ZHANG Jia-En, LUO Shi-Ming
2006, 14(4): 1-4.
Abstract(1111) PDF(1183)
Abstract:
Circular economy plays a key role on the sustainable development and drows more and more attention from the world recent years. Among the world, China is a country with the largest population and a very high proportion of agriculture in its national economy, so it is very urgent and necessary to develop circular economy in agriculture. There are steady bases for the development of agricultural circular economy in China. Agricultural circular economy involves a variety of aspects including the coupling and reusing of materials and energies during the farming process between different agricultural departments, between agriculture and industry, and between rural and urban areas. Chinese ecological agriculture is a mode to achieve agricultural circular economy. However, ecological agriculture is faced with many challenges in the development of modern economy in China, so it should be oriented and reconstructed to meet the requirement of the modern industrialization, standardization, security and multi-function development. Moreover, a series of countermeasures should be taken to ensure the development of agricultural circular economy, including the establishment of laws and regulations related to circular economy, the industrialization of eco-agriculture, the pollution-free treatment and utilization of agricultural and industrial wastes and the construction of eco-agriculture park.

Effects of biodiversity on functions and stability of ecosystem
ZHANG Bu-Chong, LI Feng-Min, HUANG Gao-Bao
2006, 14(4): 12-15.
Abstract(1317) PDF(1360)
Abstract:
The appearances of the theory on optimized ecosystem functions caused by biodiversity, the view of ecological system functions dete rmined by component organism functions and the other non-tilting views have produced the diversified research results on the relation between ecological system functions and biodiversity. However, it is sure that the loss of key species impairs the functions of ecosystem. But for those structure-diversity ecosystems the key species can stabilize the ecosystem functi ons and to some extent mitigate the pressure triggered by species alteration. Studies on relations between stability of ecosystem and biodiversity have not achi eved an agreement, either. The common understanding between biodiversity and sta bility is that reduction in biodiversity can lead to a corresponding decrease in stability of ecosystem. However, there exists another different view asserting there is not any relation between stability and diversity. Through the comparison among researches on local diversity, regional diversity and global diversity and their corresponding measures of protection, we hold the view that the increase of biodiversity within different ranges can be achieved by providing local exper imental plots suitable for its reproductive condition for different species, by controlling regional biodiversity with small-sized species, and by all kinds of natural experimental methods.

2006, 14(4): 34-37.
Abstract(1330) PDF(728)
Abstract:
In recent years, the area of acid deposition /acid rain (AR)in China is expanded increasingly. The study on monitoring technology on injury caused by AR is needed and stringent especially for the forecast and judgement of AR and the reduction of agricultural losses. According to the rese arches, the monitoring technology on injured plants by AR includes monitoring of visual injury and physiological injury. Monitored parameters involved in the latter are photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, cell membrane permeability, chlorophy ll content, cell pH value, stress reaction of activated oxygen defense system, etc. Measuring methods of injury, their advantages and shortages, the effect of AR monitor technology on agro-environmental monitoring and evaluation, agro-regional assignment environmental protection of acid deposition area are discu ssed briefly in the paper. Because the injury of crops caused by AR involves in physiology, bio-chemistry, zoology and so on, screening out the key index based on ecological and physiological researches on different crops under AR stress becomes the most important question. So it must be pointed out that the study, in the future, should emphasize on the improvement of the monitoring system and the expansion of the monitored objects.

LIU Jin-Ping, ZHANG Xin-Quan, CHEN Yong-Xia
2006, 14(4): 41-43.
Abstract(1179) PDF(714)
Abstract:
10 production indexes of genet for 44 cases of wild limpograss from southwest district of China were compared. Significant difference was observed on the productivity of these limpograss. The results indicate that every production index of genet presents a great variation. And correlations between different indexes are observed. The variance analysis of yield indexes shows that stem/lamina is significantly-negatively correlated with the moisture of genet(r=-0.42563), and the moisture of lamina is positively correlated with the moisture of stem (r=0.69141), and the space distributing index is correlated with the stem/lamina (r=0.25985). According to the two main production indexes (first tiller number, second space distribution), the 44 cases of wild limpograss are classified into five types. Based on the productivity type, those resources can be studied and exploited to good purpose.

2006, 14(4): 44-46.
Abstract(1336) PDF(663)
Abstract:
The results of investigation on the structure of the protective forest belt in sandy area in Maowusu indicate that the structures of the diameter at breast height(DBH)and the height of pure forest of Pinus sylvestris var. are more regular than those of the mixed forest. And it coincides with the changing rule of general species. The crown of the Pinus sylvestris var. is lower than that of mixed forest and P. tabulaeformis. And it decreases with the height of the tree increasing, forming a thick tree crown. According to the analysis, the forest square or the forest belt of the Pinus sylvestris var. should be developed in order to improve the ecological efficiency.

2006, 14(4): 47-50.
Abstract(1032) PDF(1074)
Abstract:
The analytical results of the effects of different harvesting ways in artificial forest outing areas on forest landscape ecology show that the influence of clear cutting on forest landscape ecology is heavier than that of selective cutting, the impact of belt-shaped clear cutting on forest landscape ecology is more serious than that of lump-shaped clear cutting. The disposing form of cutting area in a sequent plot arrangement is better than that in an interval plot arrangement. The effect of clear cutting in a large cutting area on forest landscape ecology is graver than that of clear cutting in a small cutting area. The influence of selective cutting on forest landscape ecology increases as the intensity of selective cutting is higher, and the effect of selective cutting according to the diameter of wood on forest landscape ecology is heavier than that of intensively selective cutting. The influence of skidding operation on forest landscape ecology is related with skidding ways. The influen ces of different skidding ways are in the following sequence: walking tractor skidding>pushing cart skidding>dirt chute skidding>winch skidding>suspended cable skidding. The effects of skidding road on forest landscape ecology increase as the density of skidding road increases. And the countermeasures for decreasing effect of harvesting on forest landscape ecology are put forward.

Abstract(999) PDF(888)
Abstract:
In the semi-arid areas of southern Ningxia, the techniques of water harvesting and water conservation in millet planting with film-mulching and FA seeding can effectively enhance the water supplying capacity and temperature of cultivated soil, and increase the yield and water use efficiency of millet. The experimental results show that the hole seeding under the film can make the millet emerge 4d ahead compared with other treatments, the millet yields of hole seeding under the film and furrow seeding with the film are in creased by 131.92% and 98.40% compared with those without the film. The millet yield of FA seeding is increased by 10.42% compared that without FA seeding. The water use efficiency of water harvesting and conservation techniques is increased by 0.065~0.886kg/m3 compared with CK. Furthermore, the planting techniques of film mulching and FA seeding are more beneficial to farmers bringing farmer more incomes.

LIU Chun-Li, SHAO Ming-An
2006, 14(4): 54-56.
Abstract(1522) PDF(914)
Abstract:
Based on a case study of a slope in the wind-water erosion crisscross region on the Loess Plateau, the dynamic changes of soil water under different land uses were analyzed during the rain season. The results show that the variation of 0~300cm soil water storage of four types of land uses are different, ranking in following order: degraded alfalfa land>wasteland>degraded woodland>farmland, with a weak spatial variability. The decreasing tendencies of soil water in a soil profile with the increase of the depth are obviously different among the different land uses, the order of the variability is as follows: waste land>degraded woodland >degraded alfalfa>farmland. The soil water content and the plant biomass fluctuate along the slope from the top to its bottom showing that better vegetation consumes more soil water.

XIE Ying-Ge, XUE Xu-Zhang, WANG Guo-Dong, SHEN Wei-Bo
2006, 14(4): 57-60.
Abstract(938) PDF(712)
Abstract:
The influence of four non-surf ace soil profile layers(AB, Ab, Bk, Bg)on the growth of crop root system and nutrient adsorption were studied by using Chinese cabbage (Jinglu 2)cultivated in pots with 3 different fertilizer treatments: no fertilization, urea treatment, and diammonium orthophosphate treatment. The results indicate that no apparent difference among the treatments in seedling emergence is observed. The dry matter accumulation is increased with the addition of urea and diammonium orthophosphate, but the latter is much more effective. Root-shoot ratio is the lowest in the diammonium orthophosphate treatment; the plant nitrogen content is increased with the addition of urea or diammonium orthophosphate. Plant phosphorus content is increased apparently in diammonium orthophosphate treatment. The experimental results suggest that sub-surface soil layers show no impedient effect on crop growth, and the supplement of nitrogen and phosp horus as well as proper tillage and irrigation would help to improve the product ivity of sub-surface soil.

ZONG Liang-Gang, ZHOU Jun, LUO Min, LU Li-Jun, FEI Xin-Dong
2006, 14(4): 61-64.
Abstract(1731) PDF(851)
Abstract:
Based on two years field research, the soil fertility and the soil environmental quality of typical tea gardens in Jiangsu Province were analyzed. The results show that the tea garden soils are generally fecund, but the soil organic matter content is appreciably low in some tea gardens. Among the fertilizers applied, the rapeseed meal is of reasonable nutrient composition, high organic matter content and low heavy mental content, so it is the best organic fertilizer for a long-term application in tea gardens. In the regular management of tea gardens, the fertilization is usually delayed 1~2 months. Acidification is serious in the majority of tea garden soil, moreover, the lead content of soil exceeds the standard in a few areas. The high lead content of soil can cause the lead content in tea to exceed the standard, thus influencing the safety of tea quality.

WANG Hui-Hai, SHA Li-Qing, YANG Xiao-Dong
2006, 14(4): 65-67.
Abstract(1157) PDF(1099)
Abstract:
The characters of ecological environment of soil under rice straw mulch for many years in organic tea plantation were studied. The results indicate that the rice straw mulch can improve the nutrient regime of soil. The contents of organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphate, and available nitrogen, phosphate, potassium of 0~40cm soil under rice straw mulch are 2.00 times, 1.87 times, 1.66 times, 1.91 times, 1.91 times, 2.56 times, respectively, of those of the check. The rice straw mulch can increase the amount of soil microoganism. The amounts of fungi and bacteria of 0~40cm soil under rice straw mulch are 3.54 times and 4.46 times, respectively, of those in the check. The rice straw mulch can improve the water status of soil in dry season. The water contents of 0~10cm, 10~20cm and 0~30cm soil layers under rice straw mulch are increased by 26.24%, 13.92% and 12.38%, respectively, compared to the check. The rice straw mulch can improve the animal conditon of soil. The total amounts of soil animals of 0~40cm soil layer under rice straw is 1.87 times of that of the check. Therefore, the rice straw mulch should be energetically expanded in organic tea plantation.
Effects of different acidic materials on pH value of calcareous soil
YAO Xiao-Qin, MA Wen-Qi, CHU Jian -Zhou
2006, 14(4): 68-71.
Abstract(1450) PDF(966)
Abstract:
The effects of acidic material on calcareous soil pH were studied by soil culture experiments in lab. The results indicate that the phosphoric acid can effectively reduce the pH value of calcareous soil and the proper acid amount is 3.27g/100g soil which can reduce soil pH from 8.89 to about 6.0. It is not practical to use pH 5.5 phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid solutions to acidify calcareous soil. NH4H2PO4 not only presents better acidification effects, but also has pH buffer capability. It can reduce soil pH value from 8.89 to 6.39 and keeps the acid condition longer as adding 2.3g NH4H2PO4 pre 100g calcareous soil. As an adding dosage of S is 5% of soil, the soil pH value can decrease from 8.90 to 7.0~7.5 in 30 dyas.

ZHANG Yong-Qing, MIAO Guo-Yuan
2006, 14(4): 72-75.
Abstract(1076) PDF(722)
Abstract:
Effects of fertilization depth on root system distribution and senescence of winter wheat were studied on the Experimental Farm of Shanxi Agricultural University with a soil column culture. The results indicate that the root system distribution changes with fertilization depth. Fertilization in the depth of 50~100cm can lead to the increase of root weight, root vigor of sub-layer, flag leaf area and net photosynthesis ratio, meanwhile it keeps the activities of SOD and POD in root system at a high level. The content of MDA in wheat root system is decreased, and the senescence of wheat delays,the yield increases. The study also shows that super-deep (150cm) application of fertilizer has an inductive effect on root growing downwards also, but the total root weight and yield decreases sharply. It is suggested that the 50~100cm depth of fertilization could be used as an effective way to delay senescence and increase yield.

WU Wei-Mo, LI Shi-Qing, WANG Rui-Jun, SHAO Ming-An
2006, 14(4): 76-81.
Abstract(898) PDF(692)
Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out in the south part of loess plateau on the soil with 632mm annual precipitation and eight winter wheat varieties, “NR9405”,“9430”,“Yanshi No.9”,“Xiaoyan No.6”,“Shan229”,“Xinong2208”,“Aifeng No.3”and “Shang188” were used as indicators to study the effects of genotype and nitrogen fertilizer on winter wheat photosynthetic parameters and leaf morphogenesis. The results show that genotypes differ significantly in photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatic conductance (Gs), transpiration rate (E) and short-time water use efficiency (WUEst) of second leaf at booting and flag leaf at filling. The application of nitrogen fertilizer can significantly decrease the transpiration rate (E) of second leaf at booting, but it has no significantly effect on any other physiological parameters both at booting and at filling. Genotypes differ significantly in the length, width and area of second leaf and flag leaf, these leaf morphogenesis traits are increased significantly by the application of nitrogen fertilizer. During the grain-filling, the flag leaf SPAD is affected by genotype and nitrogen fertilizer and the leaf senescence index is affected only by genotype, not by nitrogen fertilization.

WU Wei-Mo, LI Shi-Qing, SHAO Ming-An
2006, 14(4): 82-88.
Abstract(1012) PDF(743)
Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out in the south part of loess plateau with 632mm annual precipitation and three varieties of winter wheat,“9430”,“Xiaoyan No.6”,“Shang 188”were used as indicating crops to study the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on grain nitrogen and phosphorus accumulation during the grain-filling period. The results show that during the grain-filling period, the grain nitrogen concentration presents a “high-low-high” temporal changing pattern, but the grain phosphorus concentration declines linearly. The final grain nitrogen concentration is coincident with the grain nitrogen concentration during the grain-filling period in six treatments.“Xiaoyan No.6”grain nitrogen concentration is always higher than that of “Shang 188” and “9430”during the grain-filling period. The grain nitrogen accumulation rate is higher than that of phosphorus; especially at the end of the grain-filling period. There is a significant positive relationship between the length of active grain nitrogen accumulation period and the thousand-kernel weight. Increasing grain nitrogen accumulation rate can increase the grain protein content. Genotype has a significant effect on the active grain nitrogen accumulation period and the average nitrogen accumulation rate, but has not any significant effect on the active grain phosphorus accumulation period and the average phosphorus accumulation rate. Although nitrogen application has not any significant effect on the parameters of grain nitrogen and phosphorus accumulation during the grain-filling period, it could increase the grain nitrogen concentration at mature.

2006, 14(4): 89-93.
Abstract(1207) PDF(852)
Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out in the south part of Loess Plateau with 632mm precipitation and eight winter wheat varieties, “NR9405”,“9430”,“Yanshi No.9”,“Xiaoyan No.6”,“Shan229”,“Xinong2208”,“Aifeng No.3”and “Shang188”were used as indicating crops to study the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on the yield components of different genotypic winter wheat. The results show that there is a significant difference of ears per unit area, kernels per unit area,tillers per plant,proportion of tillers in the total ears at maturity, kernels per spike,1000 kernel weight, grain volume, grain bulk density, yield per unit area among different genotypic winter wheat. The application of nitrogen fertilizer has a positive effect on plant spike, grain yield per unit area, 1000 kernel weight, and has no significant effect on harvest index. Increase of spike per unit area and valid tillers per plant causes the decrease of 1000 kernel weight; also increasing kernel volume causes the increase of 1000 kernel weight. Spikes grains, tillers per unit area, proportion of tillers in the total areas, kernel weight per plant are the main factors affecting the wheat's yield.

2006, 14(4): 98-101.
Abstract(1636) PDF(759)
Abstract:
A pot culture with the soil-less medium, i.e. the mixture of three solid materials (pearlite: coal cinder: sand=50:100:190), was conducted to study the effects of three new-type compound fertilizers on the yield, the contents of nitrate, heavy metal and nutrient quality of romaine lettuce. Results indicate that the yields of romaine lettuce under different treatments vary significantly and the fertilizers is in the order of organic-inorganic compound fertilizer>bio-compound fertilizer>inorganic nutrient solution (check)>organic compound fertilizer according to the yield of lettuce with different fertilization. The contents of nitrate of romaine lettuce range from 1375mg/kg to 3935mg/kg and the maximum of nitrate appears in the check and the minimum in the organic-inorganic compound fertilizer treatment. Three compound fertilizers can reduce the nitrate contents of romaine lettuce by 37.9%~72.5% as compared with the check. Contents of Hg, Pb and Cr in romaine lettuce under three compound fertilizer treatments are lower than GB (the national limit indices of China) and reduced by 20.8%~83.1% as compared with the check. Total accumulations of Hg, Pb, and Cr in romaine lettuce account for 11.1%~63.0%,38.2%~78.7% and 10.9%~53.5%, respectively, under the compound fertilizer treatments. Applying compound fertilizer can obviously improve soluble sugar and Vc contents, but a different effect on the content of amino acid in romaine lettuce is observed.

2006, 14(4): 102-105.
Abstract(1362) PDF(824)
Abstract:
The orthogonal design, L8(27), was adopted to study the effects of gibberellin (GA), ammonium molybdate (Mo) and dicyandiumide (DCD) on the yield, nitrate content and nutritive quality of lettuce. The results indicate that the yields of lettuce are increased by 10.7%~41.6% by three chemicals combined treatments with the following sequence, Mo>GA>DCD. The nitrate contents in stem and leaf are decreased by 21.8%~54.5% and 4.3%~40.2%, respectively, with the following sequence, GA>DCD>Mo. Compared with CK, the contents of Vc and amino acid in stem are reduced while the water content increases according to the yield of lettuce with different fertilization. The contents of Vc and amino acid in leaf are improved but the water content does not change obviously. The spraying of ammonium molybdate can lead to the accumulation of Mo in lettuce, but it does not exceed the safe limit. According to the yield, nutritive content and healthy quality of lettuce, the optimum treatment is A1B1C1 (GA 25mg/L+Mo 150mg/L+DCD 12.5mg/pot).

GAO Yang, DUAN Ai-Wang
2006, 14(4): 115-118.
Abstract(1121) PDF(843)
Abstract:
On the basis of observation on the incident and transmitted photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) of the winter wheat canopy under the monoculture and intercropping ways, the diurnal change of intercepti on photosynthetically active radiation (IPAR), the relationship between IPAR and leave area index(LAI), and the shading of the winter wheat were studied. The results show that there is a bimodal curve in the diurnal change of IPAR. When LAI is lower than 2, IPAR of intercropping is about 50% of that of monoculture; when LAI is larger than 2, IPAR is almost equal under two planting ways. In addition, there is a good relationship between IPAR and LAI. The results also show that there is a bimodal curve in the diurnal change of fraction of shading(FS), and a good relationship between FS and height(H).

ZHANG Lei, SONG Feng-Bin, CUI Liang
2006, 14(4): 122-125.
Abstract(1391) PDF(1445)
Abstract:
The availability of heavy metals to plants is one of the topics in the study of environmental science. This paper by using the recent achievements, presents an overview on effects of chemical fertilizers on availability of heavy metals. Fertilizers can alter soil properties such as pH, ionic constituents in solution and CEC or can directly react with heavy metal ions. All these effects would change the forms of heavy metals in soil and the absorbing process of plants. Therefore, when applying fertilizers to soil, their types and their rates should be considered, especially for heavy metal-contaminated soils.

Accumulating effects of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) on copper in soil
WANG Yong-Fen, XI Lei
2006, 14(4): 131-133.
Abstract(893) PDF(777)
Abstract:
Pot experiments cultivating sunflower in different artificially copper-contaminated soil in greenhouse were conducted. The results show that the biological properties of sunflower such as dry weight of shoot, dry weight of root, leaf area are reduced with the increase of copper concentration added to soil. The root growth is seriously inhabited under 200mg/kg Cu treatment. But the maximal plant height is gotten under the 100mg/kg Cu treatment. It is also found that the accumulating ability of copper of sunflower changes with the copper concentration. The root of sunflower accumulates more copper when the Cu concentration in soil is lower, while the Cu contents in shoot are very low. Under the treatment of 100mg/kg Cu in soil, the Cu content in the leaves is higher than that in the root, reaching 857±297mg/kg (dry weight), and the ratio of Cu accumulation in leaf to that in root reaches 1.27. So the sunflower can extract more copper by the harvesting because there is a higher accumulation of Cu in the sunflower shoots and leaves when Cu concentration in the soil is higher, but the growth of sunflower is restrained. So when sunflower is used to remediate copper-contaminated soil, other means such as inoculation of rhizospheric microorganisms, transgenic, agro-biological environmental engineering technique, and so on should be considered to increase its biomass.

2006, 14(4): 134-137.
Abstract(1350) PDF(790)
Abstract:
Methane emission fluxes from rice-rape rotation paddy fields were measured by the static chamber-gas chromatographic techniques in hilly area of the central Sichuan Basin. The results show that CH4 emission from paddy fields varies remarkably and seasonally during the rice-growing season, and the peak value of methane emission is presented in the metaphase of rice bearing stage. The average flux of CH4 emission from paddy fields is 6.20 mg/m2·h. The influencing factors on CH4 emission from paddy fields are discussed in this paper. The rice plants play a key role in the methane emission during the early growing stage of rice; while the temperature plays a key role in the methane emission during the tassel and mature stage of rice. The total amount of CH4 emission during the rice growing season is about 173.96kg/hm2.

WANG Song-Liang
2006, 14(4): 141-145.
Abstract(1056) PDF(799)
Abstract:
13 cultivars of Brassica Chinensis and 11 of B. oleracea were analyzed using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to investigate the pattern of genetic variation related to Cd accumulation and tolerance of shoot under Cd stress. 31 well-amplified and highly reproductive polymorphic bands by 5 of total 8 random primers were scored, with length between 100~2000bp. Two polygenic trees, of B. Chinensis and B. oleracea, respectively, computed using micro-evolution method show that the cultivars with high shoot Cd accumulation present tight clustering tendence, and it is of highly significant linear regression between the shoot Cd content and their correspondingly genetic distance. The genetic diversity is found higher in subgroup of high shoot Cd content than that in subgroup of low shoot Cd content. Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) of the RAPD markers give highly statistical significance to the subgroupings of populations according to the shoot Cd content, indicating that RAPD markers detect a polymorphism related to the Cd accumulation. Finally, two RAPD bands, one for B. chinensis (350bp), another for B. oleracea (410bp), presented in high shoot Cd content subgroup, but exclusive to the low one are identified.

2006, 14(4): 146-149.
Abstract(1020) PDF(1069)
Abstract:
The effects of paraquat at five different concentrations on the population of microorganism and the growth of bacteria, actinomyces and fungi in soil were studied. The results show that the herbicide inhabits the population of microorganism and the growth of bacteria, actinomyces and fungi in soil. And the inhibiting effect is more obvious with the increasing of concentration of the herbicide. The inhibiting rate of the population of bacteria is 13.3%~100% and the diameter of inhibiting circle is 0.07~0.93cm, that of the population of actinomyces is 8.6%~100% and that of inhibiting circle is 0~3.00cm, that of the population of fungi is 7.6%~100% and the inhib iting rate of the growth of fungi is 1.4%~77.3%. The inhibiting effect becomes weak with the prolonging of time.

2006, 14(4): 150-152.
Abstract(1123) PDF(961)
Abstract:
The colony-diameter methods recommended by FAO were used to evaluate the toxicity of eight insecticides, four her bicides, three plant-growth regulators and one antibiotic to Coniothyrium minitans Campbell. Results show that among insecticides, cypermethrin, abamectin, chlorpyrfos and dichlorovos are most toxic to the biocontrol agent (EC50>MRAR, Maximal recommended application rate), followed by phoxim and omethoate, however, imidacloprid and methomyl hardly have inhibitory effects. All herbicides tested can strongly inhibit mycelial growth and their EC50 values are significantly lower than the MRAR. Under the recommended application rates, all plant-growth regulators tested are safe to the fungus. Although streptomycin sulfate has some inhibiting effects on the growth of C. minitans, its EC50 value is higher than the MRAR. It is suggested that the plant-growth regulators, such as naphthaleneacetic acid, gibberellic acid, brassinolide, and insecticides, such as imidacloprid and methomyl may be safely used in the fields using C. minitans to control sclerotinia disease, but herbicide lactofen, haloxyfop-R-Methyl, paraquat and glyphosate should be restrictedly used.

2006, 14(4): 171-175.
Abstract(1285) PDF(774)
Abstract:
Two regression models and nine indices of aggregation[K、C、CA、I、Iδ、M*、M*/x、L*、L*/(1+x)]were used to test the spatial distribution patterns of population of Galerucella birmanica Jacoby in the water chestnut fields. The results indicate that the distribution patterns belong to an aggregated distribution and incline to an even distribution at a low density. The beetles occur in the loose colonies. The regression relation between the size of individual group (L*) and the average density (x) is L*=17.7117+1.5701x. The testing result of using the model, x=kc(P-1/kc0-1),to analyze the correlation between the rate of insect-free plants and average intensity shows that this model is practical to estimate the average intensity of insects in fields. The reason for the aggregation has been analyzed with Blackith's λ. The result shows that their aggregation seems to be due to both the biological characters of population of beetles and the growth of water chestnut.

2006, 14(4): 182-184.
Abstract(1182) PDF(854)
Abstract:
The environment of naturally ventilated sheep house was tested and analyzed at a sheep farm in Inner Mongolia in winter. The results show that the average indoor temperature and relative humidity of sheep house at night are -2.8~1.2 ℃ and 64.5%~73.5%, respectively. The indoor temperature and the relative humidity of sheep house are influenced by the outdoor temperature and the outdoor relative humidity. The indoor temperature is 9~12℃ higher than the outdoor one, and the temperature indoor fluctuates less than that outdoor. The air velocity, CO2 and NH3 concentration are suitable for sheep requirement. The results show that the indoor temperature and the relative humidity are obvious different when the sheep house orientation is different. The indoor temperature of houses facing to the south is 2~3℃ higher than that to the east. The indoor temperature of houses with the windows closed is 2~4℃ higher than that with the north windows opened. The naturally ventilated sheep house improves the environment situation to some degrees and alleviates the hazard of inclement weather to the sheep industry. But the house without any heating system can not meet the environment requests of lying lamb in winter.

2006, 14(4): 190-194.
Abstract(1914) PDF(1008)
Abstract:
The study was conducted by using in vitro gas production technique to investigate the fermentation characteristics of a compound forage mixed by silage of corns and rice straws(50∶50)and different proportional gramineae grasses.The results show that the maximum theoretic gas production,rate of gas production and lag time of gas production present different changing patterns,respectively,with the variation of mixed proportion.The obvious positive associative effects are noted when the mixture of rice straw and silage corn is mixed with Ponnisetum hydridum or Lolium perenne with the proportion of 25∶75.The significantly(P<0.001) positive relationship is observed between gas production and content of crude protein or neutral detergent soluble matter,and the significantly(P<0.001) negative relationship is found between gas production and content of neutral detergent fiber or acid detergent fiber.It can be concluded that adding pastures rich in fermentable carbohydrate and/or digestible protein into low-quality forage is essential and necessary to improve utilization efficiency of crude forage.

2006, 14(4): 195-199.
Abstract(1118) PDF(1841)
Abstract:
According to tomato's structural characteristics and its developmental rules of morphology,a dynamic and stochastic architectural model was set up by applying the theory of finite state automation.By the investigation on the real plant,four macro-levels were abstracted to describe the architecture of tomato,and two fundamental concepts,namely physiological age(PHYAGE) and growing age (GA),were proposed to simulate its growth,branching and death process.Binomial law was used to model the stochastic number of nodes on some growth axis.Markov process was explored to simulate its ramification pattern.With the parameters got from the experimental data,the architectures of tomato at different stages were reproduced.This dynamic model will provide a basis to interface with function-oriented model in order to set up an interactive structural-functional tomato model for the further study.

2006, 14(4): 200-203.
Abstract(1154) PDF(794)
Abstract:
Two parts of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) were improved.One is that the parameters “xminjand xmaxj”of the original model(xij-xminj)/(xmaxj-xminj)are substituted by the parameter“x0j
of a new model(xij-x0j)/x0j,which is obtained from an experiment.The other change is that the linear formula “P(xij)=1+4×(xij-xminj)/(xmaxj-xminj)” is replaced by a parabola formula “P(xij)=[(xij-x0j)/x0j]n”. The comprehensive benefits of irrigation systems of wheat were evaluated with two models,and the results are different between two models.The results of the new model break away from the relative comparison of pure mathematics in the original model and can reflect the true value both of the individual and comprehensive benefit more accurately.So the results of the new model are more beneficial and practical to production.

The principles and the theory of landscape ecology were used to comprehensively study the landscape patterns of the headstream,the river valley of middle-down reaches and the Chaoyang branch of Buerhatong River.The results show that the forest land area is the biggest and occupies 64.9% of the total area,dry famland 19.7%,paddy field 3.6%,lawn 3.3%,town and residential area 2.3%,wetland(including river,reservoir and swamp) 0.7%.The number of dry farmland patches is the greatest,the area of forest land patches is the largest in average,and the variant coefficient of the patch areas is the biggest.Forested land occupies a most proportion in forest land.The proportion of forest land reduces obviously from the upper reaches to the middle-down area,among these changes the proportion of forested land area reduces by 30% rapidly,those of shrub,thin stocked land and other forest land increases by 8%.The farmland area in the middle-down reaches increases by 18% compared with that in upper reaches.The middle-down reaches is the most in the number of patches,the smallest in the mean patch size and the variant coefficient of patch size,the biggest in edge density,and relatively bigger in Shannons diversity index and Shannons evenness index.

Abstract:
Based on the Landsat TM images and field survey data,the changes of altitude variation of landscape diversity,landscape heterogeneity and landscape dynamics from 1986 to 2001 in eight anthropo-disturbed regions of Taishan Mountain were studied with the aids of 3S techniques.The results indicate that the ratio of landscape patches change caused by human disturbance in south region is higher than that in the north region.The change of landscape structure in south region is obvious during the past fifteen years,and little changes happen in the north region.The change of landscape diversity is mainly manifested in the high altitude (>900m) of north region and the low altitude (<900m) of south region.The results also indicate that the anthropogenic disturbance is the basic cause leading to the division of landscape patches.Landscape structure in the studied area has an obvious spatial-temporal variation characteristic.The change of landscape pattern characteristics is related to the intensity of anthropogenic disturbances.

Abstract:
The land is the ecosystem carrier. Land use changes affect the ecosystem structures and functions, and cause the changes of ecosystem service values. The paper analyzes the changes of land use and ecosystem service values from 1993 to 2000 in Hebei Province. Results show that the cultivated land, water area, swamp and unused land are decreased, but fruit land, woodland, grassland and building land are increased. Ecosystem service values are remarkably decreased in Hebei Province in the period of 1993~2000. Ecosystem service values are decreased from 15.73116 billion US dollars in 1993 to 15.23503 billion US dollars in 2000. The decreasing rate of ecosystem service value is 3.15%.

Abstract:
Two-factor-split experiment was conducted to study the effects of variety and fertilizer on the yield and the utilization of water and fertilizer of tartary buckwheat (Fagopyru m tartaricum). The results show that the yield of “Heifeng”is higher than that of “Qianwei”, and the yield of these two varieties is significant higher than that of “Shouyanggray”. The yield of these three varieties is increased significantly by applying both manure and chemical fertilizers. The optimum combination for fertilizers is one part manure with one part chemical fertilizer. Fertilizer and water use efficiency of tartary buckwheat can be improved by planting the suitable variety and applying fertilizers rationally.
