Growth and composition of cabbage as affected by nitrogen nutrition

Abstract

The effect of cultivar and rate of N application on nitrate accumulation in cabbage (Brassica oleracea capitata, L.) was investigated in a field study. At harvest, significant differences in nitrate accumulation among cultivars occurred, with the greatest differences occurring at the highest rate of N applied, 450 kg N/ha. Two of three straight‐leaved varieties, Market Prize and Market Victor, accumulated more nitrate than three savoy‐leaved varieties, Savoy Ace, Savoy King, and Chieftain Savoy. The third straight‐leaved variety studied, Harris Resistant Danish, accumulated the least nitrate. Pattern of nitrate accumulation was closely correlated with date of maturity, with the earliest‐maturing variety, Market Victor, accumulating the highest levels of nitrate, and the latest‐maturing variety, Harris Resistant Danish, accumulating the least nitrate. For all six varieties, outer wrapper‐leaf samples showed higher nitrate levels than head samples.

In a second study, the effect of cultivar, N source, and nitrapyrin on yield and nutritional status of cabbage was studied under greenhouse conditions. The six cabbage cultivars showed no significant differences in nitrate accumulation after 65 days. The presence of 10 ppm of nitrapyrin, 2‐chloro‐6‐(trichloromethyl) pyridine, resulted in a restriction in fresh and dry weight production in cabbage. No visual, foliar symptoms of nitrapyrin toxicity were evident. Calcium levels were reduced in the presence of nitrapyrin regardless of N source. Adding nitrapyrin had no sign:ficant effect on Mg concentration, and highest Mg levels occurred under ammonium nutrition. Potassium levels were increased in the presence of nitrapyrin when the soil was not supplemented with K, whereas differences in K content due to the inhibitor were insignificant when KNO₃ was supplied.     

Soil factors influencing fruit quality and mineral composition of leaves of valencia orange trees

Abstract

In a fertilizer trial in a Valencia orange orchard, two soil types were distinguished: a poorly aerated loamy sand (A) and sandy clay loam (B). Mineral composition of leaves and fruit quality characteristics differed significantly in the two soil types, regardless of the fertilizer treatments. Fruits on the sandy clay loam were larger, had a thicker peel, and contained more total acids and vitamin C in the juice, and were less affected by a peel disorder (creasing). The leaves of such trees contained more K and Mg and less Ca and P.     

Effect of light and water stress on mineral element composition of plants 1

Many factors affect the composition of mineral elements in plants. The effects of many of these factors, such as element concentration, temperature, pH, plant part, plant age, metabolic inhibitors, element interactions, fertilizer, and type of soil, have been studied extensively by many scientists who are concerned with plant mineral nutrition. However, relatively few studies have focused on the effects of light and water stress. The objective of this review was to consider some of the effects that light and water stress have on the mineral element composition of plants.     

生物质炭对不同pH值土壤矿质氮含量的影响

为了揭示生物质炭作为土壤调理剂添加后对土壤矿质氮形态、含量等土壤性质的影响,该研究利用芒草分别在350和700℃裂解制得生物质炭,发现2个温度尤其是700℃制得的生物质炭,对NH4+有很强的吸附能力,但对NO3-的吸附能力很弱。将生物质炭分别加入到酸性(pH值为3.8)和碱性(pH值为7.6)土壤中,25℃下室内培养180d。结果表明,生物质炭提高了土壤全氮含量,酸性和碱性土壤分别平均提高了22%和17%;但使土壤铵态氮含量大幅降低至接近仪器检测限水平;生物质炭对土壤硝态氮含量的影响因生物质炭和土壤类型而异。生物质炭对土壤矿质氮形态和含量的影响,显然与生物质炭对铵的吸附作用、提高土壤pH值、增强氨挥发损失,以及形成微生物量氮等密切相关。该研究可为开展生物质炭基氮素新型肥料及制剂等方面的科学研究提供参考。     

Influence of level and source of Fe on growth and nutrient content of Euglena gracilis

Abstract

Growth parameters and Fe, Cu, Mn and N status of Euglena gracilis cells were determined as a function of level and source of Fe supply in the nutrient environment. Use of FeEDDHA promoted cell division while FeSO₄·lb7H₂O promoted cell enlargement after 7 days. Greatest N content was present in rapidly dividing as compared to enlarging cells. Copper content was directly related to cell size with larger cells containing more Cu than smaller cells. Manganese uptake was inversely related to Fe supply with FeSO₄·lb7H₂O inhibiting Mn uptake to a greater extent than chelated Fe. Iron uptake increased significantly with the addition of iorganic or chelated Fe. The Fe uptake was comparable from both sources at the 1 ppm Fe level of supply, but much greater amounts of Fe were accumulated from inorganic supply at the 10 ppm Fe level.     

芋对氮磷钾吸收分配规律的研究

芋幼苗期对氮磷钾的吸收较少,发棵期和球茎膨大期吸收速率迅速增加,球茎膨大后期吸收积累速率又有所下降。总的来说,芋植株对钾的吸收最多,氮次之,磷最少,全生育期对氮磷钾的总吸收比例为1∶0.28∶1.1。幼苗期和发棵前期氮磷钾主要分布在叶片和叶柄中;其中,氮以叶片中居多,而磷和钾则以叶柄中居多。发棵后期和球茎膨大期主要分配在芋球茎中,其中氮磷的分配率为子芋大于孙芋,而钾则是孙芋中分配多于子芋。     

Effect of different fertilizers on nitrogen isotope composition and nitrate content of Brassica campestris

The effect of different fertilizers on the δ(15)N value, nitrate concentration, and nitrate reductase activity of Brassica campestris and the δ(15)N value of soil has been investigated through a pot experiment. The δ(15)N mean value of B. campestris at the seedling stage observed in the composted chicken treatment (+8.65‰) was higher than that of chemical fertilizer treatment (+5.73‰), compost-chemical fertilizer (+7.53‰), and control check treatment (+7.86‰). There were significantly different δ(15)N values (p < 0.05) between B. campestris cultivated with composted chicken manure treatment and with chemical fertilizer treatment. The similar results were also found at the middle stage and the terminal stage. The variation of δ(15)N value in soil for different treatments was smaller than that of B. campestris, which was +6.71-+8.12‰, +6.83-+8.24‰, and +6.85-8.4‰, respectively, at seedling stage, middle stage, and terminal stage. With the growth of B. campestris, the nitrate content decreased in all treatments, and the nitrate reductase activity in B. campestris increased except for the CK. Results suggested that the δ(15)N values of B. campestris and soil were more effected by the fertilizer than by the dose level, and the δ(15)N value analysis could be used as a tool to discriminate the B. campestris cultivated with composted manure or chemical fertilizer.     

Adjustment of mineral ratio and composition in rice genotypes under varied salinity regimes

A study of the salinity effect on mineral content in rice genotypes differing in salt tolerance was conducted in a factorial Completely Randomized Design experiment. The results indicated that the genotypes developed differently by mutation conventional breeding. NS15 represented as salt-sensitive, Pokkali was included as an internationally salt-tolerant check and Iratom24 was moderately tolerant. The content of Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺ and Cl^? followed an increasing pattern in roots and shoots of all the rice genotypes due to increasing salinity levels except Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ in the root. However, the concentration of K⁺ showed more or less an increasing pattern in root and a decreasing pattern in shoot. The concentration of Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ sharply increased with increasing the salinity levels in both the roots and shoots of NS15. The concentration of K⁺ sharply decreased in shoot and increased in the root of susceptible genotype NS15 with increasing salinity over 6 dS m^?1 salinity levels, where the transformation of K⁺ from root to shoot was disrupted by Na⁺. The Cl^? content sharply increased with increasing salinity in the root of NS15 as compared to shoot. The effect of different salinity levels on Na⁺/K⁺ ratio in the shoots of the selected rice genotypes sharply increased in susceptible genotype NS15 as compared to the other genotypes.

为明确适合烤烟生长并降低土壤氮素损失的滴灌施氮策略,为烤烟生产提供理论指导。以烤烟品种K326为材料,在盆栽条件下,研究了滴灌施氮对烤烟氮素积累、分配和利用及土壤无机氮含量与分布的影响。结果表明:移栽后28 d滴灌追氮一次,增加追氮比例,叶片的氮素含量、氮素积累量和分配比例增加,根和茎的氮素积累量和分配比例降低,烟株表观氮素利用率提高;土壤无机氮含量升高,土壤无机氮的表观盈余量降低。移栽时施氮50%,移栽后28和42 d滴灌追氮两次的氮素利用率显著高于追氮一次处理;而追氮比例为70%和90%时,氮素利用率低于追氮一次处理。移栽后滴灌追氮两次提高了距滴注点垂直距离5～20 cm和水平距离15～20 cm土层的土壤无机氮含量,降低了距滴注点垂直距离20～25 cm土层的土壤无机氮含量。从烟株氮素利用,土壤无机氮分布及盈余量等方面考虑,移栽时施氮50%,移栽后28 d滴灌追氮35%,42 d滴灌追氮15%可作为生产中参考的滴灌施肥制度。     

Effect of variety on nutrient composition of field corn

Abstract

Significant varietal differences in plant nutrient content have been reported in the literature which would make extremely difficult the interpretation of plant analysis results for diagnosing plant nutritional problems. This investigation was conducted to analyze a relatively large number of uniformly fertilized commercially grown corn (Zea mays) varieties for possible differences in N, P, K, Ca, and Mg concentrations. Whole young plants 60 to 90 cm tall and ear leaves collected at tassel ling were chemically analyzed.

Varietal differences in the concentrations of N, P, K, and Ca in field corn were statistically significant. Varietal differences in Mg concentrations were significant in three out of the six sets of data.

In spite of statistical significance, plant nutrient concentrations were found to be within expected limits for the morphological parts and growth stages examined except for ear leaf P levels in two varieties. These varieties (P.A.G. SX 29 and Pioneer 3304) apparently were capable of accumulating high levels of P, but only when ear leaf P concentrations were generally high for all varieties indicating excessive soil P levels.

The majority of corn varieties tested contained relatively uniform nutrient levels and were not significantly different from one another. The usual bell‐shaped frequency distribution curves indicated normal distributions of plant nutrient contents. Varietal differences in nutrient concentrations were generally not found to be large enough to interfere with interpretation of plant analysis results (except possibly for P accumulation in the two varieties mentioned above). But, there was no indication that critical phosphorus levels were higher in P accumulating varieties than in other varieties.

有机-无机肥配施对水稻产量、品质及氮素吸收的影响

通过田间试验,研究氮施用量相同的条件下,有机肥和化肥不同比例（有机肥氮分别占100%、70%、40%、20%和0%）,对早稻、晚稻及单季稻施用对水稻产量、品质和氮素吸收的影响。结果表明,有机肥氮为40%、20%、40%时,早稻、晚稻和单季稻产量最高,分别比单施化肥区增8.5%、2.8%和4.6%。有机肥氮在20%～40%之间,稻米品质较佳,比例过高则稻米易碎、垩白上升和蛋白质含量下降。有机肥氮为20%水稻氮素累积量最高,有利于氮素的吸收、利用。
