Ascorbic acid, β-carotene,sugars, phenols,and heavy metals in sweet potatoes grown in soil fertilized with municipal sewage sludge

Municipal sewage sludge (MSS) used for land farming typically contains heavy metals that might impact crop quality and human health. A completely randomized experimental design with three treatments (six replicates each) was used to monitor the impact of mixing native soil with MSS or yard waste (YW) mixed with MSS (YW +MSS) on: i) sweet potato yield and quality; ii) concentration of seven heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Mo, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Ni) in sweet potato plant parts (edible roots, leaves, stem, and feeder roots); and iii) concentrations of ascorbic acid, total phenols, free sugars, and β-carotene in sweet potato edible roots at harvest. Soil samples were collected and analyzed for total and extractable metals using two extraction procedures, concentrated nitric acid (to extract total metals from soil) as well as CaCl₂ solution (to extract soluble metals in soil that are available to plants), respectively. Elemental analyses were performed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Overall, plant available metals were greater in soils amended with MSS compared to control plots. Concentration of Pb was greater in YW than MSS amendments. Total concentrations of Pb, Ni, and Cr were greater in plants grown in MSS+YW treatments compared to control plants. MSS+YW treatments increased sweet potato yield, ascorbic acid, soluble sugars, and phenols in edible roots by 53, 28, 27, and 48%, respectively compared to plants grown in native soil. B-carotene concentration (157.5 μg g^?1 fresh weight) was greater in the roots of plants grown in MSS compared to roots of plants grown in MSS+YW treatments (99.9 μg g^?1 fresh weight). Concentration of heavy metals in MSS-amended soil and in sweet potato roots were below their respective permissible limits.     

The effect of multiple soil applications of disulfoton on enhanced microbial degradation in soil and subsequent uptake of insecticidal chemicals by potato plants

Abstract

Potatoes were grown during 1992 in 2 m² plots of loam which had received 1, 2 or 3 annual treatments of Di‐Syston 15G, equivalent to 3.36 kg AI/ha, in furrow at planting. The presence of enhanced degradative activity to the sulfoxide and sulfone metabolites of disulfoton in the soil treated in the previous two years was confirmed by laboratory tests prior to the 1992 treatments. Soil, seed potato and foliage from the three treatments were analyzed for disulfoton and its sulfoxide and sulfone metabolites for 12 wk following planting/treatment. Disulfoton was the major insecticidal component of the soil, a minor component of the seed piece and was not detected (<0.02 ppm) in potato foliage. Disulfoton concentrations in each of the three substrates sampled were similar for the three treatments. Disulfoton sulfoxide and sulfone were the major insecticidal components of the seed piece and foliage. Their maximum concentrations in 1st year soil, seed pieces and foliage were ca. 2x, 2x and 6x, respectively, those measured in the 2nd and 3rd year treatments. The results demonstrate that enhanced microbial degradation of relatively minor insecticidal compounds in the soil can profoundly affect insecticide levels in the plant when these compounds are the major insecticidal components accumulated. The broader implications for crop protection using soil‐applied systemic insecticides are discussed.     

不同施肥模式下甘薯乙醇生命周期能效与环境影响分析

采用生命周期分析方法,以1 000 L甘薯乙醇为单位功能单元,将甘薯乙醇生产体系分成作物种植、原料运输和乙醇转换等3个单元,对其生命周期能耗与环境排放进行清单分析和影响评价,比较习惯施肥与测土配方施肥下甘薯乙醇生命周期9类环境影响潜力的差异。结果表明：两种施肥模式下甘薯乙醇生产体系的生命周期能源效率分别为1.41和1.43。习惯施肥模式下甘薯乙醇生命周期主要环境影响类型包括人体毒性、富营养化、酸化、淡水生态毒性、能耗和全球变暖,其环境影响潜力分别相当于2000年世界人均影响潜力的40%、40%、31%、29%、25%和20%。测土配方施肥降低了化学氮肥和磷肥使用量,提高了肥料利用效率和甘薯单产,使富营养化、淡水生态毒性、酸化和全球变暖潜力分别降低了31%、15%、9%和7%。可见,测土配方施肥模式可改善甘薯乙醇生命周期的能源效率并显著缓解其负面环境影响。

马铃薯淀粉废水的预处理技术及应用研究

马铃薯是淀粉加工工业的重要原料,在马铃薯淀粉生产过程中需要消耗大量的水,从而产生含高浓度有机物和悬浮物的废水,如不妥善处理而直接排放,将会严重影响周围水体的功能。马铃薯淀粉废水中含有大量泥砂、淀粉颗粒及高浓度有机物质,采用预处理方法降低这些物质的含量,对于后续工艺的运行十分关键。本文总结了在淀粉废水预处理中常用的技术方法,并对今后的发展方向进行预测。     

Leaf surface compounds of the potato (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Solanum tuberosum</Emphasis>) and their influence on Colorado potato beetle (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Leptinotarsa decemlineata</Emphasis>) feeding

Summary.  The sampling behavior of the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (CPB) involves examination of the surface of potato leaves. It has been suggested that leaf surface compounds (volatiles and cuticular waxes) may be involved in host-plant recognition, acceptance or discrimination. Here we report on the effect of leaf surface extracts of six Polish commercial potato varieties on CPB feeding. We tested the influence of potato leaf surface extracts on CPB adult and larval feeding, then separated the extracts with HPLC, and finally tested the effect of the HPLC-separated fractions on CPB feeding. The bioassays were performed using potato leaf discs deprived of their original surface compounds. Applied to test discs at concentrations ten times higher than natural (10 leaf area equivalent), the extracts deterred CPB adults and larvae from feeding. HPLC-separated fractions composed of alkanes, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, wax esters, benzoic acid esters, fatty acid methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and phenylethyl esters, aldehydes, ketones, methyl ketones, fatty acids, primary alcohols, β-amyrin and sterols did not affect adult CPB feeding. Similarly, alkanes, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, wax esters, methyl ketones, sesquiterpene alcohols and secondary alcohols had no effect on larval CPB feeding. The sterol fraction (cholesterol, β-sitosterol and stigmasterol) acted as a phagostimulant to CPB larvae. We isolated a fraction demonstrating a phagodeterrent effect on CPB adults and larvae. The qualitative composition of the deterrent fraction was quite similar in all potato extracts, but there were quantitative differences between the varieties. Much further work is needed to identify the compounds that can produce the deterrent effect.     

利用根箱法解析甜椒根际土壤中氮的行为(英文)

为研究甜椒根际土壤中氮的行为,与既报同样的方法进行研究,即,利用15NH4+,15NO3-双标记的硝胺(NH,4>15NO3,15NH4NO3),在温室里对甜椒进行6周的根箱栽培.收割后,对土壤全氮,NO3-N,水溶性NH4-N,KCl抽出NH4-N和其各自的15N atom%进行测定.结果表明,土壤全氮从非根际到根际逐渐增加,与栽培前相比,土壤全氮在非根际中减少,却在根际中增大.土壤NO3-N浓度朝根际增加到离根际2 mm处,然后激减到根际.NO3-N的来自施给NO3-N的比例靠近根际逐渐升高,在根际达到了69%,反而,来自施给NH4-N的比例靠近根际逐渐降低,在根际将至7%左右.水溶性NH4-N和KCl抽出NH4-N浓度靠近根际逐渐降低,而且,从非根际到根际,二者匀保持3∶10的比例.KCl抽出NH4-N的来自施给NO3-N的比例靠近根际逐渐升高,但在根际仍低于3%,反而,其来自施给NH4-N的比例在非根际约为47%～55%,在根际降到41%.在整个根箱里,施用NO3-N的有機率达到62%,但其值在根际比非根圈要低.相反,施用NH4-N的有機率仅11%左右,但其值在根际比非根际要高.以上结果表明,在甜椒根际土壤中氮的无机化-有机化活性与水稻相比显著低.

以稻草覆盖免耕方式稻田冬种马铃薯(Solanum tuberosum L.)为例,研究了保护性耕作对土壤养分以及有机碳库的影响.结果表明:保护性耕作能显著增加表层土层的养分含量,土壤氮素含量比传统耕作增加0.81%～7.24%,磷素含量增加14.95%～19.21%,钾素含量增加0.57%～15.40%,且全氮、全磷、全钾含量与传统耕作之间均达到了极显著差异水平,除碱解氮含量与传统耕作之间差异不显著外,速效磷与速效钾含量与传统耕作之间达到了显著差异水平与极显著差异水平;保护性耕作能增加土壤总有机碳与活性有机碳含量,提高土壤碳库管理指数,0～10 cm土层土壤的碳库管理指数分别比传统耕作高出9.10%、13.95%,10～20 cm土层则比传统耕作略低.因此保护性耕作能使土壤朝着有利于土壤质量提高的方向发展.两个保护性耕作处理:免耕稻草覆盖(8 cm)、免耕覆盖稻草(8 cm)后盖黑色地膜之间差异不大.     

改性甘薯渣对亚甲基蓝的吸附特性及吸附机制

以甘薯渣作为材料,针对亚甲基蓝溶液初始浓度、溶液pH、改性甘薯渣加入量、吸附温度、吸附时间各因素对吸附率的影响进行实验,进一步对影响显著的初始浓度、加入量、时间采用二次正交旋转组合设计优化,得到浓度80 mg·L-1、加入量1.0 g、时间1 h时预测最大吸附率96.25%,实测95.89%,二者吻合。改性甘薯渣对亚甲基蓝吸附过程符合Freundlich等温式及准二级动力学模型,说明其吸附过程由化学速率控制的多位点物理化学混合吸附。据Langmuir等温式计算饱和吸附量为20.16 mg·g-1。SEM观测得知改性甘薯渣处理后疏松多孔的表面有利于吸附。经FTIR可知,羟基、羧基在吸附过程中有主要作用。
