An economically based evaluation index for perennial and short‐term ryegrasses in New Zealand dairy farm systems

Grazed pastures based on ryegrass species provide most of the feed for dairy cattle in New Zealand. There are many cultivars of perennial (Lolium perenne), annual and Italian (L. multiflorum), and hybrid (L. boucheanum) ryegrasses available for dairy farmers to use in pasture renewal. This study describes an index which ranks ryegrass cultivars relative to a genetic base according to the estimated economic value (EV) of seasonal dry matter (DM) traits. A farm system model was used to derive EVs (Grazed pastures based on ryegrass species provide most of the feed for dairy cattle in New Zealand. There are many cultivars of perennial (Lolium perenne), annual and Italian (L. multiflorum), and hybrid (L. boucheanum) ryegrasses available for dairy farmers to use in pasture renewal. This study describes an index which ranks ryegrass cultivars relative to a genetic base according to the estimated economic value (EV) of seasonal dry matter (DM) traits. A farm system model was used to derive EVs ($ ha^?1 calculated as change in operating profit divided by unit change of the trait) for additional DM produced in different seasons of the year in four regions. The EV of early spring DM was consistently high across all regions, whereas EV for late spring DM was moderate to low. Genotype × environment analysis revealed significant reranking of DM yield among ryegrass cultivars across regions. Hence, separate performance values (PVs) were calculated for two mega‐environments and then combined with the corresponding season and region EV to calculate the overall EV for twenty‐three perennial ryegrass and fifteen short‐term ryegrass cultivars. The difference in operating profit between the highest ranked and lowest ranked perennial ryegrass cultivar ranged from $556 ha^?1 to $863 ha^?1 year^?1 depending on region. For short‐term ryegrasses used for winter feed, the corresponding range was $394 to $478 ha^?1 year^?1. Using PV for DM yield, it was estimated that plant improvement in perennial ryegrass has added $12–$18 ha^?1 year^?1 (depending on region) operating profit on dairy farms since the mid‐1960s.     

三种豆科牧草愈伤组织继代培养中抗褐化的研究

为解决3 种豆科牧草愈伤组织继代培养中的褐化问题,以‘新牧4 号’紫花苜蓿、普通红豆草和‘海法’三叶草愈伤组织为材料,探讨不同防褐化措施在3 种豆科牧草愈伤继代培养过程中抗褐化效果的影响。结果表明,在苜蓿和红豆草愈伤组织的继代培养中,对愈伤组织褐化抑制效果较好的是AgNO3,浓度为0.02 g/L 时,褐化率分别为13%、15%,愈伤组织褐化程度强弱依次是PVP＞柠檬酸＞AgNO3;在三叶草愈伤组织的继代培养中,对愈伤组织褐化抑制效果较好的是AgNO3,浓度为0.015 g/L时,褐化率为32%,愈伤组织褐化程度强弱依次是柠檬酸＞PVP＞AgNO3。一定浓度的AgNO3不仅能有效控制褐化,还在一定程度上促进了愈伤组织的生长。

Influence of temperature,humidity duration and growth stage on the infection and mycotoxin production by Fusarium langsethiae and Fusarium poae in oats

High occurrence of Fusarium poae (FP) and Fusarium langsethiae (FL) and their mycotoxins nivalenol (NIV) and T-2/HT-2 have been observed in Swiss oats. Early prediction of mycotoxin levels is important for farmers and the cereal industry to minimize the risk of contaminated food and feed. Therefore, climate chamber experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of different temperatures (10, 15, 20 °C) and durations (4, 8, 12 h) at 99% relative humidity (RH) on the infection of oats with FP and FL. In addition, to discover the most susceptible period of oats, artificial FL inoculations were conducted at different growth stages. Field experiments were performed to observe the dispersal of these fungal species within the field and to investigate the weather conditions that influence the dispersal. The climate chamber experiments revealed higher contamination with NIV and T-2/HT-2 in the 10 °C treatments and with a prolonged humidity duration of 12 h 99% RH. Inoculations of oat plants at early (DC 61) and mid (DC 65) anthesis, led to higher FL infection and T-2/HT-2 accumulation in the grains compared with treatments at earlier growth stages, which might be due to an increased susceptibility during anthesis. No indication for spore dispersal was observed in the field experiments. The results obtained, together with the cropping factors that influence infection and mycotoxin production, could be used as a first step in developing forecasting models to predict the contamination of oats with the mycotoxins NIV and T-2/HT-2.     

不同灌水量对饲料玉米耗水特性和生物量的影响

为了研究不同灌水量对饲料玉米耗水特性和生物量的影响,采用卷盘式喷灌的灌水方式,在内蒙古鄂尔多斯市鄂托克前旗进行田间试验。结果表明:总体来说随着灌水量的增加,饲料玉米的耗水量、耗水强度、株高、产量和水分生产率都有不同程度的增加;其中灌水定额为60mm的处理分枝期的耗水强度最大为4.31mm/d;在灌水量低于45mm时,增加灌水量对于产量和水分生产率的影响十分明显;而灌水量为60mm处理,相对于45mm处理来说产量和水分生产率增加甚微。从经济、节水、增产考虑,建议饲料玉米苗期可适当增加灌水量,其他生育期可取45mm的灌溉制度。     

铜尾矿污染土壤几种牧草的重金属抗性及微生物群落功能多样性研究

Copper （Cu） mine tailings, because of their high content of heavy metals, are usually hostile to plant colonization. A pot experiment was conducted to determine the tolerance of four forage grasses to heavy metals in Cu mine tailings and to examine the variation in the microbial functional diversity of soils from the tailing sites in southern China. All the four grass species survived on Cu mine tailings and Cu mine tailing-soil mixture. However, on pure mine tailings, the growth was minimal, whereas the growth was maximum for the control without mine tailings. The tolerance of grasses to heavy metals followed the sequence： Paspalum notatum 〉 Festuea arundinaeea 〉 Lolium perenne 〉 Cynodon daetylon. The planting of forage grasses enhanced the soil microbial biomass. The Biolog data indicated that the soil microbial metabolic profile values （average well color development, community richness, and Shannon index） of the four forage grasses also followed the sequence： P. notatum 〉 F. arundinaeea 〉 L. perenne 〉 C. daetylon. Thus, P. notatum, under the experimental conditions of this study, may be considered as the preferred plant species for revegetation of Cu mine tailing areas.

刈割间隔时间对苜蓿产量、品质及越冬率的影响

研究了不同刈割间隔时间对苜蓿产草量、品质及越冬率的影响。结果表明:刈割间隔时间对苜蓿产草量、品质及越冬率有极显著影响(P<0.01)。随刈割间隔时间增大,苜蓿产草量增加;粗蛋白含量显著下降(P<0.05),粗纤维、中性洗涤纤维(NDF)、酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)含量显著(P<0.05)上升,导致干草品质下降;其中以间隔25 d越冬率最低,仅为83.33%,极显著(P<0.01)低于其它处理。综合考虑,试验地区及同类生态地区间隔35 d刈割可获得高产草量、高品质的苜蓿干草,而且越冬率高。
