An evaluation of Colwell‐P as a measure of plant‐available phosphorus in soils of volcanic and non‐volcanic origins in the highlands of Papua New Guinea

Various soil test methods including Olsen, Colwell, Bray and Truog have been used to assess the levels of plant‐available P (PAP) in soils situated in the highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG). Up until now, though, there has been no guarantee that these tests provide valid assessments of PAP in these somewhat atypical organic matter‐rich tropical soils. Furthermore, the critical soil‐P concentrations associated with the tests have been based on studies conducted elsewhere in sub‐tropical and temperate latitudes and as such may or may not be valid for soils or cropping situations in PNG. Soil (Colwell)‐P and leaf‐P data collected during a recent survey of sweet potato gardens in the highlands of PNG were therefore used to determine if useful relationships existed between these variables for different groups of soils, and if they do, to use these relationships to evaluate critical soil Colwell‐P concentrations corresponding to a known critical concentration of P in sweet potato index leaf tissue. Separate, highly significant linear relationships were obtained between leaf‐P and Colwell‐P for soils of volcanic and non‐volcanic origins. Based on these relationships, the critical Colwell‐P concentration for volcanic soils was found to be four times greater than that for non‐volcanic soils, presumably because much of the P extracted from the former soils with alkaline sodium bicarbonate had been chemically ‘fixed’ via sorption and precipitation reactions with sesquioxides and rendered unavailable to plants at ambient soil pH. These critical Colwell‐P concentrations if adopted as benchmark values for the soil groups in question should ensure that the results of future soil fertility surveys involving Colwell‐P assessments are correctly interpreted.

枣树开甲、摘心和喷肥相互作用的研究

对枣树进行开甲、摘心、喷肥、喷尿素和喷KH_2PO_4处理,以及不同水平组合处理试验,结果表明,开甲喷肥处理不仅能极显著地提高株产和增加果重,而且能较好地保持树体的营养生长。是枣树丰产配套技术的最优组合;开甲摘心喷肥效果亦好,但摘心较为费时费力;开甲摘心或开甲虽能提高株产量,但对树体营养生长有一定的影响;采取单种措施处理时,增产效果不及有开甲参加的组合处理大。开甲喷肥组合处理,可在枣产区推广应用。

20世纪中国文学的雅与俗

在20世纪中国文学中,雅文学曾因其对社会、人生的影响而成为大众精神文化生活的一个重要组成部分。但进入80年代后,随着社会经济的发展,经济全球化导致了文化的全球化,通俗文学迅猛膨胀,高雅文学急剧萎缩,俗文化压倒了雅文化,居于中国文学的主流地位。本文通过分析这一现象及变化,揭示雅与俗的关系,倡导雅俗共享、依存互动的文学观。
