  Effects of Biochar on Soil and Fertilizer and Future Research 2011, 27 (15):  16-25.  Abstract + ( 4004 )   PDF ( 676394KB )   ( 4123 ) In order to boost the study and agricultural application of biochar in China, in the article, the research literatures and findings about biochar were retrospected and reviewed, and future research issues were suggested, the summaries were as follows: biochar was a solid byproduct derived from biomass pyrolysis in low or zero oxygen environment, highly organic carbon, porous, alkaline, highly capability of adsorption, multi-propose materials. Biochar was an excellent soil amendment which could increase soil organic carbon content, improve soil water-holding and nutrient-retention capacity, reduce nutrient losses from soils, and was beneficial to inhabit and activity of microbes in soils, especially for mycorrhizal fungi (MF). Biochar alone increased crop growth and yield in specific circumstances, but the effects of the co-application or combination of biochar with fertilizers on crop growth and yield showed positive in nearly all soils, which was attributed to reciprocal or synergistic effects of both fertilizer and biohcar because of fertilizer alleviating nutrient deficiency of biochar itself which endowed fertilizer with nutrient slow release characteristics. Biochar delayed nutrient release of fertilizer to soil, reduced nutrient losses from fertilizer and soil, increased nutrient utilizing efficiency, and was efficient-promoting carrier to fertilizer. Biochar was a carbon-sequestrating carrier which was extremely stable in soil, and could sequestrate carbon in soils for hundreds to thousand years. The multi-win technology was the thermal conversion of biomass wastes into biochar which was used to agriculture. However widely and deeply studies should be given to many issues about biochar. Thus, strong emphasis will given to basic and applied research on biochar in order to boost biochar production and agricultural use, finally agricultural ‘black revolution’ in 21st century.

Therefore, decreased nitrogen fertilizer’s amount based on soil testing and formulated fertilization at 10% or 15%, with applying water-solubility amino acid fertilizer, could achieve the aim of maintaining or improving yield, and it also had a considerable environmental benefit.

  Effects of Planting Density on the Population Growth of Fine Quality Hybrid Rice 2011, 27 (15):  40-43.  Abstract + ( 1139 )   PDF ( 588380KB )   ( 1073 ) The experiments were conducted to study the effects of planting density on the population growth of fine quality hybrid rice with ‘Yiyou 673’ as experimental material. The results showed that the parabola curve could be used to describe the relationship between rice yield and planting density. The suitable planting densities were 21.43-25 hole/m2. With the increase of planting density, the maximum tillers and panicles per square meter increased, while spike rate and grains per spike declined, and thus, the treatment of suitable planting density formed a larger storage capacity. The seed setting rate and 1000-grain weight showed no significant difference among planting density treatments. With the increase of planting density, the dry matter productivity also increased at different stages after transplanting, and then, the accumulation of structural and storage substances before heading & photosynthetic substance after heading all increased gradually, which provided the material basis on forming a larger storage capacity and maintaining sink-source balance. To improve the crop growth rate (CGR) had to improve the leaf area index (LAI), while the LAI increased at different stages with the increase of planting density. Therefore, the high CGR required rational close planting.

From 2006 to 2010, the Carbendazim resistance in S. sclerotiorum was widely spread throughout Jiangsu Province with the resistance frequencies of 63.9%, 24.0%, 17.1%, 16.7% and 9.8%, respectively. Although the resistance frequencies decreased year by year, most of them were highly resistant strains. Moreover, there was no significant difference on the performance of mycelial radial growth, pathogenicity, and sclerotial production between Carbendazim resistant and sensitive strains. In the five years, most isolates were considered sensitive to Dimethachlon. Only six isolates collected in Yancheng, Changzhou and Lianyungang showed normal growth at 5μg/mL. Moreover, the Dimethachlon resistance isolates were less fit than sensitive isolates in terms of mycelial radial growth, pathogenicity, and sclerotial production.

  Survey and Analysis on Soil Nutrient Level, Microorganism Population and Tobacco Diseases Infection in Limestone Area of Guangxi 2011, 27 (15):  292-296.  Abstract + ( 1260 )   PDF ( 604756KB )   ( 904 ) The soil nutrient, microorganism population, and tobacco disease were detected and analyzed in tobacco field in limestone area of Jingxi County, Guangxi Province. The results showed that soil pH was on the high side，except for available potassium, there was comparatively rich in organic matter, total nitrogen, and available phosphorus, potassium, manganese, iron, copper and zinc. It meant that soil fertility levels were adequate. And the contents of organic matter and total nitrogen of paddy field were significant higher than that of dry land (P<0.01). The total of microorganism in soil was 1.21×107-9.91×107 cfu/g. And the quantity of bacteria was dominant, followed by actinomyces, and then fungi. The quantity of bacteria in paddy field was significantly higher than that in dry land (P<0.05). For the tobacco disease, the uppermost one was tobacco potato Y virus disease, followed by tobacco black shank, and then tobacco bacterial wilt. Correlation analysis showed that the levels of soil organic matter and total nitrogen were key factors effect on the amount of soil microorganism and bacteria population. While the high rate of diseases infection maybe correlated with available phosphorus level and pH value of the soil.

  Preliminary Study on Toxicity of Supercritical Extract of Stellera chamaejasme L. to Tetranychus cinnabarinus and its Acaricidal Mechanism 2011, 27 (15):  297-300.  Abstract + ( 1076 )   PDF ( 595913KB )   ( 822 ) In order to study the toxicity and possible lethal mechanism of supercritical extract of Stellera chamaejasme L., the experiment was conducted. In this study, the contact toxicity of supercritical extract of Stellera chamaejasme L. (SCE) to Tetranychus cinnabarinus was tested using slide dip method, and dynamic toxicosis symptoms of SCE-exposed mites were also detailedly observed. The results showed that the contact toxicity LC50 value of SCE to T. cinnabarinus was 2.411 mg/mL at 24th h post-treatment. Some typical neurotoxic symptoms such as excitement and convulsions were observed in SCE-exposed mites. Subsequently, the changes of activities of AChE, MAO, Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase after exposed to SCE were assayed. The experiment showed that SCE could significantly inhibit the activities of AChE, MAO, Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase. The results led us to believe that SCE may be a neurotoxin.
