Assessing the deposition and canopy penetration of nozzles with different spray qualities in an oat (Avena sativa L.) canopy

Consistent spray coverage that is evenly distributed throughout the canopy is necessary to control pest populations that can negatively affect yield. As applicators are switching to Coarser spray quality nozzles to reduce risk and liability of pesticide spray drift, concerns about efficacy loss are growing. Previous research has indicated that small droplets are the most effective at penetrating through crop canopies, but newer nozzle technologies have improved the effectiveness of larger droplet or Coarser sprays. Research was conducted to assess the canopy penetration of nozzles that produce Coarse, Very-Coarse and Extremely-Coarse spray qualities compared to nozzles that produce Fine and Medium spray qualities. Kromekote collectors were positioned in four configurations in an oat (Avena sativa L.) var. ‘Yarran’ (AusWest Seeds, Forbes, NSW, Australia) crop to quantify the coverage and droplet number densities (droplets cm⁻²) across three application carrier volume rates: 50, 75 and 100 L ha⁻¹. Applications were made in the field in 30 cm tall, tillering oats, with collectors arranged in a randomised complete block design with three replications. The entire study was repeated on the following day. Results showed that droplet number densities were inversely related to the droplet size produced by the nozzles, yet coverage was increased more by application volume rate than droplet size. Thus, both spray drift reduction and improved canopy penetration can be achieved with proper nozzle selection and operation parameters for the control of agronomic pests.     

不同覆盖方式土壤生态效应与成龄葡萄增产效应研究

通过小区试验研究了不同覆盖保墒灌溉措施对土壤水分动态变化、土壤温度、葡萄生长状况、生理生态指标以及产量等的影响。结果表明:与对照相比,覆盖措施明显减少了土壤水分蒸发,提高了蓄水保墒作用;覆盖措施可明显提高土壤表层温度,但随深度的增大,影响程度逐渐减小;保墒处理的果树生长势强、枝条增长量大、果粒大、产量高。草帘子覆盖措施与塑料薄膜覆盖措施效果相当。     

Behavior of four broad-leaved tree species used to revegetate eroded granite hill slopes

Information on primary growth behavior after planting is required for mixed-plantation revegetation using broad-leaved species. To estimate primary growth, especially from the perspective of crown coverage and changing growth rates, we examined the growth and survival of four broad-leaved species that are frequently used in erosion-control plantations in Japan. The species studied were Myrica rubra Sieb. et Zucc., Alnus pendula Matsum., Quercus glauca Thunb., and Q. serrata Thunb. The survival, height, and basal diameter of planted trees were measured over a 4-year period, and crown area was calculated over a 3-year period. We found a negative relationship between relative growth rate (RGR) and survival rate, suggesting that fast growth may be fatal when resources are severely limited. The relative height growth rate (RHGR) of A. pendula was especially high during the early period of the study (1997–1999) and then drastically declined, whereas the opposite tendency was observed in Q. glauca. The results of stem allometry analyses conformed to the specific relationships between height growth and diameter growth of the four species; increases in stem thickness based on height increments were smaller in the pioneer species A. pendula. Between-species differences in coverage per planted tree (mean crown area multiplied by survival rate) were small as a result of the negative relationship between coverage area and survival rate.     

北方人工湿地植物对污水净化效果研究

对栽种水葫芦、大藻、水鳖3种湿地植物的潜流人工湿地进行研究,分析3种植物在不同生长期（包括幼苗期、成长期、成熟期、衰败期）以及在不同覆盖度（包括100％、80％、60％）下对污水的净化效果。试验结果表明,植物成熟期（7～9月）对污染物去除率比其他阶段明显要好;大藻最佳覆盖度为60％、水葫芦最佳覆盖度为80％、水鳖的最佳覆盖度为60％。     

抗虫耐除草剂棉花生存竞争能力研究

本试验对抗虫耐除草剂棉花639017、当地棉花冀棉106在两种土壤类型条件下开展生存竞争能力研究。结果表明:正常播种条件下,抗虫耐除草剂棉花和冀棉106在大坝沙壤土出苗率低于5%,在试验基地壤土出苗率低于10%,两种土壤类型下,棉花覆盖度均远低于杂草覆盖度,棉花株高仅20 cm左右,未完成正常生长发育。在地表撒播试验中,试验棉花均未出苗。另外栽培地竞争试验中,抗虫耐除草剂棉花株高及产量均低于冀棉106,部分生育期差异显著。表明:外源基因的导入并未增强抗虫耐除草剂棉花的生存竞争能力,因此,抗虫耐除草剂棉花无杂草化风险。

以直立和平展2种株型的冬小麦品种为材料，研究了它们的光谱响应以及田间植被覆盖度的差异，探讨了利用冠层光谱反射率、光谱特征参量NDVI及植被覆盖度识别小麦株型的方法。结果表明，（1）小麦不同株型品种在近红外波段（700～1300 nm）光谱反射率有明显差异，生育前期平展型品种高于直立型品种，并以拔节期的差异为最显著，随着生育进程差异逐渐变小。拔节期是进行株型识别的最佳时期，并且此期冠层的敏感波段680 nm和760～900 nm的反射率在2种株型品种之间差异明显。（2）小麦冠层叶面积指数（LAI）与归一化差异植被指数NDVI(680,890)呈正相关，并且不同生育阶段其相关程度有差异，这是利用NDVI和植被覆盖度(COV)识别不同株型的基础。（3）相同COV条件下，直立型品种的NDVI高于平展型品种的NDVI，并且随着COV的增加，差异逐渐变小，二者的变化关系体现了直立型品种株型紧凑和平展型品种株型披散的特点，利用NDVI和COV的关系可以对株型进行识别，以小麦拔节期为最佳识别阶段，此期2种株型品种的NDVI具有显著差异（P＜0.05）。
