  Effects of different planting densities on population ecological characteristics and yield of peanut under the mode of single-seed precision sowing zhaochangxing 2013, 3 (2):  1-5.  Abstract + ( 1427 )   PDF ( 996KB )   ( 1594 ) In order to clarify the high yield cultivation principle of peanut under single seed precision sowing pattern, choosing the common type peanut variety ‘Luhua 11’ as experimental materiel, a systematic study was conducted on the changes of population ecological characteristics and yield benefit of peanut under different densities, and determined the appreciate density of single seed precision sowing. The results showed that the height of main stem and the length of branching stem of peanut showed an increase trend with the add of the density in the low density range (13.5-19.5 ten thousand plant?hm-2), while the node numbers of main and branching stems indicated a decrease trend. And also under the mode of single-seed precision sowing, the sowing-hole number increased, single plant environment was better, and the mutual influence among the plants was small, which was benefit to shape the high-yield plant type, and to improve light use efficiency of peanut. Therefore, under the conditions of this study, 20 ten thousand seed?hm-2 would be recommended for the appreciate density of single seed precision sowing of peanut. It concluded that in a certain density range, on the one hand, single seed precision sowing of peanut had seed-saving role, on the other hand, it had yield-increasing effect, and moreover, a combination of both will bring greater benefits, which is a feasible technology to obtain high productivity and efficiency of peanut.

  Effects of Rate and Way of Potassium Application on Biomass and Yield and Fiber Quality of Cotton 2013, 3 (2):  6-11.  Abstract + ( 1433 )   PDF ( 1083KB )   ( 1255 ) In order to find out the equitable fertilization modes and potassium amount, the field experiments were done to improve the yield and quality of cotton, and its resources optimization management at the same time. The effects of rate and way of potassium application on biomass, yield and fiber quality of cotton were studied using hybrid variety H318 on Lukou experimental station of Ezhou. Two factors including 5 potassium fertilizer application levels and 2 kinds of potassium fertilizer way were set up. The results showed that, biomass and yield of cotton increased with potassium fertilizer application rates, but slightly declined when potassium fertilizer application exceeded 120 kg/hm2. There was no significant difference on fiber quality between 5 potassium fertilizer application and 2 fertilizer way. Compared with soil-applied in single treatment (all at first square), biomass and yield of cotton were higher under potassium soil-applied in split treatment (1/2 at first square and 1/2 at first white flower). The maximum seed cotton yield was observed under potassium fertilizer application of 120 kg/hm2 with all of the K fertilizer soil-split at first square and first white flower. In single treatment, application of potassium fertilizer produced significant difference in seed weight and all quality index (except the upper-half mean length) of mean fiber. In split-applied treatment, there was a marked difference in biomass, yield and yield components, fiber uniformity, micronaire reading and fiber strength of lower fiber among K2O application in this study.
