灌水对大麦/玉米带田土壤矿质氮影响的研究

在3个氮水平(0,150,300kg/hm2)和两个灌水量(816,1632m3/hm2)下,对3次灌水前、后甘肃河西走廊灌漠土大麦/玉米带田0～200cm土壤矿质氮含量变化进行了研究。结果表明:在灌水前土壤矿质氮含量在0～60cm土层比较高,灌水后0～60cm土层矿质氮含量明显减少,对土壤硝态氮变化影响较大的是第1次和第2次灌水。在150kg/hm2氮水平下,3次灌水大麦带土壤在低灌水量和高灌水量下矿质氮淋失量分别为136.06,142.93kg/hm2,占氮肥用量的90.70%和95.29%;玉米带为95.28kg/hm2和115.89kg/hm2,占氮肥用量的63.52%和77.26%。在300kg/hm2氮水平下,3次灌水大麦带在低灌水量和高灌水量下矿质氮淋失量分别为264.43,237.72kg/hm2,占氮肥用量的88.14%和79.24%;玉米带为163.06,257.76kg/hm2,占氮肥用量的54.35%和85.92%。3次灌水,玉米带土壤矿质氮淋失量在施氮量150kg/hm2时,以第2次灌水淋失量最大,在施氮量300kg/hm2时以第1次灌水淋失量最大;而大麦带都以第1次灌水淋失量最大。说明土壤中矿质氮的淋失首先取决于施氮量,其次才是灌水量。

Effects of Alternative Partial Root-zone Irrigation and Nitrogen Fertilizer on Plukenetia volubilis Seedlings

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of alternative partial rootzone irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer on the potted seedlings of Plukenetia volubilis.A total of 7 treatments were designed with three factors, i.e., irrigation amount, irrigation mode and nitrogen fertilizer. The growth, photosynthesis and water use efficiency were analyzed. The results showed that compared with those under full irrigation, the biomass and water consumption under alternative partial root-zone irrigation were reduced by 5% and 75%, respectively, and the water use efficiency was increased by 60%. Under severe drought conditions, the root cap ratio in the nitrogen fertilizer treatment group was increased by 30%; the leaf area index, photosynthetic rate and biomass under alternative partial root-zone irrigation were reduced by 38%, 9% and 18%, respectively. It indicates that under severe drought conditions, alternative partial root-zone irrigation is not suitable to be matched with application of nitrogen fertilizer. In short, under moderate drought conditions, alternative partial root-zone irrigation could reduce transpiration and improve water use efficiency, and it is an effective water-saving irrigation technology for the plantation of P.volubilis plants.

Nutrient Uptake and Use Efficiency of Irrigated Rice in Response to Potassium Application

Potassium is one of the most important nutrients for rice production in many areas of Asia, especially in southeast China where potassium deficiency in soil is a widespread problem. Field experiments were conducted for four consecutive years in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, to determine utilization of nutrients (N, P and K) by inbred and hybrid rice and rice grain yields as affected by application of potassium fertilizer under irrigated conditions. Grain yield and nutrient harvest index showed a significant response to the NPK treatment as compared to the NP treatment. This suggested that potassium improved transfer of nitrogen and phosphorus from stems and leaves to panicles in rice plants. N and P use efficiencies of rice were not strongly responsive to potassium, but K use efficiency decreased significantly despite the fact that the amount of total K uptake increased. A significant difference between varieties was also observed with respect to nutrient uptake and use efficiency. Hybrid rice exhibited physiological advantage in N and P uptake and use efficiency over inbred rice. Analysis of annual dynamic change of exchangeable K and non-exchangeable K in the test soil indicated that non-exchangeable K was an important K source for rice. Potassium application caused an annual decrease in the concentration of available K in the soil tested, whereas an increase was observed in non-exchangeable K. It could be concluded that K fertilizer application at the rate of 100 kg ha-1 per season was not high enough to match K output, and efficient K management for rice must be based on the K input/output balance.

Dynamics of Phenol Degrading-Iron Reducing Bacteria in Intensive Rice Cropping System

Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of cropping season, nitrogen fertilizer input and aerated fallow on the dynamics of phenol degradihg-iron reducing bacteria (PD-IRB) in tropical irrigated rice (Oryza sativa L.) systems. The PD-IRB population density was monitored at different stages of rice growth in two cropping seasons (dry and early wet) in a continuous annual triple rice cropping system under irrigated condition. In this system, the high nitrogen input (195 and 135 kg N ha-1 in dry and wet seasons, respectively) plots and control plots receiving no N fertilizer were compared to investigate the effect of nitrogen rate on population size. The phenol degrading-iron reducing bacteria (PD-IRB) were abundant in soils under cropping systems of tropical irrigated rice. However, density of the bacterial populations varied with rice growth stages. Cropping seasons, rhizosphere, and aerated fallow could affect the dynamics of PD-IRB. In the field trial, viable counts of PD-IRB in the topsoil layer (15 cm) ranged between 102 and 108 cells per gram of dry soil, A steep increase in viable counts during the second half of the cropping season suggested that the population density of PD-IRB increased at advanced crop-growth stages. Population growth of PD-IRB was accelerated during the dry season compared to the wet season. In the greenhouse experiment, the adjacent aerated fallow revealed 1-2 orders of magnitude higher in most probable number (MPN) of PD-IRB than the wet fallow treated plots. As a prominent group Of Fe reducing bacteria, PD-IRB predominated in the rhizosphere of rice, since maximum MPN of PD-IRB (2.62×108 g-1 soil) was found in rhizosphere soil. Mineral N fertilizer rates showed no significant effect on PD-IRB population density.
