海东地区荒山荒坡三种治理措施的效果对比研究

对治理荒山荒坡常用的封育、补播、重新建植三种方法进行了对比、调查和分析。结果表明,采用补播措施治理荒山荒坡是较为有效的途径,也是合理开发利用荒山荒坡、尽快恢复植被、控制水土流失和改善生态环境经济实用而又可行的方法。     

超高产水稻产量形成的气候生态特点研究

在云南和湖南异地异季种植，研究了水稻超高产形成的相应气候生态条件，结果表明：超高产水稻具有大穗、多穗、高结实率的特点．云南试区具有日较差大、日照时数多、相对湿度低，平均温度较低的气候特点，故水稻生育期较长，同化物积累多，成穗率高，灌浆强度大．湖南试区阴雨寡照是影响产量的重要因素．     

不同播期和不同肥力条件下向日葵干物质形成和物质分配对杂交种产量的影响

不同的播期明显影响向日葵籽实产量及病害发生的程度。通过调整播期，可防止或减轻叶部斑病和菌核病的发生，在向日葵生产上起着很大作用。向日葵不同品种干物质积累规律符合Logistic生长曲线，可用方程y=k/(1 ae^-bx）模拟。向日葵植株的器官平衡依次为：除空壳外，茎秆（28.5%)、籽实（24.5%)、叶片（22.5%)、葵盘（17.3%)、叶柄（4.9%)。土壤肥力对向日葵的器官平衡有较大影响。经济系数不高是向日葵的一个特点。栽培条件不同，经济系数差异较大。在一般情况下，春播条件下经济系数较高，夏播条件下经济系数较低。

奎屯地区气象要素对玉米播种及苗期的影响

奎屯地区农七师位于天山北麓,准噶尔盆地的西南缘,总面积5986km2,其中作物种植面积120万亩,随着农七师产业结构的调整,2003年实施了“万头澳牛引进工程”,养牛业的发展使农七师畜牧业对玉米的需求量增加,尤其是澳牛养殖业对青贮玉米需求量更大,因此,研究分析气象要素对玉米播种及苗期的影响是重要工作之一。

Weeding techniques in transplanted and direct wet-seeded rice in Pakistan

Field studies were undertaken to explore the weed management strategies for transplanted and direct wet-seeded rice in the Dera Ismail Khan district of North-west Frontier Province, Pakistan. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with a split plot arrangement. The main plots consisted of two planting techniques (transplantation and direct seeding), while weed control practises assigned to the subplots included the use of the granular herbicide Sunstar 15WG (ethoxy sulfuron), Machete 60EC (butachlor), conventional hand weeding, and the weedy check (untreated control). Data were recorded on weed dynamics and the agronomic parameters of the rice crop. Economic analyses on the data were also run. The weed density and biomass were lower in the transplantation plots than the direct-seeding plots. The herbicides ethoxy sulfuron and butachlor reduced the density over the weedy check, with a density comparable to hand weeding in 2002, but slightly higher in 2003. As a result of weed management by hand weeding and herbicides, the paddy yield and its components were significantly higher for the transplanted method compared to the direct-seeded method. The comparable yield of herbicides with hand weeding offers an option for the use of herbicides as an alternative management tool. In light of our findings, it is concluded that for good economic returns, rice crops may be transplanted rather than direct-seeded. The herbicides ethoxy sulfuron and butachlor offer a weed control cover comparable with hand weeding under the transplantation method, while butachlor is good for controlling weeds even under the direct-seeded conditions in the agroclimatic conditions of the area.     

A grower-friendly method to transfer predacious mites to commercial orchards

The establishment of predacious mites in commercial orchards may be accelerated by the transfer of pruned wood in winter and summer from donor orchards to release orchards. Following winter pruning, 3-year-old and older wood is collected and transported as soon as possible in bundles to a release orchard for distribution. If the release orchard is composed of dwarf trees, then one or two bundles of 5 kg each are placed vertically at the base of the trunk of every tree in the block (0.5 to 1 ha); if the trees are of standard size, then four or five bundles used. Following summer pruning, annual shoots and suckers are distributed immediately in a release orchard composed of dwarf trees by placing 12–15 branches on the foliage of fruit-bearing branches; if the release orchard is composed of standard trees, then 50 branches are used. The pruned wood should have 20–25 leaves and not less than one predator per leaf. The release orchard should have a light infestation (two or three mites per leaf) of pest tetranychids. These phytophagous mites would serve as food and help establish the predators. The release orchard grower should develop a pest management program based on the same groups of pesticides used in the donor orchard. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Aug. 31, 2005.     

Alternative Route of Infection for Bacterial Seedling Blight of Rice Caused by Burkholderia plantarii

Burkholderia plantarii , the pathogen of bacterial seedling blight of rice, was detected in paddy water. Its concentration rose in July and August. The bacterial concentration in the paddy water was always higher along levees than at distances more than 5 m from levees. Confirmed to be released into water when graminaceous weeds were immersed, B. plantarii survived for at least 4 days at 30°C. B. plantarii was splashed at least 30 cm upward by rain splash in the field. Harvested seeds, which had been sprayed with B. plantarii released from graminaceous weeds at the flowering stage, retained the bacteria. Bacterial seedling blight occurred when the seeds were then sown in nursery boxes. These results indicated that graminaceous weeds growing on levees of paddy fields are a source of infection of the disease and that rice seeds are infected through the paddy water.
