以大花生品种早熟型‘山花108’和晚熟型‘780-15’为试验材料,设置小麦3种行距配置(25 cm、30 cm、大小行40 cm+20 cm)和2种花生种植方式(麦套、夏直播),探讨不同种植模式对夏花生产量构成、光合特性、抗氧化活性和干物质积累与分配的调控作用.结果表明: 适当扩大小麦行距、相同平均行距下选用大小行种植,可提高套种花生荚果产量和籽仁产量,增大叶面积指数和干物质积累量,增强光合能力,同时提高超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化物酶和过氧化氢酶活性,降低丙二醛含量.麦套花生产量高于夏直播花生并且以大小行处理产量最高.与小麦行距30 cm相比,大小行处理山花108和780-15两品种花生荚果产量和籽仁产量分别提高6.3%、13.3%和7.7%、16.5%.表明大小行种植有助于扩大光合面积,提高净光合速率,增加干物质积累量,同时缓解花生植株个体与群体间的矛盾,延缓衰老,从而提高麦套花生产量.     

Isolation and characterization of diazotrophic bacteria from banana and pineapple plants

Banana and pineapple fruit crops are widely cultivated in tropical areas where high amounts of fertilizers are applied, principally nitrogen. Over 200 kg N.ha^-1.yr^-1 is often applied to these crops. Nevertheless, developing countries face the problem of high costs of chemical fertilizers. As already demonstrated for other tropical crops, like sugar cane, the utilization of nitrogen-fixing bacteria may support the growth of these fruit plants. In this work, we demonstrate the association of nitrogen-fixing bacteria with banana and pineapple. Samples from roots, stems, leaves and fruits of different genotypes showed the occurrence of diazotrophic bacteria, when evaluated in semi-specific semi-solid media. These isolates could be separated into seven different groups according to their morphological and physiological characteristics. Additional, phylogenetic assignments were performed with group- and species-specific oligonucleotide probes. Bacteria related to the groups of Azospirillum amazonense, Azospirillum lipoferum, Burkholderia sp. and a group similar to the genus Herbaspirillum could be detected in samples of both crops. However, Azospirillum brasilense and another two groups of Herbaspirillum-like bacteria were detected only in banana plants. Two isolates of the latter group were identified as Herbaspirillum seropedicae, whereas the other isolates may represent a new Herbaspirillum species.     

小麦-甘薯轮作长期增施有机肥对碱性土壤固氮菌群落结构及多样性的影响

生物固氮为农业生态系统提供天然的氮素来源,探究长期增施有机肥对土壤固氮菌群落的影响,为合理增施有机肥和维持土壤固氮微生物群落多样性提供科学依据。选取小麦-甘薯轮作中连续37a不施肥对照(CK)、单施化肥(NPK)、化肥+有机肥(NPKM)处理的甘薯季碱性土壤样品为研究对象。采用Illumina MiSeq高通量测序技术,研究土壤固氮菌群落的组成、多样性及其与土壤特性的关系。结果表明:与对照和单施化肥相比,长期增施有机肥降低土壤固氮菌群落丰富度和多样性,且丰富度与土壤pH显著正相关,与有机碳、全氮和有效养分(硝态氮、有效磷和速效钾)显著负相关。主坐标分析表明长期施肥显著改变土壤固氮菌群落结构,与对照相比,增施有机肥比单施化肥对固氮菌群落结构的影响更大。冗余分析表明土壤有机碳和速效钾是影响固氮菌群落结构改变最主要的因素。长期增施有机肥显著降低变形菌门、蓝藻菌门、Beta-变形菌和固氮弧菌属的相对丰度,显著增加硝化螺旋菌门、酸杆菌门和硝化螺菌属的相对丰度,这与土壤pH、有机碳和有效养分显著相关。因此,在碱性土壤上长期增施有机肥对固氮菌群落结构的改变更大,对群落多样性的抑制作用更强。     

土著从枝菌根真菌(AMF)与不同形态氮对紫色土间作大豆生长及氮利用的影响

在紫色土上,探究接种土著AMF(indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi)及不同形态氮肥施用对间作大豆Glycine max生长及氮利用的影响,为提高间作大豆对土壤不同形态氮素的吸收与利用,减少土壤无机氮残留提供理论依据。采用盆栽试验,设2种种植方式(大豆单作和玉米/大豆间作),不同丛枝菌根真菌处理[不接种(NM)、接种土著AMF]和3个氮处理[不施氮(N0)、施无机氮(ION120)、施有机氮(ON120)],以期揭示土著AMF和不同形态氮施用对间作大豆生长及氮素吸收利用的影响。结果表明:与N0相比,施ION120和ON120处理显著增加了土壤无机氮的累积量。NM条件下,无论何种施氮处理的间作土壤NH_4~+-N、NO_3~--N含量均低于单作,其中当接种土著AMF时,与单作相比,间作对减少土壤无机氮的积累能力得到进一步加强。无论单作或是间作,相同菌根处理下,ION120和ON120处理的大豆地上部和根系生物量,大豆地上部和根系氮含量及大豆地上部和根系氮吸收量均不同程度地高于N0处理,其中间作-土著AMF条件下,ION120处理的根系生物量、根系氮含量及氮吸收量均显著高于ON120处理。间作-ION120条件下,土著AMF处理的大豆地上部氮含量、吸收量及根系氮含量、氮吸收量较NM处理分别提高了9.8%、69.8%和8.1%、54.8%,四者差异均达到显著水平。除根系氮吸收量外,地上部氮含量、氮吸收量及根系氮含量均在间作-土著AMF-ION120处理下显著提高,间作与土著AMF互作优势明显。间作-土著AMF条件下,ION120和ON120处理的大豆根系氮吸收效率高于N0处理,分别提高了2%和6%。总体来看,土著AMF与ION120氮肥施用对促进间作大豆生长与提高氮素利用率尤为明显,可望减少土壤氮素残留而减轻氮素流失的风险。     

Studies on fertilization of field-grown irrigated alfalfa

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) yields of 20–25 ton/ha are obtainable in a Mediterranean climate, with 8–9 harvests each year. These high yields demand a large supply of potassium from the soil. Plant uptake of potassium reached 540 kg K ha, the majority being derived from the exchangeable form. A safety level of 2.5% K in the whole plant is needed to prevent yield declines. Fertilization with potassium chloride gave higher yields than with potassium sulfate. Splitting the K application over period of two cuts is recommended for sandy loam soils with a low cation exchange capacity.Contribution from the Agricultura Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Bet Dagan, Israel. 1975 Series, No.186-E.     

Association with an ammonium-excreting bacterium allows diazotrophic culture of oil-rich eukaryotic microalgae

Concerns regarding the depletion of the world's reserves of oil and global climate change have promoted an intensification of research and development toward the production of biofuels and other alternative sources of energy during the last years. There is currently much interest in developing the technology for third-generation biofuels from microalgal biomass mainly because of its potential for high yields and reduced land use changes in comparison with biofuels derived from plant feedstocks. Regardless of the nature of the feedstock, the use of fertilizers, especially nitrogen, entails a potential economic and environmental drawback for the sustainability of biofuel production. In this work, we have studied the possibility of nitrogen biofertilization by diazotrophic bacteria applied to cultured microalgae as a promising feedstock for next-generation biofuels. We have obtained an Azotobacter vinelandii mutant strain that accumulates several times more ammonium in culture medium than wild-type cells. The ammonium excreted by the mutant cells is bioavailable to promote the growth of nondiazotrophic microalgae. Moreover, this synthetic symbiosis was able to produce an oil-rich microalgal biomass using both carbon and nitrogen from the air. This work provides a proof of concept that artificial symbiosis may be considered an alternative strategy for the low-N-intensive cultivation of microalgae for the sustainable production of next-generation biofuels and other bioproducts.     

Yield of micropropagated sugarcane varieties in different soil types following inoculation with diazotrophic bacteria

It is well described that the beneficial interactions between plants and bacteria are genotype and site specific. Brazilian sugarcane varieties can obtain up to 70% of their nitrogen requirement from biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), and this contribution is related to the Brazilian breeding and selection processes, by example of the variety SP70-1143. In this study the effect of two inoculation mixtures containing diazotrophic bacteria in our earlier pot experiment was evaluated with two sugarcane varieties, a known responder, SP70-1143, and a newly selected variety, SP81-3250, to investigate the sugarcane genotype effect and the role of the mixtures. The sugarcane varieties SP70-1143 and SP81-3250 were grown under commercial field conditions at three sites with contrasting soil types: an Alfisol, an Oxisol and an Ultisol that means a low, medium and high natural fertility respectively. The stem yield and BNF contribution in response to bacterial inoculation were influenced by the strain combinations in the inoculum, the plant genotype, and the soil type and nitrogen fertilization, confirming the genetic and environmental influence in PGP-bacteria interactions. Inoculation effects on the BNF contribution and stem yield increased in the variety SP70-1143 grown in the Alfisol without nitrogen fertilization for three consecutive crops, and it was equivalent to the annual nitrogen fertilization. The plants grown in the Oxisol showed small increases in the productivity of the variety SP70-1143, and in the Ultisol the sugarcane plants presented even decreases in the stem productivity due to inoculation with diazotrophic bacteria mixtures. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the inoculation technology using diazotrophic bacteria in micropropagated sugarcane varieties grown in soils with low to medium levels of fertility. In addition, the results also indicated that specific plant – bacteria – environment combinations are needed to harness the full benefits of BNF. Section Editor: C. P. Vance     

Effects of fertilization rate and crop rotation on diazotrophic cyanobacteria in paddy field

Application of chemical fertilizers at the recommended level (medium fertility) or lower stimulated growth of the diazotrophic cyanobacterial population and nitrogenase activity in a paddy field. High fertilizer levels proved to be inhibitory to nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria indicating that indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers for a longer period drastically disturbed the natural ecological balance. The rice–mustard–moong (RMM) crop rotation was observed to be more suitable for cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation than rice–wheat–maize rotation. The cropped plots had higher nitrogenase activity than fallow plots. The low fertility coupled with RMM rotation were found to be best suited for promoting nitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria to supply the rice plants. A top dressing of chemical nitrogenous fertilizer drastically suppressed the cyanobacterial nitrogenase activity (ARA) within 12 h; the magnitude of inhibition varied with respect to the cropping system. The inhibition was overcome by the 10th day and the ARA value reached the preapplication value or even higher in the case of low fertility and medium fertility level plots. A regression equation was established to predict nitrogen fixation in a given soil ecosystem.     

Earthworm compound and rock biofertilizer enriched in nitrogen by inoculation with free living diazotrophic bacteria

Free living diazotrophic bacteria are known to enrich nitrogen of organic matter sources. In this paper we report of experiments using rock biofertilizers mixed with two types of organic matter (earthworm compound and ice cream waste) inoculated with free living diazotrophic bacteria. The earthworm compound and P and K biofertilizers were mixed to form substrates S₁ (earthworm compound 3 dm³ + PK biofertilizer 1 dm³ and waste ice cream 1 dm³); S₂ (earthworm compound 2.5 dm³ + PK biofertilizer 1.5 dm³ and waste ice cream 1 dm³L) and S₃ earthworm compound 2.0 dm³ + PK biofertilizer 2.0 dm³ and waste ice cream 1 dm³), and subsequently inoculated (100 mL pot⁻¹) with 3 free living diazotrophic bacteria isolated from different Brazilian soils. The control was an uninoculated earthworm compound. Samples were collected at various incubation time (0; 15; 30 and 45 days) and analyzed for total N. Total N concentrations were highest in S₁, S₂ and S₃ substrates at 34, 27 and 29 days, respectively. The isolate NFB 1001 increased total N in all substrates and the best results were obtained at 34 days in S₁ substrate which contained the highest amount of earthworm compound. The isolates promoted a decline in N content after 30 days of growth, indicating the best time to produce the organic biofertilizer. The organic biofertilizer enriched in nitrogen by free living diazotrophic bacteria is of relevance to organic agriculture.     

Nitrogen and yield potential of irrigated rice

Yield potential of modern rice varieties and implications for N management were evaluated in a series of field studies that provided data for validation of an eco-physiological simulation model for rice. We tested the hypothesis that N was the major factor limiting yield potential of irrigated rice. The simulation model ORYZA1 was used to evaluate the observed yield differences between varieties grown with different N management and in different environments. The model explained differences in yield of the treatments resonably well on the basis of differences in radiation, temperature, leaf N content and variety coefficients for phenological development. It was demonstrated by the model and experimental data that yield levels of 6 t ha^-1 in the wet season and 10 t ha^-1 in the dry season can be obtained in the tropics with the current short duration varieties only when the N supply from soil and fertilizer is adequately maintained at key growth stages. Yield probabilities for rice crops were simulated for different environments using long term weather data at two Philippine sites.     

Plant spacing effect on yield of cotton irrigated with saline waters

Summary The response of the cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum L.) to 9.0 and 12.5 cm intra- and 75.0 and 96.5 cm inter-row spacing was studied under irrigation with saline water (5.5 dS/m, SAR 18). In general, the dry weight per plant matter, the leaf area, number of bolls and flowers, and yield per plant were all affected significantly by intra-row spacing but, not by inter-row spacing. However, on a unit area basis, they were affected only by the inter-row spacing. This indicates that competition between plants exists when intra-row spacing is reduced, whereas no significant competition occurs due to a decrease in the inter-row spacing. Although the effect of intra-row spacing on yield for a unit area was found to be not significant, the effect of inter-row spacing was significant. Yield in plots with the conventional spacing (96.5 cm between rows and 12.5 cm between plants in the row) was 4863 kg/ha, whereas the yield in plots with 75 cm between rows was about 23% higher (5974 kg/ha). The lint percentage and the plant height were not affected significantly by either intra- or inter-row spacings.Contribution from the Institute of Soils and Water, Agricultural Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Bet Dagan 50250, Israel.

Effect of seed inoculation,mycorrhizal infection and organic amendment on wheat growth

Summary The effect of seed inoculation withAzotobacter spp. orAzospirillum spp., and garbage amendment (0.5%), on the growth of wheat was studied in a field experiment under sub-tropical conditions. Two levels of N fertilizer were applied, the usual field rate (150 kg N ha^–1) and half this amount. Tillering of plants, dry matter contents and nitrogenase activity were determined 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing. At the end of the experimental period, spore numbers and percentage of mycorrhizal infection were observed in the rhizosphere and root systems of plants. Straw and grain yields were also determined. The results of this study showed that seed inoculation and/or organic amendment stimulated plant growth, nitrogenase activity and mycorrhizal infection. This was more noticeable withAzotobacter than withAzospirillum. Inoculation withAzotobacter together with 1/2 N dose and organic amendment was the most effective application (19.75 and 10.70 t ha^–1 were recorded for straw and grain yield, respectively).     

不同降水年型下长期施肥的小麦产量效应

合理施用氮磷化肥是提高小麦产量的主要措施之一.用二元二次回归方程探讨不同降水年型下的氮磷优化用量,为黄土旱塬小麦施肥提供依据.结果表明: 不同降水年型小麦最高产量所需要的氮磷肥用量不同,平水年小麦最高产量4229 kg·hm^-2时的氮用量为172 kg·hm^-2、磷用量164 kg·hm^-2;丰水年最高产量4896 kg·hm^-2时,施氮量较平水年多2%,为175 kg·hm^-2,施磷量较平水年少约1%,为162 kg·hm^-2;干旱年施氮磷量较平水年少约16%和5%,当施氮磷量超出这个用量时,小麦产量开始呈下降趋势.不同降水年型最佳经济施肥量不同,平水年最佳经济施氮量为161 kg·hm^-2、施磷量为151 kg·hm^-2;而干旱年的最佳氮、磷量为135、143 kg·hm^-2;丰水年最佳经济氮、磷量分别较平水年多约3%和1%,为167、153 kg·hm^-2.最佳经济氮磷施用量比最高产量氮磷施用量低6%~8%.实际生产中建议氮磷减少10%的用量,提高肥料利用率,获得最大经济效益.     

桔园施用有机肥对主要害虫发生的影响

为了通过合理施肥控制柑桔害虫的发生、从而减少喷施防虫农药的次数,本研究在桔园比较了单施有机肥、单施化肥的柑桔树上柑桔木虱Diaphorina citri Kuwayama、柑桔全爪螨Panonychus citri McGregor、柑桔潜叶蛾Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton等主要害虫的发生数量。结果表明,单施有机肥柑桔木虱、柑桔全爪螨发生数量显著低于常规施用化肥的施肥方法,柑桔潜叶蛾的为害没有显著变化,柑桔长势、果实可溶性固形物也没有显著改变。说明施用有机肥可以减少柑桔木虱和柑桔全爪螨的发生,而对柑桔树的长势、果品质量没有不利影响。     

长期施肥对黄土旱塬农田土壤有机磷组分及小麦产量的影响

研究长期施肥对黄土旱塬农田土壤有机磷组分及小麦产量的影响,可为提高磷素转化利用率及合理利用肥料提供理论支持。本研究依托长武旱塬农田生态系统长期(1984—2016年)定位试验站,选取不施肥(CK)、单施氮肥(N)、单施磷肥(P)、施氮磷肥(NP)、单施有机肥(M)、氮肥配施有机肥(MN)、磷肥配施有机肥(MP)、氮磷肥配施有机肥(MNP)8个处理,研究其对土壤有机磷组分、小麦产量和土壤性质的影响。结果表明: 长期施肥后土壤有机磷含量为244.7～429.1 mg·kg^-1,除N处理外,其余各处理有机磷含量比CK均显著增加了15.4%～47.9%。长期施用磷肥改变了黄土旱塬农田表层土壤(0～20 cm)各有机磷组分含量,MP、MNP处理显著提高了活性有机磷及中活性有机磷含量;N、P和NP处理显著降低了中稳性有机磷含量;N、P、NP、MN、MP、MNP处理均显著提高了高稳性有机磷含量。各处理土壤有机磷组分与总有机磷含量比值为:中活性有机磷>高稳性有机磷>活性有机磷>中稳性有机磷。长期施肥后,与CK相比,氮、磷肥配施,尤其是与有机肥配施,显著增加了小麦生物产量和籽粒产量。土壤指标中,有机质、速效磷和无机磷与小麦产量呈显著正相关。MP、M处理可以显著提高黄土旱塬黑垆土中的速效磷、总磷、总无机磷、活性有机磷和中活性有机磷含量,表明有机肥与磷肥配施可以提高该地区更容易被作物吸收的磷组分。总之,氮磷肥配施并配施有机肥可以提高该地区磷供给,对小麦增产有促进作用,对提高黄土旱塬地区土壤质量有重要意义。     

长期施肥对红壤旱地作物产量和土壤肥力的影响

Metabolic engineering of a diazotrophic bacterium improves ammonium release and biofertilization of plants and microalgae

The biological nitrogen fixation carried out by some Bacteria and Archaea is one of the most attractive alternatives to synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. However, with the exception of the symbiotic rhizobia-legumes system, progress towards a more extensive realization of this goal has been slow. In this study we manipulated the endogenous regulation of both nitrogen fixation and assimilation in the aerobic bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii. Substituting an exogenously inducible promoter for the native promoter of glutamine synthetase produced conditional lethal mutant strains unable to grow diazotrophically in the absence of the inducer. This mutant phenotype could be reverted in a double mutant strain bearing a deletion in the nifL gene that resulted in constitutive expression of nif genes and increased production of ammonium. Under GS non-inducing conditions both the single and the double mutant strains consistently released very high levels of ammonium (>20 mM) into the growth medium. The double mutant strain grew and excreted high levels of ammonium under a wider range of concentrations of the inducer than the single mutant strain. Induced mutant cells could be loaded with glutamine synthetase at different levels, which resulted in different patterns of extracellular ammonium accumulation afterwards. Inoculation of the engineered bacteria into a microalgal culture in the absence of sources of C and N other than N₂ and CO₂ from the air, resulted in a strong proliferation of microalgae that was suppressed upon addition of the inducer. Both single and double mutant strains also promoted growth of cucumber plants in the absence of added N-fertilizer, while this property was only marginal in the parental strain. This study provides a simple synthetic genetic circuit that might inspire engineering of optimized inoculants that efficiently channel N₂ from the air into crops.     

Effect of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal and phosphatase-producing fungal inoculation on growth and nutrition of white clover supplied with organic phosphorus

In a pot experiment white clover was grown for 50 d in two sterilized low phosphorus soils supplied with organic phosphorus as sodium phytate. Seed inoculation withAspergillus fumigatus, a phosphatase-producing fungus (PPF), and soil inoculation withGlomus mossece, a vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungus resulted in increased shoot and root dry mass and root length, phosphatase activity in soil and shoot concentrations of P and to a lesser extent of Mg. The effects on these parameters were most distinct upon combined inoculation treatment (PPF+VAM). A significant increase in hyphal length density and decrease in Mn concentration was observed only upon PPF+VAM treatment. Shoot concentrations of Cu and Zn were highly enhanced by VAM but not by PPF. Of the total P uptake the PPF contribution accounted for 39–41 %, VAM contributed 41–50 % and their combination resulted in 55–58 %, in comparison to only 38–40 % contribution due to soil microorganisms under unsterilized conditions. The depletion of organic phosphorus in the rhizosphere soil increased in the order (PPF+VAM)>VAM>PPF> unsterilized soil>sterilized soil. The results demonstrate the efficient use of phytate phosphorus byA. fumigatus andG. mosseœ and suggest that dual inoculation is superior to a single one.
