Effect of Inoculating Flower Stalks and Vegetable Waste with Ligno-cellulolytic Microorganisms on the Composting Process

Abstract

A lab-scale composting experiment was carried out using vegetable and flower stalks waste to study the effectiveness of ligno-cellulolytic microorganisms (LCMs) obtained from the previous isolation on composting process, especially on enhancement of biodegradation rate of these organic materials. The addition of LCMs to compost showed promised to be a valuable asset by rendering timely benefits in efficiency, maturity, and quality of the composting. This was evidenced by a significant increase of temperature, O₂ consumption and CO₂ emission, and population density of LCMs in compost mass compared with that of biotic (addition of culture of horse feces) and abiotic (1% molasses amendment) treatments, as well as control trial. The phytotoxicity assay showed that the substrate became mature after 60 days’ composting. The LCMs inoculation enhanced the biodegradation of the composting materials as evidenced by an increasing screening ratio (1.2 cm sieve pore) of 34.5% in the treated trail, compared with that of control, which elucidated that big advantage of adding selected inoculants over other treatment, and screening ratio is a reasonable index to compare the quality of different compost. However, the inoculation seemed to have no significant effect on the moisture content, pH, and the final organic carbon of the composting materials.     

Influence of herbicide glyphosate on growth and aflatoxin B1 production by Aspergillus section Flavi strains isolated from soil on in vitro assay

The effect of six glyphosate concentrations on growth rate and aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) production by Aspergillus section Flavi strains under different water activity (a_W) on maize-based medium was investigated. In general, the lag phase decreased as glyphosate concentration increased and all the strains showed the same behavior at the different conditions tested. The glyphosate increased significantly the growth of all Aspergillus section Flavi strains in different percentages with respect to control depending on pesticide concentration. At 5.0 and 10 mM this fact was more evident; however significant differences between both concentrations were not observed in most strains. Aflatoxin B₁ production did not show noticeable differences among different pesticide concentrations assayed at all a_W in both strains. This study has shown that these Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus strains are able to grow effectively and produce aflatoxins in high nutrient status media over a range of glyphosate concentrations under different water activity conditions.

土壤微生物群落对玉米根茬和茎叶残体碳的利用特征

以沈阳农业大学连续29a棕壤长期定位施肥试验为基础,以¹³C标记的玉米植株为试验试材,采用田间原位培养方法和磷脂脂肪酸-稳定同位素示踪联用（PLFA-SIP）技术,研究土壤不同粒级团聚体中微生物群落对残体碳的同化状况,及土壤有机碳的固定这一关键生物地球化学过程.结果表明：植物残体添加显著增加了全土及各粒级团聚体中各微生物群落PLFAs含量,其中以真菌PLFAs含量增幅最高,细菌中以革兰氏阴性菌含量增幅最高;但不同残体类型并未对全土中各群落PLFAs含量产生显著影响.茎叶碳与根茬碳的矿化率无显著差异;根茬碳对总PLFAs碳库的贡献是茎叶碳的3.9倍,说明根茬碳更有利于通过微生物合成的方式贡献于土壤有机碳库.残体碳占不同微生物群落PLFAs碳库的比例以真菌最高,表明真菌对植物残体碳具有最强的同化能力;而残体碳对PLFAs的贡献在革兰氏阳性菌和革兰氏阴性菌之间却差异不大.残体碳含量、PLFAs含量和残体碳占微生物PLFAs碳库的比例均在较小粒级的团聚体中（0.25~1mm和<0.25mm）更高,而细菌/真菌比在较大粒级团聚体（>2mm和1~2mm）中更高,说明较小粒级团聚体已经成为微生物对残体进行同化固定的主要位点.植物残体在土壤中的腐解过程与残体类型、土壤团聚体组成和微生物群落密切相关.

土壤干旱和内源ABA对夏玉米产量的影响

对不同程度土壤干旱胁迫和夏玉米根、茎、叶中脱落酸含量变化对产量形成的影响进行了试验研究.充足底墒条件下播种后采用5个土壤水分等级(0～2m土壤相对湿度分别为>80%,70%～80%,60%～70%,50%～60%和40%～50%,处理代号分别为WT1～WT5),生育期内遮去自然降水.试验结果表明,轻度土壤干旱胁迫(WT3处理)下,由于表土层干旱促进了根源信号的产生、运输和累积,明显抑制了叶面积的发育和地上部分的干物质累积,降低了地上部分水分损失;同时该处理的玉米植株根系发育良好,不仅有效地利用了表土层的水分,而且根系向土壤深层延伸吸收利用土壤深层贮存的水分,有效地缓解了干旱胁迫和根信号对产量形成造成的负面影响,在土壤水分利用和获取之间达到了较好的平衡,提高了植株体的水分利用率并增加了收获指数.

Impact of Climate Change on Maize Yield in Central and Northern Greece: A Simulation Study with Ceres-Maize

The potential impacts of climate change on the phenology and yield of two maize varieties in Greece were studied. Three sites representing the central and northern agricultural regions were selected: Karditsa, Naoussa and Xanthi. The CERES-Maize model, embedded in the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT 3.0), was used for the crop simulations, with current and possible future management practices. Equilibrium doubled CO₂ climate change scenarios were derived from the GISS, GFDL, and UKMO general circulation models (GCMs); a transient scenario was developed from the GISS GCM transient run A. These scenarios predict consistent increases in air temperature, small increases in solar radiation and precipitation changes that vary considerably over the study regions in Greece. Physiological effects of CO₂ on crop growth and yield were simulated. Under present management practices, the climate change scenarios generally resulted in decreases in maize yield due to reduced duration of the growing period at all sites. Adaptation analyses showed that mitigation of climate change effects may be achieved through earlier sowing dates and the use of new maize varieties. Varieties with higher kernel-filling rates, currently restricted to the central regions, could be extended to the northern regions of Greece. In the central regions, new maize varieties with longer grain-filling periods might be needed.
