Therefore, RFIF is the important development direction for agriculture to change pattern and adjust structure. In order to further promote development of the research and application of RFIF, the general development situation of RFIF in China was reviewed; the effects of RFIF on increasing farmer income and enhancing agricultural efficiency were clarified. The technologies matched with RFIF, such as rice paddy engineering technology, safe plant protection technology, security fertilization technology, fish disease prevention and control technology and water quality management technology, were summarized, and the supporting role of RFIF for agriculture was pointed out. In addition, the development prospect of RFIF was proposed, as well as the key research direction of RFIF.展开更多

Available technologies perform a single operation, necessitating farmers to buy multiple implements, which is expensive. In this study, an ox-drawn tool integrating a plough, planter and cultivator for small-scale maize farming was developed and its performance evaluated. Planting and cultivating units were designed and fabricated for assembly onto an existing standard ox-plough beam. The integrated tool was tested in the field to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of cultivation and planting of maize. Results showed that the planting unit had an average seed rate of 35.4 kg/ha with a seed damage of 4% and an effective field capacity of 0.15 ha/h at a field efficiency of 87.3%. The cultivating unit had an effective field capacity of 0.1 ha/h and a weeding efficiency of 86%. The efficiency, effectiveness and reliability for field operations are superior to manual operations currently used by farmers and are comparable to single-unit prototypes developed in other countries. This demonstrates the technical feasibility of integrating planting and cultivation units onto an existing mould board plough instead of buying multiple tools.展开更多

It was frequently reported that the disease was well-controlled in integrated rice-duck system without the employment of fungicides. However, the effecting factors behind this phenomenon were rarely reported. In this research, experiment was carried out between two treatments, rice combined with ducks (RD) and conventional rice field without ducks rearing (CK) in early season rice paddy, to investigate the variations of sclerotia in floodwater and on rice plant, microclimate 10 cm above the waterline in rice paddy and activity of protective enzymes in rice plants. The results showed that the floating sclerotia in floodwater in RD was 86-91% lower than that in CK, and adhering sclerotia in rice plant in RD was 67-78% lower than that in CK. The relative humidity tested significantly lower and light intensity tested significantly higher in RD. The temperature in the early rice growth stages in RD was slightly lower than that in CK, but it was significantly higher (32.3-36.5~C) in the middle stage rice growth stages. The polyphenoloxidase (PPO) activity in RD were lower than that in CK, but the enhanced activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), peroxidase (POD) and Chitinase was observed in different stages of rice growth in RD, especially the Chitinase which showed higher activity in all investigating days.展开更多

This study investigated dynamic emission of methane (CH4) from a paddy field in a rice-duck farming ecosystem. Three different cultivation treatments, namely the organic fertilizer + duck (OF+D), chemical fertilizer + duck (CF + D), and chemical fertilizer (Control) treatments, were employed in this study. Experimental data showed that hourly variations of CH4 emission from the paddy field during the day were somewhat positively correlated (R2 = 0.7 for the OF + D treatment and R2 = 0.6 for the CF+D treatment) to the hourly changes in air temperatures in addi-tion to the influences of the duck activities. The rate of CH4 emission for the CF+D treatment was higher than that of the Control treatment at the tillering stage, whereas the opposite was true at the heading stage. In contrary, the rate of CH4 emission for the OF + D treatment was always higher than that of the Control treatment regardless the tillering or heading stage. Our study revealed that the rate of CH4 emission depended not only on air temperature but also on the rice growth stage. A 6.7% increase in CH4 emission and in global warming potential (GWP) was observed for the CF + D treatment as compared to the Control treatment. This study suggested that although the impacts of duckling on the emission of CH4 depended on the rice growth stage and air temperature regime, the introduction of ducks into the rice farming system in general mitigated the overall CH4 emission and thereby the GWP.展开更多

Large-scale wind power integration can change the original structure and characteristics of the system. Thus, it’s necessary to analyse the transient stability of power system which contains wind power, and to study the controlling strategy for improving the transient stability of power system. Based on EEAC, this paper studies the transient stability of the power system which contains wind power system theoretically, proposes the calculation method for accelerating area, decelerating area and margin, and illustrates the impact of wind power integration on the transient stability with power angle curve. Furthermore, this paper studies the modeling and simulation, and the experimental results prove the correctness of the theories.展开更多

This paper conducted a study using three treatments, including integrated rice-duck cultivation (RD), conventional rice cultivation (CC) and a control treatment (CK), to investigate the impact of rice-duck farming on the diversity of arthropod communities in the field. The results revealed that arthropod numbers in both RD and CC treatments showed varying degrees of reduction when compared with the CK treatment. Arthropod individual numbers, Simpson (D) and Shannon's diversity index (H') values in RD were higher than those in CC. Arthropod individual numbers, richness index (R), D and H' values in both tillering and booting phases of the late rice were significantly higher in RD treatment than those in CC treatment. Rice-duck integration system was favorable for the maintenance of arthropod diversity in the cropping field and may help to lessen the decline in abundance and diversity of rice farmland arthropods caused by the utilization of chemical pesticides and fertilizers.展开更多
