Influence of inorganic fertilizers and organic amendments on soil organic matter and soil microbial properties under tropical conditions

 Soil organic matter level, mineralizable C and N, microbial biomass C and dehydrogenase, urease and alkaline phosphatase activities were studied in soils from a field experiment under a pearl millet-wheat cropping sequence receiving inorganic fertilizers and a combination of inorganic fertilizers and organic amendments for the last 11 years. The amounts of soil organic matter and mineralizable C and N increased with the application of inorganic fertilizers. However, there were greater increases of these parameters when farmyard manure, wheat straw or Sesbania bispinosa green manure was applied along with inorganic fertilizers. Microbial biomass C increased from 147 mg kg^–1 soil in unfertilized soil to 423 mg kg^–1 soil in soil amended with wheat straw and inorganic fertilizers. The urease and alkaline phosphatase activities of soils increased significantly with a combination of inorganic fertilizers and organic amendments. The results indicate that soil organic matter level and soil microbial activities, vital for the nutrient turnover and long-term productivity of the soil, are enhanced by use of organic amendments along with inorganic fertilizers.

Microbial populations,enzyme activities and nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium enrichment in earthworm casts and in the surrounding soil of a pineapple plantation

Summary Total populations of bacteria and fungi, dehydrogenase activity (as a measure of total potential microbial activity), and urease and phosphatase activities were determined in earthworm casts and surrounding laterite soils planted to pineapple. The casts contained higher microbial populations and enzyme activities than the soil. Except for fungal populations, statistically significant (P = 0.05) increases were found in all other parameters. Microbial populations and enzyme activities showed similar temporal trends with higher values in spring and summer and lower values in winter. The earthworm casts contained higher amounts of N, P, K and organic C than the soil (P = 0.05). Selective feeding by earthworms on organically rich substrates, which break down during passage through the gut, is likely to be responsible for the higher microbial populations and greater enzyme activity in the casts.     

黄泛区潮土-冬小麦系统中尿素的转化和化肥氮去向

在田间条件下,用~(15)N标记的微区试验法研究了潮土-冬小麦系统中尿素的转化和化肥氮的去向。结果表明:土壤中尿素水解后,主要进行硝化和生物固定,而被粘土矿物固定的量很少;小麦返青后,随着气温上升,生物固定的标记氮不断分解,其量可达总生物固定量的60％。作为基肥条施的尿素,其损失略高于作返青肥或拔节肥表施后随即灌水的处理。氮素损失主要发生在春季气温回升后的生长期间,当季的淋洗损失极微。在较为适宜的用量和施用技术下,化肥氮的损失仍达33—45％,其中以碳酸氢铵为最高,次为硫酸铵和硝酸铵,而尿素和硝酸铵中的硝态氮损失最低。     

The effect of soil flooding on the transformation of Fe oxides and the adsorption/desorption behavior of phosphate

As repeatedly reported, soil flooding improves the availability of P to rice. This is in contrast with an increased P sorption in paddy soils. The effects of soil flooding on the transformation of Fe oxides and the adsorption/desorption of P of two paddy soils of Zhejiang Province in Southeast‐China were studied in anaerobic incubation experiments (submerging with water in N₂ atmosphere). Soil flooding significantly increased oxalate‐extractable Fe (Fe_ox), mainly at the expense of dithionite‐soluble Fe (Fe_DCB), as well as oxalate‐extractable P (P_ox), but decreased the ratio of P_ox/Fe_ox. Flooding largely increased both, P adsorption and the maximum P adsorption capacity. The majority of newly sorbed P in the soils was P_ox, but also more newly retained P was found to be not extractable by oxalate. Flooding also changed the characteristics of P desorption in the soils. Due to a decrease of the saturation index of the P sorption capacity, P adsorbed by flooded soils was much less desorbable than that from non‐flooded soils. There are obviously significant differences in the nature of both, the Fe_ox and P_ox fractions under non‐flooded and flooded conditions. The degree of the changes in Fe_ox, P_ox, P adsorption and P desorption by flooding depended on the contents of amorphous and total Fe oxides in non‐flooded soils. Our results confirm that the adsorption and desorption behavior of P in paddy soils is largely controlled by the transformation of the Fe oxides. The reasons of the often‐reported improved P availability to rice induced by flooding, in spite of the unfavorable effect on P desorbability, are discussed.

豫北蔬菜保护地土壤磷素形态及其空间分布特性研究

采用蒋柏藩、顾益初无机P分级方法研究了豫北褐土多年棚龄蔬菜保护地土壤P素形态及其空间分布特性。结果表明,蔬菜保护地0 ~ 20cm土层全P、无机P、有机P、Olsen-P的含量分别为:1385.6 ~ 2896.5、1097.1 ~ 2365.7、270.0 ~ 606.9、109.8 ~ 302.4 mg/kg,Ca2-P、Ca8-P、Al-P、Fe-P、O-P、Ca10-P分别占无机P的百分比平均为:12.5 %、37.2 %、10.8 %、5.8 %、13.3 %、20.5 %,Olsen-P占全P的百分比高达4 % ~ 15 %,平均为10.6 %;土壤各形态P素主要积累在0 ~ 20 cm土层,随着深度的增加土壤全P、有机P、Olsen-P、各形态无机P均减少。

盆栽条件下,研究了黄淮麦区当年广泛种植的28个小麦品种在2个供K水平下N、P吸收利用差异。研究结果表明,高K与低K条件下,不同小麦品种N、P吸收利用能力差异都很大,小麦品种间N、P积累量与干物质积累量呈极显著正相关;相关分析表明,无论是低K还是高K下,不同小麦品种K积累量、K利用效率与N积累量、N利用效率及P积累量、P利用效率都存在极显著的正相关,这就显示出K高效小麦品种同时也是N高效、P高效小麦品种。     

两种氮水平下CO2浓度升高对冬小麦生长和氮磷浓度的影响

预计到 2 1世纪末期大气CO2 浓度将会比目前水平增加 1倍 ,约 70 0 μmolmol- 1 左右。因此CO2 浓度升高对作物的影响研究十分重要。本文探讨在两种氮 (N)水平下 ,CO2 浓度升高对冬小麦 (TriticumaestivumL cv Xinong 872 7)生长和地上部N、磷 (P)浓度的影响及原因。试验设 3 5 0 μmolmol- 1 和 70 0 μmolmol- 1 两种CO2 浓度水平和 45kghm- 2 和 90kghm- 2 两种N肥施用水平。结果表明 ,CO2 浓度升高 ,冬小麦株高和叶面积指数 (LAI)均增加 ,净同化率 (NAR)值增加 ,叶面积比率 (LAR)下降 ,比叶重 (SLW )不增加。高CO2 浓度对相对生长率 (RGR)的影响因施N水平而异 ,低N时RGR不增加 ,高N时明显增加。CO2 浓度增加 ,小麦抽穗提早 7～ 8d ,叶鞘、茎杆和地上部干物重提高 ,叶片、叶鞘和茎杆N、P浓度降低 ,但叶片、叶鞘和茎杆N、P吸收量增加均不明显。CO2 浓度升高 ,氮磷利用效率 (NUE和PUE)提高 ,而对相对氮磷累积速率 (RNAR和RPAR)影响不大。高CO2 浓度冬小麦体内N、P浓度下降是由于稀释效应以及NUE和PUE提高之故。     

菜园土壤高磷条件对油菜磷、锌含量的影响

采用盆钵试验研究了菜园土高磷条件下对油菜磷、锌颉颃作用的影响。结果表明,随着土壤有效磷含量的升高,油菜植株体内的含磷量也在不断升高,但上升的趋势逐渐减缓,其中,茎叶的含磷量始终大于根中的含磷量。而植株的含锌量则有很大的不同,随着土壤有效磷含量的增加,植株根中的含锌量也在不断的增加,直到趋于平稳,而茎叶中锌的含量随土壤有效磷含量的升高而增加到一定程度后表现出下降的变化趋势。这说明油菜的磷、锌颉颃作用是发生在植株体内的一种生理机制。
