基于茎干直径微变化制定苹果灌溉制度

茎干直径的动态微变化是研究植物体水分和生长状况的重要指标。利用测树器监测西北旱区盛果期苹果树茎干直径微变化规律,根据监测记录获得茎干直径日最大值(MXTD)、茎干直径日最大收缩量(MDS)数据,并探讨茎干直径微变化规律及其对环境因素的响应,为茎干直径微变化用于指导精确灌溉提供科学依据。实验结果表明,晴天或多云天气下,苹果树茎干直径在每天的7:00或8:00时刻达到一天最大值,在16:00左右达到一天的最小值,茎干直径年增长量与果实产量成反比例关系。整个生育期MXTD呈先快速增加后平稳的变化特征。2010年MDS与茎干水势(φstem)呈显著负相关关系(r2=0.76***,n=14),这表明MDS可以反映苹果树的水势状况。生育后期的MDS对环境因素响应比生育前期敏感,全生育期MDS与气象因素的决定系数大小顺序为日最大水汽压差(VPDmax)日最高温度(Tmax)净辐射(Rn)。茎干直径微变化规律可以反映西北旱区盛果期果树的水分状况,可以为果园灌溉制度的确定提供科学依据。     

山地枣树茎直径对不同生态因子的响应

以山地梨枣为试材,进行了枣树茎直径对土壤水势(WPs)、太阳辐射(Rs)、气温(Ta)、空气相对湿度(RH)等生态因子的响应试验研究。试验共设4个WPs区间的处理,连续测定枣树茎直径及不同生态因子的动态变化。结果表明:在果实膨大期,在-41—-390 kPa范围内,WPs越高的处理,其枣树茎直径(TD)越大;不同处理间枣树最大茎直径(MXTD)存在显著性差异,较高的WPs区间有利于茎直径的增加;MXTD是该期较为适宜的水分信息诊断指标。晴天时,茎直径日收缩幅度大;雨天白天时,茎直径基本处于同一水平,收缩不明显。TD与RH呈极显著正相关,与Ta呈极显著负相关关系,与Rs间无显著相关关系,RH与Ta是影响茎直径变化的最主要气象因子。综合考虑,枣树茎直径的微变化同时受到各种生态因子的影响,尤以RH、Ta、WPs的影响更为显著;WPs高时,WPs为影响茎直径变化的主要因子;WPs低时,RH成为影响茎直径变化的主要因子。     

有限供水下冬小麦全程耗水特征定量研究

为明确冬小麦不同水分条件下全生育过程日耗水及阶段耗水特征,在北京地区利用蒸渗仪系统连续监测了几种灌溉处理(W4:起身水+孕穗水+开花水+灌浆水;W2:拔节水+开花水;W1:拔节水;W0:无灌水)耗水动态变化。结果表明:冬小麦全生育期的耗水动态可分为3个阶段:(1)播种至11月底的冬前阶段,这个阶段日耗水量波动明显,一般低于3 mm/d;(2)12月上旬至来年2月底的冬季阶段,这个阶段日耗水量低于0.4 mm/d,且波动很小;(3)3月初小麦返青至收获的春后生长阶段,这个阶段日耗水量总体上是一个先升高后降低的过程,但波动很大,每次灌水都会引起1个日耗水高峰的出现。耗水日变化呈单峰或双峰曲线,高峰出现在正午前后,高峰值因灌水处理而有明显差异,灌水多则耗水峰值显著升高,而夜间耗水量及其在不同处理间差异均很小。拔节至成熟期是冬小麦耗水的主要时期,该期耗水占总耗水60%以上。减少灌溉会增加土壤贮水消耗,但降低了总耗水量。综合比较表明,在有限灌溉下,拔节水和开花水组合是高产和高水分效率相统一的灌溉模式。     

黄土丘陵区两典型造林树种生长季树干直径微变化动态及其影响因素

运用DC3型高分辨率树干直径变化记录仪和Granier热扩散探针,对黄土丘陵地区两典型树种辽东栎和刺槐生长季的树干直径微变化和树干液流动态进行连续监测,并同步观测主要环境因子(土壤含水量、太阳辐射、空气温度和相对湿度),分析两树种树干的直径微变化动态特征与蒸腾耗水的关联性及其对环境因子的响应。结果表明: 两树种树干直径和液流通量密度呈现明显的昼夜变化规律,直径日最大收缩量与日均液流通量密度呈显著正相关,树干直径在日尺度上的微变化受当日蒸腾耗水量的影响。对树干直径日最大收缩量和蒸腾驱动因子进行线性拟合,结果显示,树干直径日变化量与主要气象环境因子(日均太阳辐射、日均空气水汽压亏缺、整合变量VT)呈显著正相关。回归曲线斜率表明,辽东栎树干直径日变化量大于刺槐,其直径对气象环境因子的敏感度更大。两树种液流通量密度在较高土壤水分时段高于土壤含水量较低时段,在不同土壤水分条件下辽东栎树干直径日最大收缩量差异显著,刺槐未达到显著水平,这些差异可能与两树种蒸腾调节和树干水分补充等用水策略有关。     

不同小麦品种耗水特性和籽粒产量的差异

在田间试验条件下,采用10个小麦品种,设全生育期不灌水(W0)、灌底墒水+拔节水(W1)、灌底墒水+拔节水+开花水(W2)3个处理,每次灌水量60 mm,研究不同小麦品种不同生育阶段的耗水特点和籽粒产量的差异.结果表明:以W0、W1和W2处理的小麦籽粒产量和水分利用效率(WUE)2因子为指标进行聚类分析,可将10个品种分为3组:高产高水分利用效率组(组Ⅰ)、高产中水分利用效率组(组Ⅱ)和中产低水分利用效率组(组Ⅲ).在W0处理下,组Ⅰ小麦品种的总耗水量、开花至成熟期的耗水量和耗水模系数均低于组Ⅱ和组Ⅲ,籽粒产量最高;在W1处理下,组Ⅰ小麦品种拔节至开花期的耗水量和耗水模系数均低于组Ⅱ和组Ⅲ,开花至成熟期的耗水量和耗水模系数在组Ⅰ、组Ⅱ和组Ⅲ间无显著差异;在W2处理下,组Ⅰ小麦品种的土壤供水量、拔节至开花期的耗水量和耗水模系数均低于组Ⅱ和组Ⅲ,开花至成熟期的耗水量和耗水模系数为组Ⅰ和组Ⅲ低于组Ⅱ.表明组Ⅰ高产高水分利用效率品种为最适宜品种,而底墒水和拔节水各灌60 mm的W1处理是兼顾高产与节水的最佳处理.     

不同覆盖方式对旱地马铃薯耗水特性和产量的影响

在陇中半干旱区设置玉米整秆带状覆盖(ST)、地膜覆盖(PT) 2种覆盖方式,以露地平作为对照(CK),研究了不同覆盖方式对马铃薯田土壤水分、耗水规律、产量及水分利用效率的影响。结果表明:与CK相比,覆盖处理显著(P0.05)提高了马铃薯播种至收获期0～200 cm土壤贮水量,ST和PT处理土壤贮水量较CK的增幅分别以收获期(12.3%)和淀粉积累期(9.1%)最大;覆盖处理降低了马铃薯全生育期耗水量,以ST处理的降幅最大(23.4%);与CK相比,ST处理显著降低了生育前期(播种-块茎形成期)和后期(淀粉积累期-收获期)的耗水量,显著增加了生育中期(块茎形成期-淀粉积累期)耗水量,并增加了深层土壤水分,而PT处理主要降低了生育前期和中期耗水,显著增加了生育后期耗水; ST和PT处理分别使马铃薯产量较CK显著增加32.4%和32.9%,水分利用效率提高73.8%和48.8%。综上可知,玉米整秆带状覆盖处理能显著改善马铃薯生育中后期0～200 cm土壤水分状况,使马铃薯关键生长阶段耗水增多,能显著提高马铃薯产量和水分利用效率。     

太行山南麓低山丘陵区栓皮栎直径变化及其与环境因子的关系

使用周长传感器(Circumference DC2)研究了太行山南麓低山丘陵上栓皮栎人工林树干直径的日变化及其影响因子.结果表明:在季节性干旱期间,栓皮栎树干的直径变化周期性明显,直径收缩与液流启动时间基本一致,直径最小值滞后于液流速率最大值3 ～4 h;栓皮栎直径日最大收缩量(MDS)呈现低-高-低的变化趋势,与累积液流通量和叶片水势日差值极显著相关,与土壤含水量呈显著的二次方程关系.MDS值受气象因子变化的影响,与温度日差值、蒸汽压亏缺日差值和相对湿度日差值显著相关,而与太阳辐射日差值的相关性不显著.连续降水后,土壤水分不再是栓皮栎直径变化的限制因子,MDS值与累积液流通量、叶片水势、土壤含水量和气象因子差值的相关性均不显著.季节性干旱期和雨季的土壤含水量和温度是影响树干直径日变化的主要因子.     

意杨苗木耗水特征与水分利用效率

研究杨树耗水量的变化特征、水分利用效率及其影响因子对杨树生理生态研究、造林树种的选择和林业生态工程建设具有重要的指导价值。以意杨(Populus euramevicana cv.‘I-214’)为研究对象进行盆栽试验,设定了4个处理组,分别为T1处理组(种植意杨,密封处理),T2处理组(种植意杨,非密封处理),T3处理组(不种植意杨,非密封处理),C处理组(不种植意杨,密封处理),定量分析了意杨耗水规律、水分利用效率及土壤蒸发量与植株生理特性、气象环境因子之间的关系。结果表明:(1)4个处理组耗水量变化曲线均呈"单峰型",且在7月份达到最大值,2月份降到最低值。(2)栽植意杨的土壤水分蒸发量占总耗水量的15.9%,全年波动状态稳定,本底流失量占30.4%。(3)在地表覆盖物下的意杨蒸腾耗水量占总耗水量的53.7%,年变化曲线为单峰型;栽培意杨的土壤水分总流失量是不栽培意杨土壤总流失量2.77倍;在裸地上种植意杨的土壤水分总蒸发量仅比没有意杨的裸地土壤多流失7.9%水分。(4)在有地表覆盖物下和裸地上的意杨叶面平均蒸腾强度分别为30.8 g cm~(-2)a~(-1),9.5 g cm~(-2)a~(-1);平均每克生物量耗水量为39.61 g。综上所述,意杨具有很强的蒸腾耗水能力,种植意杨可能会造成造林地区土壤水分大量流失,使该地区深层土壤干燥化,不利于土壤储水调节作用的发挥。

梨枣在果实生长期对土壤水势的响应

以4年生梨枣为试验材料,在果实生长期设置了4个土壤水势水平,研究不同处理梨枣茎秆直径生长、光合速率、蒸腾速率、叶片相对含水量以及果实数量对土壤水势的响应,探讨了梨枣果实生长期适宜的土壤水势范围。结果表明:1)在果实缓慢生长期,茎秆直径生长缓慢;土壤水势高于-84 kPa时能显著地降低落果率。2)果实快速生长期,茎秆直径日最大值和叶片相对含水量能反映梨枣的水分状况;适当的控制土壤水势能显著的提高叶片的水分利用效率;土壤水势高于-84 kPa时果实快速生长期出现坐果现象。3)果实生长期前期的土壤水势低至-461 kPa会影响果实生长期叶片的功能和后期的坐果。因此,梨枣果实生长期的适宜的土壤水势范围为-41—-84 kPa,提高了叶片水分利用效率,提高了单果重,不影响产量。     

Comparison of continuously recorded plant-based water stress indicators for young lemon trees

Continuously recorded plant-based water stress indicators (sap flow and parameters derived from trunk diameter fluctuations) were compared in potted young lemon trees (Citrus limon (L.) Burm. fil, cv. Verna) grafted on sour orange (C. aurantium L.) rootstock submitted to deficit irrigation. Daily maximum (MXTD) and minimum (MNTD) trunk diameters and daily trunk diameter shrinkage (MDS) were directly influenced by the water supply to the trees from the soil. The continuously recorded plant-based water stress indicators presented different degrees of sensitivity when used to estimate the water status of the plants. Sap flow (SF) and MDS were more immediate and sensitive than MXTD and MNTD. However, the higher signal intensity: noise for SF and the fact that its signal intensities remained clearly above unity during the stress period, indicating that the soil water was depleted, point to the greater reliability of this indicator. Also, the possibility of developing further baseline relationships between SF and air vapour pressure deficit in fully irrigated trees in field conditions increases the feasibility of using this parameter in automatic irrigation systems.     

Combining sap flow and trunk diameter measurements to assess water needs in mature olive orchards

Sap flux (Q) and trunk diameter variation (TDV) are among the most useful plant-based measurements to detect water stress and to evaluate plant water consumption. The usefulness of both methods decreases, however, when applied to species that, like olive, have an outstanding tolerance to drought and a remarkable capacity to take up water from drying soils. Evidence shows that this problem is greater in old, big trees with heavy fruit load. Our hypothesis is that the analysis of simultaneous measurements of Q and TDV made in the same trees is more useful for assessing irrigation needs in old olive orchards than the use of any of these two methods alone. To test our hypothesis, we analysed relations between Q, TDV, midday stem water potential (Ψ_stem), relative extractable water and atmospheric demand in an olive orchard of 38-year-old ‘Manzanilla’ trees with heavy fruit load. Measurements were made during one irrigation season (May-October), in fully irrigated trees (FI, 107% of the crop evapotranspiration, ET_c, supplied by irrigation), and in trees under two levels of deficit irrigation (DI60, 61% ET_c; DI30, 29% ET_c). Time courses of Q and TDV measured on days of contrasting weather and soil water conditions were analysed to evaluate the usefulness of both methods to assess the crop water status. We calculated the daily tree water consumption (E_p) from Q measurements. For both DI treatments we calculated a signal intensity by dividing daily E_p values of each DI tree by those of the FI tree (SI−Ep). We did the same with the maximum daily shrinkage (MDS) values (S_I−MDS). Neither SI−Ep nor S_I−MDS rendered useful information for assessing the crop water needs. On the contrary, the daily difference for maximum trunk diameter (MXTD) between each of the DI trees and the FI tree (D_MXTD) clearly indicated the onset and severity of water stress. A similar analysis with the E_p values, from which DEp values were derived, showed the effect of water stress on the water consumption of the trees. We concluded that the simultaneous use of D_MXTD and DEp values provides more detailed information to assess water needs in mature olive orchards than the use of Q or TDV records alone.     

Using trunk diameter sensors for regulated deficit irrigation scheduling in early maturing peach trees

The aim of this paper was to test the possibility of scheduling regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) using exclusively maximum daily trunk shrinkage (MDS) measurements, and that RDI strategies can be applied in early maturing peach trees reducing significantly the seasonal water use. During three growing seasons, 6-year-old peach trees (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. Flordastar) grafted on P. persica × P. amygdalus GF-677 peach rootstock were submitted to different drip irrigation treatments. Control (T0) plants were irrigated above the estimated crop evapotranspiration level (≈130% ET_C) and T1 plants were submitted to RDI, which were irrigated in order to maintain MDS signal intensity (SI) values close to unity (no irrigation-related stress) from the fruit thinning stage to 2 weeks after harvest, at MDS SI values close to 1.3 during the early postharvest period, and at MDS SI values of 1.6 during the late postharvest period. The RDI strategy assayed reduced the seasonal water applied by 35-42% with respect to estimated ET_C without affecting yield efficiency components or the distribution of different peach fruit categories, while improving water productivity. The only vegetative growth component affected by RDI was pruning weight, indicating that vigor regulation as a result of RDI may decrease the competition for assimilates between vegetative apexes and reserve tissues. Also, the absence of any significant effect of RDI on the ratio between yield and the increase in trunk cross sectional area suggested similar carbon partitioning schemes during fruit growth. To improve the precision of MDS SI-driven schedule in RDI strategies changes in the irrigation protocol should be considered so that the scheduled water deficit levels are attained more rapidly. For this, when it is necessary to change from a MDS SI threshold value to a higher one, the daily irrigation rate should be decreased by more than 3%.     

Physiological and productive responses of Olea europaea L. cultivars Frantoio and Leccino to a regulated deficit irrigation regime

Abstract

Olive is a drought-tolerant species and it is known that it responds efficiently to any additional water up to a limit. A field experiment was planned with the following aims: to provide estimates of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) to improve water use efficiency during the growing season; to present guidelines for efficient management of irrigation scheduling; and to characterize the relationship between plant water status and optimum fruit yield. These relationships were monitored during four years by analysing the influence of deficit irrigation strategies on mature modern-trained olive trees of cultivars Frantoio and Leccino. Treatments were a non-irrigated control (rain-fed) and three treatments that received a seasonal water amount equivalent to 33, 66 and 100% of ETc, from the beginning of pit hardening to early fruit veraison. Results of the relationship between leaf water potential and maximum stomatal conductance (Ψ_pd vs. g _smax) showed that the stomatal apparatus in Frantoio was more sensitive to water deficit than that of Leccino. Differences in yield between treatments were mainly related to mean fruit weight, indicating that water availability might have affected growing conditions before flowering or during the early stages of fruit growth rather than later in the summer season. Vegetative development was a function of water available to plants. Frantoio achieved the highest crop production per unit of water consumption. Oil quality was scarcely affected by deficit irrigation. Regulated deficit irrigation of olive trees after pit hardening could be recommended, at least under the experimental conditions of this study. Given the different long-term watering response of Frantoio and Leccino, a cultivar-specific irrigation scheduling is advisable.     

不同灌水量对2个蓝浆果品种幼苗生长和耗水规律的影响及相关性分析

以兔眼蓝浆果(Vaccinium ashei Reade)品种'Brightwell'和南方高丛蓝浆果(V.corymbosum hybrids)品种'Misty'为研究对象,研究不同灌水量〔50%WC、75%WC、100%WC(CK)和125%WC〕(WC为单株日耗水量)对幼苗生长、单株耗水量的日变化和月变化、单株净增干质量、总耗水量和水分利用效率的影响,并采用回归分析法对单株月耗水量与月均温和月均空气相对湿度的相关性进行分析.结果显示:随灌水量提高,2个品种幼苗的地径、单株枝长和单株总叶面积的增量总体上均不断增大,但单株枝长增量略有波动;单株根、茎、叶和总干质量总体上均逐渐增大,根冠比则逐渐减小;单株净增干质量和总耗水量均随灌水量提高而增大,而水分利用效率则在50%WC条件下最低、在75%WC条件下最高.在相同灌水量条件下,品种'Misty'幼苗的地径和单株枝长的增量,单株茎、叶和总干质量及水分利用效率基本上均高于品种'Brightwell',而其单株总叶面积增量、单株根干质量、根冠比和总耗水量却基本上低于后者.在7月份至9月份,2个品种幼苗单株耗水量的日变化基本上呈单峰曲线,但其单株耗水量峰值出现的时间段则因品种和灌水量不同而异;在全天不同时间段和不同月份,2个品种幼苗的单株耗水量均随灌水量提高而增大;在相同灌水量条件下,品种'Misty'幼苗的单株耗水量总体上低于品种'Brightwell'.回归分析结果表明:2个品种幼苗的单株月耗水量与月均温呈显著或极显著正相关,与月均空气相对湿度呈显著或极显著负相关.综合分析结果表明:蓝浆果幼苗的耗水量不但与品种特性有关,而且还受到土壤水分含量、气温和空气湿度的影响;在相同灌水量条件下,品种'Brightwell'幼苗的耗水量高于品种'Misty',但其水分利用效率却低于后者.在中国南方地区,品种'Brightwell'和'Misty'的适宜灌水量分别为100%WC和75%WC.     

Relationships Between Climatic Variables and Sap Flow, Stem Water Potential and Maximum Daily Trunk Shrinkage in Lemon Trees

The feasibility of obtaining sap flow (SF), maximum daily trunk shrinkage (MDS) and midday stem water potential (Ψ_stem) baselines or reference values for use in irrigation scheduling was studied in adult Fino lemon trees (Citrus limon (L.) Burm. fil.) grafted on sour orange (C. aurantium L.) rootstocks. Plants were irrigated daily above their water requirements in order to obtain non-limiting soil water conditions. The results indicated that baselines for plant-based water status indicators (MDS, SF and Ψ_stem) can be obtained, even though there was a certain scattering of the data points representing the relations between the plant-based measurements and the environmental variables (reference evapotranspiration, solar radiation, vapour pressure deficit and temperature). SF was more closely associated with changes in the studied evaporative demand variables than were MDS and Ψ_stem. SF and Ψ_stem were more closely correlated with changes in reference evapotranspiration (ETo) (r ² = 0.93 and 0.79, respectively), while MDS behaviour was best correlated with mean daily air temperature (T _m) (r ² = 0.76). Increases in the evaporative demand induced more negative Ψ_stem values and, as a consequence, SF increased, which, in turn, was translated into an increase in MDS. This confirmed that SF and MDS were very good predictors of the plant water status during the observation period and their continuous recording offers the promising possibility of their use in automatic irrigation scheduling in lemon trees.
