In this study, the salinity tolerances of three local crops, wheat （Triticum aestinum L.）, maize （Zea mays L.） and sunflower （Helianthus annuus L.）, growing in 76 farm fields are evaluated with modified discount function. Salinity ecological zones appropriate for these local crops are characterized and a case study is presented for crop salinity ecological zoning. The results show that the yield reductions of wheat, maize and sunflower when grown in saline soils are attributed primarily to a reduction in spikelet number, 1 000-grain weight and seed number per head, respectively. Sunflower is the most tolerant crop among the three which had a salinity tolerance index （ST-index） of 12.24, followed by spring maize and spring wheat with ST-Indices of 9.00 and 7.43, respectively. According to the crop salinity tolerance results, the arable land in the Heping Village of this district was subdivided into four salinity ecological zones： the most suitable, suitable, sub-suitable and unsuitable zones. The area proportion of the most suitable zone for wheat, maize and sunflower within the Heping Village was 27.5, 46.5 and 77.5%, respectively. Most of the most suitable zone occurred in the western part of the village. The results of this study provide the scientific basis for optimizing the local major crop distribution and improving cultural practices management in Hetao Irrigation District.展开更多
目的:以牛磺熊去氧胆酸和牛磺鹅去氧胆酸为指标,建立龙泽熊胆胶囊中熊胆粉的含量测定方法。方法:采用高效液相色谱串联蒸发光检测器,色谱柱为ChromCore AQ C 18(4.6 mm×250 mm,5μm),乙腈(A)-5 mmol•L^(-1)醋酸铵溶液(B)为流动相,...目的:以牛磺熊去氧胆酸和牛磺鹅去氧胆酸为指标,建立龙泽熊胆胶囊中熊胆粉的含量测定方法。方法:采用高效液相色谱串联蒸发光检测器,色谱柱为ChromCore AQ C 18(4.6 mm×250 mm,5μm),乙腈(A)-5 mmol•L^(-1)醋酸铵溶液(B)为流动相,梯度洗脱(0~40 min,25%A;40~50 min,25%A→29%A;50~80 min,29%A;80~100 min,29%A→40%A),流速1.0 mL•min^(-1),柱温30℃,ELSD漂移管温度110℃,氮流量2.5L•min^(-1)。结果:牛磺熊去氧胆酸进样量在1.069~9.57μg内、牛磺鹅去氧胆酸进样量在0.74046~7.40464μg内,进样量的对数与峰面积的对数呈良好的线性关系;仪器精密度、重复性、稳定性试验的RSD<2.0%;经低、中、高3个浓度的准确度试验考察,牛磺熊去氧胆酸的回收率为95.2%~97.7%,牛磺鹅去氧胆酸的回收率为91.9%~95.9%。测定样品42批次,牛磺熊去氧胆酸和牛磺鹅去氧胆酸的含量分别为0.18~0.43、0.10~0.44 mg•粒^(-1)。结论:本法适用于龙泽熊胆胶囊中熊胆粉的质量控制,可为完善龙泽熊胆胶囊的质量标准提供科学的依据。展开更多
