The results indicated that with the double-cropping, both of gross yield and output value were higher compared with single-cropping treatments; yield, thousand-grain weight, the weight of grain per ear, and ear length of the 1st-season glutinous sorghum de-creased as compartment width grew, and of regenerated sorghum and soybean changed from increasing to decreasing. Specifical y, with double-cropping system, gross yield of glutinous sorghum reached the highest at 8 352.9 kg/hm2 with com-partment width of 1.7 m and soybean yield the highest at 1 888.95 kg/hm2 with compartment width of 1.8 m. Additional y, gross output value and net incomes achieved the highest at 47 293.92 yuan/hm2 and 29 976.42 kg/hm2 for the two crops, with compartment width of 1.7 m, fol owed by the treatment with compart-ment width of 1.8 m. In general, the treatments with compartment widths of 1.7 and 1.8 m are optimal field arrangement. Additional y, output-to-input ratio was the high-est in the treatment with single-cropping glutinous sorghum and the least in the treatment with single-cropping soybeans.展开更多

Merr.) in autumn idIe Iand. [Methods] Such five in-fIuencing factors as Iine spacing, pIanting density, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) of fodder soybean seeding in autumn idIe Iand were compared using orthogonal experiment method and LSD method of PASW 18 statistics software. [Results] The resuIts showed that density, Iine spacing and K2O had important ef-fects on bioIogical yield of fodder soybean in autumn idIe Iand. Moreover, the opti-mum proposal for high-yield matching cuItivation technique of fodder soybean in au-tumn idIe Iand was determined as foI ows: pIanting density was 75 ×104 pIants/hm2;300 kg/hm2 N, 112.5 kg/hm2 P2O5 and 375 kg/hm2 K2O were viewed as basic fertiIiz-ers; the seedIing styIe was sowing in driI with the Iine spacing of 50 cm. In the proposal, fresh and hay grass yields were 6 661.67 and 2 723.64 kg/hm2, respec-tiveIy, which increased by 24.17% and 27.63% respectiveIy compared to the second fine combination. [Conclusions] The resuIts provided a theoretical basis and technical support for the production of fodder soybean in autumn idIe Iand.展开更多

Be- cause of the sensitive and fragile plateau environment, it needs to have optimal performance characteristics, including high sustainability, low environmental pressure, and high economic benefit. Emergy analysis is a promising tool for evaluation of the environmental-economic performance of these production systems. In this study, emergy analysis was used to evaluate three courtyard agricultural production models: Raising Geese in Corn Fields (RGICF), Con- ventional Corn Planting (CCP), and Pea-Wheat Rotation (PWR). The results showed that the RGICF model produced greater economic benefits, and had higher sustainability, lower environmental pressure, and higher product safety than the CCP and PWR models. The emergy yield ratio (EYR) and emergy self-support ratio (ESR) of RGICF were 0.66 and 0.11, respectively, lower than those of the CCP production model, and 0.99 and 0.08, respectively, lower than those of the PWR production model. The impact of RGICF (1.45) on the environment was lower than that of CCP (2.26) and PWR (2.46). The emergy sustainable indices (ESIs) of RGICF were 1.07 and 1.02 times higher than those of CCP and PWR, respectively. With regard to the emergy index of product safety (EIPS), RGICF had a higher safety index than those of CCP and PWR. Overall, our results suggest that the RGICF model is advantageous and provides higher environmental benefits than the CCP and PWR systems.展开更多

Soil quality of Hailun County, a typical soybean (Glycine max L. Merill) growing area located in Northeast China, was evaluated using soil quality index (SQI) methods. Each SQI was computed using a minimum data set (MDS) selected using principal components analysis (PCA) as a data reduction technique. Eight MDS indicators were selected from 20 physical and chemical soil measurements. The MDS accounted for 74.9% of the total variance in the total data set (TDS). The SQI values for 88 soil samples were evaluated with linear scoring techniques and various weight methods. The results showed that SQI values correlated well with soybean yield (r = 0.658**) when indicators in MDS were weighted by the regression coefficient computed for each yield and index. Stepwise regression between yield and principal components (PCs) indicated that available boron (AvB), available phosphorus (AvP), available potassium (AvK), available iron (AvFe) and texture were the main factors limiting soybean yield. The method used to select an MDS could not only appropriately assess soil quality but also be used as a powerful tool for soil nutrient diagnosis at the regional level.展开更多
