Interseeding annual warm-season forages into perennial cool-season grasses may increase herbage mass and quality. Yet, methods to do so successfully remain elusive. From 2020 to 2022, we conducted an experiment that evaluated herbage mass responses to sod suppression after interseeding sorghum × sudangrass [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench × S. bicolor (L.) Moench ssp. drummondii (Nees ex Steud.) de Wet & Harlan] in three N-fertilized and three mixed-legume smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) pastures. Sod suppression treatments included glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine] applications of 0, 0.55, 1.10, 1.65, and 2.20 kg ha−1 on pastures that were heavily grazed in two rotational stocking periods in spring and an additional 0 kg ha−1 glyphosate control where herbage was stockpiled throughout spring, mowed, and removed before interseeding sorghum × sudangrass. In herbage samples collected 8 weeks after treatment, perennial grass mass showed exponential decay responses as glyphosate rate increased, while sorghum × sudangrass, weedy grass, and total herbage mass showed logistic growth responses. Sorghum × sudangrass reached a high of 2316 kg ha−1 as glyphosate rate increased to 1.65 kg ha−1 while weedy grass mass continued to increase as glyphosate rate increased to 2.20 kg ha−1. Reduced perennial grass mass in herbage samples collected the next spring indicated the presence of a tradeoff between increasing summer herbage now and reducing next spring herbage later with glyphosate application after interseeding sorghum × sudangrass. We concluded practitioners should not use glyphosate for sod suppression before interseeding warm-season annual forages into perennial cool-season grass pastures.

将一年生暖季型牧草间种到多年生冷季型牧草中,可以增加牧草的数量和质量。然而,成功做到这一点的方法仍然难以捉摸。从 2020 年到 2022 年,我们进行了一项实验,评估了高粱 × 苏丹草(Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench × S. bicolor (L.) Moench ssp. drummondii (Nees ex Steud.) de Wet & Harlan)在三种氮肥牧场和三种混合豆科平滑香茅(Bromus inermis Leyss.)牧场间种后草皮抑制对牧草质量的影响。草皮抑制处理包括在春季两个轮牧期大量放牧的牧场上施用草甘膦[N-(膦酰甲基)甘氨酸],施用量分别为 0、0.55、1.10、1.65 和 2.20 千克/公顷。在处理 8 周后采集的草料样本中,多年生草的质量随着草甘膦用量的增加呈指数衰减反应,而高粱 × 苏丹草、杂草和总草料质量则呈对数增长反应。当草甘膦用量增加到 1.65 千克/公顷时,高粱×苏丹草的质量达到 2316 千克/公顷,而当草甘膦用量增加到 2.20 千克/公顷时,杂草的质量继续增加。第二年春季采集的草本样本中多年生草的数量减少,表明在高粱×苏丹草间套种后施用草甘膦,在现在增加夏季草量和以后减少第二年春季草量之间存在权衡。我们的结论是,在将暖季型一年生牧草间种到多年生冷季型牧草中之前,从业人员不应使用草甘膦来抑制草皮生长。

Repetitive use of heavy farm machinery in cultivated agriculture may cause soil compaction that can adversely affect soil-health-related properties. Cover crops (CC) are well-documented to alleviate problems associated with compaction and improve overall soil health in time. The objective of this field study was to evaluate the cumulative effects of CC treatment (i.e., with ≥ 6 years cereal rye [Secale cereale L.] CC and ≥ 4 years with no cover crop [NCC]) and sample/measurement placement (i.e., in the bed [B] and in the wheel-track [WT] and no-wheel-track [NWT] furrow) on near-surface soil physical-, chemical-, and infiltration-related properties in an alluvial soil under cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in the Lower Mississippi River Valley. Samples were collected and in-situ measurements were conducted in late May 2019 within a single field in eastern Arkansas. Overall-infiltration rate was two times greater (p ≤ 0.01) in B compared to WT and NWT placement, which did not differ. Soil bulk density in WT was 1.1 times greater than the other two placements, while soil organic matter was greater in CC-WT (30.7 Mg ha−1) than in all other treatment-placement combinations, except for CC-NWT, which did not differ. Similarly, water-stable-aggregate concentration was 2.3 and 1.6 times greater in the CC-NWT and CC-WT combinations, respectively, which did not differ, compared to under NCC. Results demonstrated that CC benefits extended beyond the bed to positively affect soil properties in adjacent WT and NWT furrows. Continued small-scale, long-term management studies using CC will extend insight into site-specific, soil-health improvements.

在耕作农业中重复使用重型农机可能会造成土壤板结,从而对土壤健康相关特性产生不利影响。有充分证据表明,覆盖作物(CC)可缓解与板结相关的问题,并及时改善整体土壤健康状况。这项田间研究的目的是评估 CC 处理(即≥ 6 年的黑麦 [Secale cereale L.] CC 和≥ 4 年的无覆盖作物 [NCC])和样本/测量位置(即、在密西西比河下游河谷生产棉花(Gossypium hirsutum L.)的冲积土壤中,床面[B]、轮迹[WT]和无轮迹[NWT]沟中取样/测量对近表层土壤物理、化学和渗透相关特性的影响。2019 年 5 月下旬,在阿肯色州东部的一块田地中采集了样本并进行了原位测量。与没有差异的 WT 和 NWT 相比,B 的总渗透率高出两倍(p ≤ 0.01)。WT 的土壤容重是其他两种土壤容重的 1.1 倍,而 CC-WT 的土壤有机质(30.7 兆克/公顷-1)则高于所有其他处理-放置组合,但 CC-NWT 除外,两者没有差异。同样,与 NCC 相比,CC-NWT 和 CC-WT 组合的水稳定集聚物浓度分别高出 2.3 倍和 1.6 倍,两者没有差异。结果表明,CC 的益处超出了床面,对邻近的 WT 和 NWT 沟的土壤特性产生了积极影响。继续使用 CC 进行小规模、长期的管理研究将有助于深入了解特定地点的土壤健康改善情况。

Soil fertility depletion has significantly reduced the yields of various crops in Ethiopia, mainly the yield of malt barley in the district. To address this issue, integrated applications of vermicompost and mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers were tested. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of vermicompost and mineral nitrogen fertilizers application on malt barley yield (Hordeum distichum L.), soil properties, and economic benefits. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments were nine in various combinations of vermicompost (VC) and N fertilizer (N): (69 kg N; 0.79 t VC + 58.65 kg N; 1.59 t VC + 48.30 kg N; 2.39 t VC + 37.95 kg N; 3.19 t VC + 27.60 kg N; 3.98 t VC + 17.25 kg N; 4.78 t VC + 6.90 kg N; 5.31 t VC ha−1 and control). The highest soil pH was recorded by applying 5.31 t of vermicompost ha−1 alone. The highest total nitrogen (0.34%), available phosphorus (15.58 mg kg−1), grain yield (4950 kg ha−1), and net benefit (4255.74 USD) were recorded from the application of 2.39 t VC plus 37.95 kg N, while the highest soil organic carbon (3.38%) and cation exchange capacity (26.17 cmol (+) kg−1) were recorded from 3.19 t VC plus 27.60 kg N ha−1 compared to the control. This study concludes that applying 2.39 t VC and 37.95 kg N ha−1 in combination improves soil fertility, malt barley yield, and economic benefits for smallholder farmers in the study district and adopts this in similar soil types and agroecologies.

土壤肥力枯竭已导致埃塞俄比亚多种作物大幅减产,主要是该地区的麦芽大麦产量。为解决这一问题,对蛭肥和矿物氮肥的综合施用进行了测试。因此,本研究旨在评估施用蛭石堆肥和矿物氮肥对麦芽大麦产量(Hordeum distichum L.)、土壤性质和经济效益的影响。试验采用随机完全区组设计,三次重复。处理有九种,分别是蛭石堆肥(VC)和氮肥(N)的不同组合:(69 千克 N;0.79 吨 VC + 58.65 千克 N;1.59 吨 VC + 48.30 千克 N;2.39 吨 VC + 37.95 千克 N;3.19 吨 VC + 27.60 千克 N;3.98 吨 VC + 17.25 千克 N;4.78 吨 VC + 6.90 千克 N;5.31 吨 VC ha-1 和对照)。仅施用 5.31 吨蛭石堆肥 ha-1 时,土壤 pH 值最高。与对照组相比,施用 2.39 吨 VC+37.95 千克氮肥的土壤全氮(0.34%)、可利用磷(15.58 毫克/千克-1)、谷物产量(4950 千克/公顷-1)和净效益(4255.74 美元)最高,而施用 3.19 吨 VC+27.60 千克氮肥的土壤有机碳(3.38%)和阳离子交换容量(26.17 毫摩尔(+)/千克-1)最高。本研究的结论是,2.39 吨 VC 和 37.95 千克氮(公顷-1)的组合施用可提高土壤肥力、麦芽大麦产量,并为研究地区的小农带来经济效益,可在类似的土壤类型和农业生态中采用。

In order to identify the effect of genotype × trait, 20 maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids were cultivated and investigated in a randomized complete block design in three replications in the Karaj region. The results of the analysis of variance showed that the effect of genotype in terms of all traits except for the traits of days until the tassel dries, peduncle outside the flag leaf, tassel length, the number of fill seeds, and the depth of the seeds are significantly different. Based on the mean comparison done by Duncan's method, G3, G6, G7, and G4 genotypes were identified as favorable hybrids. Based on the graphic analysis, the genotypes G5, G4, G6, G3, G9, and G14 can be identified as desirable hybrids. The correlation diagram indicated that the grain yield trait has a positive correlation with tassel length, leaf length, leaf width, and leaf surface traits. Based on the principal component analysis, the first 10 components explained more than 74% of the data variance. The traits were classified into 10 components: components of ear characteristics, time characteristics in terms of maturity, leaf characteristics, characteristics of maize plant 1 (cob corn diameter, peduncle length, and grain yield traits), characteristics of maize plant 2 (number of tassel branches, leaf surface, and grain yield traits), physiological characteristics and germination, the crown part of the ear characteristics, grain characteristics, grain yield, and characteristics of the ear head. The experiment results indicated that G8, G15, G1, and G6 hybrids were more favorable in terms of grain yield trait.

为了确定基因型×性状的影响,在卡拉季地区对 20 个玉米(Zea mays L.)杂交种进行了栽培和研究,采用随机完全区组设计,三次重复。方差分析结果表明,除抽穗干枯天数、旗叶外花序梗、抽穗长度、饱满种子数和种子深度等性状外,基因型对所有性状的影响均有显著差异。根据邓肯法进行的均值比较,G3、G6、G7 和 G4 基因型被确定为有利杂交种。根据图形分析,基因型 G5、G4、G6、G3、G9 和 G14 可被确定为理想杂交种。相关图表明,谷物产量性状与穗长、叶长、叶宽和叶面性状呈正相关。根据主成分分析,前 10 个成分解释了 74% 以上的数据方差。性状分为 10 个成分:穗部性状成分、成熟期时间性状、叶片性状、玉米植株 1 的性状(玉米棒直径、梗长和籽粒产量性状)、玉米植株 2 的性状(穗分枝数、叶面和籽粒产量性状)、生理性状和发芽率、穗冠部分性状、籽粒性状、籽粒产量和穗头性状。试验结果表明,G8、G15、G1 和 G6 杂交种在谷粒产量性状方面更有利。

Environmental changes pose major impacts on the performance of crop genotypes with important implications for crop improvement strategies. Hence, breeders pay attention to the effects of genotype by environment interaction (GEI) to mine genetic resources and select adapted genotypes. Twenty sorghum genotypes selected from a large collection of Ethiopian sorghum landraces and two improved varieties were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with three replications at eight locations representing different environmental conditions in Ethiopia. The study aimed at assessing GEI and identifying stable and high-yielding genotypes of sorghum for grain yield and major agronomic traits. Analysis of variance and additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) revealed highly significant (p ≤ 0.001) variance due to genotypes, environments, and GEI among all traits except for days to maturity. Plant height, days to maturity, panicle width, panicle weight, and grain yield were highly affected by environment and GEI, while days to flowering, panicle length, and 1000-grain weight were mainly affected by genotypic variations. The data also suggest the importance of considering GEI in screening for high-yielding and stable sorghum genotypes across environments. Among testing sites, Chawaka, Gute, and Uke were ideal environments for grain yield and Asosa was the most discriminative environment. Three genotypes (ETSL100808, Merera, and ETSL100474) were superior and stable across test environments for grain yield and related traits. Overall, based on mean grain yield and disease reaction, AMMI, GGE (genotype and genotype by environment interaction) biplot, and regression models, ETSL100808 was the most stable, high-yielding, and disease-tolerant sorghum genotype, suggesting its potential both in breeding program, as donor of traits, and for direct release as a variety.

环境变化对作物基因型的表现有重大影响,对作物改良战略具有重要意义。因此,育种者关注基因型与环境交互作用(GEI)的影响,以挖掘遗传资源和选择适应的基因型。研究采用随机完全区组设计,在代表埃塞俄比亚不同环境条件的八个地点进行了三次重复,对从大量埃塞俄比亚高粱陆生品种和两个改良品种中选出的 20 种高粱基因型进行了评估。该研究旨在评估高粱的遗传变异指数(GEI),并确定粮食产量和主要农艺性状稳定的高产基因型。方差分析和加性主效应和乘性互作(AMMI)显示,除成熟天数外,基因型、环境和 GEI 在所有性状中都具有高度显著的方差(p ≤ 0.001)。植株高度、成熟天数、圆锥花序宽度、圆锥花序重量和谷物产量受环境和 GEI 的影响较大,而开花天数、圆锥花序长度和 1000 粒重则主要受基因型差异的影响。数据还表明,在不同环境下筛选高产稳产的高粱基因型时,考虑基因型指数非常重要。在测试点中,Chawaka、Gute 和 Uke 是谷物产量的理想环境,Asosa 是最具鉴别性的环境。三个基因型(ETSL100808、Merera 和 ETSL100474)在不同测试环境下的谷物产量和相关性状均表现优异且稳定。总之,根据平均谷物产量和病害反应、AMMI、GGE(基因型和基因型与环境的交互作用)双图谱和回归模型,ETSL100808 是最稳定、高产和抗病的高粱基因型,这表明它在育种计划中、作为性状供体和作为品种直接发布方面都具有潜力。

Plant height, days to maturity, panicle width, panicle weight, and grain yield were highly affected by environment and GEI, while days to flowering, panicle length, and 1000-grain weight were mainly affected by genotypic variations. The data also suggest the importance of considering GEI in screening for high-yielding and stable sorghum genotypes across environments. Among testing sites, Chawaka, Gute, and Uke were ideal environments for grain yield and Asosa was the most discriminative environment. Three genotypes (ETSL100808, Merera, and ETSL100474) were superior and stable across test environments for grain yield and related traits. Overall, based on mean grain yield and disease reaction, AMMI, GGE (genotype and genotype by environment interaction) biplot, and regression models, ETSL100808 was the most stable, high-yielding, and disease-tolerant sorghum genotype, suggesting its potential both in breeding program, as donor of traits, and for direct release as a variety.</p>","PeriodicalId":7567,"journal":{"name":"Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agg2.20544","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141813927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fundamental ecosystem processes in soil are regulated by microbial communities, and community diversity is implicated by soil environmental conditions. Humic acid (HA) improves soil quality and fertility, stimulating the microbial environment, but the detailed effects remain poorly understood. We investigated the effects of HA rates on soil bacterial diversity, particularly on species richness and community composition in the rhizosphere of corn (Zea mays). Inorganic fertilizer (T2), HA 0.5% (T3), HA 1.0% (T4), HA 1.5% (T5), and HA 2.0% (T6) were applied in soil. Initial soil (O1) and control after harvesting (T1) were included. A total of 3601 operational taxonomic units were captured from the overall sample, and analysis of 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid amplicon sequencing data indicated that HA did not notably impact species richness. Intriguingly, HA induced changes in bacterial community composition, along with the relative prevalence of specific taxa. Certain associations between soil chemical properties and abundance distribution have been uncovered. Notably, exchangeable Mg2+, Ca2+, and available phosphorus were strongly related to the relative abundance of bacterial phyla. Furthermore, HA potentially shaped the specific bacterial taxa, as the application of HA at different rates had distinct effects on the member of bacterial abundance of each taxon. These findings enhance our understanding of communities potentially being increased or shifted by HA rate addition in short-term corn cultivation.

土壤中的基本生态系统过程由微生物群落调节,群落多样性与土壤环境条件有关。腐植酸(HA)能改善土壤质量和肥力,刺激微生物环境,但其具体影响仍鲜为人知。我们研究了腐植酸浓度对土壤细菌多样性的影响,尤其是对玉米(玉米)根瘤菌群中物种丰富度和群落组成的影响。在土壤中施用无机肥料(T2)、HA 0.5%(T3)、HA 1.0%(T4)、HA 1.5%(T5)和 HA 2.0%(T6)。其中包括初始土壤(O1)和收获后的对照(T1)。从总体样本中总共捕获了 3601 个可操作的分类单元,对 16S 核糖体核糖核酸扩增片段测序数据的分析表明,HA 并未对物种丰富度产生显著影响。耐人寻味的是,HA 引发了细菌群落组成的变化,以及特定类群的相对流行率。土壤化学特性与丰度分布之间的某些联系已经被发现。值得注意的是,可交换的 Mg2+、Ca2+ 和可用磷与细菌类群的相对丰度密切相关。此外,HA 可能会影响特定的细菌类群,因为以不同的速率施用 HA 会对每个类群的细菌丰度产生不同的影响。这些发现加深了我们对短期玉米种植中添加 HA 可能会增加或改变群落的了解。

Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) bring diversity to agricultural systems, enhancing soil ecosystem services, food production, and environmental sustainability. Resource utilization efficiency practices under semiarid ecoregions include dual systems that grow wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for both grain and grazing (G) and recently complementary to wheat dual systems, cover crops (CC) for feeding both the soil and cattle during the fallow period. The latter continues to generate interest and there is a paucity of information on associated biochemical cycles. The objective was to evaluate the impact of CC and grazing thereof on soil microbiota structure, diversity, proliferation, and nutrient cycling. Introducing CC to no-till (NT [NTC]) and grazing CC (NTCG [ICLS]), increased total PLFA biomass (TPB) for ungrazed CC (NTC) by 12%, and grazed CC (NTCG [ICLS]) by 20%; total bacteria biomass (TBB) by 10% for NTC and 24% for NTCG; total fungal biomass (TFB) by 9% for NTC and 21% for NTCG. The CC significantly increased Gram (−) bacteria biomass by 17% and 34% for NTC and NTCG, respectively; the CC significantly increased Gram (+) bacteria biomass by 6% and 12% for NTC and NTCG, respectively; and the CC significantly increased arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi by 55% and 89% for NTC and NTCG respectively, compared to NT fallow practice. Significant correlations were observed for NO3–N, NH4+–N, water-extractable organic nitrogen, total nitrogen, and water-extractable organic carbon with TPB, TBB, and TFB using Haney soil health methods. Based on the measured parameters, the soil health status decreased in the order NTCG > NTC > NT > CT, where NT is the no-till, C is the cover crop, G is the grazing, and CT is the conventional-till. Grazing CC enhanced soil bacterial biomass over CC in solitude.

作物-牲畜综合系统(ICLS)为农业系统带来了多样性,提高了土壤生态系统服务、粮食产量和环境可持续性。半干旱生态区域的资源利用效率实践包括种植小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)以获取粮食和放牧(G)的双系统,以及最近作为小麦双系统的补充,在休耕期间用于喂养土壤和牛的覆盖作物(CC)。后者继续引起人们的兴趣,但有关相关生化循环的信息却很少。我们的目标是评估 CC 和放牧对土壤微生物群结构、多样性、增殖和养分循环的影响。在免耕(NT [NTC])和放牧 CC(NTCG [ICLS])中引入 CC,未放牧 CC(NTC)的 PLFA 总生物量(TPB)增加了 12%,放牧 CC(NTCG [ICLS])增加了 20%;NTC 的细菌总生物量(TBB)增加了 10%,NTCG 增加了 24%;NTC 的真菌总生物量(TFB)增加了 9%,NTCG 增加了 21%。与新界休耕相比,CC 使 NTC 和 NTCG 的革兰氏(-)细菌生物量分别大幅增加了 17% 和 34%;CC 使 NTC 和 NTCG 的革兰氏(+)细菌生物量分别大幅增加了 6% 和 12%;CC 使 NTC 和 NTCG 的丛枝菌根真菌分别大幅增加了 55% 和 89%。采用哈尼土壤健康方法,观察到 NO3--N、NH4+-N、水提取有机氮、全氮和水提取有机碳与 TPB、TBB 和 TFB 存在显著相关性。根据测量参数,土壤健康状况依次为 NTCG > NTC > NT > CT,其中 NT 为免耕,C 为覆盖作物,G 为放牧,CT 为常规耕作。放牧CC比单独放牧CC提高了土壤细菌生物量。

With grower interest in skip and wide row cotton systems, varietal performance in such systems has become a major question. An experiment was conducted in 2022 and 2023 in Tifton and Midville, GA, evaluating three row arrangements (standard 91-cm row spacing, 2 × 1 skip row, and 183-cm row spacing or wide row) and four commercially available varieties (Stoneville [ST] 5091 Bollgard 3 Xtendflex [B3XF], Phytogen [PHY] 400 Widestrike 3 Roundup Flex Enlist [W3FE], DynaGro [DG] 3799 B3XF, and Deltapine [DP] 1840 B3XF). There were no interactions between variety and row arrangement for any response variable, indicating the best variety for standard row spacings would also be the best variety in alternative row arrangements. Plant populations were reduced 32% and 53% in 2 × 1 skip-row and wide-row systems, respectively, compared to standard row arrangements, which accomplishes the major goal of these systems in reducing seed cost. Boll rot and hard lock were reduced in wide row treatments only, which could benefit cotton growers in the lower Southeast. However, reductions in lint yield were associated with 2 × 1 skip row (all site years) and wide row arrangements (three out of four site-years) compared to the grower standard. Differences among varieties were observed in plant heights, lint yield, and fiber quality, which is to be expected. These results confirm much of the work conducted on skip and wide row cotton systems and indicate that for growers in the lower Southeast to achieve maximum lint yields, standard row arrangements are superior to alternative row arrangements.

随着种植者对跳行和宽行棉花系统的兴趣,品种在这种系统中的表现已成为一个主要问题。2022 年和 2023 年,在佐治亚州的蒂夫顿和米德维尔进行了一项实验,评估了三种行列排列方式(标准 91 厘米行距、2 × 1 跳行、183 厘米行距或宽行)和四个市售品种(Stoneville [ST] 、Stoneville [ST] 、Stoneville [ST] 、Stoneville [ST和 183 厘米行距或宽行)以及四个市售品种(Stoneville [ST] 5091 Bollgard 3 Xtendflex [B3XF]、Phytogen [PHY] 400 Widestrike 3 Roundup Flex Enlist [W3FE]、DynaGro [DG] 3799 B3XF 和 Deltapine [DP] 1840 B3XF)。在任何响应变量中,品种和行列排列之间都没有交互作用,这表明标准行距的最佳品种也是替代行列排列的最佳品种。与标准行距相比,2 × 1 跳行和宽行系统的植株数量分别减少了 32% 和 53%,实现了这些系统降低种子成本的主要目标。仅在宽行处理中棉铃腐烂病和硬锁病有所减少,这可能会使东南部下游地区的棉花种植者受益。然而,与种植者标准相比,2 × 1 跳行(所有地点年)和宽行排列(四个地点年中的三个地点年)与皮棉产量降低有关。不同品种在株高、皮棉产量和纤维质量方面存在差异,这是意料之中的。这些结果证实了在跳行和宽行棉花系统方面所做的大量工作,并表明,对于东南部较低地区的种植者来说,要想获得最高皮棉产量,标准行安排优于其他行安排。

This study uses a small unmanned aircraft system equipped with a multispectral sensor to assess various vegetation indices (VIs) for their potential to monitor iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) in a grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) crop. IDC is a nutritional disorder that stunts a plants’ growth and causes its leaves to yellow due to an iron deficit. The objective of this project is to find the best VI to detect and monitor IDC. A series of flights were completed over the course of the growing season and processed using Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry to create orthorectified, multispectral reflectance maps in the red, green, red-edge, and near-infrared wavelengths. Ground data collection methods were used to analyze stress, chlorophyll levels, and grain yield, correlating them to the multispectral imagery for ground control and precise crop examination. The reflectance maps and soil-removed reflectance maps were used to calculate 25 VIs whose separability was then calculated using a two-class distance measure, determining which contained the largest separation between the pixels representing IDC and healthy vegetation. The field-acquired data were used to conclude which VIs achieved the best results for the dataset as a whole and at each level of IDC (low, moderate, and severe). It was concluded that the MERIS terrestrial chlorophyll index, normalized difference red-edge, and normalized green (NG) indices achieved the highest amount of separation between plants with IDC and healthy vegetation, with the NG reaching the highest levels of separability for both soil-included and soil-removed VIs.

本研究利用配备了多光谱传感器的小型无人机系统来评估各种植被指数(VIs),以了解它们在监测谷物高粱(Sorghum bicolor L.)作物缺铁性萎黄病(IDC)方面的潜力。缺铁萎黄病是一种营养失调症,由于缺铁,植物生长受阻,叶片发黄。该项目的目标是找到检测和监测 IDC 的最佳 VI。在生长季节期间完成了一系列飞行,并使用 "结构-运动 "摄影测量法进行处理,以创建正射影像、红、绿、红边和近红外波长的多光谱反射率图。地面数据收集方法用于分析压力、叶绿素水平和谷物产量,并将其与多光谱图像关联起来,以进行地面控制和精确的作物检查。反射率图和土壤去除后的反射率图用于计算 25 个 VI,然后使用两类距离测量法计算其可分离性,以确定代表 IDC 和健康植被的像素之间的最大分离度。利用实地获取的数据得出结论,在整个数据集和各个 IDC 级别(低度、中度和重度)上,哪些 VI 达到了最佳效果。得出的结论是,MERIS 陆地叶绿素指数、归一化红边差异指数和归一化绿色(NG)指数在 IDC 植物和健康植被之间的分离度最高,其中 NG 指数在包含土壤和去除土壤的 VIs 中的分离度最高。

Shade trees are important in cocoa agroforestry systems; however, they release allelochemicals from various parts that affect understory plants. Unfortunately, information on allelochemicals produced by shade tree bark in cocoa plantation remain scarce. This study investigates the effect of allelochemicals from bark of shade trees on cocoa seedlings growth. The experiment was a 4 × 11 factorial study, and the treatments were four different concentrations from each of the 11 tree species. The treatments were laid out in a completely randomized design with four replicates. Data were collected at 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 days after treatment applications. The tree species alone and bark extract concentrations alone significantly impacted plant height from 90 to 150 days after application. Albizia ferruginea (Guill. & Perr.) Benth, Celtis mildbraedii Engl., and Triplochiton scleroxylon K. Schum produced the highest cocoa seedling heights. All concentrations also influenced stem diameter of cocoa seedlings. Albizia ferruginea enhanced stem diameter significantly among tree species and the control. Tree species and bark extract concentrations interacted to increase fresh root weights and dry plant biomass. Albizia ferruginea consistently increased dry plant biomass, while C. mildbraedii produced the highest enhancement for fresh roots. All concentrations enhanced plant biomass, with the 75 mg mL−1 concentration consistently producing the highest plant fresh and dry weights. Albizia ferruginea and C. mildbraedii can be potential tree species in the cocoa agroforestry when 2-month-old cocoa seedlings are to be transplanted on the field. Bark extract of 75 mg mL−1 concentration can be used as a growth stimulant on cocoa seedlings.

遮荫树在可可农林系统中非常重要,但它们会从不同部位释放等位化学物质,影响林下植物。遗憾的是,有关可可种植园中遮荫树树皮产生的等位化学物质的信息仍然很少。本研究调查了荫树树皮中的等位化学物质对可可幼苗生长的影响。实验采用 4 × 11 因式研究,处理为 11 种树种中每种树皮的四种不同浓度。处理采用完全随机设计,设四个重复。数据分别在处理后 30、60、90、120 和 150 天收集。施药后 90 天至 150 天,仅树种和树皮提取物浓度就会对植株高度产生显著影响。Albizia ferruginea (Guill. & Perr.) Benth、Celtis mildbraedii Engl.和 Triplochiton scleroxylon K. Schum 的可可秧苗高度最高。所有浓度也都会影响可可秧苗的茎直径。在树种和对照组中,Albizia ferruginea 能显著增加茎干直径。树种和树皮提取物浓度相互作用,增加了鲜根重量和植物干生物量。Albizia ferruginea 可持续增加植物的干生物量,而 C. mildbraedii 对新鲜根系的增强作用最大。所有浓度都能提高植物生物量,其中 75 毫克毫升-1 浓度的植物鲜重和干重最高。当 2 个月大的可可幼苗被移栽到田地里时,铁线莲(Albizia ferruginea)和白千层(C. mildbraedii)可以作为可可农林业中的潜在树种。浓度为 75 毫克毫升/升的树皮提取物可用作可可幼苗的生长刺激剂。

All concentrations also influenced stem diameter of cocoa seedlings. <i>Albizia ferruginea</i> enhanced stem diameter significantly among tree species and the control. Tree species and bark extract concentrations interacted to increase fresh root weights and dry plant biomass. <i>Albizia ferruginea</i> consistently increased dry plant biomass, while <i>C</i>. <i>mildbraedii</i> produced the highest enhancement for fresh roots. All concentrations enhanced plant biomass, with the 75 mg mL<sup>−1</sup> concentration consistently producing the highest plant fresh and dry weights. <i>Albizia ferruginea</i> and <i>C</i>. <i>mildbraedii</i> can be potential tree species in the cocoa agroforestry when 2-month-old cocoa seedlings are to be transplanted on the field. Bark extract of 75 mg mL<sup>−1</sup> concentration can be used as a growth stimulant on cocoa seedlings.</p>","PeriodicalId":7567,"journal":{"name":"Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agg2.20543","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141565706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
