红壤旱坡地桔园覆盖的生态效应及经济效益评价

柑桔是南方红壤地区栽培的主要果树种类,栽培面积达1126×106ｈｍ2。柑桔是一种常绿果树,生长量大,挂果期长,周年需要消耗大量的水分。我国南方红壤地区虽然雨水充沛,但降水季节分布不均,柑桔果实迅速生长的7～10月正是该地区雨水少、蒸发量大的伏秋干旱季节。经常性的伏秋干旱是制约我国柑桔产量和质量进一步提高的主要障碍因素之一。桔园夏秋进行秸秆覆盖可以降温1]、保水2]、防止杂草生长3]等,但桔园应用地膜覆盖及常年连续覆盖对桔园的生态效应方面的研究较少,为此我们开展了这方面的工作,并通过连续3ａ的产量及产值分析覆盖桔园的经…

The Ecological Effect of Mulching Citrus Orchard in Red Soil Hilly Region is Studied.

The results show that mulches creat good ecological environment for citrus growth and development. The soil temperature of mulching orchard is higher in winter and early spring, lower in summer and early autumn. The drought is resisted effectively duing growth of fruit because the higher water content is kept in dry season. Due to the improved nutrient status in soil with mulches the content of nutrient in citrus tree increase significantly . The net economic benefit of citrus orchard with mulching especially mulch with film and rice-straw treatment is 2.229 times the control.
