土壤保持耕作——全球农业可持续发展优先领域

 从农业活动对全球变化以及对农业可持续发展的影响进而导致全球性土壤保持需求的迫切性增加出发，追踪了国外土壤保持耕作领域的研究和发展动态；对中国该领域研究发展现状和研究水平，从时间、深度、方法、生产应用等方面与国外进行了比较分析。中国是一个水土流失和耕地退化严重的农业大国，而从全球统计数字来看，中国土壤保持耕作面积目前仅占全球保持耕作面积的0.2%，仅占全国耕地面积的0.1%， 其现状与中国耕地资源和环境的继续退化以及对土壤保持耕作需求的增加极不相符。加强中国土壤保持耕作系统研究和土壤保持耕作"节能固碳"长期建设不仅对中国而且对全球变化及农业可持续发展具有重大意义。鉴于中国土壤保持耕作领域研究和发展所存在的不足和所面临的更大挑战，以及该领域研究涉及到复杂的农业系统"耕作管理-生物过程-环境变化"相互作用及其系统能流-碳流循环过程，尤其农业生态系统碳汇/源估量尚存在诸多不确定性因素等科学问题，有必要运用综合的系统性研究分析方法，借助国外长期试验和理论研究经验，以及系统模型模拟研究手段等多学科和交叉学科知识，加速提升中国土壤保持耕作领域的科研实力和水平，为实现碳汇/源科学调控管理、减缓农业对温室效应贡献、促进农业可持续发展提供科学依据。     

不同耐旱性玉米根系解剖结构比较研究

以大田生长的不同耐旱性玉米品种为试验材料,采用徒手切片法和常规石蜡制片法对玉米的初生根和各层次生根的基部、中部和根毛区显微结构进行了系统研究和比较.结果显示:与不酎旱品种玉米的根系相比,耐旱玉米的初生胚根的皮层细胞层数较少,木质部导管数量较多、导管直径较小;各层次生根的皮层细胞层教相对较少,木质部导管数量相对较多,导管直径相对较小.     

农牧交错区耕地净第一性生产力动态变化研究——以陕西榆林市榆阳区为例

以榆林市榆阳区1984～2003年各乡镇的粮食产量统计数据为依据,选用了适合农用地的净第一性生产力估算模型,对该区耕地净第一性生产力单位面积量及总量进行分区动态测算,以揭示生态环境对耕地净第一性生产力的影响.研究表明:(1) 1984～2003年间,榆阳区耕地净第一性生产力总量在波动中上升,20 a内总物质量从21.94×104 t/a增加到57.98×104 t/a,年度递增率为5.24%.(2) 在1984～2001年间,榆阳区北部耕地净第一性生产力远高于南部,且呈较快上升趋势,而南部黄土丘陵沟壑区的耕地净第一性生产力呈较平缓的波动变化,且略有下降.(3) 在1984～2001年间,榆阳区城区、近郊、远郊的差异性在单位耕地面积净第一性生产力上体现为城区＞近郊＞远郊;在耕地NPP总量方面,城区、近郊和远郊都表现为在波动中上升,三区变化以远郊波动幅度最大.(4) 榆阳区耕地净第一性生产力总量的大幅增长有农业投入增加的原因,但主要得益于该区的生态环境的改善.     

Vergleichende bodenphysikalische untersuchungen zwischen Lysimetern und Ihren Herkunftsflächen am beispiel von drei typischen böden mitteldeutschlands unter landwirtschaftlicher nutzung i. Mitteilung ermittlung bodenphysikalischer kenngrössen

Zur Quantifizierung möglicher Veränderungen zwischen langjährig genutzten Lysimetern und ihren Herkunftsflächen wurden ausgewählte bodenphysikalische Parameter ermittelt und eine erste Interpretation der angetroffenen Unterschiede zwischen Lysimeter und Herkunftsfläche vorgenommen.

Zur Ermittlung bodenhydraulischer Kenngrößen können unterschiedliche Verfahren eingesetzt werden. So wurden Saugspannungs‐Sättigungs‐Funktionen (pF‐Kurven) mittels AMHYP‐Anlage und mit der Verfahrenskombination: Sandbett‐Kaolinbett‐Drucktopfapparatur erstellt. Die dabei festgestellten deutlichen Abweichungen geben Anlaß zur Überprüfung der bisher verwendeten Verfahren, der damit ermittelten Meßwerte und deren Interpretation.     

Infectivity,inoculum density and germination of Spongospora subterranea resting spores: a solution-culture test system1

Spongospora subterranea, causal agent of powdery scab of potatoes and vector of potato mop-top furovirus, survives in the soil as balls of resting spores (cystosori). So far, the factors affecting longevity, germination and infectivity of cystosori have not been investigated. A rapid and versatile bioassay with tomatoes as bait plants has been developed to quantify the infectivity of cystosorus inoculum or infested soil. The intensity of root infection, as a measure of infectivity, was determined by evaluating the quantity of zoosporangia present in epidermal cells and root hairs of the whole, stained root system. A correlation was obtained between the intensity of root infection and the cystosorus inoculum density in nutrient solution. Sterile soil suppressed the inoculum potential of pure cystosori. Infectivity of untreated soil decreased with increasing time of storage. Root infection was not influenced by the pH level of the nutrient solution.     

Sensitivity of Rhizoctonia species to different fungicides

Of 14 fungicides with different modes of action, cyproconazole and tolclofos-methyl were generally inhibitory both in vitro and in vivo against all tested isolates of five Rhizoctonia species belonging to the teleomorphs Thanatephorus cucumeris, Waitea circinata or Ceratobasidium cereale. Triadimenol and carboxin provided considerable variation in activity against different species and isolates, whereas prochloraz was ineffective against all isolates. Imazalil and fenarimol showed moderate control, whereas flusilazole, propiconazole, fenpropimorph and benomyl showed strong activity against R. zeae and R. oryzae, but were much less effective against R. sasakii, R. cerealis and R. solani. Benodanil and iprodione controlled all isolates of R. cerealis and R. solani, but were not very effective against R. zeae and R. oryzae. Pencycuron showed strong activity against R. sasakii and most R. solani isolates, moderate activity against R. zeae, and was ineffective against R. oryzae and R. cerealis.     

Trifluralin effects on the development of cotton in arid zone soils

The effect of trifluralin on the growth and development of cotton plants in low-organic-matter soils from the northern Negev of Israel was studied. Trifluralin exhibited linear sorp tion isotherms on these soils, Trifluralin and dinitramine losses from soils under varying moisture regimes and application practices were determined in open systems. The data were fitted to both first-order and biexponential kinetic equations. In about 50% of cases the biexponential kinetic model provided a better fit to the data, but no relationship could be found between the model parameters and environmental or soil properties. Losses were generally greater at field capacity than at 50% field capacity, and at 27°C than at 15°C, and in soils with a lower organic matter content. The trifluralin application rate was negatively correlated with vegetative growth parameters of cotton, but the correlation became weaker with increasing soil organic carbon content. Trifluralin delayed boll production in coarse textured soils, the longest delay occurring at higher application rates. It is concluded that in light soils that contain very little organic matter, trifluralin rates must be maintained at the minimum level required for adequate weed control to prevent damage to crops.
