[Method] The starch-oriented Jishu No.21 and raw-eating oriented Jishu No.22 were studied to explore effects of planting density on yield and sink and source characteristics of sweet potato. [IRe- suit] Leaf area index of Jishu No.21 and Jishu No.22 were increasing upon planting density. Leaf area index of the same planting density showed a single-peak curve. Specifically, leaf area index grew fast during the 40th-80th d after planting, and reached the peak on the 80th d after planting, followed by decreasing. What＇s more, ventilation and sunshine transmission both declined upon planting density, as well as the number of leaf, the number of branch, the length of vine, dry and fresh weights of stem and leaf. When planting density exceeded 75 000 plants/hm2, the yield of sweet potato dropped dramatically. Besides, the optimal planting density tended to be volatile upon cultivars. For example, the range of 45 000-60 000 plants/hm2 is the optimal planting density of Jishu No.21 and the range of 60 000-75 000 plants/hm2 is the optimal planting density of Jishu No.22. [Conclusion] It can be concluded that rational planting densities would well coordinate sweet potato growth of ground parts and underground parts to get a high yield by providing a rational group structure. Considering the optimal planting density differs upon cultivars, it is necessary to take genotype, environment, soil fertility and planting density into consideration in determining planting density.展开更多

[Method] A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of different transplanting density on rice yield, nitrogen （N） absorption, sources of N uptake by rice and the N balance in the plant-soil systems by using ^15-labelled urea. [Result] There were no significant differences in rice yields and total N uptakes by rice between treatments 30 cm × 30 cm and 40 cm × 40 cm, but the yield of rice and total N absorption in the two treatments were remarkably higher than those in 50 cm × 50 cm treatment. The amounts of total N uptake by rice were in the range of 112.3-162.7 kg/hm2 in the three transplanting densities. The result showed that about 1/3 of the total N uptake by rice was supplied by application fertilizer and the other 2/3 was obtained from the soil N pool. The ^15N-labelled urea absorbed by rice, residual in soil and lost accounted for 16.3%-26.1%, 17.0%-20.9% and 53.0%-66.7% of the total fertilizer, respectively. A great deal of ^15N-labelled urea was lost during the rice growing season. [Conclusion] Considering the rice yield and environmental protection, the transplanting density of 30 cm×30 cm was recommended in the hilly area of Sichuan basin in the southwest China.展开更多

The results showed that in Chongqing, the delay of sowing date could shorten the fertility peri- od, and reduce 100-grain Weight and yield, but could increase plant height and ear height, panicle traits did not change significantly. With the density increasing, plant height and ear height also increased, while ear length, ear diameter, stem diameter, row number and kernel number also decreased. 100-grain weight and yield also in- creased with the increase of density, but to a certain threshold, yield and 100-grain weight decreased with the increase of density. The yield of 3 sowing periods pre- sented as AI〉A2〉A3, the yield of 4 kinds of density presented as B3〉EH〉B2〉B1, and the yield under sowing time and density interaction presented as AIB3〉A1B4〉 A2.B3〉A2.B4〉A3B3〉 A3B4〉A2.B2〉A1BI〉A2BI〉A3BI. So proper eady sowing and increase of planting density could raise the yield of maize per unit area, and AIB3 was the optimum planting configuration in Chongqing area.展开更多

[Method] Under the condition of field plot test, effects of cultivation density on yield and yield components were investigated with japonica rice Longke 16 as a test material. [Result] Under a planting density of 2.7-3.3×10^5 clusters/hm^2, equivalent to a density of seedlings with tillers of 5.4-6.6×10^5/hm^2, the yield reached 11 250-12 000 kg/hm^2. [Conclusion] Longke 16 is a japonica rice variety with good comprehensive characters, and rational dense planting and accurate quantitative cultivation could give full play to its high yield potential.展开更多

[Methods] Effects of in- teraction between density and nitrogen rate on the growth and yield of direct sowing rapeseed under no-tillage condition were investigated with Chuanyou 58 as materials and a split-plot experiment adopted. [Results] In Chengdu Plain, the yields of rape- seed changed from increasing to decreasing with increase of density and nitrogen rate. Both of density and nitrogen rate had significant effects on growth and yield of rapeseed and the latter overweighed in the effect. In addition, interaction of the two had negative effects on rapeseed yield. The yield of rapeseeds achieved the highest at 3 395.25 kg/hm^2 with interaction of density at 30.00×10^4 plant/hm^2 and nitrogen rate at 180.00 kg/hm^2; the theoretical maximal yield was 3 403.41 kg/hm^2 with interaction of density at 40.80×10^4 plants/hm^2 and nitrogen rate at 198.90 kg/hm^2. [Conclusion] In Chengdu Plain, the optimal density and nitrogen rate are 30.00×10^4-45.00×10^4 plant/hm^2 and 180.00-198.90 kg/hm^2, respectively.展开更多

[Method] Two rapeseed cultivars, Ningza 19 and Ningza 21, with certain pod-cracking resistance, were employed in field experiments. The two-factor split plot design and randomized complete block design were adopted. The rapeseed seeds were directly sowed with four different seeding rates （1.50, 2.25, 3.00 and 3.75 kg/hm2）. A total of four treatments were designed （112 500, 225 000, 337 500 and 450 000 plants/hm2）. After ripe, the rapeseed was harvested with harvester. Then the yield and harvesting loss rate were determined. [Result] When the planting density ranged from 112 500 to 450 000 plants/hm2, the mechanical harvesting loss rate was decreased with the increase of planting density （Ningza 19, 7.54%-4.01%; Ningza 21, 7.19%-3.81%）. The total loss rates were all below 5% for the high plant densities, 337 500 and 450 000 plants/hm2. High planting density had certain regulating effects on plant type of rapeseed, including reducing plant height, reducing biomass per plant, reducing branch pod numbers per plant, weakening crossing and tangling among stems and improving ripening uniformity of pods. All the changes above were all conducive to reducing mechanical harvesting loss. In addition, the test results showed after the pods grew to maturity, especially when pods were yellow and the moisture content in grains was reduced to 11%, the mechanical harvesting loss only accounted for about 1% of the total field loss. In addition, the shattering loss, caused by mild col- lision, represented more than 90%, and the cleaning loss, occurred during the threshing and cleaning process, represented 4%-8% of the total field loss. The un- harvesting loss accounted for approximately 1% of the total loss. The shattering loss is closely related to cultivar characteristics, planting density, production level and other agronomic factors. The cleaning loss is determined by properties of harvesting machines. The unharvesting loss depends on mechanical properties ad skills of workers or farmers who drive harvesting machines. [Conclusion] In order to reduce mechanical harvesting loss, the rapeseed production should be improved from the perspectives of agricultural machinery and agronomic measures.展开更多

The results showed that the whole growth period of Liangtianzi 1 was 146 d. Its biomass yield was above 10 t/hm^2, while its economic yield was only about 3 t/hm^2. Transplanting density had a large impact on the number of effective panicles, number of grains par panicle, seed setting rate and yield of purple rice variety. In this study, the planting spacing of 20.0 cm × 20.0 cm gained the highest yield, 3.63 t/hm^2. Key techniques for high-yielding cultivation of Liangtianzi 1 remain to further research.展开更多

In field experiments as per double-cropping system, 4 main plots （fertilization levels） and 6 subplots （planting densities） were set in a split plot design. The results suggested that yield had close relationship with fertilization levels and planting densities. Different fertilization levels and planting densities significantly affected yield. With the increase of nitrogen fertilization, nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen agronomic efficiency and nitrogen physiological efficiency declined. Under the same fertilization level, nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen agronomic efficiency and nitrogen physiological efficiency grew a little with the increase of planting density, so nitrogen efficiency could be improved by regulating planting density. The results also showed that A2 （including N 225.0 kg/hm2, P205 75.0 kg/hm^2, K20 187.5 kg/hm^2） matching to B3 （52 500 plants/hm^2） or B4（60 000 plants/hm^2） was a better design, which could obtain a higher yield in the range of 7 913.2-8 207.8 kg/hm2, respectively.展开更多

The results indicated that the yield of Lingliangyoul04 showed an increase tendency with the increasing of machine-transplanted density; the highest yield of Lingliangyou104 showed in D1 by 9.66 t/hm^2, it increased by 12.2% and 22.4% compared with D2 and D3, respectively. Under high machine-transplanted density, Lingliangyoul04 performed with more effective panicles, large index of leaf area, high probability of intercepting light radiation by canopy, and strong leaf photosynthetic capacity, thus increasing amount of dry matter production and high yield.展开更多

文摘Dense cropping increases crop yield but intensifies resource competition,which reduces single plant yield and limits potential yield growth.Optimizing canopy spacing could enhance resource utilization,support crop morphological development and increase yield.Here,a three-year study was performed to verify the feasibility of adjusting row spacing to further enhance yield in densely planted soybeans.Of three row-spacing configurations(40-40,20-40,and 20-60 cm)and two planting densities(normal 180,000 plants ha 1 and high 270,000 plants ha 1).The differences in canopy structure,plant morphological development,photosynthetic capacity and their impact on yield were analyzed.Row spacing configurations have a significant effect on canopy transmittance(CT).The 20-60 cm row spacing configuration increased CT and creates a favorable canopy light environment,in which plant height is reduced,while branching is promoted.This approach reduces plant competition,optimizes the developments of leaf area per plant,specific leaf area,leaf area development rate,leaf area duration and photosynthetic physiological indices(F_(v)/F_(m),ETR,P_(n)).The significant increase of 11.9%-34.2%in canopy apparent photosynthesis(CAP)is attributed to the significant optimization of plant growth and photosynthetic physiology through CT,an important contributing factor to yield increases.The yield in the 20-60 cm treatment is 4.0%higher than in equidistant planting under normal planting density,but 5.9%under high density,primarily driven by CAP and pod number.These findings suggest that suitable row spacing configurations optimize the light environment for plants,promote source-sink transformation in soybeans,and further improve yield.In practice,a 20-60 cm row spacing configuration could be employed for high-density soybean planting to achieve a more substantial yield gain.

文摘The high labor demand during rice seedling cultivation and transplantation poses a significant challenge in advancing machine-transplanted rice cultivation.This problem may be solved by increasing the seeding rate during seedling production while reducing the number of seedling trays.This study conducted field experiments from 2021 to 2022,using transplanting seedling ages of 10 and 15 days to explore the effects of 250,300,and 350 g/tray on the seedling quality,mechanical transplantation quality,yields,and economic benefits of rice.The commonly used combination of 150 g/tray with a 20-day seedling age in rice production was used as CK.The cultivation of seedlings under a high seeding rate and short seedling age significantly affected seedling characteristics,but there was no significant difference in seedling vitality compared to CK.The minimum number of rice trays used in the experiment was observed in the treatment of 350-10(300 g/tray and 10-day seedling age),only 152-155 trays ha^(-1),resulting in a 62%reduction in the number of trays needed.By increasing the seeding rate of rice,missed holes during mechanical transplantation decreased by 2.8 to 4%.The treatment of 300-15(300 g/tray and 15-day seedling age)achieved the highest yields and economic gains.These results indicated that using crop straw boards can reduce the application of seedling trays.On that basis,rice yields can be increased by raising the seeding rate and shortening the seedling age of rice without compromising seedling quality.

文摘The rapeseed,as the second oilseed crop in China,is an important source of edible oil.Reasonable planting density can improve rapeseed production efficiency,and indirectly increase farmers'the production enthusiasm of planting rapeseed.To gain a more comprehensive understanding of the study on effect of rapeseed yield to planting density,this article reviews the effect on planting density to yield in rapeseed,including the influences of the interaction between cultivation factors(variety,sowing period,and fertilization),the impact of plant density to lodging resistance and growth and development(biological characteristics,agronomic characteristics,yield traits,and quality tracts),and planting density and the relationship between light and planting density,are reviewed.The lodging resistance of oilseed rape and population yield of different rape varieties can be improved by choosing the appropriate sowing date and fertilizer application,and give full play to the rational utilization of resources and the maximization of benefits.The oilseed rape can make rational use of light and nutrients,which is conducive to dry matter accumulation and yield improvement,with proper planting density.This review will provide a theoretical basis and practical support for rapeseed planting,management,and mechanized production.

文摘The exogenous plant growth regulator,diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate(DA-6),in combination with suitable varieties and planting densities,is important to increase yield in the maize-soybean strip intercropping system.To identify the role of DA-6 in mitigating high-density stress and increasing yield,we conducted a two-year field experiment examining changes in branching architecture and other yield traits of soybeans in maize-soybean strip intercropping systems.In the planting system,two soybean cultivars(ND:Nandou 25 and QH:Qihuang 34)were grown under three planting densities(D1:102,000 plants ha^(-1),D2:130,000 plants ha^(-1),D3:158,000 plants ha^(-1))with DA-6 treatments(DA0:water control;DA60:60 mg L^(-1);DA100:100 mg L^(-1)).Applying DA-6 at 60 mg L^(-1)at the fourth trifoliolate leaf stage increased soybean yield,with QH yield rising by 22.4% and 29.5% at D3 density,and ND yield by 29.5% and 30.0% at D2 density in 2022 and 2023,respectively,compared with D1 under DA0.DA-6improved photosynthesis in both varieties under D2 density,with DA60 increasing ND canopy photosynthetic rate by 15.1%-16.4% and QG by 9.1%-20.6% over two years.In ND,DA-6 enhanced branching,raising the leaf area index by 37%,branch number from 3.6 to 4.7 per plant,and total pod number by 19.7%.In QH,yield grains were mainly due to a 17% increase in the number of stem pods and a 6.5% improvement in hundred-grain weight.In the maize-soybean strip intercropping system,QH achieved a high yield by forming a high-density(D2 to D3)main stem pod,and ND by combining moderate density(D1 to D2)with DA-6-induced branching.

文摘High-density planting increases maize yield but also canopy crowding and stalk lodging.Aiming this contradiction,a wavy canopy was created using interlaced chemical application(IC)of a plant growth retardant at the V14 stage with three densities(60,000,75,000,and 90,000 plants ha-1,indicated by D1,D2,and D3,respectively)for two seasons.The results showed that the IC-treated wavy canopy featuring both natural height(IC-H)and dwarfed(IC-L)plants,improved light transmission by 8.54%,8.49%,and 16.49%on average than the corresponding controls(CK)at D1,D2,and D3,respectively.The alleviation of canopy crowding stimulated leaf photosynthesis,sugar availability,basal-internode strength,and decreased plant lodging ratios in both IC-H and IC-L,particularly under higher densities.Meanwhile,the IC populations produced significantly higher yield than CK,with an average increase of 3.38%,16.70%,and 15.28%at D1,D2,and D3,respectively.Collectively,this study proposed a new wavy canopy strategy using plant growth retardant to simultaneously increase yield performance and lodging resistance,thus offering a sustainable solution for further development of high-density maize production.

文摘Late sowing is a critical factor that hinders achieving high-yield,good-quality wheat under rice-wheat rotation.Understanding the physiological basis and regulatory pathways that lead to high yield and sound quality late-sown wheat is crucial for developing effective cultivation strategies.A 2-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of sowing date,nitrogen(N)application rate,and planting density on wheat yield,grain quality,population characteristics,and the underlying physiological factors.The results revealed significant interactions among the sowing date,planting density,and N application in regulating both yield and quality.Late sowing reduced grain yield primarily by reducing the number of spikes and kernels.However,the latter was improved by increasing N application and the planting density,thus mitigating the yield losses caused by late sowing.Moreover,the grain protein content(GPC)and wet gluten content(WGC)increased with delayed sowing dates and higher N rates but decreased with increased planting densities.For wheat yields over 9,000 or 7,500 kg ha^(-1),the latest sowing date should not be later than Nov.4 or 15,respectively.In addition,specific criteria should be met,including a maximum of 1.5 and 1.0 million stems and tillers ha^(-1),a maximum leaf area index of 6.7 and 5.5,and a dry matter accumulation(DMA)at anthesis of 14,000 and 12,000 kg ha^(-1),respectively.For high-yield,good-quality late-sown wheat,the optimal combination is a 25%increase in the N rate(300 kg N ha^(-1))and a planting density of 2.25 million(N300D225)or 3.75 million(N300D375)plants ha^(-1)for 10-or 20-day delays in sowing,respectively.These combinations result in a higher leaf net photosynthetic rate,higher activities of leaf nitrate reductase,glutamine synthetase,grain glutamic pyruvic transaminase,and a lower sugar-N ratio during post-anthesis.

文摘A coalescence model was employed to form deuterons(d),tritons(t),and helium-3(^(3)He)nuclei from a uniformly-distributed volume of protons(p)and neutrons(n).We studied the ratio N_(t)N_(p)/N_(d)^(2)of light nuclei yields as a function of the neutron density fluctuations.We investigated the effect of finite transverse momentum(p_(T))acceptance on the ratio,in particular,the“extrapolation factor”(f)for the ratio as a function of the p_(T)spectral shape and the magnitude of neutron density fluctuations.The nature of f was found to be monotonic in p_(T)spectra“temperature”parameter and neutron density fluctuation magnitude;variations in the latter are relatively small.We also examined f in realistic simulations using the kinematic distributions of protons measured from the heavy-ion collision data.The nature of f was found to be smooth and monotonic as a function of the beam energy.Therefore,we conclude that extrapolation from limited p_(T)ranges does not create,enhance,or reduce the local peak of the N_(t)N_(p)/N_(d)^(2)ratio in the beam energy.Our study provides a necessary benchmark for light nuclei ratios as a probe for nucleon density fluctuations,an important observation in the search for the critical point of nuclear matter.

文摘Ridge-furrow film mulching has been widely used as a water-saving and yield-increasing planting pattern in arid and semiarid regions.Planting density is also a vitally important factor influencing crop yield,and the optimal planting density will vary in different environments(such as ridge-furrow film mulching).How the combination of film mulching and planting density will affect the growth,physiology,yield,and water and radiation use efficiencies of winter oilseed rape is not clear yet.Therefore,a three-year field experiment was conducted from 2017 to 2020 to explore the responses of leaf chlorophyll(Chl)content,net photosynthetic rate(P_(n)),leaf area index(LAI),aboveground dry matter(ADM),root growth and distribution,yield,evapotranspiration(ET),water use efficiency(WUE),and radiation use efficiency(RUE)of winter oilseed rape to different film mulching patterns(F,ridge-furrow planting with plastic film mulching over the ridges;N,flat planting without mulching)and planting densities(LD,100,000 plants ha^(-1);MD,150,000 plants ha^(-1);HD,200,000 plants ha^(-1)).The results showed that the F treatments led to significantly greater leaf Chl contents,P_(n),LAI,and ADM,and a stronger root system than treatments without film mulching throughout the whole winter rapeseed growing seasons.Winter oilseed rape in the MD treatments had better physiological(leaf Chl contents and P_(n))and growth(LAI,ADM,taproot,and lateral root)conditions than in LD and HD at the late growth period after stem-elongation.Grain yield in FMD was the greatest,and it was significantly greater by 34.8-46.0%,6.7-9.6%,87.8-108.3%,38.7-50.3%,and 50.2-61.8%compared to those of FLD,FHD,NLD,NMD,and NHD,respectively.Furthermore,the ET in FMD was equivalent to FLD and FHD,but was markedly lower by 12.2-18.4%,14.5-20.3%,and 14.6-20.4%than in NLD,NMD,and NHD.Finally,the WUE and RUE in FMD were significantly improved by 88.5-94.0%and 29.0-41.8%compared to NHD(the local conventional planting pattern and planting density for winter rapeseed).In summary,FMD is a favorable cultivation management strategy to save water,increase yield and improve resource utilization efficiencies in winter oilseed rape in Northwest China.

文摘Although traditional gamma-gamma density(GGD)logging technology is widely utilized,its potential environmental risks have prompted the development of more environmentally friendly neutron-gamma density(NGD)logging technology.However,NGD measurements are influenced by both neutron and gamma radiations.In the logging environment,variations in the formation composition indicate different elemental compositions,which affect the neutron-gamma reaction cross-sections and gamma generation.Compared to traditional gamma sources such as Cs-137,these changes significantly affect the generation and transport of neutron-induced inelastic gamma rays and hinder accurate measurements.To address this,a novel method is proposed that incorporates the mass attenuation coefficient function to account for the effects of various lithologies and pore contents on gamma-ray attenuation,thereby achieving more accurate density measurements by clarifying the transport processes of inelastic gamma rays with varying energies and spatial distributions in varied logging environments.The proposed method avoids the complex correction of neutron transport and is verified through Monte Carlo simulations for its applicability across various lithologies and pore contents,demonstrating absolute density errors that are less than 0.02 g/cm^(3)in clean formations and indicating good accuracy.This study clarifies the NGD mechanism and provides theoretical guidance for the application of NGD logging methods.Further studies will be conducted on extreme environmental conditions and tool calibration.

文摘[Objective] The aim was to resolve the issue of sparsely planting （37 500-40 500 plants/hm2） of sweet potato in hilly areas. [Method] The starch-oriented Jishu No.21 and raw-eating oriented Jishu No.22 were studied to explore effects of planting density on yield and sink and source characteristics of sweet potato. [IRe- suit] Leaf area index of Jishu No.21 and Jishu No.22 were increasing upon planting density. Leaf area index of the same planting density showed a single-peak curve. Specifically, leaf area index grew fast during the 40th-80th d after planting, and reached the peak on the 80th d after planting, followed by decreasing. What＇s more, ventilation and sunshine transmission both declined upon planting density, as well as the number of leaf, the number of branch, the length of vine, dry and fresh weights of stem and leaf. When planting density exceeded 75 000 plants/hm2, the yield of sweet potato dropped dramatically. Besides, the optimal planting density tended to be volatile upon cultivars. For example, the range of 45 000-60 000 plants/hm2 is the optimal planting density of Jishu No.21 and the range of 60 000-75 000 plants/hm2 is the optimal planting density of Jishu No.22. [Conclusion] It can be concluded that rational planting densities would well coordinate sweet potato growth of ground parts and underground parts to get a high yield by providing a rational group structure. Considering the optimal planting density differs upon cultivars, it is necessary to take genotype, environment, soil fertility and planting density into consideration in determining planting density.

文摘[Objective] The experiment was conducted to explore the suitable planting density and nitrogen amount for summer maize in Sichuan Basin with the objective to provide technical reservation and scientific basis for high-yielding cultivation technique.[Method] A widely planted maize cultivar ＇Chengdan 30＇ was used as experimental material to study the effects of planting density and nitrogen amount on the stalk agronomic traits,stalk lodging-resistance mechanical characters,stalk breaking percentage and yield of maize.Experiment was arranged in a two-factor split plot design with three replicates.The planting density was the main factor with three density gradients（4.5×10^4,6.0×10^4 and 7.5×10^4 plants/hm^2） and the nitrogen amount was the second factor with two different levels of nitrogen content（300 and 375 kg/hm^2）.[Result] The stalk lodging-resistance and yield were affected by planting density significantly.The increase of planting density would result in an increase of internode length and decrease of internode diameter,dry matter weight of per unit stalk length,rind penetration strength and breaking resistance of 3rd and 4th basal internodes.When planting density increased from 6.0×10^4 plants/hm2 to 7.5×10^4 plants/hm^2,the stalk breaking percentage in the whole growing season increased by 17.17%,and the yield reduced by 17.58%.The interaction between planting density and nitrogen amount affected the stalk breaking percentage in the whole growing season and yield significantly.The treatment with planting density of 6.0×104 plants/hm^2 and nitrogen amount of 375 kg/hm^2 of pure N was an optimal combination,which may not only control the stalk breaking percentage of whole growing stage effectively,but also could obtain an optimum grain yield.[Conclusion] In Sichuan Basin,the appropriate planting density and nitrogen amount for summer maize were 6.0×10^4 plants/hm^2 and 375 kg/hm^2.

文摘[Objective] The aim of this study was investigated the rice yield, nitrogen uptake and ^15-fertilizer fate at different transplanting density to provide scientific ba- sis for improving the yield of rice and applying reasonably fertilizer. [Method] A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of different transplanting density on rice yield, nitrogen （N） absorption, sources of N uptake by rice and the N balance in the plant-soil systems by using ^15-labelled urea. [Result] There were no significant differences in rice yields and total N uptakes by rice between treatments 30 cm × 30 cm and 40 cm × 40 cm, but the yield of rice and total N absorption in the two treatments were remarkably higher than those in 50 cm × 50 cm treatment. The amounts of total N uptake by rice were in the range of 112.3-162.7 kg/hm2 in the three transplanting densities. The result showed that about 1/3 of the total N uptake by rice was supplied by application fertilizer and the other 2/3 was obtained from the soil N pool. The ^15N-labelled urea absorbed by rice, residual in soil and lost accounted for 16.3%-26.1%, 17.0%-20.9% and 53.0%-66.7% of the total fertilizer, respectively. A great deal of ^15N-labelled urea was lost during the rice growing season. [Conclusion] Considering the rice yield and environmental protection, the transplanting density of 30 cm×30 cm was recommended in the hilly area of Sichuan basin in the southwest China.

文摘In order to investigate the most suitable sowing period and the optimum planting density of new com variety ‘Yudan 30＇ In Chongqing region, using split plot experiment design, the effect of sowing date and planting density on main a- gronomic characters and yield of maize in the field was studied. The results showed that in Chongqing, the delay of sowing date could shorten the fertility peri- od, and reduce 100-grain Weight and yield, but could increase plant height and ear height, panicle traits did not change significantly. With the density increasing, plant height and ear height also increased, while ear length, ear diameter, stem diameter, row number and kernel number also decreased. 100-grain weight and yield also in- creased with the increase of density, but to a certain threshold, yield and 100-grain weight decreased with the increase of density. The yield of 3 sowing periods pre- sented as AI〉A2〉A3, the yield of 4 kinds of density presented as B3〉EH〉B2〉B1, and the yield under sowing time and density interaction presented as AIB3〉A1B4〉 A2.B3〉A2.B4〉A3B3〉 A3B4〉A2.B2〉A1BI〉A2BI〉A3BI. So proper eady sowing and increase of planting density could raise the yield of maize per unit area, and AIB3 was the optimum planting configuration in Chongqing area.

文摘[Objective] The aim was to explore the optimal density and nitrogen rate of no-tilling and direct sowing rapeseeds in Chengdu plain. [Methods] Effects of in- teraction between density and nitrogen rate on the growth and yield of direct sowing rapeseed under no-tillage condition were investigated with Chuanyou 58 as materials and a split-plot experiment adopted. [Results] In Chengdu Plain, the yields of rape- seed changed from increasing to decreasing with increase of density and nitrogen rate. Both of density and nitrogen rate had significant effects on growth and yield of rapeseed and the latter overweighed in the effect. In addition, interaction of the two had negative effects on rapeseed yield. The yield of rapeseeds achieved the highest at 3 395.25 kg/hm^2 with interaction of density at 30.00×10^4 plant/hm^2 and nitrogen rate at 180.00 kg/hm^2; the theoretical maximal yield was 3 403.41 kg/hm^2 with interaction of density at 40.80×10^4 plants/hm^2 and nitrogen rate at 198.90 kg/hm^2.

文摘[Objective] This study aimed to explore agronomical measures to reduce the mechanical harvesting loss of rapeseed. [Method] Two rapeseed cultivars, Ningza 19 and Ningza 21, with certain pod-cracking resistance, were employed in field experiments. The two-factor split plot design and randomized complete block design were adopted. The rapeseed seeds were directly sowed with four different seeding rates （1.50, 2.25, 3.00 and 3.75 kg/hm2）. A total of four treatments were designed （112 500, 225 000, 337 500 and 450 000 plants/hm2）. After ripe, the rapeseed was harvested with harvester. Then the yield and harvesting loss rate were determined. [Result] When the planting density ranged from 112 500 to 450 000 plants/hm2, the mechanical harvesting loss rate was decreased with the increase of planting density （Ningza 19, 7.54%-4.01%; Ningza 21, 7.19%-3.81%）. The total loss rates were all below 5% for the high plant densities, 337 500 and 450 000 plants/hm2. High planting density had certain regulating effects on plant type of rapeseed, including reducing plant height, reducing biomass per plant, reducing branch pod numbers per plant, weakening crossing and tangling among stems and improving ripening uniformity of pods. All the changes above were all conducive to reducing mechanical harvesting loss. In addition, the test results showed after the pods grew to maturity, especially when pods were yellow and the moisture content in grains was reduced to 11%, the mechanical harvesting loss only accounted for about 1% of the total field loss. In addition, the shattering loss, caused by mild col- lision, represented more than 90%, and the cleaning loss, occurred during the threshing and cleaning process, represented 4%-8% of the total field loss. The un- harvesting loss accounted for approximately 1% of the total loss. The shattering loss is closely related to cultivar characteristics, planting density, production level and other agronomic factors. The cleaning loss is determined by properties of harvesting machines. The unharvesting loss depends on mechanical properties ad skills of workers or farmers who drive harvesting machines. [Conclusion] In order to reduce mechanical harvesting loss, the rapeseed production should be improved from the perspectives of agricultural machinery and agronomic measures.

文摘Liangtianzi 1 was used as a material to study the effects of transplanting density on the yield formation characteristics of purple rice. The results showed that the whole growth period of Liangtianzi 1 was 146 d. Its biomass yield was above 10 t/hm^2, while its economic yield was only about 3 t/hm^2. Transplanting density had a large impact on the number of effective panicles, number of grains par panicle, seed setting rate and yield of purple rice variety. In this study, the planting spacing of 20.0 cm × 20.0 cm gained the highest yield, 3.63 t/hm^2. Key techniques for high-yielding cultivation of Liangtianzi 1 remain to further research.
文摘Elite maize hybrid Guidan0810 was selected as material, and the effects of fertilizing level and planting densities on yield and nitrogen utilization were dis- cussed in the study. In field experiments as per double-cropping system, 4 main plots （fertilization levels） and 6 subplots （planting densities） were set in a split plot design. The results suggested that yield had close relationship with fertilization levels and planting densities. Different fertilization levels and planting densities significantly affected yield. With the increase of nitrogen fertilization, nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen agronomic efficiency and nitrogen physiological efficiency declined. Under the same fertilization level, nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen agronomic efficiency and nitrogen physiological efficiency grew a little with the increase of planting density, so nitrogen efficiency could be improved by regulating planting density. The results also showed that A2 （including N 225.0 kg/hm2, P205 75.0 kg/hm^2, K20 187.5 kg/hm^2） matching to B3 （52 500 plants/hm^2） or B4（60 000 plants/hm^2） was a better design, which could obtain a higher yield in the range of 7 913.2-8 207.8 kg/hm2, respectively.

The results indicated that the yield of Lingliangyoul04 showed an increase tendency with the increasing of machine-transplanted density; the highest yield of Lingliangyou104 showed in D1 by 9.66 t/hm^2, it increased by 12.2% and 22.4% compared with D2 and D3, respectively. Under high machine-transplanted density, Lingliangyoul04 performed with more effective panicles, large index of leaf area, high probability of intercepting light radiation by canopy, and strong leaf photosynthetic capacity, thus increasing amount of dry matter production and high yield.
文摘[Objective] The aim was to explore high-yielding cultivation techniques for forage sweet sorghum.
