5.27 t/hm~2,2季综合产量高达13.59 t/hm~2,可作为该地区再生稻种植的优选品种;皖稻119和新两优6号头季产量高,再生力较强,再生季产量潜力大,可以作为该地区再生稻种植的候选品种。研究表明,生产中可通过增加单位面积上有效穗数,主攻大穗,并在维持较高结实率的基础上提高千粒质量以实现再生季产量增加和获得2季综合高产。     

不同栽培方式和秸秆还田对水稻产量和营养品质的影响

为阐明水稻产量和营养品质在不同栽培方式和秸秆还田条件下的表现特性, 以两优培九(籼稻)为材料, 常规水作(CFC)为对照, 通过长期定位试验(2001—2010年)研究了覆膜旱作(PFMC)、裸地旱作(NMC)和秸秆还田对水稻产量、精米中蛋白质和氨基酸、糙米中铁和锌含量的影响。2008—2010三年试验结果(平均值)表明, 与CFC相比, PFMC能显著增加水稻产量, 增产幅度达8.0%, 精米中总氨基酸含量下降3.5%, 精米中蛋白质, 糙米中铁锌含量与CFC处理差异不显著; NMC处理产量显著下降5.1%, 蛋白质、总氨基酸和铁含量分别下降4.4%、9.3%和11.9%。秸秆还田较不还田处理, CFC条件下, 产量增加了113.6 kg hm^-2; NMC条件下, 产量增加142.6 kg hm^-2; PFMC条件下, 产量增加522.1 kg hm^-2; 三种栽培方式产量平均增加3.3%, 糙米中的铁和锌含量平均增加3.1%和6.4%, 精米中蛋白质和总氨基酸含量差异不显著。本试验结果表明, PFMC能显著提高水稻产量, 秸秆还田能显著提高水稻产量和稻米中铁、锌含量。     

麦秸还田与实地氮肥管理对直播水稻生长的影响

大田直播粳稻品种扬粳9538,设置麦秸还田与不还田、不施氮肥、习惯施肥法(FFP)和基于叶绿素仪(SPAD)测定值的实地氮肥管理(SSNM)处理。结果表明,SSNM的氮肥施用量较FFP减少30.0%~31.3%,产量较FFP平均增加7.61%,施氮区秸秆还田的产量较秸秆未还田的平均增加2.65%。与秸秆未还田或FFP相比,秸秆还田和SSNM降低生育前期的分蘖数、叶面积指数和干物质积累,但抽穗及以后各处理间差异较小。秸秆还田增加了叶片中有机酸含量,增大了田间昼夜温湿度差;秸秆还田和SSNM处理提高了茎蘖成穗率与ATP酶活性,增加了结实期叶片的光合速率以及根系活力,有利于直播水稻生育后期群体的光合生产和提高物质生产效率。对秸秆还田和SSNM的产量和生育特性进行了讨论。     

稻麦两熟制下秸秆还田模式的产量和经济效益分析

明确不同秸秆还田模式对小麦、水稻产量和经济效益的影响,对推广秸秆还田具有重要意义。利用稻麦复种长期田间定位试验2012-2018年的数据,分析了秸秆不还田（S0）、麦秸还田（WS）、稻秸还田（RS）和稻麦秸均还田（WRS）4种秸秆还田模式对作物产量、氮肥利用率、秸秆增产率、秸秆边际产量和秸秆农学利用率的影响。结果表明：秸秆还田均增加水稻产量,其中RS和WRS模式增产效果均显著大于WS模式;小麦产量随秸秆还田年限呈“减产-稳产-增产”的变化趋势。秸秆的周年增产率和农学利用率分别为5.65%~13.60%和0.11~0.17kg/kg。与RS模式相比,WRS模式属于秸秆过量还田,其秸秆增产效率降低。秸秆还田提高稻麦氮肥周年利用率1.67~4.01kg/kg,其中RS和WRS模式较WS模式更利于作物的氮吸收。WS、RS和WRS模式的稻田周年净收益较不还田模式分别增加1 690、4 875和4 177元/（hm²·年）,其中RS和WRS模式均显著高于WS模式。综合以上结果,麦季稻秸还田模式（RS）既可提高还田秸秆利用率,又可增加稻田净收益,推荐在稻麦两熟农田采用。     

中国气候变化对农作物育种策略影响探究

气候变化直接影响农作物产量,根据生产实际和气候特征,因地制宜选育农作物新品种,对保障中国粮食安全具有重要的意义。本文利用1979—2014年中国粮食主产区和西北地区气象站点数据及粮食产量数据,通过进一步的统计分析,明确粮食产量与气候变化特征。结果表明：中国东北地区、黄淮海地区、长江流域地区和西北地区年平均气温增幅均值分别为0.30℃/10 a、0.37℃/10 a、0.38℃/10 a和0.48℃/10 a,与粮食产量相关性显著;年平均气温空间上从南到北、从东到西呈降低趋势;由于热量资源分布不均导致各地区年降水量变化差异显著,但与粮食产量相关性不显著。粮食作物应以优质、高产、多抗以及适宜于机械化生产为原则,采用传统育种和现代分子生物学技术相结合的育种策略,重点提高东北地区水稻品种的耐涝性和抗倒性,黄淮海和长江流域地区水稻品种的耐高温性,西北地区晚稻品种的耐低温性,以及各地区小麦和玉米品种的耐旱性。     

Temperature Regime of Azolla under Rice

The effects of different rice canopies on the temperature regime of the Azolla plants and their immediate environment were studied in a paddy field in the Philippines.
Diurnal temperature cycles were measured in the field with thermocouples. Without rice plants Azolla temperature reached of up to 41°C, which was 6°C above air temperature. The rice canopy reduced the temperature of Azolla by up to 5°C. The relationship between the temperature of Azolla and of its environment (air and floodwater) is discussed. Differences between the two planting patterns of rice were obvious. With 20 × 20 cm spacing temperatures were reduced to a greater extend and at an earlier rice crop stage than with double-narrow-row spacing. Under extremely high temperatures the nee canopy may improve the conditions for the growth of Azolla.     

耕作与秸秆还田方式对稻田N2O排放、水稻氮吸收及产量的影响

保护性耕作是改善农田土壤肥力的重要举措,然而其对作物氮吸收与产量的作用尚不明确。为此,本试验于2016—2017年稻季在湖北省武穴市花桥镇,设置常规翻耕与免耕两种耕作方式以及前茬作物秸秆全量还田与不还田两种秸秆还田方法,研究耕作与秸秆还田方式对稻田土壤N2O排放、根系酶活性、水稻氮吸收与产量的影响。结果表明,耕作方式显著影响土壤N2O排放,但不影响根系硝酸还原酶与谷氨酰胺合成酶活性、水稻氮吸收与产量。与翻耕处理相比,免耕处理2016年和2017年土壤N2O排放量分别显著提高了12.5%~18.2%和21.1%~38.6%。秸秆还田显著影响土壤N2O排放量、根系酶活性、水稻氮吸收与产量。相对于秸秆不还田处理,秸秆还田处理2016年和2017年土壤N2O排放量分别显著提高了38.5%~45.5%和13.1%~29.5%。秸秆还田处理相对于不还田处理根系硝酸还原酶与谷氨酰胺合成酶活性分别显著增加了6.7%~45.9%和9.0%~46.7%,水稻氮吸收量提高了12.5%~26.0%,产量增加了9.4%~12.6%。本文认为,虽然秸秆还田提高了水稻氮吸收与产量,但也促进了土壤N2O的排放,因此在评估保护性耕作稻田温室效应时应加强对温室气体(CH4和N2O)排放和土壤碳固定影响的长期监测,以期为发展低碳稻作提供理论依据和技术支撑。     

秸秆还田与实地氮肥管理对水稻产量及品质的影响

以扬粳9538为材料,通过秸秆还田与氮素管理与秸秆不还田（对照）比较试验,研究了水稻产量及品质的表现。结果表明：秸秆还田与实地氮肥管理（SSNM）可以在减少氮肥施用量,秸秆全量还田的同时,增加水稻的产量,降低单位面积穗数,提高每穗粒数、结实率。秸秆还田与实地氮肥管理降低稻米的垩白米率、垩白度和直链淀粉含量,改善稻米的外观品质和营养品质,淀粉谱的最高粘度和崩解值增加,消减值减低,稻米食味品质得到改善,该技术同时减少穗分化前干物质积累,增加抽穗期光合速率、根系活力与ATP酶活性,促进同化物向籽粒的运转,减少茎杆中非结构性碳水化合物的残留。对秸秆还田与不同氮素管理在产量、品质上的差异进行了讨论。     

The Effect of Mulching,Tillage and Rotation on Yield in Non‐flooded Compared with Flooded Rice Production

Non‐flooded rice cultivation has been proven to be an effective measure to reduce water consumption in drought areas of Southeast China. However, rice cultivation under non‐flooded conditions leads to less stable productivity and lower grain yield. The objectives of this study were (1) to compare crop performance and yields among flooded and non‐flooded rice over several seasons, (2) to identify the yield performed in non‐flooded rice systems over seasons and whether the options which included no‐tillage, straw mulching and wet‐dry rotation system can narrow the grain yield gap between non‐flooded and traditional flooded condition. The results showed the difference between flooded rice (F) and non‐flooded rice (NF) with straw mulching was much lower than the difference between F and NF without straw mulching. Within late seasons, the difference of aboveground total biomass between non‐flooded rice without mulching and flooded rice gradually widened as the number of cropping seasons increased. Compared with the non‐flooded rice without mulching, straw mulching can reduce the decline of aboveground total biomass and grain yield. The yield difference between F and NF treatments became smaller in no‐tillage plots than complete tillage plots. It suggested that no‐tillage can keep the crop production more stable. In comparison with continuously non‐flooded cultivation, our study indicated that the wet‐dry rotation system can reduce the yield decline under non‐flooded condition.     

不同土壤耕作模式对双季水稻生理特性与产量的影响

为探明双季稻区不同土壤耕作模式下双季水稻生理特性、干物质积累及产量的变化,本文以双季稻–紫云英大田定位试验为平台,设双季水稻翻耕+秸秆还田(CT)、双季水稻旋耕+秸秆还田(RT)、双季水稻免耕+秸秆还田(NT)、双季水稻旋耕+秸秆不还田(RTO,对照)4种土壤耕作处理,于2016—2017年取样,系统分析了不同处理对双季水稻植株叶片保护性酶活性、光合特性、干物质积累及产量的影响。研究结果表明,早、晚稻各个主要生育时期CT和RT处理植株叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性均显著高于RTO处理(P0.05),而叶片丙二醛(MDA)含量均显著低于RTO处理(P0.05)。CT处理植株叶片的净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)和叶片气孔导度(Gs)均显著高于RTO处理(P0.05),均表现为CTRTNTRTO。CT和RT处理水稻植株物质生产能力强,干物质积累多,而且在各器官间的分配合理。2个年份的早稻产量均以CT处理最高,均显著高于RTO处理(P0.05),比RTO处理增加731.1～733.3 kg hm–2;晚稻产量均以CT处理为最高,均显著高于RTO处理(P0.05),比RTO处理增加582.5～717.6 kg hm–2。总之,土壤翻耕、旋耕结合秸秆还田处理有利于提高双季水稻叶片保护性酶活性、光合特性和干物质积累量,为水稻高产奠定了生理和生物学基础。     

Influence of Stubble Thickness, Carbohydrate Content and Leaf Senescence on Ratoon Rice

Experiment conducted with nine rice varieties during Pishanum season of 1989–90 revealed that Co 37 performed better in ratoon crop and recorded 3.2 t/ha grain yield. It was evident that the ratooning ability was influenced by stem thickness of stubble, carbohydrate content and leaf senescence of main crop. The study also suggests that by maintaining higher seed size and productive tiller in ratoon crop, there is ample possibilities to increase grain yield.     

江南双季稻区再生稻秸秆全量还田机械化种植模式

以江西省崇仁县再生稻生产调研为基础,总结分析了再生稻秸秆全量还田机械化种植模式的综合效益及其技术要点。该种植模式选用高产优质籼粳杂交稻品种甬优4949,通过头季稻留高茬收获,将秸秆切碎并均匀抛撒,适时追施促芽肥,控水灌溉,以及病虫草害防治,创新集成了适于江南双季稻区再生稻机械化栽培新模式。该模式不仅解决了蓄低位腋芽的秸秆还田难题,实现了秸秆全量还田,还解决了再生苗生育进程不一致和籽粒成熟度不一等问题。与常规模式相比,新型稻作模式头季和再生季水稻产量分别增加了12.7%和55.8%,周年净收入增加了6769.5元/hm²,经济效益显著。该模式避免了秸秆焚烧,可培肥土壤,实现优质丰产,是绿色高产高效的“一种两收”稻作新模式,适合在江南双季稻区大面积推广应用。     

江淮地区稻-麦周年产量差及其与资源利用关系

The Yangtze-Huaihe rivers region is an important production base of rice and wheat in China. It is necessary to clarify the differences and formation mechanism between different yield levels in the region, and to explore the limiting factors for regional grain production, which can provide scientific basis and reference for the management practices to reduce the annual yield gap in the Yangtze-Huaihe rivers region. Based on annual rice-wheat production situation, crop yield was divided into three different levels, farmer yields, experimental yields and high record yields. Yield gaps and the climate factors of different yield levels were quantified. Results showed that there were significant differences between farmer yields and experimental yields, high record yields of rice, wheat and annual in the Yangtze-Huaihe rivers region, which were 3315.9, 1537.5, and 4645.6 kg hm^-2, 7498.6, 3977.9, and 9840.9 kg hm^-2, respectively. Compared with the experimental yields, the farmer yields of rice, wheat and annual had yield increase potential of 46.2%, 29.7% and 37.3%, and 104.5%, 77.0% and 79.0% in comparison with the high record yields, respectively. The number of grains per spike was the main factor resulting in the yield difference in rice, and the grain numbers per spike and the number of spikes contributed to the yield difference in wheat. Compared with the farmer average yield, the grain numbers per spike of rice in experimental yields and high record yields were increased by 30.4% and 116.1%, respectively; the spikes and grain numbers per spike of wheat were increased by 40.9%, 70.0% and 21.8%, 19.6%, respectively. Reducing the yield gaps mainly depended on increasing the grain numbers per spike for rice, and synergistic improvement in the number of spikes and the grain numbers per spike for wheat. Cumulative radiation and low accumulated temperature during the growth period were the main climatic factors affected rice production, while excessive rainfall was the main climatic factor affected wheat production. The results suggested that in order to strengthen rice production and stabilize wheat production was an effective way to increase the annual grain production in the Yangtze-Huaihe rivers region.     

简化施肥对免耕冬水田不同杂交中稻/再生稻产量的影响

为探明免耕冬水田条件下简化施肥对不同杂交稻品种头季、再生季以及两季产量的影响,以及筛选出两季高产品种应用于生产。2016—2017年,以18个杂交中稻品种为材料,在免耕冬水田施纯氮120 kg/hm²条件下,设置简化施肥（一次基施N）和常规施肥（基肥：蘖肥：穗肥=5:3:2比例平衡施N）2种氮肥管理方式,研究其对中稻-再生稻产量的影响。结果表明,2种氮肥管理方式对头季产量、再生季产量和两季总产的影响均未达到显著水平,简化施肥处理的头季稻产量、再生季产量和两季总产分别为9.46 t/hm²、1.50 t/hm²和10.96 t/hm²,较常规施肥处理的产量分别增加1.40%,-6.77%和0.20%。18个品种间头季产量、再生季产量和两季总产差异均达极显著水平,18个品种头季、再生季和两季总产的产量变幅分别为8.70~10.19 t/hm²,0.59~2.29 t/hm²和10.21~11.57 t/hm²。头季产量和再生季产量呈极显著负相关(r=0.61)。两季总产与头季有效穗、每穗颖花数、结实率、千粒重和再生季有效穗偏相关系数均达极显著水平,并建立回归方程。因此,采用一次基施的简化施肥方式是免耕冬水田水稻实现高产、省工的有效途径,选择穗粒兼顾型品种有利于实现中稻/再生稻两季高产,并筛选出两季高产和高氮肥偏生产力品种‘旌优727’、‘旌3优177’、‘内6优103’和‘内6优107’,可在试验所在生态区中稻-再生稻种植中推广应用。
