稻麦轮作条件下长期不同土壤管理对有机质和全氮的影响

通过２５季种植的长期定位试验,研究了稻麦轮作条件下不同耕作方式和培肥制度对土壤有机质和全氮质量分数的影响。免耕土壤０～５ ｃｍ土层的有机质和全氮质量分数稍高于耕翻土壤; ５～１５ ｃｍ的则有低于耕翻的趋势; １５～３０ ｃｍ的无明显规律。长期休闲的土壤在整个耕层有明显的有机质和氨素累积,其中碳的累积快于氮的累积,免耕条件下比耕翻条件下累积量更大。 ０～５ ｃｍ和５～１５ ｃｍ土层有机肥与无机肥配施的处理,其有机质和全氮质量分数均显著高于单施化肥处理和不施肥处理,但均低于休闲处理; １５～３０ ｃｍ土层各培肥处理则无明显差异;单施化肥的土壤有机质和全氮质量分数高于不施肥处理,但这种差异只在表层（ ０～５ ｃｍ）较显著。     

垄作对降低黄土高原南部冬小麦田氨挥发风险的影响

为研究黄土高原南部冬小麦田NH₃挥发对垄作的响应,揭示其释放机制及污染风险,于2011—2013年冬小麦生长季,按照随机裂区试验设计布置田间试验,采用通气式田间原位酸吸收方法测定NH₃挥发. 主区为常规栽培及3种垄作,副区为2种施N(氮)处理——未施N(0 kg/hm2,以N计)和施N(180 kg/hm2). 结果表明:不同施N处理下,各耕作模式NH₃挥发通量在施肥后10 d均达到峰值,在施肥后30 d稳定在较低水平. 垄作单季NH₃累积挥发量(以N计)平均值为5.748 kg/hm2,比常规栽培降低4.9%;施N处理下NH₃累积挥发量平均值为6.512 kg/hm2,比未施N处理提高26.8%. 氮肥NH₃挥发损失率为0.47%~1.38%,其中垄作平均损失率比常规栽培降低60.1%. 不同施N处理下,各耕作模式NH₃挥发通量与土壤w(NH₄+)、含水量呈正相关;与25 cm深度处土壤温度、pH在冬前(施肥播种至土壤结冰阶段)呈正相关,而在冬后(土壤解冻至小麦收获阶段)则呈负相关. 土壤w(NH₄+)和土壤温度是控制NH₃挥发的两大主要因素. 冬前垄作降低NH₃挥发通量主要是由于垄作集中深施肥会增加NH₃挥发扩散阻力所致. 可见,旱作冬小麦种植区采用垄作可降低NH₃挥发风险.      

不同耕作措施对渭北旱塬土壤碳库管理指数及其构成的影响

以渭北旱塬9 a（2007—2016年）的不同耕作定位试验为对象,研究了在秸秆还田条件下3种连年单一耕作即翻耕（CC）、免耕（NN）、深松（SS）和3种轮耕措施即免耕-深松（NS）、深松-翻耕（SC）、翻耕-免耕（CN）对农田土壤固碳速率（CSE）、碳库管理指数（CPMI）、小麦产量和秸秆还田后表观腐殖化系数的影响。结果表明：以翻耕（CC）作为参照土样,免耕提高了0~10 cm表层土壤的固碳速率、有机碳（SOC）及其易氧化组分（EOC）的含量,并增加了表层（0~10 cm）土壤的碳库管理指数（CPMI）,在>10 cm土层SOC、EOC含量虽有所减少,但提高了有机碳的稳定系数（K_OS）;深松则提高了表层和35~50 cm土层的SOC、EOC含量、CSE及CPMI,并增加了0~10 cm、35~50 cm土层的EOC/SOC值和10~20 cm土层的K_OS;轮耕处理各土层的CSE、SOC和EOC含量均有所增加,且增加了0~10 cm、35~50 cm土层的EOC/SOC值,其中NS和CN轮耕处理各层CPMI都有所增加。深松、免耕和轮耕处理提高了小麦产量和小麦秸秆量,其中NS处理增加幅度最大,分别为14.3%（籽粒）和12.9%（秸秆）;进行9 a小麦秸秆还田,免耕、深松和轮耕措施提高了还田秸秆的表观腐殖化系数,其中NS处理的表观腐殖化系数显著高于翻耕处理。     

耕作措施对华北夏玉米田土壤温度和酶活性的影响

为探讨长期耕作措施下华北平原夏玉米生长季土壤温度与酶活性的变化规律,本研究对四种耕作处理（免耕秸秆还田NTS,旋耕秸秆还田RTS,翻耕秸秆还田CTS和翻耕秸秆不还田CT）下土壤层次的温度和酶活性进行了测定和分析。结果表明：同一土壤层次的各耕作处理均从6：00．18：00呈现正弦波的变化特征;免耕、旋耕等保护性耕作处理在玉米的生育期内温度变化平稳,日均差均小于翻耕秸秆还田和翻耕秸秆不还田;免耕秸秆还田处理土壤酶活性最高,脲酶活性在夏玉米的3个生育期（播种期、大喇叭口期和收获期）分别高于翻耕秸秆不还田处理28．98％,35．62％和24．9％,碱性磷酸酶分别高32．7％,11．94％和10．39％,脱氢酶分别高27．53％,20．39％和30．53％,旋耕和翻耕秸秆还田处理3种酶的活性也明显高于翻耕秸秆不还田处理;旋耕与翻耕秸秆还田处理脲酶和碱性磷酸酶的差异不显著,脱氢酶的差异达到了5％的差异显著水平;通过研究表明在华北平原采用少免耕为主的保护性耕作措施,可以提高土壤酶活性,降低成本,提高经济效益。     

Dynamics of Organic Carbon and Microbial Biomass in Alluvial Soil With Tillage and Amendments in Rice-wheat Systems

Rice-wheat cropping systems of the Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP) occupying 12 million ha of productive land are important for the food security of South Asia. There are, however, concerns that yield and factor productivity trends in these systems are declining/stagnating in recent years. Decrease in soil organic carbon is often suggested as a reason for such trends. A field experiment was conducted to study the soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) dynamics in the rice-wheat systems. Use of organic amendments and puddling of soil before rice transplanting increased SOC and MBC contents. Microbial biomass carbon showed a seasonal pattern. It was low initially, reached its peak during the flowering stages in both rice and wheat and declined thereafter. Microbial biomass carbon was linearly related to SOC in both rice and wheat indicating that SOC could be used as a proxy for MBC.     

Degradation of isofenphos in cornfields with conservation tillage practices 1

Abstract

Isofenphos (Amaze®, Oftanol®, 1‐methylethyl 2‐[[ethoxy‐[(l‐methylethyl)aminol phosphinothloyl]oxy]benzoate) was applied at planting to study the effects of four different tillage treatments (no‐tillage, fall chisel plow, Paraplow®, and fall moldboard plow) on isofenphos degradation rates and routes in cornfields over two growing seasons. Soil samples were taken at intervals extending over 69 days each growing season. Tillage treatment had no significant effect on isofenphos degradation rates and products. However, the repeated application of isofenphos had a very significant effect on lsofenphos degradation. Degradation was much more rapid the second year. A laboratory experiment comparing sterile and nonsterlle soils, with and without isofenphos history, confirmed enhanced mlcrobial degradation resulting from two consecutive years of isofenphos application. In the first year, isofenphos oxon was found at greater amounts relative to the second year. Soil bioassays conducted on soils collected from the field at different dates in the second year showed that effective control of larvae was no longer present 21 days after isofenphos application in the field.     

氮肥运筹和少免耕对麦田氮素径流流失的影响

采用田间小区定位试验研究了自然降雨条件下氮肥运筹和少免耕措施对稻麦两熟农田麦季氮素径流流失特征的影响。结果表明：自然降雨后麦田耕层土壤平均水分质量分数26.34%为径流事件发生的临界土壤水分质量分数。常规施肥（T0）条件下,麦季径流水量达2185.05 m3·hm-2,径流侵蚀泥沙量达716.08 kg.hm-2,少免耕（T2）处理增加麦田径流水量达29.67%,减少径流侵蚀泥沙量达13.96%,而肥料运筹（T1）与T0处理差异不显著;就整个麦季而言,T0处理条件下,径流水全氮（TN）平均质量浓度和径流侵蚀泥沙TN平均质量分数分别为10.51 mg·L-1和1.19 g·kg-1,T1处理显著降低径流水TN质量浓度和侵蚀泥沙TN质量分数分别达11.63%和5.93%,T2处理显著降低径流侵蚀泥沙TN质量分数达7.95%;麦季氮素径流流失主要集中在小麦生育前期,包括径流水氮素流失量和径流侵蚀过程中由泥沙流失的氮素量。T0处理条件下,氮素流失总量达31.76 kg·hm-2,其中,径流水氮素流失量占麦季氮素总流失量95%以上,T1处理减少麦季氮素总流失量达9.25%,而T2处理则增加麦季氮素总流失量达16.75%。     

耕作方式对太湖地区冬小麦生长季N_2O排放的影响

采用静态暗箱-气相色谱法对2009年11月至2010年6月冬小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)生长季N2O排放通量进行田间原位观测,研究不同耕作方式(免耕、少耕、传统耕作)对太湖地区稻麦轮作系统麦季土壤N2O排放的影响。结果表明:有植株参与下免耕、少耕和传统耕作的冬小麦生长季N2O平均排放通量分别为63.75μg·m-2·h-1、39.94μg·m-2.h-1和48.83μg·m-2·h-1,无植株参与下分别为73.48μg·m-2·h-1、52.97μg·m-2·h-1和63.60μg·m-2·h-1,麦季N2O排放通量的季节变化与5 cm、10 cm土壤温度呈显著或极显著线性正相关(r=0.400*～0.654**,n=28)。小麦种植对N2O的排放影响较大,无植株参与的N2O季节总排放量显著高于有植株参与的处理(P<0.05);耕作方式显著影响冬小麦农田N2O季节总排放量(P<0.05),有植株参与下麦季N2O总排放量少耕较免耕和传统耕作分别减少37.3%和17.9%,无植株参与下分别减少28.0%和16.7%。研究表明太湖地区冬小麦采用少耕措施可减少麦季N2O的排放。     

Effects of Alternative Cotton Agriculture on Avian and Arthropod Populations

Abstract:  Among the major agricultural crops in the southeastern United States, cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) generally provides the least suitable habitat for most early successional songbirds. Newer cropping approaches, such as use of conservation tillage and stripcover cropping, offer hope for improving the ecological value of cotton fields. We examined the effects of clover stripcover cropping with conservation tillage versus conventionally grown cotton with either conventional or conservation tillage on avian and arthropod species composition and field use in east-central Georgia. Stripcover fields had higher bird densities and biomass and higher relative abundance of arthropods than both conservation tillage and conventional fields. During migration and breeding periods, total bird densities on stripcover fields were 2–6 times and 7–20 times greater than on conservation and conventional fields, respectively. Abundance and biomass for epigeal arthropods were also greatest on stripcover fields during much of the breeding season. Although the clover treatment attracted the highest avian and arthropod densities, conservation fields still provided more wildlife and agronomic benefits than conventional management. Our findings suggest that both conservation tillage and stripcropping systems will improve conditions for birds in cotton, with stripcropped fields providing superior habitat. The reduction of inputs possible with the clover system could allow farmers to lower costs associated with conventional cotton production by $282–317/ha. This reduction of input, coupled with similar or possibly increased yield over conventional systems makes stripcover cropping not only a good choice for reducing negative impacts on wildlife and surrounding ecosystems, but also an economically desirable one.     

Soil and water conservation method adoption in a highly erosive watershed: the case of Southwest Oklahoma's Fort Cobb watershed

A major source of pollution in agricultural landscapes is surface runoff and non-point source pollution generated from agricultural production practices. In-stream, stream bank and riparian conservation/management practices can be implemented to reduce sediment loading solely or in conjunction with upland practices. Survey results from producers in the Fort Cobb Reservoir watershed, a highly erosive watershed in southwest Oklahoma with a history of state and federal conservation programs, provide information required for improving understanding of operators’ likelihood of adoption. Two models of soil and water conservation were estimated, a logit model of likelihood of enrollment and a Poisson model of the total number of practices adopted. Results reinforced previous findings that attitudes, gender and education influence conservation program enrollment. Farming experience, gender and attitudes towards conservation increased the total number of practices adopted.
