沼液回流对秸秆与污泥混合中温厌氧消化的影响

为了提高秸秆与市政污泥混合厌氧消化的消化产率,以秸秆污泥混合物作为底物,在批次实验中研究不同沼液回流对中温（35 ℃）混合厌氧消化过程的影响。实验采用0% 、20%、30%、40%、50%和60%等6种不同的沼液回流量,分析不同沼液回流量下产气量、甲烷含量、发酵过程氨氮含量、sCOD、总挥发酸（VFAs）的变化情况。结果表明：50%的沼液回流产气量和甲烷产量均最大,分别是1 645 mL和797.5 mL,TS和VS去除率达到17.5%和47.8%,单位VS甲烷产量为613.45 mL·g-1,较未加沼液的发酵瓶提高了37.7%,且无VFAs积累。过高的沼液回流量提升了厌氧反应的氨氮浓度,对厌氧产气过程产生了抑制。50%沼液回流量可以作为秸秆污泥混合厌氧消化最佳回流量。     

根施钙镁磷肥与叶喷硅/硒联合调控水稻镉吸收

南方水稻镉（Cd）污染是我国当前面临的主要环境问题之一。以中稻丰两优1号为材料,采用大田小区实验,研究了根区施加钙镁磷肥（P1：1 800 kg·hm-2、P2：3 000 kg·hm-2）、叶面喷施硅/硒（LS：2.0 mmol·L-1 Na2SiO3、LX：25 μmol·L-1 Na2SeO3、LSX：1.0 mmol·L-1 Na2SiO3+12.5 μmol·L-1 Na2SeO3）以及根区与叶面联合处理（P1LS、P1LX、P1LSX、P2LS、P2LX、P2LSX）下水稻对Cd的吸收。结果表明：1）根施钙镁磷肥显著降低了土壤有效态Cd含量（p1、P2较对照分别降低16.1%和29.5%;单独的根施钙镁磷肥或叶喷硅/硒处理后,稻米Cd含量较对照均显著降低（p1 40.8%、P2 57.2%、LS 42.3%、LX 35.0%、LSX 39.2%;根施钙镁磷肥与叶喷硅/硒联合调控对降低稻米Cd含量表现出显著的协同效应（p值显著性）,其中P1LS、P1LX和P1LSX较单独的P1分别降低了61.2%、59.5%和68.2%,P2LS、P2LX和P2LSX较单独的P2分别降低了75.0%、54.2%和75.7%。2）Cd从秸秆向籽粒转运系数（SS）大于从根向秸秆转运系数（RS）,根区与叶面联合处理明显降低RS和SS,并有显著的协同效应（p1与Si/Se联合,RS和SS平均降低了7.4%和22.0%,P2与Si/Se联合,RS和SS平均降低了16.0%和19.6%。3）从食品安全来说,单独的根施钙镁磷肥或叶喷硅/硒,大米Cd含量多数超标（国标0.2 mg·kg-1）,而根区与叶面联合处理几乎都能实现Cd含量不超标,其中降幅最大的为P2LS 和P2LSX,稻米Cd含量不到0.09 mg·kg-1。因此,根施钙镁磷肥与叶喷硅/硒联合处理可显著降低水稻Cd吸收、保障稻米质量安全。

巯基化稻壳炭吸附废水中Zn(Ⅱ)试验研究

通过巯基乙酸改性稻壳炭去除废水中的Zn(Ⅱ),研究溶液的pH、反应温度和时间以及解吸对巯基化稻壳炭(RD350)吸附效果的影响,并对改性材料进行扫描电镜(SEM)和X射线能量色散谱(EDS)分析。结果表明:通过化学改性向稻壳炭引入巯基,改性稻壳炭的表面变得更加光滑,孔隙增大,且表面功能基团—SH含量增加,有利于提高对Zn(Ⅱ)的吸附能力。RD350适用的pH范围较宽(6~8),25 ℃时在300 min达到吸附平衡,吸附过程符合假二级动力学方程,为吸热反应。通过阿伦尼乌斯(Arrhenius)经验方程计算其活化能可知,吸附为活性化学吸附。由Langmuir吸附等温线方程计算可得,RD350对Zn(Ⅱ)的理论饱和吸附量为11.26 mg∕g,结合解吸可知该吸附剂对Zn(Ⅱ)的吸附有较好的固持性,具有一定的吸附效果。

Smoke alleviates adverse effects induced by stress on rice

Smoke and salinity are environmental hazards. Smoke produced DNA damage, inflammatory, and oxidative stress in humans while salinity reduced plant yield. However, smoke from plants is beneficial towards plant growth. In this study, smoke of two plants, Buhania varegata (1:1000 and 1:5000 dilutions (v/v)) and Cymbopogon jwarancusa (1:500 and 1:1000), were used to determine effects on different physiological and biochemical parameters in rice Basmati-385 (B-385) and Shaheen Basmati under different saline concentrations (control: 50, 100, and 150 mM). With increasing salinity, germination%, seedling growth, K⁺, Ca⁺, cell membrane stability, and total nitrogen and protein contents were decreased while Na⁺ content increased. However, seeds primed with different dilution of smoke significantly diminished the adverse effects of salinity and shown to produce positive responses in all of the above parameters. The most effective dilutions were 1:5000 for Buhania varegata and C-500 for Cymbopogon jwarancusa. It seems that priming with plant smoke solution is a potent stimulant for plant growth exerting a significant role in physiology and biochemistry of rice plants under saline condition.     

Preliminary toxicity evaluation of water from rice fields using cost‐effective microbiotests

A study was performed in a Protected Area (Natural Reserve of Sado Estuary) in 1996, to evaluate the acute toxicity for aquatic life of surface water from rice fields treated with pesticides, particularly with molinate and quinclorac. As a preliminary assessment, the following rapid toxicity tests were used: “Rotoxkit F”;, “Thamnotoxkit F”; and the recently introduced “Daphtoxkit F magna”; and “Algaltoxkit F”;. Water samples were collected from: a water source for irrigating the rice fields, two rice plots, a drainage channel and from Sado river in which the water is discharged. The results showed that samples from the rice plot treated with molinate were more toxic than those obtained from rice plot treated with quinclorac. Water samples from the river were the most toxic, causing 100% of immobility in all organisms and a substantial inhibition in the algal growth. Water collected from the drainage channel in late July, was also found to be quite toxic. The results obtained until now indicate that some characteristics of these microbiotests, like their rapidity, simplicity and relatively low cost, make them a practical tool to evaluate acute effects of pesticides in freshwater ecosystems. They may also contribute to suggest some changes in pesticides use to promote agricultural practices with lower impact to aquatic life.     

Evaluation of fodder quality of straw of different landraces of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under cultivation in the Kumaun Region of Indian Central Himalaya

Thirty landraces of rice collected from various locations, across an elevational gradient (1150–2400 m asl), in Kumaun, Central Himalaya and VL-206 (a high-yielding variety recommended for rainfed mountain area) have been evaluated, both in terms of quantity and nutritional quality of straw. Data were collected to estimate the percentage share of fodder in the overall biomass produced. The total biomass harvested at maturity was taken as productivity. In view of the severe scarcity of fodder in hill regions, particularly during winter months, straw was also examined for quality-linked biochemical parameters and dry matter digestibility (DMD) of fodder. The Crude Protein (CP) values ranged from 2.21% (Nandhani) to 6.33% (Dalbadal), and in saceo DMD (nylonbag technique) was highest in Kaladur (48.84%) and lowest in Kantolia (32.25%). While the CP in VL206 was within the range recorded for various landraces (3.61%), DMD value (27.29%) was lower than that of all the landraces tested. In saceo DMD data indicate that the fodder quality of landraces is better than that of the introduced variety. The values for neutral detergent fibre (NDF) ranged from 63.64% (Sabhawati) to 78.46% (Chhotiya) among the rainfed landraces, while in the irrigated landraces, Thapchini had more NDF (87.50 %), as compared to Kantolia (73.88%) and VL206 (74.91%). Values for the acid detergent fibre (ADF) varied from 42.70% (Danbasmati) to 54.58% (Nandhani) in the rainfed group; ADF was slightly higher in Thapchini (49.41%) in comparison to Kantolia (47.19) and VL206 had the highest (56.80%) ADF content. The observed differences with respect to straw productivity, chemical composition and in saceo DMD in various landraces, even when grown under similar conditions at one place, clearly indicate the richness of the gene pool of rice being maintained, through cultivation, in the Kumaun hills. It may be mentioned that agriculture in the hills is biomass based, and livestock form an integral component of subsistence farming.     

Efficacy of rapeseed residue and eggshell waste on enzyme activity and soil quality in rice paddy

Addition of plant residue into soils improves soil physiochemical properties and its fertility. Rapeseed residue is an emerging N source to paddy soils via rice-rape double-cropping practice. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of rapeseed residue and eggshell waste on chemical changes and enzyme activity in the rice paddy soil. The powdered eggshells at 0, 1, 3, and 5% were applied once to 7.0 kg paddy repacked soils in each pot treated with the rapeseed residue or the conventional N, P, and K fertilisers. Eight rice seedlings (Oriza sativa L. cv. Ilmibyeo) (40 days after sowing) were transplanted to the treated each pot. The contents of total C (TC) and N (TN), and organic matter (OM) were significantly increased in soils treated with the rapeseed residue compared to the N, P, and K fertilisers. With the addition of eggshell containing ～92% CaCO₃, a considerable increase of soil pH was observed in soils treated with the rapeseed residue and the N, P, and K fertilisers, compared to the untreated soil. Activities of β-glucosidase, urease, and arylsulfatase enzymes were higher in soils treated with the rapeseed residue than soils treated with the N, P, and K fertilisers. The eggshell additions at 1, 3, and 5% into soils treated with the rapeseed residue increased enzyme activity mainly resulting from N mineralisation, whereas no change in enzyme activity was observed in the soils treated with the NPK fertiliser. The combined use of the rapeseed residue and the eggshells can be beneficial to improve soil environment.
