Soil fertility ‐ crop genotype associations and interactions 1

This paper discusses the opportunities to combine the efforts of plant geneticists and soil scientists to develop crop varieties adapted to the existing soil conditions and techniques used for production. Such research should result in improved varieties for the best as well as poorest of soil and production situations.

以四川白肋烟"达白1号"为材料, 对不同海拔高度(700 m和1 200 m)烟株生长期间矿质元素和烟碱含量的变化动态进行分析.结果表明: 烟株打顶前随生育进程的推进叶片含N量逐渐增加, 打顶后显著下降;P含量在整个生育期比较稳定;K含量随生育期的延长逐渐降低且打顶后显著降低.叶片中微量元素含量依次为Ca>Mg>Mn>Fe>Zn>B>Cu, 其中Ca、Mg、Mn、Zn含量随生育进程一般表现先增高再下降趋势, Fe和Cu含量表现持续下降, B含量比较稳定.高海拔烟叶N、Ca、Mg含量低于低海拔, P、K、Fe、Mn含量高于低海拔, 其他元素无明显趋势.各海拔烟株Ca、Mg、B含量偏低, 微量元素Cu、Fe丰富.低海拔烟株烟碱含量高于高海拔且每烟株上部叶烟碱含量高于中部叶, 打顶后各部位烟碱含量上升速度明显加快.     

Drying half of the root-zone from mid fruit growth to maturity in ‘Hass’ avocado (Persea americana Mill.) trees for one season reduced fruit production in two years

We tested the effect of extended drying of half the root system on fruit yield and fruit Ca concentration, an indirect measure of fruit quality, in avocado (Persea americana Mill. cv Hass). In a field experiment on a sandy soil, withholding irrigation and plastic sheeting was used to dry the root-zone beneath the whole canopy (DD) or half the canopy (WD), compared with well-watered trees (WW). The irrigation water contained added nutrients and was slightly saline. Yield, shoot growth, leaf conductance, leaf and fruit water status and mineral concentrations of leaves and fruit were studied. The responses of treated trees were assessed in the following season during which normal irrigation practices were restored. With respect to yield, the WD treatment behaved the same as the DD treatment. It reduced yield by more than half and proportionately more than the reduction in water supply thus reducing irrigation efficiency. Re-watering did not restore yield of WD or DD-trees in the next season. The WD and DD treatments had no effect on the concentration of Ca in the fruit mesocarp and so are unlikely to affect fruit quality. The main impact of reduced water supply on the trees was fruit abscission and this was linked to dry soil around the roots rather than the water status of the leaves or fruits. We conclude that extended drying of half of the root-zone in one season reduced irrigation efficiency for two seasons by promoting the abscission of developing fruit to the same extent as occurred when the whole root system was exposed to extended drying.     

Mineral content of three olive cultivars irrigated with treated industrial wastewater

The reuse of saline treated industrial wastewater generated by textile firms mixed with municipal domestic effluent for irrigation was used to asses its effect on the mineral content of three olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars under greenhouse and field conditions during two complete vegetative cycles. Chemical analysis of the treated wastewater indicated that the element concentrations fall within the permissible range of irrigation water used for plants. However, little impermissible accumulation of Na and Mg higher than the recommended maximum concentration was observed. Irrigation water with six electrical conductivities (EC = 0.78, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 dS m⁻¹ in treatments T₀, T₁, T₂, T₃, T₄, T₅, respectively) were compared in the greenhouse experiment. The olive trees in the field experiment were trickle irrigated with potable water and treated wastewater (average EC = 4.2 dS m⁻¹). The results of the greenhouse experiment showed that leaf N, Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb, and Na contents increased with increasing salinity of the treated wastewater. This increase was accompanied with a decrease in K and Mg contents. Leaf Ca and Cl concentrations were not considerably affected. Ion analysis in roots indicated that the contents of P, Na, Cl, Mn, and Pb increased while K decreased as treated wastewater salinity increased. Consequently, in most cases T₄ and T₅ gave a highly significant increase or decrease in accumulation of the previously mentioned minerals. A considerable variation in the studied cultivars was noticed. ‘Nabali’ was considered the most tolerant cultivar for the high salinity levels of the treated wastewater; its transporting selectivity of Na from root to leaf was higher and more Na was retained in the roots. Tissue analysis of leaves indicated that the element concentrations were within the adequate levels except those of Fe in ‘Nabali’ and ‘Manzanillo’, Na in ‘Improved Nabali’ and Cu in ‘Nabali’ and ‘Manzanillo’. In view of these findings, the negligible accumulation of minerals in leaves and roots indicated that this kind of textile effluent can be used as a valid alternative for irrigation of olive orchards with continuous monitoring of mineral levels.     

锌、硒种肥配施对裸燕麦产量及矿质元素含量的影响

为了明确锌、硒种肥配施对裸燕麦产量及矿质元素含量的影响,以裸燕麦品种燕科1号为材料,田间试验设置锌肥、硒肥、锌肥和硒肥配施及对照4个处理,分析了燕麦籽粒产量及其构成因素、籽粒中矿质元素Ca、Mg、Fe、Mn、Cu、Zn、Se的含量以及Zn、Se的累积量。结果表明,与对照相比,种施锌肥、硒肥以及锌肥和硒肥配施可以显著提高燕麦生物学产量。锌肥和硒肥配施时,燕麦籽粒比对照增产2.8%,但不同处理间差异不显著。随着生育进程的推进,不同处理Zn、Se累积量均呈现逐渐增加的变化趋势。与对照相比,单独施用锌肥、锌硒肥配施可以显著提高燕麦全株Zn的积累量,分别提高了30.2%和37.1%;单独施用硒肥、锌硒肥配施可以显著提高全株Se的积累量,分别提高了95.3%和110.6%。不同施肥处理均可提高成熟期籽粒中Zn、Se含量,锌肥、硒肥、锌肥和硒肥配施时籽粒中Zn含量分别比对照提高了30.5%、13.9%和31.5%,Se含量分别提高了41.7%、175.6%和239.4%。不同处理间成熟期籽粒中Ca、Mg、Fe、Mn、Cu含量的差异不显著。说明通过种施锌肥、硒肥、以及锌肥和硒配施在不影响产量的条件下可以达到提高燕麦籽粒中Zn、Se含量的目的。     

硒胁迫对紫花苜蓿硒积累及矿质元素吸收的效应

为了探讨硒胁迫对紫花苜蓿硒积累及对其他矿质元素吸收的影响。以3种苜蓿阿尔冈金、大叶苜蓿、维多利亚为试材,采用土培试验方法,研究了硒胁迫对紫花苜蓿不同组织的生物量、转运系数、耐性指数、硒积累量、硒含量和矿质元素含量的影响及紫花苜蓿对硒的积累能力。结果表明:施以100μmol/L硒时,硒处理显著提高了3个品种苜蓿根、茎、叶片的硒含量、耐性指数、硒积累量和K、P、Ca、Mg元素的吸收,当硒浓度为900μmol/L时,则降低了阿尔冈金和维多利亚不同器官生物量及大叶苜蓿根的生物量积累,且降低了阿尔冈金和维多利亚不同器官及大叶苜蓿根和茎对Zn吸收积累量。不同品种间相比较,大叶苜蓿生物量、硒积累量和K、P、Mg元素吸收显著高于其他2个苜蓿,且差异显著。综合评价表明,大叶苜蓿对矿质元素和Se有较好的吸收和富集能力。

接种蚯蚓对潮土氮素矿化特征的影响

在室内恒温（20℃）培养，间歇破坏性采样（于培养后第2、6、13、20、27、41、55天采样）的条件下，研究蚯蚓活动对土壤中氮素矿化特征的影响。共设置4个处理：（1）对照处理-不接种蚯蚓不添加秸秆（S）；（2）仅接种蚯蚓不添加秸秆处理（E）；（3）不接种蚯蚓仅添加秸秆处理（O）；（4）接种蚯蚓并添加秸秆处理（0E）。结果表明：在整个培养时期中，仅接种蚯蚓处理（E）的土壤铵态氮和硝态氮含量均较对照处理（S）有显著提高（P〈0．05），分别较同期对照处理（S）高出0．54-5．71倍和0．04-2．01倍；接种蚯蚓添加秸秆处理（OE）的土壤中的铵态氮含量较同期仅添加秸秆处理（0）增高了0．42-7．26倍，并达到显著性差异（P〈0．05），但两处理的硝态氮含量无显著性差异（P〉0．05）。从整体水平来看，无论是否添加秸秆，接种蚯蚓处理（E，OE）的土壤矿质氮水平均较相应的对照处理（S，O）有显著提高（P〈0．05），到培养55d时，分别增加了1．93倍和2．36倍。仅接种蚯蚓处理（E）的土壤氮素矿化速率和累积矿化速率较对照处理（S）有显著提高（P〈0．05）；添加秸秆后，无论是否接种蚯蚓，土壤累积矿化速率均为负值，表现为对土壤矿质氮的净固定，而从土壤氮素矿化速率的变化来看，前期的各个时间段中主要表现为矿质氮的净固定，后期逐渐表现为一定程度的矿化。此外，仅接种蚯蚓处理（E）的全氮含量除了培养2d外，其他培养时期均与对照处理（S）有显著差异（P〈0．05），到培养55d时，其全氮含量较同期对照处理（S）增高了6．55％。相关性分析结果表明，在仅接种蚯蚓处理（E）中，培养前后蚯蚓鲜重的减少量与土壤全氮含量之间存在极显著正相关（P〈0.01），根据一元线性方程将蚯蚓损失的鲜重换算为蚯蚓体损失的氮量后发现，在整个培养期中蚯蚓体本身排泄的氮大约占土壤全氮含量增加量的百分比为42％-100％。     

不同浓度钙营养液对烟草矿质营养吸收与积累的影响

本文采用温室水培的方法,研究了不同的钙素供应水平对烟草各种矿质养分的吸收与积累的影响。结果表明,在其它养分形态与浓度一致条件下,随着钙浓度从75mgL-1提高到900mgL-1,烟草生长量呈抛物线型变化。钙浓度为150mgL-1时烟株干物质量最大。超过150mgL-1,随钙的增加而下降,当钙素达900mgL-1(K/Ca为1/6)时,烟株生长严重受抑。随着供钙水平由低到高,烟株氮、磷、钾、锌、锰含量均呈抛物线型变化,含钙量呈直线上升关系,而镁和铜含量则随钙浓度提高而显著下降。烟株各养分积累量均随营养液钙浓度提高呈抛物线型变化,但不同养分出现最大积累量时的营养液钙浓度却不相同。不同供钙水平上烟叶中各元素含量的变化特征与全株的结果基本一致。在低钙浓度范围(75~300mgL-1),钙对钾有协合关系,增钙促进提钾,大于300mgL-1后有拮抗作用,提钙导致降钾。钙与镁、锌、铜、锰间也存在明显的交互作用。烟叶中各元素含量与积累量的变化趋势与整株基本一致。
