  Effects of Supplement Irrigation on Carbon Metabolism at Later Developing Stages and Yield of High-yield Wheat in Dry Land 林琪 2017, 33 (18):  7-12.  DOI: 10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb16100050 Abstract + ( 989 )   PDF ( 1212KB )   ( 392 ) To study the potential of high-yield winter wheat in dry land, the effects of supplementary irrigation on carbon metabolism in late growth stage of high-yield winter wheat in dry land were studied. The results showed that supplementary irrigation obviously regulated the carbon metabolism index of flag leaf in dry land. With the increase of supplementary irrigation time, the changes of soluble sugar and sucrose content in leaf and stem showed a single peak curve, which rose first and then declined. Because of excessive water, soluble sugar content in grain of W4 was relatively low in the early filling stage. Sugar in nutritive organs of W2 was stably supplied at the filling stage, which provided enough synthesis substrate for the accumulation of grain starch. The SPS and SS activity in flag leaves were the highest in W2. It showed that by a certain agronomic measures, dry land could have higher capability of water storage and moisture conservation, thus to reach the goal of“the dry land which are not drought”to a certain degree.

  Allelopathy of Different Potato Varieties on Millet Germination 2017, 33 (18):  13-20.  DOI: 10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb17030076 Abstract + ( 1230 )   PDF ( 1235KB )   ( 414 ) To study the allelopathy of potato extracts from different varieties and different plant parts on following crop millet, and screen out the previous crop potato varieties which are proper for the growth of millet, the potato extracts of different concentrations were prepared by using the ground part and the underground part of seven potato varieties respectively, and the seeds of millet were treated with the extract for the germination experiment. The results showed that all the extracts were significantly inhibited the germination rate, germination potential and germination index of millet. The inhibitory effect was enhanced with the increase of the extract concentration. The root length and vigor index of millet treated with every leaching solution were less than those of the control. The root length and vigor index showed a deceasing trend. The low concentration treatment promoted millet seedling height and fresh weight, while the high concentration treatment inhibited them. The allelopathy effects of different potato varieties on millet were different. In conclusion, the potato has allelopathy on the following crop millet, and‘Xingjia 2’,‘Feuray it’,‘Zhongshu No.5’have the least allelopathy on millet.

  The Optimum Period of Alfalfa Cutting under Drip Irrigation 2017, 33 (18):  25-28.  DOI: 10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb16110149 Abstract + ( 961 )   PDF ( 1059KB )   ( 385 ) Medicago Sativa L.cv. Xinmu No.4 was taken as the experiment material to study the effect of cutting time on growth and yield and quality of Alfalfa under frequent drip irrigation, in order to provide basic data for alfalfa production. The results showed that different irrigation frequency had influence on the phenophase of Alfalfa. The phenophase with high-frequent irrigation (8 d/time) was delayed 2-3 d, compared with the low-frequent irrigation (15 d/time). At the flowering stage, the growth of plant height was slowed down. With cutting time delaying, the ratio of stem to leaf of different treatments showed an increasing trend. The ratio of stem to leaf in initial bloom stage and full-bloom stage with cutting treatment was 2.67 and 2.81, respectively, which had significant differences with other treatments (P <0.01). The initial bloom stage with cutting could get the maximum yield of alfalfa hay (18220.5 kg/hm2), but the forage quality declined compared with that in the bud stage. The yield of crude protein was the highest in budding stage with cutting (3702.2 kg/hm2), and the hay yield was 17563.5 kg/hm2.

The results showed that: (1) the total fat content of the 37 walnut varieties ranged from 56.8% to 70.88%, with an average of 65.78%; palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid were the major fatty acids, and the variation coefficient of oleic acid was the highest while that of linoleic acid was the lowest; (2) the composition of different fatty acids were all positively correlated with the total fat content, of which the linoleic acid and the total fat content were highly and significantly correlated, while the palmitic acid and the total fat content were significantly correlated; (3) the oleic acid had the maximum direct effect on total fat content, but the palmitic acid had the opposite effect; (4) the main information of fatty acid composition could be presented by a linear combination of the various compositions; (5) the 37 walnut varieties could be divided into“high oil content with high linolenic acid”variety group and“low oil content with high oleic acid”variety group.

  Toxicity of Several Fungicides Against Botrytis cinerea on Amorphophallus Konjac 2017, 33 (18):  150-152.  DOI: 10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb16080001 Abstract + ( 725 )   PDF ( 1122KB )   ( 488 ) In production, the selection of fungicides to control konjac gray mold that caused by Botrytis cinerea was in chaos, toxicity of fungicides against B. cinerea was not clear. Therefore, the toxicity of 7 fungicides against B. cinerea was tested by mycelium growth rate method. The results showed that carbendazim and iprodine had the best inhibitory effect on mycelial growth of B. cinerea , with the EC 50 value of 0.001 and 0.005 mg/L; then were ningnanmycin, pyrimethanil and dimethachlon, which had good inhibition rates, with theEC 50 value of 0.043, 0.052 and 0.084 mg/L; the inhibitory effect of copper oxychloride and copper calcium sulphate were the worst, with theEC 50 value ≥ 200 mg/L.

  Effect of Water-fertilizer Integrative Drip Irrigation Mode on Tobacco Quality and Economic Benefit 2017, 33 (18):  153-158.  DOI: 10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb16100012 Abstract + ( 688 )   PDF ( 1197KB )   ( 441 ) To investigate the integration of water and fertilizer, and its effect on tobacco quality and economic benefit, different water and fertilizer management tests were carried out in Luoyang, Henan, which included four treatments:‘Yuyan 6’(DF6) and‘Qinyan 96’(DF96) of water-fertilizer integration and‘Yuyan 6’ (DF6) and‘Qinyan 96’(DF96) of conventional fertilization treatment. The results showed that DF6 and DF96 significantly increased the plant height, leaf area and remained leaf number, increased the output value and reduced the production cost. In addition, it significantly improved flue-cured tobacco appearance quality, such as luster, softness, foliar tissue structure, color and oil and other indicators, coordinated chemistry component in tobacco leaves, and improved aroma components of flue cured tobacco leaf, especially degradation products of cembranoids. Meanwhile, the smoking quality of tobacco was enhanced. Thus, the drip irrigation mode of integration of water and fertilizer could improve quality and economic benefit of tobacco.

  Performance of a New Framework for Agricultural Greenhouse 李 军, and 2017, 33 (18):  159-164.  DOI: 10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb16070051 Abstract + ( 587 )   PDF ( 1404KB )   ( 442 ) The aim is to research the economic performance and mechanical behavior of photovoltaic agricultural greenhouses based on composite materials, and to clarify the practicability of using composite material instead of steel. [Method] In this paper, there are some analyses about the photovoltaic greenhouse framework by using numerical calculation and theoretical analysis from the following three aspects: the Midas FEA for bearing capacity and lateral deformation capacity of the framework of photovoltaic agricultural greenhouses, checking calculation for the bearing capacity of the bolt which at the most unfavorable node of photovoltaic greenhouse, and the analysis of economic performance from two aspects just like the surface maintenance and material consumption of frameworks. [Result]The results show the following. The composites framework the maximum stress of members is about 27.5kPa and the maximum displacement at the top of column is about 9.4mm, then the demand for bearing capacity and allowable displacement of the similar structure are satisfied; the bolt at the most unfavorable node of photovoltaic greenhouse is calculated, and its strength can meet the demand; through the comprehensive analysis from two aspects, namely, the surface maintenance and material consumption of frameworks, in terms of initial cost for each greenhouse, the composites framework is 300RMB more expensive than the steel framework, but in the course of using there is no required additional maintenance fee. [Conclusion] Therefore, from the perspective of sustainable development, the cost investment has not big difference in the case of using the same framework. The composite material is more environmentally and has no adverse effects on agricultural cultivation and planting. It can be concluded that the bearing capacity of the composite frame never lose to the steel frame greenhouses as long as the reasonable structure design.
