The variety used for the study was Tang A8252( Spanish peanut). The results showed that number of full fruit,dry weight per plant,kernel yield,and pod yield all increased with calcium application increased,and they decreased when calcium application rate was more than150 kg/ha. Both the height of main stem and the length of side shoot decreased with calcium application increased. Therefore,to obtain the optimal agronomic character index and the highest yield benefit,the suggested calcium application rate would be 150 kg/ha for peanut.展开更多

Use of drought tolerant rice genotype might be a suitable option for overcoming such problem. This study focused on the effects of gradual soil drying during early vegetative growth stage on morphological and physiological traits of five Oryza glaberrima genotypes, namely RAM12, RAM14, RAM59, RAM97 and RAM101, and two Oryza sativa subsp japonica genotypes, i.e. Koshihikari and Minamihatamochi. The plants were subjected to 6 d of gradual soil drying condition from 15 days after transplanting(DAT) to 20 DAT, and were allowed to recover until 22 DAT. Gradual soil drying reduced plant growth as indicated by dry mass accumulation. Drought reduced stomatal conductance and increased leaf rolling score of all the genotypes. All the genotypes showed comparable response on stomatal conductance, but O. glaberrima genotypes performed higher in leaf rolling recovery. Meanwhile, O. sativa genotypes decreased total leaf area and specific leaf area, but increased specific leaf weight in order to avoid further damages due to drought stress. Drought tolerance mechanisms in RAM101, RAM12, RAM59 and RAM14 were associated with leaf morpho-physiological responses, root traits and dry biomass accumulation.展开更多

The experiment included five irrigation schedules, such as no irrigation (W0), irrigation once at jointing (W1j) or at booting (W1b), irrigation twice at jointing and booting (W2), and irrigation three times at jointing, booting and grain-filling (W3) and three planting densities, such as 180 (D1), 300 (D2) and 450 (D3) seedlings per square meter. The results indicated that irrigation significantly improved population photosynthesis. The relationship between population photosynthesis and irrigation time/volume was to some extent parabolic. Improvements in population photosynthesis (resulting from more irrigation time/volume) were mainly related to increase in leaf area index and population light interception. Population photosynthesis exhibited a significantly negative correlation with canopy light transmittance. Population photosynthesis at grain filling stage was significantly positively correlated with dry matter accumulation at post-anthesis and grain yield. Main effects and partial correlation analysis showed that population photosynthesis of W0, W1j, W1b and W3 were regulated by canopy light transmittance and leaf area. On the other hand, population photosynthesis of W2 was mainly influenced by flag leaf photosynthetic rate. On this basis, planting 300 seedlings per square meter was the optimum combination. The combination of W2D2 increased population photosynthesis during mid-late growth stages and extended high population photosynthesis duration, which ultimately increased grain yield.展开更多

文摘A field experiment was conducted to elucidate the regulation mechanism of different irrigation schedules on population photosynthetic of winter wheat. The experiment included five irrigation schedules, such as no irrigation (W0), irrigation once at jointing (W1j) or at booting (W1b), irrigation twice at jointing and booting (W2), and irrigation three times at jointing, booting and grain-filling (W3) and three planting densities, such as 180 (D1), 300 (D2) and 450 (D3) seedlings per square meter. The results indicated that irrigation significantly improved population photosynthesis. The relationship between population photosynthesis and irrigation time/volume was to some extent parabolic. Improvements in population photosynthesis (resulting from more irrigation time/volume) were mainly related to increase in leaf area index and population light interception. Population photosynthesis exhibited a significantly negative correlation with canopy light transmittance. Population photosynthesis at grain filling stage was significantly positively correlated with dry matter accumulation at post-anthesis and grain yield. Main effects and partial correlation analysis showed that population photosynthesis of W0, W1j, W1b and W3 were regulated by canopy light transmittance and leaf area. On the other hand, population photosynthesis of W2 was mainly influenced by flag leaf photosynthetic rate. On this basis, planting 300 seedlings per square meter was the optimum combination. The combination of W2D2 increased population photosynthesis during mid-late growth stages and extended high population photosynthesis duration, which ultimately increased grain yield.

文摘With the increased demand for vegetables of nutritional value,enhancing vegetable quality while pursuing high yield has become a goal of many investigators.In the present study,the effects of irrigation quota(A),fertilizer amount(B),dissolved oxygen(DO,C),and temperature in the climate chamber(D)applied in combination with the quality and yield of lettuce were investigated.Four-factor and three-level orthogonal designs were used to determine the single-factor trend,the sequence of primary and secondary influencing factors,and optimal regulatory measures concerning the lettuce.The order of the primary and secondary effects on the plant height,net photosynthesis rate(P_(n)),transpiration rate(E),vitamin C content(V_(c)),soluble protein content(S_(p)),dry matter accumulation(Dm),yield,irrigation water use efficiency(IWUE)of the lettuce plants followed the order A>B>D>C.In addition,the order of the primary and secondary effects on the intercellular carbon dioxide concentration(C_(i)),chlorophyll content,and nitrate content followed the order A>D>B>C.The optimum scheme for lettuce was A3B2C1D3(irrigation quota of 69 mm;fertilizer amount of 1.30 g/pot;DO of 6.5 mg/L;and temperature in the climate chamber of 20℃).Under the coordinated regulation of water,fertilizer,air,and temperature,the quality and yield of lettuce have been significantly improved.This study had important reference significance for the comprehensive regulation of water,fertilizer,air,and temperature facilities for vegetables.
