Effect of different film color mulching on dry matter and grain yield of oil flax in dry-land

Mulching can effectively maintain soil moisture;color of mulching film affects soil water storage capacity and further promote crop growth to improve grain yield.Field experiment was conducted to study effects of different film colors on dry matter accumulation(DMA)and grain yield of oil flax.Results showed that white plastic film mulching could increase leaf area,chlorophyll content and DMA.DMA of white film mulching and micro-ridge with soil covering was 53.0%higher than that of CK,and 7.8%higher than that of black film mulching.Mulching method also influenced DMA.Micro-ridge alone increased it by 13.7%than flat cultivation and soil covering improved another 7.6%under white film mulching.Both white and black film mulching with microridge could significantly improve grain yield.Black film mulching with micro-ridge and soil covering,white film mulching with micro-ridge and no soil covering significantly increased capsule number per plant,1,000-grain weight and grain yield of oil flax,compared with CK.Grain yield increased 29.0%and 28.9%respectively.These results indicated that the above mulching methods were suitable for high yield cropping pattern in dry-farming regions.

Angular color uniformity enhancement of white light-emitting diodes by remote micro-patterned phosphor film

Angular color uniformity(ACU)is a key factor used to evaluate the light quality of white-light emitting diodes(LEDs).In this study,a novel double remote micro-patterned phosphor film(double RMPP film)was used to enhance the ACU of a remote phosphor(RP)down-light lamp.A conventional RP film and remote phosphor film with single micro-patterned film(single RMPP film)also were examined for comparison.The angular correlated color temperature(CCT)distributions and the optical performance of the films were experimentally measured.The measurement results showed that double RMPP film configuration exhibited better color uniformity with a CCT deviation of only 441 K,compared with 556 K for the single RMPP film configuration and 1390 K for the RP film configuration.A simulation based on FDTD and ray tracing combined method also confirmed the ACU improvement.In addition,compared with the conventional RP film,the luminous efficiency of single and double RMPP film configurations was increased by 6.68% and 4.69%,respectively,at a driving current of 350 mA.The enhancement of the ACU and luminous efficiency are due to the scattering and mixing effect of the micropatterned film.Moreover,the double RMPP film configuration had better CCT stability at different currents than the other two configurations.The results demonstrated the effectiveness and superiority of double RMPP film in white LED applications.
