  The Effect of Different Irrigation and Straw Returning on Wheat Yield and Water Use Efficiency in the Basin of the South of Shanxi 2012, 2 (12):  1-5.  Abstract + ( 1394 )   PDF ( 1135KB )   ( 1565 ) In order to effectively use water rainfall and irrigation water, in wheat-maize rotation area of south Shanxi in 2011-2012, a field experiment was conducted to study water-requiring, consumption properties, water use efficiency and grain yield by different irrigation time (450 m3/hm2) and straw returning treatments. The results showed that, soil water storage was W0 < W1 < W2 < W3, soil water consumption was W0 > W1 > W2 > W3, total water consumption exhibited W0 < W1 < W2 < W3, WUE exhibited W2 > W3 > W1 > W0 and grain yield represented W3 > W2 > W1 > W0 under different irrigation. WUE represented jointing water > winter water > filling water under different stages irrigation. Grain yield and WUE had the same order S > N under same irrigation. Based on comprehensive consideration of grain yield, soil storage, water consumption and water use efficiency, winter water + jointing water and straw returning treatment was a better mode to realize unified between water saving and high-yield.

  Effects of Conservation Tillage on Diurnal Variation of Photosynthesis in Grain Filling Stage and Yield of Winter Wheat 2012, 2 (12):  6-11.  Abstract + ( 1537 )   PDF ( 1182KB )   ( 1440 ) It was so significant to chose an appropriate conservation tillage to increase the wheat yield, when learning the wheat yield discipline under different conservation tillage in north of China. The Diurnal variation of photosynthesis, yield and so on of ‘Qingmai 6’ was studied under five different conservation tillage in grain filling stage. It showed that, the Intercellular CO2 concentration of tillage without straw (CK) was higher than tillage with straw, while the SPAD, photosynthetic rate and stamata conductance were lower than the tillage with straw which had reached the significant difference. The kernel yield increased by 18.04% and 6.83% under subsoiling treatment, compared with CK and deep tillage treatments. The higher photosynthetic rate increased 1000-grain weight and grain number per spike of subsoiling tillage treatment, so that it got a much higher kernel yield. The phenomenon of photosynthesis lunch break was retarded by tillage with straw and it could preserve the photosynthetic rate of wheat at a high lever to increase the kernel yield. This study had shown that subsoiling tillage treatments was the most appropriate treatment, the result provided a theoretical basis for local conservation tillage research.

  Study on Prediction Model of Millet Yield Lossing Caused by Weeds in Summer Season Millet Field 2012, 2 (12):  12-15.  Abstract + ( 1443 )   PDF ( 1146KB )   ( 1502 ) The study focused on weed management in summer season foxtail millet field by evaluating the weed damage and exploring competition between weeds and foxtail millet, a few fitting models were simulated and compared by employing field plot experiment and nonlinear regression analysis.

  Studies on the Keeping-alive Planting Techniques and Fixing-soil Antierosion Effects of Hemerocallis fulva on Terrace Ridges 2012, 2 (12):  31-36.  Abstract + ( 1414 )   PDF ( 1411KB )   ( 1601 ) In order to solve the problems of soil-fixation and erosion-resistance of terrace ridge, we did some research about planting and keep-alive technology of Hemerocallis fulva, the effects and economic benefits of soil-fixation and erosion-resistance. We finished the research by laboratorial determination of physiological index, planting root-protective seedlings, observation of runoff plots, and use Hemerocallis fulva as experimental material. The results showed that the critical saturation deficit of the Hemerocallis fulva was 66.73%. The leaf water loss rate was 98.43% at the 16th day, with strong drought resistance. The soil moisture in the terrace ridges was affected by the evaporation from the ridge sides. The soil water deficit value decreased with the increase of the distance away from the ridge side, but the soil nutrient content was higher near the ridge than in the middle of the terrace. The planting survival rate of the root-protected seedlings was much higher than that of the bare-root seedlings. Soil-fixed weight of the roots of the single eight-year-old Hemerocallis fulva was 69.2 kg, reaching the maximum. Compared with the control, planting Hemerocallis fulva on slope decreased the average annual soil erosion modulus (t/km2) and the annual fresh water runoff depth by 54.9% and 53.7%, respectively. Therefore, planting Hemerocallis fulva on slope had significant effects on soil fixation and antierosion. Hemerocallis fulva planted in terrace ridge will affect the yield of neighboring crops 2 meters around. But the gain from planting Hemerocallis fulva will be far greater than the loss caused by crop yield reduction.

  Study on the Influencing Factors of Shoot Differentiation of Rhizome in Cymbidium faberi ‘Dayipin’ 2012, 2 (12):  37-41.  Abstract + ( 1217 )   PDF ( 1460KB )   ( 1455 ) In order to study the rapid differentiation of rhizomes of Cymbidium faberi in tissue culture. The effects of basic medium, plant growth regulator, organic additives, P/N, carbon sources and sucrose concentration on the shoot differentiation of rhizomes were studied through the rhizomes from the self-cross seeds of Cymbidium faberi ‘Dayipin’. The results showed that the most appropriate cultivating medium was MS. The plant growth regulator had a significant effect on shoot differentiation. The highest shoot differentiation rate was appeared on 0.3 mg/L NAA+ 2.0 mg/L 6-BA. The organic additives promoted the shoot induction rate and the shoot differentiation rate of the rhizomes, and supplement of 100 g/L mashed bananas in medium significantly improved the shoot induction rate and the differentiation rate. Reduced the content of N (1/10N) and increased the content of P (5P) in the medium, can improved the shoot induction rate and the differentiation rate. Maltose was the most suitable carbon source for improving the shoot induction rate and the differentiation rate of the rhizomes and 20 g/L sucrose promoted the shoot differentiation of the rhizomes significantly.

  Surveillance and Analysis of Major Epidemics in Cherry Valley Breeding Duck in Southern China 2012, 2 (12):  50-53.  Abstract + ( 1311 )   PDF ( 1460KB )   ( 1925 ) To investigate the prevalence of major epidemics in cherry valley ducks in southern China, the author detected infectious agents in samples of cherry valley duck in different growth period collected from southern China. The results showed that: the major infectious diseases occurred among brooding cherry valley ducks (1-4-week-old) were mainly duck infectious serositis, duck viral hepatitis type Ⅰ and duck E.coli. Cherry valley ducks during growing-finishing period (5-21-week-old) were mainly infected with duck E.coli, R. anatipestifer and duck circovirus, from which avian Pasteurella multocida and Newcastle disease virus were also isolated occasionally. Cherry valley ducks during laying period were mostly infected with duck E.coli, and also could be infected with duck tembusu virus or duck circovirus. The results indicated that the situation of epidemics in cherry valley duck was becoming increasingly complex and grim, and the infectious agents in different growth stages were not the same. The surveillance of epidemics would be helpful for the prevention and control of diseases in cherry valley duck.
